A more intimate relationship in 3 hours

Our private Tantra workshop for couples is for all lovers who are interested in learning simple but powerful practices for more intimacy and sexual energy into their relationship. 

All genders and ages (20 years & up) are equally welcome. Love is love.

You don’t need to have had a relationship for years to book this private Tantra session with us. Maybe you’d like to start your new relationship with more truth and depth straightaway: what a great idea!

If you have been together for a couple of years (or decades?) already, Tantra gives you the tools to meet each other again in a new, fresh way. 

You do not need to have experience with Tantra or any other spiritual path. Just bring your friendly curiosity. We’ll make sure that everything else is arranged for.

If you already have experience with the path of Tantra, you are welcome to use this private session to further deepen your practice. Please send us an email, if you have specific requests or questions: (first name Tantra guide) @avondvolaandacht.nl 

I don’t know how you will experience Tantra. But I can tell you about my own experience. 

I certainly had this question in mind. Tantra is a spiritual path, after all. At university I learned to think scientifically. I was quite suspicious about any spiritual path at first, since I don’t like to have to ‘believe’ things. 

When I discovered Tantra, I was amazed to find that science and Tantra are quite similar, on a deep level. 

As Tantric students, we like to call ourselves explorers. Like scientists, we throw ourselves into an experiment, and try to be curious and open to any outcome. In the case of Tantra, this means: to whatever we experience. 

Indeed Tantric practices ARE very opening and sometimes feel truly spiritual. Many times, I have experienced deep states of  connectedness. I have seen and guided many other people in similar states. Also within the short timeframe of our 3 hr private Tantra workshops. 

So yes; Tantra is spiritual. But we, human beings, are deeply spiritual beings. Even if we weren’t raised like that. The crazy thing is: a lot of scientists, in the process of discovering the true nature of reality, experience deep spiritual states as well.

In Tantra, it is believed that heaven is to be experienced here: on earth.

Tantric practices help us relax and open up, releasing tensed energy. When the energy starts to flow again, we practice to stay curious and present – and feel how it energises (parts of) your body till it starts to tinkle or becomes warm and alive. This can feel truly divine, and at the same time very earthly and natural.

What makes me weary of some spiritual communities, is that I sometimes sense a pressure to think like the teachers or group leaders do. This is opposite to what we teach in Tantra. We like to approach every idea or vision as a hypothesis. It might prove true to you, but only after you have experienced it yourself. 

I think this is the reason why so many intelligent people are drawn to Tantra. Like you and me, of course;-)

Yes please; come as you are. There is a good chance that we can help you shine a little light on how to navigate the differences between you – and how to allow the love between you (that is always there!) to shine more brightly. 

All women of our team are experienced trainers – and next to that work as a psychologist or a therapist. We’ve all done our own work, and keep learning. So please don’t feel afraid to show us how your relationship is hurting you. Ours hurt too, sometimes. 

I know from my own experience that at these times, reaching out for help is not always easy. My first inclination always is to hide my heartbreak and try to figure it out alone. 

Fortunately I found great people on my path, who support me to create a healthy, happy and ever deepening relationship with Jeroen (since 2004). If you would have met us in the years before we started practicing Tantra, I’m sure you would not have thought that possible!  

When you feel unhappy in your relationship, it colours your whole world. Everything becomes a bit less bright. So yes: it’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s also very worthwhile to learn about relating and sexuality. (And often a lot of fun as well!)

Tantra is much about relaxing. And relaxing might turn easily into sleeping or drifting off, if you are really tired. So, we actually recommend to book your Tantra workshop for couples during daylight. In the evenings, our bodies unwind and prepare for sleep. In the mornings and afternoons we usually have more energy, so we more naturally stay awake, present and connected.

Also if you’ve crashed straight out of a few hectic weeks full of deadlines into your Amsterdam weekend, please plan your  session on the second or third day of your trip. Take the first day to sleep, rest and relax, so you’ll get the most out of it.  

If you do have a bit of energy, I recommend to plan your Tantra session at the beginning of your holiday. It will not only deepen the contact with yourself and your lover, but  also the contact you experience with the world around you. You might find yourself enjoying it all a bit deeper, more fully. 

Please plan ahead. Often we are fully booked for many weeks in advance. Please feel free to contact us if you just can’t find a match between your agenda and ours. Please mail us at: (first name of team member) @ AvondvolAandacht.nl
