Evenement type
In tantra we tend to tune into what’s alive in the present moment. That’s already a spiritual practice you could dedicate a lifetime to, let alone just an evening. Yet we will try to take it a few steps further.. from noticing energy to moving it within us, to moving it together each other.. Finally we will explore playing with energetic touch.
Within this workshop you can explore different flavors and intensities. Energetic touch can be deeply relaxing, healing, sensitive, playful and possibly intimate or even erotic as well. As with every Tantric Moments event our clothes will be staying on and we will not go into any form of sexual expression, however the tools we use could be transferred into energy sex or tantric sex outside of the workshop. This is not the focus of the workshop, just one of many possibilities.
To be extra clear; this is not a workshop for couples only and you’re very welcome to come by yourself. But if you do wish to explore the more intimate possibilities of the practices, it could be fun to bring somebody that you already feel safe to share this with.
Sometimes there’s an emphasis on hetero-normativity in tantra (especially when it comes to energy work and polarity play). I would therefore like to underscore that this workshop is for everyone, of all genders, orientations and backgrounds, as are all of our workshops. You are very welcome to contact me if you have any questions, concerns or access needs.
Will you come explore? Please carefully read the guidelines ↧
With Love,
Nectar

GUIDELINES
By joining this workshop you agree to respect and uphold the following guidelines (if you have questions or concerns about some of them, there will be space to adress that):
PRIVACY
“What happens in the tantra workshop, stays in the tantra workshop”. Not exactly but we do ask you to be mindful about sharing about your experiences with others. You may share about only yourself and your experience and not about others you’ve witnessed in the workshop. Not by name or any other way that others may recognize or infer their identity.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF
Every instruction is a suggestion. You are your own boss. You are responsible to be aware of and express your boundaries. You will be invited to feel into what your needs and boundaries are and receive tools to care for your boundaries.
When others have needs or are moved somehow, we allow them the opportunity to care for their own need. We do not need to rescue anybody else.
SAFETY & CONSENT
You take care of your own sense of safety. We will offer different tool to make this very accessible (like the time out space, available support and the traffic light system).
We ask for consent before going into touch or intimate interaction. We respect consent and the fact that anybody can always change their minds.
FREEDOM
You are on your own journey. We explore and experiment with behaviours and experiences that can be out of our comfort zones or outside the scope of out usual patterns. This can be vulnerable. So we want to invite and celebrate the freedom to try out something new without it having a lot of meaning about who you are.
This also transfers to making intimate connections in the workshop. When stepping out of your patterns and into vulnerability and authenticity, connections made in the workshop can feel intimate. We want to invite you to take in the experiences as just a part of your own journey and go into stories about the meaning of a connection.
TANTRIC MOMENTS YOUNG GENERAL TEXT
An evening to connect, first of all with yourself.
We explore together how we relate to life. For this, we use experiential exercises, where the orientation is on the physical body, the emotions, the mind and the spiritual experience. The exercises help, through reflection, to bring insight and awareness to areas where you may not know yourself that well. This awareness and the loving presence to your own and each other’s experience often make healing possible.
This Western form of tantra that we practice is also called being-oriented tantra. The threshold of this style is safe and accessible. We stay clothed and there is no focus on expressing sexual energy. We bring our attention to the awareness of and the vitality of our own experience.
Where tantra in many styles seems to focus on the (sexual) dynamics and interaction between different sexes, Tantric Moments for us is much more about uniting opposite (polar) aspects in yourself. We use the interaction with the other as a mirror to give insight into that.
About 80% of the participants come independently. If you are not comfortable working with strangers, you can bring someone with whom you feel safe and comfortable. This partner does not have to be your love partner and sexual orientation usually does not matter. What is important is that you have the intention to support each other lovingly and get to know each other better.
Prior experience is not needed. You may bring a partner to practice with but it’s not needed. All genders, orientations and backgrounds are welcome. We aim to be as inclusive as possible. If you have specific access needs, please reach out. If you’re motivated to practice but money is an issue, please reach out.
We are looking forward to sharing a Tantric Moments with you,
The Tantric Moments Young Team
