Tantric New Year Retreat
This time calls for a powerful light.
The turn of the year is a special time. It invites us to consciously let go of what no longer nourishes or serves us, and to set strong intentions for the year ahead. And how good it is to do that together.
We gather our energy into a high frequency, so that we step into the new year with love, trust and an open heart.
The days begin in silence and follow a gentle rhythm: time for yourself, a varied daily programme, healthy and delicious food, and evenings by the fire. You connect with nature, with yourself and with each other. There is a sauna, a fire ceremony, a cacao ceremony and a New Year's dip.
Expect rich inner work, massage, tantra and meditation, conscious dance, mantra chanting, breathwork, global healing meditations and sharing circles. You discover more about yourself and about your capacity to live in freedom and to share joy in life.
Evolve or repeat
What does this new time ask of you? These days give you space to find clarity around that. You can repeat or you can evolve. We choose to evolve: remembering your unique essence, living fully, connecting with your heart and honouring your body as a temple.
Claim your power and your beauty. Live the mystery of being human, remember your soul's purpose and trust in your authenticity and your innate wisdom.
We do this in the silence, far from the inhabited world, simply at Sadhaka in the heart of France.
Carried together
This is a week of co-creation. You can drink in the feeling of community, with room for deep connections from heart to heart. Together we shape a varied programme in which everyone can bring their own qualities and expertise: bodywork, tantra and personal development.
We carry the retreat together. Every morning Chandra or Wim offers a workshop from their broad tantra repertoire, and in the afternoon there is room for a workshop facilitated by one of the participants.
Who it's for
For everyone who wants to connect in a tantric setting.
- You have your own daily practice, such as yoga or meditation.
- You have been walking the Tantra path for a while.
- You feel comfortable being naked in a group.
- You have done inner work and are able to hold yourself in it.
If you are a therapist, masseur, coach or trainer, we'd love it if you can contribute something to the programme!

Am I expected to contribute something myself?
No, these five days are a co-creation. The morning programme is decided by vote from a broad range of workshops that Wim and Chandra offer. In the afternoon there is room for one or two workshops facilitated by participants. You can submit your contribution in advance by email, or sense on the spot whether inspiration arises for something to offer. Nothing is required, and simply taking part is also perfectly fine. You always have a valuable contribution to make, just by Being with all that you are.
What language is spoken?
We welcome a warm mix of Dutch and international participants, which makes for a lovely meeting of people and cultures. The workshops are given in English, so that everyone can take part and feel connected.
How do the meals work?
A professional cook is present for the dinners. A few team members take care of breakfast and lunch, supported by the participants. With a kitchen duty rota we coordinate the kitchen work around breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ask everyone to take part in kitchen duty for about an hour a day, and to do their own dishes.
Is there alcohol?
The retreat is alcohol-free. Only on New Year's Eve do we raise a glass of bubbles at midnight.
What about nudity?
Some workshops, such as tantra massage, can be done naked for practical reasons. That is why it is important that you feel comfortable with this.
Will you step into the new year with us?
Let go of the old year with us and welcome the new year with an open heart.

Experiences
“The Sadhaka team created a setting of sincere Welcome and an Embracing Peace and Stillness in their beautiful, nature-rich oasis in Orsennes. The positive impact of this New Years Retreat on my inner wellbeing and my outlook on the future is great. Inner layers of awareness were opened for me that I would never have wanted to miss, through a varied range of workshops, authentic Presence and warm Connection from and with everyone. Immense thanks and all the Best on the further Sadhaka Path!”
