Book Your Space
Would you like to learn the art of Tantra massage? To know yourself more clearly, to bring something new into a relationship, or as a foundation for further training down the line, there are as many reasons to come to this seminar as there are people who attend. Our four-day Tantra Massage Seminar gives you enough time to learn the fundamentals properly, step by step, with plenty of room to actually practise what you’ve learned.
Why four days?
A weekend isn’t long enough to learn and practise the full structure of a Tantra massage properly. At the other end, a week or a series of weekends is more than most people need, particularly if you’re learning for your own use rather than towards professional training. Four days strikes the balance: long enough to teach the fundamentals thoroughly and build real confidence putting them into practice, short enough to stay manageable alongside work and life.
We see this as basic level training: intensive enough to really learn, and enough of a challenge to stimulate real growth, realisation, and personal integration.
Who it’s for
Open to couples and to singles, and no prior experience is needed. The practice sessions are floor-based, so you’ll want to be comfortable kneeling and sitting for periods of time, and a reasonable level of joint mobility helps, both for your own comfort and for giving a massage to a partner. If you have any concerns about your ability to take part, get in touch directly and we can talk it through before you register.
The Heart of the Seminar
This isn’t just a course in sensual massage. You’ll learn the techniques, and you’ll learn them properly, but the techniques aren’t the point. What we’re really practising is presence: being with another person, and with ourselves, without performance, without expectation, and without judgement.
Most of us have learned to keep pleasure and sensuality at arm’s length, to treat them as separate from who we are, or something to feel awkward about. This seminar works the other way. Touch becomes a way back into accepting the whole of ourselves, sensual and sexual nature included, not as something set apart or hidden, but as part of being human. The techniques exist to serve that, not the other way round.
And if you’re already comfortable and open with your own sensuality, this is a chance to look closer. Openness can carry its own performance too, its own expectations of how things should go, how you should show up, what being “good at this” looks like. This seminar is as much an opportunity to notice those layers as it is to learn something new, and to practise letting go of them consciously, rather than simply trading one set of learned behaviour for another.
What you’ll learn
The full structure and techniques of the Tantra massage ritual, alongside the practice of presence and awareness that underpins it. Some sessions will include short guided meditation, breathwork, basic movement and dance, alongside the massage work itself.
This seminar is TAOS’s 4-day Tantra Massage foundation training. You’ll receive a TAOS certificate and a printed step-by-step manual of the complete ritual, and you can return to future workshops at a reduced rate.

Facilitation
Wesley Tan will be facilitating the seminar throughout, and may be joined by models to support guided demonstrations (to be confirmed).
Practice format
Sessions combine guided demonstration with paired practice. We aim for a balanced number of women and men, so everyone has a partner to practise with. Partnering isn’t assigned: each person chooses who they practise with, session by session, and for most of the ritual any pairing works. Couples can stay together throughout or practise with others.
The yoni and lingam sections follow a set structure: women learn lingam massage and men learn yoni massage, practising in woman–man pairs. We can’t guarantee an exact balance in every case, particularly if someone withdraws close to the seminar, but we’ll always look for the best solution for the group.
The venue
We’ll be based at Garth Barns & Country House, a converted barn and country house set across 230 acres near Llanidloes in the Powys hills. There’s woodland, open hilltop walking, a private lake for wild swimming, and a light-filled studio where we’ll spend most of our time together. Rooms are en-suite, either single or shared double.
