"I just did The Art of Tantra Retreat with Amandeep And Valeska. We spent a beautiful weekend together and we went through a series of processes, meditations, and exercises. I got to learn a few new things about me and I know that lot of what we did is going to reveal itself to me in the coming weeks. I felt incredibly safe with their instructions and the care for the group. It was very transformational and I am very grateful to have done it. I am extra grateful for Amandeep. He is very very patient with the participants. Without imposing anything, he allows the group to go through the processes and he is always there to support each and every individual. I felt so much care from both Amandeep and Valeska. I highly recommend their work.” 🙏

“Thank you so much, Swami Amandeep and Valeska for an alchemical tantra retreat. The retreat was full of transformative individual and partner experiences with profound insights that are still emerging for me and I am still integrating. I entered the container without knowing what to expect and I come out of it reprogrammed with new beliefs and power of my own being. Your presence and teachings were full of wisdom and you held the space with love, making it easy and safe for everyone to be fully immersed in the deep work we were doing together. What a magical experience it has been, heartfelt gratitude.” ❤️🙏
