REINHARD GAIDA

His mission is to guide people in shaping relationships and intimacy that genuinely fit their individuality – embracing freedom, consciousness, and vibrant aliveness.

Through transformative retreats, workshops and immersive experiences, he opens doors to new ways of loving and experiencing intimacy – helping joy and vitality to flourish from within.

I am a Holistic Trauma-Sensitive Integration and Empowerment Coach and Compassionate Inquiry Practitioner. I bring a big heart and a kick-ass mentality to my 1:1 work with clients, as well as into workshops, festivals and experience designs. With reference to my creative and communicative background, I bring tools and methods that turn your healing journey into a playground for being and becoming aware.

NIKO DEININGER

Driven by an untamable lust for life, by the freedom of dance, connected with the world of the seen and unseen and in love with the people and beings of this planet, I create inner and outer spaces for unfolding, healing and pure joy of life — spaces that help overcome suffering and transform human existence into a profound and ecstatic celebration.

Eva Katharina Schaeffeler

Holistic, body-focused coaching for more fulfillment in intimacy and life force

Four major strands (extensive studies and work experience) in my life converge into my present work as a transformation guide (with focus on embodiment and intimacy). These important resources are literature, philosophy, psycholinguistics and contemporary dance, as well as  adult education, coaching and life-long studies of human potential.

My approach is therefore broad, holistic and personal. I endeavor to create solid, non-judgmental and joyful spaces for my clients so they feel free and safe to experiment and explore under my guidance, allowing themselves to feel more pleasure and expand toward finding states of inner peace and flow. I will focus on the physical, but always also address the mental, emotional and spiritual components revealed through mindful and conscious bodywork. For this aim I may choose to mix various modalities and create unique experiences.

I work with individuals as well as with groups or couples, which brings in another exciting challenge: conscious and authentic relating.

MUNNA

Intuitive Massage Therapist, Somatic Breathwork Facilitator, Doula, Menstrual Cycle Awareness Facilitator, Women’s Health, Sacred Sexuality and Ancient Temple Arts Student, facilitator and explorer. A long-time curious explorer of life, health and intimacy, I bring and share my knowledge with deep respect for these realms, integrating it into every workshop or in-person session that I facilitate.

Over the last few years, I have primarily worked as a Doula and Menstrual Cycle Awareness facilitator, mainly with women. My focus is on assisting them in reconnecting with their bodies, inner power and menstrual cycle.

I began my journey into bodywork in 2008 and have since explored and combined various influences and knowledge from Reiki, Ayurvedic and Swedish massage, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Tantra and Dearmouring. This unique blend forms a dance of care deeply in service, embodying my role as an Intuitive Massage Therapist with all heart and soul.

More recently, I have embraced the path of a Somatic Breathwork Trauma Release facilitator, delving into the deep realms of trauma and its somatic embodiment.

Now, I am living my dream of warmly welcoming profound experiences in my own safe and sacred space in the heart of Lisbon. It is a space for all to grow, expand, transform, own their power and live life to its full potential.

ILDIKO VEGH

As a certified Somatic Bodyworker, intimacy coach and tantric masseuse (certified by TMV) I have been supporting people since 2012 on their journey toward a harmonious and fulfilling intimate life. I founded my first private practice for intimacy counseling and tantric massage in 2012. Since 2020 I have been working as an intimacy coach and tantric masseuse in Vienna.

I have realized what truly motivates me in my work: experiencing intimacy as fulfilling and joyful leads people to perceive and live with more vitality, zest for life, satisfaction and optimism in their everyday lives. Yes, that would be my message for humanity.

We humans are fortunate. We have the freedom to experience and unfold our intimacy in the way we wish. Yes, if we are ready for a journey of discovery through the wonderful world of our body and senses. Good intimacy can be learned!

DELIA RUBICK

I feel at home in many worlds, yet the one dearest to me is that of integral Tantra. My vision even led me to found the Vision Institute for Integral Tantra in Vienna.

It is a heartfelt mission of mine to create spaces where people can meet each other naturally and with appreciation, free from beliefs, ideas and expectations. In my seminars I therefore create special experiences again and again – breath journeys, oil rituals, women’s circles and massages where the magic of touch can be felt.

My therapeutic background lies in art and design therapy as well as body and energy work according to Milton Trager and Kaula Tantra Yoga.

Lea Rigo & Philipp Mitterhofer

Lea is a pleasure-positive workshop facilitator, intimacy educator, grief counselor and psychosocial consultant with a background in cultural and social anthropology. She creates safer spaces where people can feel themselves and their bodies more deeply, with a focus on consent, mindfulness and the de-tabooing of intimacy.

For Lea, Soft & Raw is not just work but also feminist activism that celebrates consent, pleasure and self-determination. She sees ropes in particular as a tool for enabling closeness and authentic connection.

