Overview

Founded in September 2024 in Marnes, Spain, Connective Tantra School is a premier institution established by the married couple Dr. Peter Aelbrecht, a medical doctor with 32 years of experience and author of the international bestseller Homo Energeticus, and Mónica Peña Fernandez, an intuitive Tantra facilitator.

The school's unique mission is to demystify Tantra, translating its ancient concepts into a practical, science-backed language that resonates with a Western audience. We ground spiritual practices in modern psychology, biology, and bodywork—for instance, explaining concepts like Shiva and Shakti through the tangible science of hormonal cycles. This creates a uniquely safe, professional, and judgment-free environment for individuals and couples to explore connection, intimacy, and personal growth.

While their new, sustainably-built retreat center is set to open in mid-2026, their workshops and highly sought-after private sessions are already attracting a dedicated international following.

Thought Leadership: Dr. Peter Aelbrecht

With over 30 years in holistic medicine and 20 years studying Tantra, Dr. Aelbrecht is uniquely positioned to speak with authority on topics that bridge science and spirituality.

• The Doctor Who Prescribes Tantra: How his background as a medical doctor allows him to demystify ancient practices, making them credible and accessible for a modern, skeptical audience.
• Burnout as an Energy Crisis: Applying principles from his international bestseller, Homo Energeticus, to address contemporary epidemics of stress and burnout as a fundamental loss of life force.
• Rational Spirituality for High-Performers: Why CEOs, doctors, and professionals are flocking to Tantra to find balance, resilience, and heart-centered leadership.

My goal for the rest of my life is to be a tantra facilitator. I want the fact that I'm a doctor and that I'm a writer to be used as a marketing tool for my tantra school.
