Tantranima
Tantranima is a French-speaking collective founded in 2020, bringing together francophone facilitators of Tantra retreats.
Our purpose is:
- To create common frameworks on key topics such as ethics, responsibility, and communication.
- To share experiences and practices related to the facilitation of Tantra retreats.
Tantranima Ethical Charter
Preamble
Our approach is rooted in traditional Tantric lineages (Kashmiri Shaivism, various Buddhist traditions) while integrating contemporary currents. Today, we practice what is often called French Neo-Tantra.
This art of living is for people who wish to embody more authenticity, celebrate life in all its dimensions, and expand their awareness.
Because Tantra is a spiritual path that embraces every aspect of human experience—physical, emotional, spiritual, and sexual—facilitators carry a deep responsibility. Clear boundaries and alignment are essential to create a safe container where participants can fully explore the practices offered.
Each Tantranima facilitator commits to a path of personal awareness and self-knowledge. They reflect on their intentions and practices, conscious of the dynamics of power, projection, seduction, and transference. Their role is to remain as aligned and ethical as possible in guiding participants.
Ethical Commitments
All Tantranima facilitators agree to the following principles:
1. To ensure that the consent of the participants is clearly established, in their freedom to practice or not practice such or such a proposal or to adjust it.
2. To support each and every person in respecting their impulses and limits in their relationship to consent.
3. To respect the freedom of belief and opinion of the participants, and to in no case seek to impose an opinion, belief or dogma on them.
4. That they themselves and all their teams have no seductive or sexual relationship with the participants.
5. Practices leading to sexual intercourse should not be proposed. Tantric practices instead encourage the mobilization and circulation of vital energy.
6. To promote inclusivity for everyone within its internships (disability, LGBTQIA+, low income, age, origins, religions…)
7. To ensure that the conditions of confidentiality are made explicit and accepted by everyone: no disclosure of names, of the experiences of others, no photos or videos of people without their consent.
8. To participate in the intervision sessions offered by the Tantranima group and to also practice external supervision.
9. Participants will also be asked to commit to mutual respect, confidentiality, non-acting, non-violence, to be present for the entire duration of the course and, if necessary, to inform the facilitator and the group in case of early departure.
10. Each participant in a workshop led by a member of the Tantranima group may contact the Tantranima ethics committee if needed (complaints, questions, support, etc.)
