Empowering Tantra Days

[Nederlandse vertaling beneden]

Updates may come any moments :)

Most people who have experienced tantra already know its positive, empowering, healing and liberating effects. In these difficult times for nature and humanity, like never before, we need solutions as tantra to be spread into wider groups of society.

How to get there? Why is it like it is now? Could we do more? How we can live better? How we can build a happy and save future full of love for all of us? Could we do things together? What? A tantra festival in Amsterdam? What about creating community? What about building and living in a conscious commune? What about Men and Women circles? How could we achieve our dreams? How to live together? How to help each other? Those and other questions, we will discuss during Empowering Tantra Days. We will provide the workshops, discussions and events that will not only empower us but also bring us together. In that way I believe we could do much more. Join the Tantra Movement. Together we are stronger! Are you in?

Saturday 8th November

Love yourself workshop 20.30-23.30 - WG-terrein, Ketelhuisplein 41 Amsterdam - 25 Euro per person, 45 E per couple


Loving ourselves is the foundation of real love, when we love ourselves, we can truly love others. When we feel good about our self, we will have the self esteem needed to act in love towards another being. To truly love ourselves may increase the chance of amplifying love shared with our partners, family, animals, nature, whole planet and entire universe. So how you may notice, it have nothing to do with selfishness but rather with expanding love in healthy way...

Sunday 9th nov

Introduction to Tantric Massage workshop - 15.30-19.30 - Il Cielo Oostzaanstraat 46 Amsterdam - 45 E per person, 85 E per couple. This workshop is starting Tantric Massage course, what would include 7 workshops. The price may change depends from the amount of participants. etc. Amount of the people at that moment is up to 8, so to make sure better to book your place quickly.

The workshop is composed in such a way that you can get the best of it, that you could learn and feel what sacred touch is, that would make you allow the healing energy of love into your body and life.

Mastering the art of giving and receiving tantric massage is opening us on many levels:
- Helps us recover energy
- Teaches us sacred touch
- Raises awareness of the body
- Is a great introduction to tantric sex
- Develops our potential of love

It is not possible to mention all of the benefits gained from tantric massage, but first of all it is an experience of deep inner joy, bliss, cleansing, peace and ecstasy. It is the experience of being whole.

We will mainly focus on the feelings in the body and not only on the techniques. First of all, we want to ensure that participants will experience the touch, that they will open up for receiving and giving on the body level, that they will open up for fully feeling the pleasure of being a giver and a receiver of a massage.

We want to go deep into the levels of feeling pleasure, bliss, and the flow of love energy. We want to let go and release all the tension from our bodies, to let it go and open up for more space where, there were previously blockades, and allow a stronger flow of life energy.

Dance with Tantra workshop - 20.30-23.30 WG-terrein, Ketelhuisplein 41 Amsterdam
25 Euro per person, 45 E per couple

Like from all my invitations, you may already learn and experience something very useful from them. But only when you would read it also with your heart and follow with your body... only when you use it, not loose it :)

There are few passions in my life. One of course is tantra, so being love making love, giving and receiving love. The other passion is dancing, what is very connected to tantra. like making love, massage ( my other passion ) and dancing is best if I let my mind off. This is not time for thinking. It is time for feeling. To fall in dance, to follow the sound or even become a sound, to unite with the music. Being tuned as instrument fully harmonised with the music. Here and now. Letting go all your thoughts.When we are able to be in that state there is more space for our heart, for our body. Then is easier for the connection. Deepening in to ourselves... in to the others

This is my journey what I would like to share at this workshop with you. To get more connected we will use some tantric methods like shaking of the stress, dancing with the blindfolds, different music and movements activating different glands, hormones and different chakras. We will use various touches and approaches. We will awake ecstatic dance in you :)

[Nederlandse vertaling]
Empowering Tantra Dagen

De meeste mensen die tantra hebben ervaren weten al van de positieve, empowering, genezende en bevrijdende effecten. In deze moeilijke tijden voor de natuur en mensheid, als nooit tevoren, moeten we oplossingen zoals tantra in grotere groepen van de maatschappij verspreiden.

Hoe komen we daar? Waarom is het zoals het nu is? Kunnen we meer doen? Hoe kunnen we beter leven? Hoe kunnen we een gelukkige en veilige toekomst vol liefde voor ons allemaal opbouwen? Kunnen we dingen samen doen? Wat dan? Een tantra festival in Amsterdam? Hoe zit het met community creëren? Hoe zit het met het bouwen van en leven in bewuste communes? Hoe kunnen we onze dromen bereiken? Hoe kunnen we samen leven? Hoe kunnen we elkaar helpen? Deze en andere vragen zullen we bespreken tijdens de Empowering Tantra Days. Wij zullen workshops, discussies en evenementen verzorgen die ons niet alleen meer kracht zullen geven, maar ons ook samen zullen brengen. Op die manier geloof ik dat we veel meer kunnen doen. Sluit je aan bij de Tantra Movement. Samen zijn we sterker! Doe je mee?

Dit is het plan voor nu:

Zaterdag 8de November

Love yourself workshop 20.30-23.30 - WG-terrein, Ketelhuisplein 41 Amsterdam - 25 Euro per person, 45 E per couple


Liefde hebben voor onszelf is de basis van echte liefde, wanneer we van onszelf houden, kunnen we pas echt van anderen houden. Wanneer we ons goed voelen over onszelf, zullen we het zelfvertrouwen hebben dat nodig is om in liefde naar anderen te handelen.
Om echt van onszelf te houden zal de liefde vergroten met onze partners, familie, dieren, natuur, de planeet en het hele universum.
Het heeft niets te maken met egoïsme, maar juist met de expansie van liefde op een gezonde manier.

Dans met Tantra workshop - 20.30-23.30 WG-terrein, Ketelhuisplein 41 Amsterdam
25 Euro per persoon, 45 E per paar

Zoals van al mijn uitnodigingen, kun je alvast iets heel nuttigs ervan leren en ervaren. Maar alleen wanneer je het ook met je hart leest en met je lichaam volgt… alleen wanneer je het gebruikt, niet verliest :)

Er zijn enkele passies in mijn leven. Eén daarvan is natuurlijk tantra, dus liefde zijn, liefde bedrijven, liefde geven en ontvangen. De andere passie is dansen, wat zeer verbonden is met tantra. Net zoals bij liefde bedrijven, massage (mijn andere passie) en dansen is het beste om mijn geest te laten gaan. Dit is geen tijd voor denken. Het is tijd voor voelen. Om in dans te vallen, het geluid te volgen of zelfs een geluid te worden, te verenigen met de muziek. Gestemd zijn als een instrument volledig geharmoniseerd met de muziek. Hier en nu. Al je gedachten laten gaan. Wanneer we in staat zijn om in die toestand te zijn is er meer ruimte voor ons hart, voor ons lichaam. Dan is de verbinding makkelijker. Verdieping in onszelf… in de anderen.

Dit is mijn reis die ik met jullie wil delen in deze workshop. Om meer verbonden te raken zullen we sommige tantrische methoden gebruiken zoals het afschudden van de stress, dansen met blinddoeken om, verschillende muziek en bewegingen die verschillende klieren, hormonen en chakras activeren. We zullen verscheidene aanrakingen en benaderingen gebruiken. We zullen ecstatische dans in jou ontwaken :)
