Team
We have gathered an amazing team to co-create and hold this festival experience for you.
Festival Management
Ananda Inglin (Organizer)
Ananda has been teaching the tantric arts in Switzerland since 2021.
She has dedicated herself to the teachings of tantra with great devotion. Her workshops and retreats have impacted the lives of hundreds of participants by guiding them through a process of self-realization, healing and transformation.
Ela Flury (Manager)
Ela’s path has been shaped by embodiment, personal growth, authenticity, and the exploration of genuine human connection. In 2022, she discovered Tantra, which opened a profound doorway into presence, self-awareness, and deeper relating. Her devotion to inner growth had already been part of her life for many years, and Tantra became a meaningful expansion of that journey.
Today, Ela brings this path into her work with Soul Soma, which she co-creates with her sister Simone. Together, they hold spaces for women through embodiment, breathwork, sound, women’s circles, retreats, and transformational events — inviting softness, truth, authenticity, connection, and a deeper return to the body.
They creates community spaces through workshops, markets and gatherings, with a deep love for bringing people together in an authentic and grounded way. She brings warmth, dedication, and heartfelt care to the team and the festival space.

Roy Lissack (Volunteer Manager)
Roy has been dancing with the magic of Tantra for over 11 years. What started as curiosity quickly became a lifelong love affair with presence, connection, and the mysteries of the body.

Roy brings warmth, authenticity, and a grounded spiritual presence. His work is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and rediscover the joy of being fully, vibrantly alive.
PRESENTERS

He will lovingly guide you through your transformative journey, helping you release limiting beliefs around what you can create and tap into your full potential.

At the heart of Mahara’s work is an invitation to meet ourselves more fully. She gently guides people towards what may be uncomfortable, hidden or feared—not to fix or overcome it, but to bring awareness, love and curiosity to it.

Her encounter with Tandava and the Yoga of Touch felt like a homecoming: practices that gave embodied form to something she had long known intimately — the spaciousness and freedom that can emerge when we stop trying to control experience and allow ourselves to meet life as it unfolds. Through movement, touch and collective temple spaces, Laura invites people into experiences of presence, intimacy and non-duality, creating spaces where the unknown is not something to overcome, but something we can learn to inhabit together. She is part of the teaching faculty at the International School of Temple Arts (ISTA), and facilitates workshops, retreats, mentorships and individual work internationally and in Geneva, Switzerland.

Nicole Kruger
Trained as a child psychologist and working in the field of holistic well-being, Nici`s journey into sound healing began through a serendipitous discovery of the powerful resonance of the Alchemy Crystal Bowls, which awakened a lifelong passion to share the gift of resonant frequencies and soothing experience of this crystalline medicine with others to help connect deeply to their heart, essence, and beauty of sound. The alchemy bowls, made with pure quartz crystal and the finest gemstones and precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum, serve as potent tools for vibrational healing and cultivating awareness, helping us to reconnect to our inner creativity and playfulness. I`m fascinated by how they can invite us to create abundance, bring life force energy back into flow, help heal the emotional, physical and spiritual body and creating a heaven for wholeness. The deeply relaxing sound experiance of the bowls help us to integrate shifts on both subtle and profound levels. My mission is to serve as a vessel of pure vibration, weaving sound with subtle energy so we can return to the inner field where we remember our inherent wholeness.

THE HEALING TEAM
Sofiane Khouas
Hello, I’m Sofiane. I’m the Finder of the etherotherapy! The etherotherapy is a Cross technic between massage and Psychologie.
The massage part will remove old patterns, old trauma and stuck energy. The psychological part will serve to create a new space for what is stuck in the body. Throught my work I help people to get further in life to get new perspective on life. Like this new energy, better clarity and lightness feeling can enter in the body and open new ways. I hope to see you soon for making some magic.
Raquel C. Sanz Fontan
Yoga has been with me for over 20 years. As a qualified yoga teacher and complementary therapist in the yoga therapy method, I support people holistically. Yoga promotes mindfulness, health and quality of life – both professionally and privately.
Yoga therapy is a complementary medical method that combines the ancient knowledge of yoga with modern findings from medicine and psychology.
Complaints are not considered in isolation, but in connection with lifestyle, breathing, posture and mental alignment. The central idea is that every person has the ability to heal – yoga therapy helps to activate these resources. A key principle is mindfulness: conscious awareness and perception are prerequisites for initiating change.I am happy to support you in your self-regulation with yoga therapy during the festival.

Georgina is a shamanic tantric bodyworker, embodied wisdom mentor and group facilitator with 16 years of experience supporting sensitive beings to reconnect with their innate wisdom, freedom and joy through the body, emotions and lived experience.

She meets people gently where they are, supporting them to move through shadow, pain, fear or resistance, and creating spaces of deep, expansive stillness from which greater aliveness, connection and love can naturally emerge.
Stephan Fontana
My spiritual name is Neshant, which means sunrise or new beginning. These qualities deeply shape my work. I guide and support people through processes of transformation, letting go and reconnecting with their true essence.
With warmth, presence, clarity and a deep sensitivity for people, I create spaces where they can feel safe, seen and accepted. In these spaces, people can relax, let go and reconnect with themselves. From this place, a deeper connection to the body, emotions and heart can naturally emerge.
My work invites people to move from the mind back into feeling. It supports them in rediscovering their aliveness, sensuality and self connection. It opens the door to authentic encounters with themselves and others.
With mindfulness, slowness, intuition and a respectful grounded presence, I accompany people on their individual journey of growth, development and transformation.
I work as a Tantra Massage Teacher, Tantra Masseur, Bodyworker and Facilitator for personal growth and transformational processes.
