Groups give me the room to apply myself absolutely and completely. Through leading groups, I have learned that I can make love flow right through me.

I can share this wonderful experience with my groups and also with you. I have developped Gay Love Spirit and related methods in various training courses and seminars, and have come to value and love this body of knowledge. This learning process includes Lotus-Tantra as taught by Jovana Wex, a two-year Tantra training course (Orgodynamik) with Bodhi Ebermann, a three-year Encounter training course at the HUMANIVERSTIY university in Egmond an Zee (Holland) with Premdip M. Simon and Aamod W. Schwade, Souling with Martin Siems, Bodyelectric at Bodyelectric Europe and Five Rhythms with Gabrielle Roth.

2008-2010 Supervision in Family Constellation with Ramateertha Doetsch; 2009-2010 Training in Counselling for Couples  with Samarona Buunk.

Since 1997 I have led gay Tantra workshops. In my day-job, I am a PR-consultant.
I was born in 1964.

Marc „ThunderSong“ Hagmaier is a trained Voice-, Breath- and Speechteacher, who also took singing Masterclasses with Peter Elkus in Amsterdam and Hamburg; his emotional-based singing method influenced his way of working with voice and expression very much. Ever since he was looking for a way to use voice as a „healing instrument“ and he began experimenting with different kinds of overtone chanting and other ways of using the voice in an unconventional way. In 2001 he did a Sound-Healers-Training with Tom Kenyon, which added some new techniques and more confidence to his work as a Soundhealer. Since 1998 he walks the shamanic path in the tradition of the Black Bear lineage. He integrated shamanic healing techniques and meditations into his life and his work, for which he is very grateful, because it brought more intensity and joy into both. He works in his own practice in Karlsruhe and gives individual healing sessions and workshops. Born 1971