Philipp discovered his fascination for bondage five years ago and has since been facilitating workshops that enable connection and mindful self-exploration. As a life coach Philipp emphasizes less on technique and more on creating deep moments of connection.

His clear and calm manner leaves plenty of room for playfulness. In his workshops he creates a space where people can discover new sides of themselves and safely explore emotional boundaries.

Angeline Heilfort & Rubem Joy Fockink

We – Angeline Anett Heilfort and Rubem Joy Fockink – form the core facilitation team of KuschelRaum.

We create spaces that invite people to open up in their own time – to feel safe, seen, and touchable. Our work weaves together trauma-informed coaching, conscious touch, and consent-based group processes. We offer embodied experiences that bring people into mindful connection with themselves and with others – guided by clarity, empathy, and somatic presence.

A central element of our approach is the Wheel of Consent by Dr. Betty Martin, which provides a clear and safe framework to translate touch, self-awareness, and mutual consent into lived experience.

Angeline brings many years of experience in bodywork, communication, massage, and emotional process facilitation.

Rubem is a cuddle, yoga, and trauma therapist with an intercultural background. His work is grounded in self-empowerment, caring intimacy, and somatic integration.

Together, we hold space for conscious touch, embodied intimacy, and self-discovery – through individual sessions, group formats, trainings and retreats.

TILL & SHIRKA

Till (all pronouns) and Shirka (she/her) invite humans to explore their desires, embrace their uniqueness and find a little more freedom in themselves.

Shirka comes from a background in music, performance and visual arts. In recent years, she’s also dived into bodywork and is on her way to becoming a Lomi Lomi practitioner. With many years in the s*-positive scene, she has slowly but surely grown into her inner dominatrix – a role that once pushed her out of her comfort zone but now feels in her element. She loves inspiring others to discover their own expression.

Her passion? Creating spaces where people can explore their intimacy and boundaries in a safe, playful way.

Till has spent years teaching – languages, theater, flow arts – while also setting stages on fire as a self-employed fire dancer and performance artist. S*-positive spaces became a place of deep personal growth for him and now he brings that energy into his workshops: amix of lightness, depth and a good dose of humor. He loves guiding people to the edge of their comfort zone, where they think, “Wait..! Can I really do this?” – only to realize, “Oh yes! And it feels amazing!”

Till & Shirka come from the “Burning Man” culture and highly value the principles of Self-Responsibility, Co-Creation, Immediacy and Self-Expression. Together, they host Workshops and Temples in Berlin, Vienna & Zürich – for everyone looking for sensual exploration, personal growth, playful fun and a juicy community.

RUBY MAY

Ruby May is a British, Berlin-based coach, facilitator, and community weaver devoted to midwifing a culture rooted in body wisdom and right relationship with the world. Since training as a s**ological bodyworker in 2010, she has researched and taught on intimacy and shadow work. Her years as a dominatrix sparked a deep inquiry into power and feminine leadership, leading to a focus on the role of the female body in personal and cultural transformation. Ruby serves as community lead for Red School’s alumni – the largest global network of women exploring feminine spirituality through the womb – and offers coaching and talks on menopause as a rite of passage through SABIA.

Central to her work is cultivating the relational skills needed to live with nuance, compassion and connection in an increasingly polarised world.

Sotantar

Sotantar’s path began during his medical studies, where he realized that true healing goes far beyond treating symptoms. For more than 35 years, he has been exploring the profound effects of sound, breath, rhythm and meditation on the body, the nervous system and consciousness.

In Australia, he discovered the Didgeridoo and with it the power of breath – a foundation that continues to shape his work today. Over 15 years, he spent extended periods in Bali, immersing himself in spiritual practices, massage, Rolfing and energy work, which deepened his own inner strength.

Today, Sotantar shares this wealth of experience in individual and group sessions. Through dearmouring, massage, breathwork and consciousness practices, he guides people toward their full potential, creating safe and nurturing spaces where trust, healing, and transformation can unfold.

Naresh Moves

My work always invites depth, playfulness, and real human connection.

I’m Naresh Marco Längst – group facilitator, yoga teacher, and founder of The Feel Club – The Gym for Your Emotions. 

The approach to my work is that I can only guide people into spaces where I myself have been, worked through and become familiar with. I see myself as a guide into your emotional world. For the last 15 years, I’ve used my own body as a teacher, studying movement, posture and the deep connection between body and mind. Over the past 5 years, I’ve immersed myself deeply into the world of emotions, integrating the way of the heart into the body-mind complex. I’m a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher and deeply influenced by the work of the Osho Humaniversity, where I’ve spent significant parts of the last three years living, learning and facilitating.
