Imagine a tantrik space that pops up for one day.
Where practitioners come to taste the magic of what is possible when you explore the deeper arts of tantra that increase your health, happiness and overall wellbeing in all areas of your life.
THE SECRETS OF THE LOWER GATES
A rare Tantrik immersion into one of the least taught embodied arts of the tantrik traditions.
🗓️ Sunday 16 August
🕘 9:00–13:00
Hosted by PT Temple Village - Facilitated by Temple of Radiance.
❤️ For Singles & Couples who feel the pull toward deeper initiation of tantra.
There is a version of you…
…who wakes up excited to be alive.
Who moves through life feeling deeply connected to their body.
Who carries a quiet confidence that doesn’t need to prove itself.
Who knows how to return to presence, even in a world that constantly asks for more.
👉 Imagine taking an entire day just for yourself…
Stepping away from the endless to-do lists, the notifications and the busyness of everyday life. A day where your only job is to breathe and feel and reconnect to yourself and remember that life isn’t something to get through…
It’s something to experience.
Imagine discovering a practice so simple, yet so profound, that it completely transforms the relationship you have with your own body.Where you’ll understand why the ancient Tantriks saw the body not as something to overcome… But as one of the greatest gateways into aliveness, intimacy and higher states of consciousness.
If something inside you has been quietly whispering,
“I know there is more possible…”
This is for you.
Why the Lower Gates?
Here’s something many people don’t know.
The Lower Gates are part of the teachings that are least taught in today’s tantra.
In fact, after years of practising on this path ourselves…
We can honestly say we know very few teachers who transmit these teachings in an embodied, practical and deeply respectful way.
That doesn’t mean these practices are complicated; they are actually quite simple, AND very powerful. So much that the secret of the lower gates changes far more than intimacy.
They change your relationship with energy, your body and your connection to the universe itself.
A secret that almost disappeared.
In the ancient land of India, men & women were dedicated to worship.
They moved through ceremonies to safeguard secret teachings that were carried with them for life. These men & women learned specific rituals and initiations and became gatekeepers of one of the most powerful art forms.
A knowledge that held the power to open the heart, awaken the body, and elevate connection into something sacred. They were initiated into the arts of the sutras not as something to learn, but as something to become.
But over time, these eros arts were shamed, misunderstood, and pushed into the shadows.
Many people today feel judgment or guilt around this energy… the very energy that is meant to move freely through them.
The energy that you and I were both born from.
And with that… humanity lost touch with one of its most vital forces.
The tantriks of the previous ages had access to this.
Now, these teachings are re-emerging, and you are invited to step into them. ✨
Imagine leaving this immersion…
❤️ Catching your reflection in the mirror the next morning and noticing… there’s something magnetic about the way you carry yourself.
❤️ Feeling that familiar flutter in your body long before intimacy begins… simply because you’ve learned how to awaken yourself.
❤️ Smiling to yourself because something that once felt mysterious now feels beautifully natural.
❤️ Feeling your body respond to touch in a way you didn’t know was possible.
❤️ Realising that the deepest intimacy you’ve discovered… begins with yourself.
❤️ Walking through your day with a quiet smile because you can feel your body buzzing with aliveness for no particular reason.
❤️ Looking into your lover’s eyes and quietly realising, “I can’t believe our intimacy just became even deeper.”
❤️ Discovering that the practices don’t stay in the workshop… They quietly become part of the way you live.
❤️ Standing barefoot in the morning sun and realising you’ve stopped rushing through the beginning of your day.
❤️ Leaving with a handful of practices that you’ll still be returning to years from now.
❤️ Becoming part of a community of men and women who have chosen to experience life a little differently.
Who are the Facilitators?
This event is hosted by PT Temple Village and facilitated by world-renowned Tantra Facilitator Arja Hendrikx & her partner Mikkail Handby, lead facilitators of Temple of Radiance.
With over 16 years on the tantrik path and thousands of students worldwide, Arja is known for guiding people into the deepest layers of embodied intimacy, energetic awareness, and spiritual devotion. Her teachings weave the Radiance Sutras, the essence of traditional tantra and modern embodiment into a transmission that is both mystical, practical and grounded.
Participants consistently describe her work as transformational, unforgettable, and unlike anything they’ve experienced before.
Her partner Mikkail Handby is recognised for his grounded men’s work, strong masculine presence, and clear, steady facilitation style.
With years of experience working with men, Mikkail brings a rare balance of depth, humility, and leadership into the space. His work supports men in reconnecting to integrity, emotional honesty, and the kind of grounded masculine presence that allows intimacy to truly deepen.
Together, Arja and Mikkail create a field where the feminine and masculine can meet in a way that is both powerful and deeply empowering, allowing participants to explore connection in a way that feels real, embodied, and transformative.
After facilitating for hundreds across Europe, Arja & Mikkail are opening a highly intimate space for a select group.
This is not a large-scale event.
For couples who feel called to step into this together, we have special couple tickets available, allowing you to deepen both individually & as a couple within the space.

A carefully guided immersion into one of Tantra’s least taught embodied arts.
Practical rituals that transform your relationship with your body.
Ancient teachings translated into modern life.
