What happens when men gather to dance, paint each other's bodies, and surrender to sensual touch—without clothes and without reservations?
The upcoming weekend workshop "Tantric Freedom and Fun" attempts to answer that question. Behind the initiative is Jacob from Tantra4Men, who has been working with tantric communities for men for several years. He sees a growing longing among men for spaces where they can be vulnerable and sensual – without the pressure to perform.
"We create a safe and playful space where men can be naked without having to perform. Here, it's not about looking a certain way, but about feeling yourself and each other with respect and curiosity,"says Jacob.
The weekend program is anything but traditional. There are no PowerPoint presentations or group work. Instead, participants are invited to explore their bodies through touch, movement, and sensual play. One of the highlights is the oil workshop with Thomas Dehn, where participants—wearing swimsuits—surrender to warm hands and warm oil. Their eyes are blindfolded, and their bodies are allowed to take control in an intense and healing experience.
Later in the day, the journey continues with intuitive dance. Blindfolded, participants are given the opportunity to let go of control and allow their bodies to move freely. The dance opens up direct contact with the body's impulses and often creates a surprising sense of presence.
A more playful, but no less powerful exercise is the Worship ritual. Here, participants decorate each other's naked bodies with body paint and have the opportunity to honor, admire, and explore each other's bodies through creativity and contact. The exercise evokes both laughter and reflection—and creates space to be seen and appreciated without expectations.
For those who want to explore the more intense, the weekend also offers flogging and sensation play. Here, the focus is on safety, trust, and consent—and how intensity and pleasure can go hand in hand. It is an opportunity to try out what it feels like to surrender to another—or to take responsibility and lead.
"We invite men to feel their bodies, their desires, and their sensitivity—without shame and without having to put a lid on anything. There is room here for the vulnerable, the strong, and the naughty,"explains Jacob.
The workshop is aimed at men of all ages and backgrounds who want to explore their sensuality and masculine energy. Whether you are new to the world of tantra or have experience, there is room to learn and play.
Throughout the weekend, participants continuously switch partners, so everyone has the opportunity to mirror themselves in different bodies, energies, and expressions. This creates both security and variety – and emphasizes that there is no one right way to be a man.
Participants learn specific techniques from tantric massage and work with ecstatic touch – touch that can make the whole body vibrate. Towards the end, the focus is on the art of seduction. How do you flirt with your body? How do you invite others into a present encounter – whether with a partner, on a date, or in a more playful context?
The workshop is not sexual in the traditional sense, but it constantly moves in the borderland between the sensual and the erotic. Here, participants are allowed to feel what happens when they let go of preconceptions and enter a space where the body – and not the mind – is allowed to take the lead.
"Tantric Freedom and Fun"is not a party. It is not a course. It is an experience. A game. A journey back to the body – and further into genuine contact with other men.
