About this Retreat
Your Guides
Guillaume is the founder and facilitator of Men’s Hearts, a sacred space where gay, bi, and queer men can explore Tantra as a path to healing, pleasure, and connection.
His journey began as a clinical psychologist in France, working with adolescents in public psychiatry. In 2010, a powerful spiritual awakening led him to explore his intuitive gifts, offering personal growth workshops and spiritual development sessions as a clairvoyant therapist across France and Belgium.
In 2015, Guillaume encountered Tantra. It was a profound shift that transformed his relationship with intimacy, pleasure, and personal power. He realised that sexuality could be conscious, sacred, and deeply nourishing. Since then, he has trained extensively, including with Tantra pioneers Margot Anand and Jacques Lucas, and contributed to the ethical commission of Tantranima, an organisation committed to upholding integrity and safety in Tantra spaces.
He is particularly interested in the relational aspect of Tantra, and how it invites us to meet one another in truth, presence, and care. His approach blends classical Tantra, neo-Tantra, and French neo-Tantra, infused with a French therapeutic sensitivity.
Guillaume brings a rare blend of depth, humour, structure, and care, inviting men from all over the world to reconnect with their bodies, open their hearts, and experience joy, healing, and authentic connection. Each retreat is a carefully held space where sexual energy becomes a source of self-love, transformation, and deep brotherhood.
