Dive Deeply into Tantric Touch
Book your follow up Tantra workshop for couples
Explore the magic world of Touch together, in your second private Tantra workshop.
A pleasant and well attuned touch can be deeply connecting and relaxing. It opens for us the possibility of surrender: a state in which you relax completely while you stay aware. In this conscious openness, a lot of energy may start to flow.
I believe we all long for this wonderful state of being, in which you will feel deeply connected with yourself and others.
There may also be all kinds of good reasons why you may not always experience this magic possibility of touch. Because touch can also feel automatic, fleeting or absent-minded. Or sometimes, it may be non-existent in your relationship for a while.
How do you stay present – even when a lot of energy flows through you? And: does anything actually happen if you both relax, and no one is doing his or her best?
Maintenance feels good
Jeroen and I have been lucky to have learned from our teachers for many years. At the time, we didn’t have children yet. That made us as free as a bird. Now we wouldn’t be able to do that together anymore; because of our family and our flourishing businesses. And that is exactly why we started Avond vol Aandacht. We take you on a connecting adventure, at your own time. We often hear that those 3 hours with one of us feel like a holiday. Hopefully that was also your experience, when you were with us for your first Tantra workshop.
Whether you have managed to keep your practice alive at home or not: you are very welcome again. If you have been in a wonderful flow since your last workshop, we can help you enjoy it even more. An important skill in this fast-paced world, because we are sometimes inclined to take ‘good’ for granted, and quickly move on to the next thing on our to do list.
And we are also there for you, if the connection between you feels thin or itchy. Our counselors are all highly experienced therapists, coaches or psychologists. We will guide you firmly and lovingly to a contact in which you can see each other with fresh eyes again. The whole world looks brighter, when the love between you flows freely.
Who will be your Tantra guide?
Below you’ll find our team of Tantra guides, each with her own talent and focus. We all have a shipload of experience and a great love of touch. Maybe you want to book your second session with the same guide you had before. Or with someone else? Each session will be unique. Upon booking your session, please indicate it’s your second (or third etc.), so we can prepare accordingly.
Martine | The Power of Touch
‘Touch changes the chemistry in your body, and therefore it also changes the contact you experience with yourself and your partner. Embark on this adventure and you’ll end up in a more fluent flow and a deeper connection. I offer you concrete tools that support this; even if there are blockages. Touch has stolen my heart and my soul, and I would like to take you with me!’ Martine’s sessions take place in Amsterdam.
Irene | Melting Together
‘As a haptotherapist, I teach you to connect with your body through touch. This way you’ll learn to feel your boundaries and to recognise and express your emotions. In a Tantric setting, touch invites you to let go and melt. Sometimes the boundary between giving and receiving disappears. A Tantric massage is like a slow, sensual dance where there is space for all your feelings. To me, this feels like coming home.’ In Amelisweerd (close to Utrecht)
Laura | Desires and Boundaries
‘To me, touch is a way to connect deeply to my body and enjoy its sensitivity. On the condition that I can touch and be touched in a way that is really attuned to me and my partner. Often enough, there are assumptions or expectations that put pressure on touch, or create insecurities. Then it becomes difficult to relax and enjoy the wonderful sensations. I will take you along in playful and light-hearted practice in attunement, desires and boundaries.’ Laura teaches in Amsterdam.
Adinda | Safety and Connection
‘Touch is a basic necessity of life. It connects, relaxes and creates space. As a mother of two young children, I experience this every day. As a trauma therapist, I also pay attention to what gets in the way of touch; fears or unpleasant memories. If they exist, I’ll help you to acknowledge these blockages, instead of projecting them onto your partner. As a result, you can ultimately experience touch as safe, connecting and innocent again.’ Near Zutphen, with a possibility to stay overnight.
Marije | Relaxing into Touch
‘I really love the Tantric hypothesis that the more you relax, the more energy will start to flow trough you. Automatically, without even trying. In this session you will explore this possibility together. Sometimes, in longer relationships, I see that touch has become burdened. With experiences of rejection, unfulfilled desires, clumsiness, disharmony… Sometimes this creates a lot of tension in touch, or it ultimately feels more comfortable to avoid it at all. Relaxing together in touch works wonders.’ In Amsterdam.
