Who are we?
We are Shashi and Shahid, and it is our passion to teach Tantra specifically to couples. With so much of Tantra aimed at singles, we felt that it was necessary to create retreats that were 100% designed for couples....hence, The Tantric Couple.
Shashi Solluna has been teaching Tantra for nearly 20 years, runs teacher trainings and is the author of Tantra Made Easy (Hay House).
Shahid van Helden is trained in Kashmiri Tantra Massage and is a trainee facilitator of the Tantra Essence School of Tantra. He leads men's groups in Holland. |
what people are saying...
"Certainly the most incredible and unexpected experience I ever had in my life. Literally my life changed during that week in Andalucia for me and my husband as well.
In few words it was profound, loving, exciting, juicy and so much fun. We laugh to tears, we re-discovered each other, dug into deep triggers and moved through them, and discovered what creativity means in a relationship. Even though our couple relationship and intimacy were already great before the retreat, Oh my god… I couldn’t even imagine I could feel such incredible sensations. I really feel that the modern word offers us to know less than 5% of our sexual potential!
All practices are really powerful and so enjoyable. I am impressed how a “spiritual journey” an bring so much pleasure and fun. The teaching of Shashi and Shahid is so inspirational, but not only, it was well structured and brings any amazing experience through music, room atmosphere, set up; way above expectations.
So yes, Tantra works! Even for people how have not done even one meditation in their life! And it’s life changing! A deep thank you Shashi and Shahid…for changing the world! "

The Tantric Couple Retreats
Stunning Locations
The Tantric Couple Retreats are held in locations carefully chosen to inspire romance, relax body and mind and take the couple away from everyday life for a while. We take great efforts to find retreat centers that honour the sacred, give us the privacy needed for this work, and also have accommodation suitable for couples.
A Guided Journey
The Tantric Couple Retreats are designed as a journey into deeper intimacy together. Before we begin the journey, we help you to create a safe container, plus a plan for what to do in moments you might get triggered (easily happens as we endeavor to open up deeper). Then each day will give you practices to deepen into your connection with each other.
Your Private Time
Unlike singles Tantra workshops, at the Tantric Couple Retreats you have part of the practices in the classroom and part of the practice in your own private room. We believe it is important to bring the tantric practices and rituals into your private life, and this starts on the retreat. You will be given "homework" (trust us, it could be the best homework you were even given!) to do in your own time in the privacy of your own room. Later you can share your experience, both the highlights and the challenges.
Empowerment Together
In Tantra, the secret to happy relationships and intimacy is to learn how to take full responsibility for:
And the knack is to find how to be sovereign, and yet still enter into deep intimacy with another. At The Tantric Couple, we teach you how to own your own sexuality and truth, so that you can fully show up to meet your beloved. * Tantra refers to Neo-Tantra, a modern-day path that fuses ancient concepts with modern psychotherapy in a trauma-informed way. It is designed to suit modern-day people. This is a path with no guru, but the methods themselves teach you by experience. Thus it trusts in the Universal Intelligence.

P.S.
Protecting your Privacy on a Couples' Retreat
Many couples would love to explore Tantra together, but a fear that can arise about joining a workshop is that they don't want to have to share all their deepest issues with a whole group. We completely understand the need to maintain some privacy in your intimate life, and therefore we create a space that respects that.
- If you don't want to share anything about your personal issues, you are welcome to just come along and enjoy the meditations and practices.
- If you wish to share confidentially with a facilitator, you can do so via writing (the intake form below or an email prior to the group). Or take a moment to chat with one of us during the retreat.
- You may have the desire to share openly with the other couples on the retreat (for that feeling of getting it out of the shadows). We will all create a confidential space together for that purpose.
- There are also separate men and women's sharing circles on the longer retreats.
- We ask that each partner deeply respects what is vulnerable for their partner. Thus, we will invite you to share what is vulnerable for you, but not to share what is vulnerable for your partner (as that can feel uncomfortably exposing). If there is an issue that is delicate between you, we ask you to discuss this privately together and decide if you want to share or not (or how much feels comfortable to share).
This space needs to feel completely safe for everyone, and so it is important that everyone feels they can make their own boundaries around what is revealed, and has the right to protect their own privacy. You will be guided into how to set your boundaries at the start of each retreat.
