The Founder and Pioneer
Armin Heining
was born in 1960 and graduated in theology, pedagogics and non-medical practitioner. He regards himself as being a monk and traveler on spiritual paths, a teacher and student all in one.
Monastic Time
As Benedictine monk (Brother Christoph) Armin came into contact with the contemplative path of Christian meditation in 1983 and learned this under the guidance of recognized teachers for some ten years. He transformed this practice later into the contemplative tradition of Tantra, called 'Mahamudra', and is still practicing and teaching this on a regular base to this day.
Tantra Training
After leaving the monastery, Armin turned to SkyDancing-Tantra®. This "neospiritual" path was developed in the eighties by Margot Anand Naslednikov as a modern approach to an old spiritual tradition. Armin became a licensed teacher and applied this path to the sphere of gay men and all men who love all kinds of men.
Career and Professional Scope
Armin has been teaching in Germany and abroad since 1992 and is today an internationally acclaimed coach and trainer. Most of his seminars are frequented by men who want to try something new and deepen their sexuality, or who seek to connect (homo)sexuality, love, compassion and forgiveness, intimacy and spirituality.
Armin offers seminars and trainings. He also gives tantric individual sessions (breathwork, bodywork and gay massages), therapeutic sessions of CranioSacral- and Visceral Therapy and relaxation in body-temperature water (aqua tantra).
Essence of Teachings
Armin says: 'Mahamudra leads to the most intimate way of being with yourself. And the tantric energy cycles lead to the most intimate way of being with your partner.'
Engagements
The seminar instructor is also executive on the board of Charity Sexuality & Spirituality in Germany and author of various articles (book: "HomoSexuality & Spirituality", Nuremberg 2005) and presentation director of eleven sexual eductional DVDs (as of 10-2015).
Life Motto
Armin's manner can be summed up as clear and decisive: Without wanting to convert anyone or put him under pressure, he knows how to act and speak out of his inner convictions. His life motto: Be connected with the inner depth, be playful and at ease in the here and now.
