In this workshop, you’ll explore essential themes of Tantra, such as the principle of male and female polarity, the source of eros, our life force. Tantra offers an “energetic” approach to life by focusing on embracing the life force that flows within.
Thanks to the energetic approach that Tantra applies, you can relax into who you are, embrace your sexuality, your emotions, and so-called challenges in relationships. When these are experienced as expressions of energy rather than obstacles, they become resources for becoming natural, present, and centered within ourselves.
Opening up to Tantra is an exploration of the the life force in us. You will be accompanied into a more authentic connection with yourself and others. It is a transformational group; when you deeply dive into the realms of Tantra, you can simultaneously celebrate what is essential in you.
MALE/FEMALE POLARITY
In order to have more fluid intimate relationships, Tantra teaches us to start with ourselves. That is, to begin with an inner relationship with our opposite gender, man or woman, who already exists within us.
You’ll will explore how the male and female polarity affects our lives, in all areas where the relationship is involved: with friends, partners, family, work etc. Get acquainted with your inner opposite gender.
EMOTIONS
We’ll explore the roots of our emotions and conflicts from a tantric perspective.
We are often limited when dealing with the emotional aspect of our Life force. Our survival strategies often lead to frustration, separation, suffering, and pain. We will therefore explore the realm around emotions from a Tantra Approach; the energetic aspect. We learn to take responsibility and this gives us more freedom, brings healing and connects us with our source, which brings us a sense of freedom, joy and vitality.
EROS, DESIRE, FALLING IN LOVE
Tantra teaches us that the Inner Source of Joy is within us. Continuously, we look outside to feel complete, whole, fulfilled. This is what happens when we fall in love. When we directly experience that the source of Joy is within us, we can begin to move more freely and feel less dependent on someone outside and we can begin to build more mature love-relationships.
In the same way we are freer in sexuality, we come back to ourselves and begin to get out of the anxiety to perform or pretend. Desire is closely related to eros. We will take a closer look at this aspect and bring more awareness to the difference between desire and Eros.
Tantra is about having balance between the male and the female aspect within us. This is essential to start breaking out of the “trap” in which we are caught when we fall in love.
THE BODY
In Tantra the body is seen as a temple. It is through the body that we can become aware / conscious. It is in the body that we come into contact with our sensitivity and sensuality. This facilitates the connection with our Inner Source.

Through body-work, movement, dance and breath exercises you will expand your awareness of your body and energy system.

“One day you will be mature enough to recognize your own woman or your own man. And that day is the day of great celebration, because you are free from the other. You have found the other within yourself; now there is no need to be dependent on anyone. The man is free, the woman is free — and this does not mean that you cannot love, you cannot have friends on the outside. In fact, now you can very easily have very smooth-going friendships, very beautiful love affairs, because it is no more a necessity for you. As far as you are concerned, you are fulfilled. Now it is not a need such that you have to be dependent.” OSHO, Sermons in Stones
