Esoteric Tantra Massage Education

Basic Education

 A 10 month education with all the tools for giving the gift of conscious touch. Get to know yourself better. Learn about your energy systems. Remove blockages. Offer yourself as a channel of universal energies such as love and eros when giving a massage.

The Basic Education starts 2nd May 2025

This massage education is offered by the Tantra Temple in Denmark to become a Tantric Massage Therapist. It will help you grow personally, erotically, and spiritually. We made it so you can help us share the gift of Tantra Massage with the world.

Overview of the education

The education is a 10 month education consisting of 8 modules in the form of 7 weekends and 1 full week.

Eight intense modules

Each module consists of lectures, workshops, massage practice, energy work, Meridian and Hatha yoga, and group exercises.

Integration

Between the modules your homework is to practice what you have learned so far.

Seven live calls

There will also be an online meeting between each module where we check in and follow up with each other.

Personal tutor

You can choose to be assigned a professional masseur to personally help you with guidance through the entire education. There is an additional cost, but we know from experience that you get more out of the education with this support.

Materials

You will receive extensive written handouts for the lectures, exercises, and massages that you learn.

Exam

At the end of the Basic Education there will be an exam. When you pass the exam you will receive a diploma.

Time between the modules

Between the modules you will be integrating what you have learned in your daily life.

Start a yoga practice

Become more aware and have more energy for your transformations. The education gives you plenty of exercises to choose from. Your tutor can help you select a personal program.

Read up

Get a deeper understanding the second (or third) time going through the written materials.

Put the concepts into practice

Active love requires action. Conscious touch requires touching.

Practice giving massages

As you grow more confident, you will start giving massages to friends or other volunteers. The practice will not only make you better at giving massage, but will also help you identify where your main challenges are.

Personal Tutor

The more you work, the quicker you learn and evolve. You may feel in need of guidance as that happens, and therefore we offer you the option of having a personal tutor assigned to you.

Personal tutor

From the very beginning of the education, we can assign you a highly trained tantra masseur, who will be your personal tutor and who will follow your progress during the education. There will be an additional fee (see prices). Your tutor will give you  feedback, which is an opportunity for you to go deeper with your own process.

Having a personal tutor also implies that you will receive or give three massages from/to your tutor. After each massage session you will receive valuable feedback and homework accordingly. It also implies that you will have a longer intimate talk with your tutor, preferably at the very first session, in order to get to know each other better and so that the tutor can afterwards guide you better through the process.

The tutor also helps you keep in touch with the Esoteric Tantra Massage Education in between the modules. Most communication is done via email, Zoom or phone, but you are also welcome to meet up with your tutor. During the actual modules the tutors may or may not be present, and if they are, they will be available for your questions during their own free time.

Main themes of the Basic Education

Focus on getting to know yourself better, learning about your own energy, and how to make it flow freely. Truly knowing yourself is an essential step for becoming able to emphatically connect with others. To help others, you must first have something to give.

You will learn the basic structure and techniques for giving tantric massages during the basic education, but there will be less focus on advanced techniques, and more focus on getting you into the correct state before, during, and after the massage.

A second chance

Should you fail to pass the exam, you will get a chance to read up on, or practice on your weaknesses, and then take a re-examination. As long as you put in the effort, we want you to succeed.

Diploma

After passing the basic education exam you will receive a diploma from the Tantra Temple for completing the Basic Education in Esoteric Tantra Massage.

Why choose this education?

We don’t just teach massage

We will teach you techniques of touch, points to press, how to lift and how to hold. But a tantra massage only makes sense within the full ancient tradition of tantra. We will be teaching you tools for finding happiness and spiritual evolution.

Learn about your energy

We will teach you about your energetic structure. And how to grow and control your energy through exercises, erotic continence, and polarity with the opposite sex. You have great potential, but it requires awareness. Once you know, you can choose to become a better lover, a more creative artist, a more helpful and harmonious person, or all of these. It is up to you.

Have more, know more, be more, so you have more to give

If you have a better life you have more to share as a masseur. But you also have more to give in a couple relationship. We teach you about the special qualities of men and women and how to work with them instead of against.

The Conscious Touch is powerful

Intimacy should not be avoided, nor is it something to be chased or consumed. Learn how to allow pure eros to be present without compromising the safety of you or the receiver of your massage.

In the end, it is all about love

We want to teach you tantra massage, because it is a wonderful gift for us to give to you. Because the massage is a wonderful gift for you to give the receiver. Because receiving the massage is not only a wonderful experience but a help to evolve. We will teach you about active love, and how to use it to make the world a better place.

Testimonials

I started in TME with a vague idea of it being “good for my development”. At the end of it, I was spouting poetry. Like this which gives my opinion of TME:

The Tantra Massage Education for me was an amazing journey of inner discovery. We were going step by step into very delicate subjects like erotical openness, ability to control and direct our energies and desires, removing blockages and inhibitions, acceptance of ourselves and the others.

My own experience of the Tantra Massage Education has been a deep and transforming journey. Through the education I have reached a deeper understanding of the Tantric philosophy which had a great impact on my own personal evolution and the way I choose to live my life now.

Meet the Teachers

All the teachers in the education are professional Tantra masseurs from the Tantra Temple with many years of experience.

Discovering the nature of the human being

Personal development feels threatening to our egos, because it challenges our idea of who we are. So you should not be surprised to experience a minor “crisis” or two during the education. We are not only here to teach you, but also to support you through this process.

When you complete the Basic Education, you are able to go out and give the gift of Tantra Massage. You have learned the correct attitude, you have learned technique. You have started to discover the nature of a human being as one of energy.

With Love,
The Esoteric Tantra Massage Education Team