Minie | Opening up to Each Other
‘In attuned touch your system relaxes, your heart opens up and your soul emerges.’ As a trauma therapist, Minie is equipped to support you in staying present. Here, in this very moment. Because here is where you can experience touch as healing, connecting and opening. Minie teaches in Leeuwarden.

What participants say
“We had no idea what we were getting into, and it was great.
So much gentleness, compassion and sincere attention.
Our energy is flowing again and at the same time it gives a lot of peace.'
'Of course I expected to learn something new,
but this exceeded all my expectations.
It helped me to connect many dots in my life.'
To use a cliche metaphor:
it felt like a warm bath.'
"Thank God you weren't a goat wool sock type and you really managed to touch my husband because of that."
Our communication is more transparent.
We dare to say more to each other.'
Dear Martine,
What a beautiful afternoon we had with you!
It offered us the tools for a deeper connection, which we hoped to find.
It was accessible, relaxed, safe and above all healing.'
'It is very special to be so involved with your body and your feelings together.
What depth and information that gives you.'
"As I said, I was 'persuaded',
but I don't regret that at all!'
An Avond vol Aandacht is a very nice
and accessible way
to get acquainted with Tantra.”
‘It started off nicely with the preparatory emails we received.
Because of this alone there was more attention and standing still;
with our wishes in the relationship and for ourselves.”
'At one point I felt together as one:
a deep feeling.'
'The afternoon with Marije was wonderful
and has shown us that there are many more layers to discover
in our intimate relationship.'
“I am very happy that I gave myself this deepening,
connecting experience.'
'I came closer to my own feelings
and experienced more connection with my partner.'
“For us it was a moment of intense intimacy without any frills.
A good counterpart to the automatic pilot that we are all so strong in.'
'You have guided us nicely in our first step on this road:
warm, knowledgeable and firm.'
'So special to experience the difference between entering and leaving.
That real contact, the love and energy that flows... Delightful!'
'We now make a much more conscious choice
about what we're going to do with the time we have together.'
'Nog grote dank voor onze Avond vol Aandacht sessie. Het heeft Anna en mij enorm veel gebracht. Het is heerlijk om te voelen (en wat goed dat we nu ook nog eens heel hip zijn 😀). Ik voer het zelf ook door naar werk, werkrelaties en vrienden... en wat zijn de reacties daarop weer mooi. Je wilt niet weten hoe vaak ik je podcast al heb doorgestuurd.'
Listen to our podcast about the wellness of Tantra
Normally our podcast (85k+ downloads) is in Dutch. Especially for our English speaking clients I recorded three of our most popular episodes in English. I hope you forgive my Dutch accent and enjoy it;-)
In the last half of the episode below, you’ll find a 20 minute breath meditation. It’s a simple version of what you’ve learned in your first session, but not less powerful. You can use this recording to practice relaxing your breathing. A deeper breath is an amazing tool to allow the sensations of touch more fully. Very helpful for your next session!

Frequently asked questions about our follow up session:
Of course, in a long-term relationship there will be periods in which things get difficult. That is part of any good relationship. Hopefully there is also enough love and willingness to move through this together. We are happy to help you with that. All our Tantra guides have great therapeutic skills, and the capacity to guide you firmly and lovingly.
If touch feels so far away that you actually do not want it, we first ask you not to force yourself during this session. We would like to know that in advance. And still: this session can about touch. We will use a powerful practice in which you can do an in-depth investigation into the good reasons for not wanting to touch of be touched. This usually creates much more understanding and relaxation.
Because, usually, the reason for this blockage does not lie in this relationship. Your partner is probably triggering an old wound, which was there already long before you met. It can be very opening and connecting to get to know each other better in this.
A note: although we are mostly qualified therapists/psychologists or coaches, this is not a therapy session. In Tantra we want to get to know ourselves, our partner, and life itself better. And so, we are not working towards a specific goal, as therapy does. That does not mean that the healing effects of this session can not be quite strong.
Yes! Experience shows that there is always something new to discover. Tantra offers many different techniques, that you can use to approach Touch from a different angle than usual.
You can use your great love of touch to open up to a new way of experiencing it. Very helpful!
Hell yeah! Our private Tantra workshops are very often given as a gift.
It almost always works out very well. By now you have some experience with us, and we think you’ll know a bit about what you’ll get. It’s a super original birthday, engagement or anniversary present!
