Welcome to the Tantra Gathering.
With great devotion we create a gathering, where you can explore in a safe en conscious way.
After hosting the Tantra Festival Amsterdam for some years, we felt it is time to expand and host a larger event as well, with private accomodation possibilities and for larger groups of people.
Since 2011 the OpenUP Festival has been hosting great festivals at Castle De Berckt, and Rakesh has been part of them as well. The variety of spaces that this venue is offering gives many opportunities to host beautiful workshops and grow each year.
For many years we have been professionaly hosting events throughout the Netherlands, we are now looking foreward to have an amazing Gathering here with you.
