We are excited to announce this beautiful tantra-inspired workshop where you will be given the opportunity to explore connection, presence, and conscious touch in a playful and safe environment. During this day, you will learn how slowing down and becoming more present can deepen intimacy, communication, and connection.This workshop is perfect if you would like to:• Explore each other through conscious and tantra-inspired touch
• Practice the art of giving and receiving
• Learn simple massage techniques you can use at home
• As a couple, spend a relaxed and meaningful day togetherThis workshop combines elements from tantric practices, the Wheel of Consent, oil massage, energetic touch, breathwork and connecting exercises. The tantric aspect is mainly about slowing down, becoming present, and learning to truly feel and communicate. No previous experience with tantra or massage is needed, and the workshop is open to couples and singles. So, expect an afternoon with depth, relaxation, and playfulness. All you need is an open mind and some curiosity.You’ll walk away with:• A deeper connection with your own body
• A deeper sense of connection with others
• More clarity about what you enjoy and what you don’t (in giving and receiving)
• Simple exercises and touch practices you can continue at home
• The experience of giving and receiving. You will discover how to ask for what you enjoy, for your own pleasure. You will also feel whether you wish to give to the other, for their pleasure.This workshop is facilitated by Philippe Bonny.With over 15 years of experience, Philippe is a tantra massage therapist, workshop facilitator, and coach who combines a background in psychology with a warm, down-to-earth approach to personal growth. Having learned from teachers around the world and assisted in countless tantra and meditation retreats, he brings together depth, intuition, and practical wisdom in his work.Philippe’s approach invites people to reconnect with their bodies, soften what has become tense, and rediscover the natural flow of energy, pleasure, and presence. Through bodywork, mindful touch, coaching, and playful exploration, his sessions and workshops encourage curiosity, awareness, and authentic self-expression—without the pressure to be perfect or to have everything figured out.Expect a grounded atmosphere, a touch of humor, and the freedom to simply be human. A place where you can slow down, breathe deeper, and truly arrive in your body.Philippe creates a safe and respectful space to explore, relax, and open up—at your own pace.www.puretantra.be(3) FacebookWhat to bring:• food for potluck (lunch)Drinking bottle• Pareo

Shibari meets tantra 30 mei 2026


Workshop can be given in English if we have mixed language participants.

Er is een plek in ons die verlangt om te verzachten. Om vastgehouden te worden, zonder vragen. Om te stoppen met doen — en eenvoudigweg te ontvangen. Wij nodigen je uit in die heilige plek. Kom erbij — Michael Bentein en Philippe Bonny — voor een daglange immersie in overgave via Shibari en tantramassage. Deze workshop is een uitnodiging om overgave te ervaren, niet als verlies van kracht, maar als het ontwaken van diepere intimiteit, veiligheid en aanwezigheid. Met elke knoop, elke aanraking, elke ademhaling begeleiden we je in de kunst van loslaten — van spanning, van controle, van de verhalen die je lichaam gesloten houden.Hier wordt touw een ritueel. Massage wordt medicijn.Samen gaan we:— Basis Shibari-technieken aanleren
— Tantramassage verkennen als poort naar aanwezigheid en plezier
— Oefenen in leiden, volgen en bewust wisselen van rol
— Ruimte creëren voor emotionele diepte, stilte en helende aanraking
— Overgave verankeren, niet alleen in het lichaam, maar ook in het hartDit is een trauma-sensitieve bedding waarin alle delen van jou welkom zijn: je verlangen, je weerstand, je rand, je ja en je nee.

Voor wie is het?
Singles, koppels, nieuwsgierige zielen — geen ervaring nodig. Kom met een partner, of laat je in veiligheid en respect koppelen.
