Tantric Dance & Corona protocol
To participate in our activities, you must submit a health statement to us before the start. The link to this online form will be sent by email after the event registration.
As a registerede dance school at Dansondernemers Nederland, we adhere to the regulations set out in the Basic Protocol for the Dance Sector document (Dutch). Furthermore, we adhere to the guidelines drawn up by the RIVM regarding COVID-19:
If keeping the 1.5 meter distance prevents normal dance practice, the 1.5 meter distance may be temporarily released while dancing.
Explanation
What is Tantric Dance?
A free dance form where there is one who leads (creates) the dance, and one who receives (surrenders) in the dance. The one who receives has the eyes closed and sharpens the other senses in order to be guided. It is playful interaction between two people that through dance become aware of their inner world and body.
I am new
What can I expect?
A tantric dance workshop starts with a warming-up to arrive fully in to your body and to let go of all tension. This is followed by the Tantric Dance in which we dance with somebody else. We invite you to let go of all dance moves you are used to and to dance with what is arising in contact with the other. There is one person who forms the dance and one who receives (without any initiative). These rolls will switch during the workshop.
The dance partners are brought together in two ways:
1) You are leading and you chose somebody who is blindfolded and with who you are going to dance. The other doesn’t know who you are.
2) You are blindfolded somebody will chose you to dance with. But you won’t know who it is.
The present teacher supports the change of danspartners and will give other guidance during the workshop. The Tantric Dance team creates a safe and loving setting.

Singles/Couples
Is it for singles or couples?
It is for both singles and couples, the majority are joining as singles.
It is possible for couples to dance only with each other.
Often couples mix together with singles and benefit from this.
Difficulty
Is it easy to learn?
It is very easy to learn since it doesn't require any special techniques to learn in order to start with it. Ofcourse any experience in dance can help, but it is a free dance and we encourage you not to go into repetions of something you already know, but use more of your free imagination and creativity.
The dance is a framework where many ways of dancing are possible, dancing experience is not required. Getting in touch with you own body, getting in tune with yourself and the other, and allowing yourself to enjoy the dance are key here.
Experience shows that each time it will become more easy and become more of a natural flow.
Safety
Is it safe enough for me?
Safety has a very high priority for us. That is why there are very clear ways to stop the dance at any time and clear boundaries in place for anyone to uphold.
There are always helpers closeby to give support or guidance when needed.
Tantric Dance helps in learning to set clear boundaries and honoring them, it is an important element.

MAGIC * INITIATION * EROS
Uniting sx and spirit by sacred sxuality
*
Hoe ervaar jij sx? Als iets gewoon voor het plezier? Als iets heiligs? Als iets heel belangrijks? Tijdens deze retraite onderzoeken we de magie, diepte en transformatie van 'sacred lovemaking'.
Hiermee bedoelen we niet perse p*netratie, maar ook de velden van eros als transformationele energetische ervaring. Dit is een diepe duik voor (tijdelijke) partners om je seksuele wortels (familielijn) schoon te maken en op te ruimen, initiaties en codes voor je seksualiteit te krijgen en het volledige potentieel van eros te leren en te belichamen.
Waar leren we echt over sx? Meestal zit sx verborgen achter de gordijnen en muren, en daar is veel schaamte over. Dus hoe kunnen we ons op deze manier echt ontwikkelen en groeien in onze heilige seksualiteit? We creëren deze retraite om seksualiteit uit de schaduw te halen en naar voren te brengen wat er leeft in onze seksualiteit.
Daardoor zul je een magisch veld van genezing ervaren dat zich opent, en je ziel straalt in je lichaam. We roepen eros op om alle oude trauma's, overtuigingen en vastzittende energie op te ruimen. We doen dit in krachtige, liefdevolle en gegronde tempelrituelen. Met dit woord ritueel bedoelen we dat de oefeningen een diepe betekenis hebben en veel verder gaan dan alleen het fysieke.
De bedoeling van deze retraite van 5 dagen is om het volledige potentieel van heilige seksualiteit en heilige eenheid voor jullie als koppel en innerlijke wereld te laten ontwaken.
Ook zullen we een dag werken met de mannen en vrouwen gescheiden om een veilige verbinding tussen de shiva's en de shakti's te creëren. Daarna zullen we ons verplaatsen in een heilig verenigingsritueel.
PROGRAMMA
* rituele setting
* veel dans / bewegingsoefening
* ademhalings- en klinkende oefeningen
* Tantrische dans
* Yoni en Lingham 'gazing'
* Yoni en Lingham healing
* Emodied kwetsbaar 'sharen'
* Schaduwwerk
* groepen mannen en vrouwen
* Tantrische massage & tantrische aanraking
* de kunst van het heilige vrijen
* constellatierituelen
Dit is GEEN retreat voor beginners. Je moet enige ervaring hebben met tantra of heilige seksualiteit voordat je dit evenement bijwoont. In dit geval zal er sprake zijn van naaktheid en optioneel sxualiteit. De oefeningen zijn ALLEEN met uw eigen partner.
BEGELEIDERS

*** English***
How do you experience sx? As something just for pleasure? As something sacred? As something very important?
During this retreat we are exploring the magic, depth and transformation of sacred lovemaking.
In this we don't mean perse p*netration, but also the fields of eros as transformational energetic experience.
This is a deep dive for (temportal) partners to clean and clear your sxual roots (familiy line), get initiations and codes to your sxuality and learn and embody the full potential of eros.
*
Where do we really learn about sx? Mostly sx is hidden behind the curtains and walls, and there is a lot of shame talking about this. So how can we really develop and grow in our sacred sxuality this way?
We create this retreat to get sxuality out of the shadows, and bring forth, what is alive in our sxuality. Get the shadow out of the shadow.
By that you will experience a magical field of healing opening up, and your soul shining in your body.
*
We call in eros to clean and clear all old trauma, belief systems and stucked energy.
We do this in strong, loving and grounded temple ritals. With this word ritual we mean that the excercises have a profound meaning and go far beyond just the physical.
The intention for this 5 day retreat, is to awaken the full potential of sacred sxuality and sacred union for you as a couple and inner world.
Also we will work for one day with the men and women separate to create a safe field of connection between the shiva's and the shakti's. After that we will move in a sacred union ritual.

Different Dance Styles (Esther)
Pure lifeforce (Esther)
My deepest desire is for my life energy to flow completely. Everything in me vibrates, participates: my body, my soul, my spirit.
Read more Five Tantric Dance tips (Elfriede)
I have been giving Tantric Dance workshops with love for a number of years now, and I notice that there are a number of things that stand out in my mind. These 5 tips follow from this: "Center" yourself, breathe, Be light in receiving, Let your body take over, Let everything be there.
Read more Not feeling alone (Esther)
I felt love and compassion for her. Titia's eyes lit up, visibly happy and touched. We shared how we used to be at home: when we said what we felt, it was usually said, "It is not so." People always talked about things. We were left confused, because what we really felt was not so. And that which was there: the anger, the sorrow, the powerlessness and the discontent were never spoken.
Read more Dark & Light (Elfriede)
Tantric Dance is not just about "having fun". The approach is not to be entertained alone or purely 'for fun'. It goes much further than that. It is a lot deeper. Tantric Dance invites us to dance with what is there.
Read more Kundalini Energy (Rakesh)
At Art of Loving we prefer to stick to the actual experience of Kundalini Energy. There is a lot of literature about Kundalini and also various theories that each highlight a different side. During our workshops we return to the experience in the body. This allows you to come into contact with your body and the energy, develop your own sensitivity and attention to get in touch with what is happening in you.
