For generations, many were taught to turn away from the body and to shame or silence sexuality, as if these vital forces stood in the way of something higher. Today, sexuality is often not silenced but devalued, reduced to performance or consumption, stripped of its deeper relational and spiritual potential. Yet both body and sexuality are not obstacles, they are living gateways into presence, intimacy, and transformational pleasure.
What if the very patterns that once kept us contained could soften and dissolve? What if in their place we discovered pleasure and orgasm as an expanding current, carrying us into greater vitality, aliveness, and intimacy with life itself?
In Tantric Body De-armouring, sexuality is honoured as a source of vitality and expansion. Through presence and embodied practice, the body becomes a pathway to awakening, where pleasure nourishes clarity, intimacy deepens connection, and sexual energy ignites the possibility of a more authentic, expansive life.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE RETREAT EXPERIENCE
Since 1998, Andrew Barnes has been developing Tantric Body De-armouring (TBD) as a way of preparing the body for deeper states of pleasure, vitality, and expanded awareness. TBD supports the body and nervous system to relax, open, and respond with greater ease, so that experiences such as full-body orgasms, altered states of consciousness, and kundalini awakenings can be met without overwhelm.
With the right preparation and guidance, these states become deeply nourishing and life-changing in so many ways.
Awakening Erotic Vitality
During the retreat, you are invited to let go of the armour that has built up around your body and sexuality. Beneath those layers lies a vast reservoir of energy and aliveness.
TBD opens the pathways for this energy to circulate more freely, allowing you to feel more awake, more responsive, and more connected to your erotic vitality.
THE power OF TANTRIC BODY DE-ARMOURING
Many people feel caught in an endless cycle of trying to heal or fix themselves. TBD offers something different. It is not about fixing, but about releasing what no longer serves, and stepping into greater autonomy, agency, and aliveness.
Beyond pleasure and ecstasy, TBD supports a deeper sense of wellness, relationship vitality, and clarity of life purpose.
Remembering Ancestral Wisdom
We inherit more than physical features from our ancestors. We also carry patterns, emotions, and unspoken stories. Yet within this inheritance lies great wisdom, resilience, and love.
Through Tantric Body De-armouring, we can reconnect with this deeper current, letting go of what holds us back while drawing strength from the ancestral gifts that support our unfolding.
CULTIVATING HIGH-VIBRATIONAL STATES of expansion
Throughout the retreat, practices prepare the body and nervous system to experience expanded states of pleasure and vitality. These states are not abstract ideals, but felt realities , experiences of joy, bliss, and aliveness that ripple into every cell of our body and every area of life.
By softening old patterns and opening to new possibilities, participants often discover a richer connection to themselves, to others, and to the creative pulse of life itself.
EXPLOre THE POWER OF TANTRIC BODY DE-ARMOURING (TBD)
This retreat is an invitation to experience Tantric Body De-armouring (TBD) in both giving and receiving. You will discover how the body stores tension and emotion, and how, when released with sensitivity and awareness, new pathways of pleasure, vitality, and intimacy become available.
Over the course of the retreat, you will be guided through:
Learn Tantric Body De-armoring
Practise the art of giving and receiving de-armouring in a trauma-informed way that honours boundaries and supports deeper opening.
Preparing yourself
Discover how to prepare yourself or a partner for a de-armouring session, creating conditions of trust, presence, and readiness.
Releasing Patterns in the Body
Work with breath, sound, and touch to dissolve armour held in muscles and trigger points that can restrict pleasure and orgasmic flow.
Awakening Sexual Energy
Explore how to circulate sexual energy through the body, inviting expansion into higher states of awareness and embodied pineal gland activation.
Expanding Breath and Movement
Use conscious breathing and rhythmic movement to deepen energy flow, release emotional blockages, and celebrate the body’s innate wisdom.
Authentic Erotic Expression
Open to experiencing your sensuality and sexual energy in ways that feel natural, liberating, and alive.
Integrating Maps and Rituals
Apply the insights of the Relationship Map in your intimacy and daily life, and experience powerful group rituals such as the Reconciliation Ritual between Women and Men, the Cacao Orgasmic Breath Dance Meditation, and the Sananga Ceremony.
Awakening Through Dance
Dance is a natural way for the body to express what words cannot. In this retreat, movement becomes a practice of release and celebration. Through rhythm and breath, you’ll awaken energy, dissolve blockages, and rediscover the pleasure of being fully alive.
EMPOWERMENT AND EXPRESSION
True empowerment emerges from deep self-awareness and unabridged acceptance, paired with the freedom to express our innermost truths. This retreat offers a blend of introspection, exhilaration, and expansion, an odyssey into personal liberation, self-realisation, and zest for life.
Open to All
A JOURNEY FOR INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, AND PROFESSIONALS ALIKE
This retreat welcomes individuals, couples, and people of all genders and sexual orientations, serving as a gateway to uncharted realms of self-discovery and unparalleled potential.
