3 Good Reasons to Try Tantra in Amsterdam
Tantra is truly blooming in the Netherlands. In our little country we have several big Tantra schools, that increasingly attract and influence not only the people already interested in spirituality: most of our clients practice professions with high responsibilities.
We have developed an adventurous and safe way of practicing ancient Tantra techniques for modern day people to enjoy life to the fullest (and along the way becoming more sensitive to yourself, other people, and the world around you)
Our school; Avond vol Aandacht (meaning ‘Evening full of Attention’) is on the frontline of these developments; merging ancient Tantric practices with modern day therapeutic skills and knowledge.
Tantra is all about energy; allowing your life energy to flow freely trough you. This energy you can use for love making – but also for decision making.
All of our all-female team of Tantra guides, have a solid background not only in Tantra (practicing 7+ years minimum) but also in therapy, coaching or psychology.
This way, we provide an adventurous but also safe way to practice to allow your life energy to be free.

1. We offer a safe way to practice Tantra
Have you heard wild stories about Tantra? Unfortunately, they are true.
In many Tantra schools it’s kind of normal to put pressure on practitioners to try something they really don’t want to. And as we work with sexual energy in Tantra (which is actually the same as your life energy) this is playing with fire. We don’t want to traumatise anyone.
So yes, it’s normal to experience a little nervousness as you try something new. Growth is always taking place outside of your comfort zone.
At Avond vol Aandacht, we think that you also need to feel safe in order to be able to grow. So, in our private Tantra workshops for couples, your clothes stay on, we are not asking you to make love on the spot, and we will never put any pressure on you.
But we do teach you wonderfully easy and powerful techniques that you can use at home as well – within or without a sexual context.
2. A perfect time to deepen your relationship
It’s my experience that if my relationship is flourishing, all the world is in bloom. Everything feels just so much kinder and warmer to me.
The number 1 regret that people on their deathbed say they have: ‘I wish I spent more time with my loved ones’.
And spending time is one thing. But are you thoroughly enjoying it?
I mean enjoying not in the sense that you should have fun all the time – but in the sense you feel like you really touch each other on a deep level.
Do you feel truly seen by your beloved?
Holidays are a perfect time for deepening your relationship. Without the usual stresses of life, there is usually more openness to allow for new experiences.
Try to book your private Tantra session at the beginning of your holiday, so you still have a couple of days to practice what you’ve learned – and enjoy the intimacy between you.


3. Amsterdam is the perfect place for adventure
I love traveling. I think the most important reason why I love it so much, is that outside of my normal surroundings, I kind of become someone new: curious, open to new experiences…Really here: in this moment.
Actually this is the perfect attitude for exploring Tantra. Just like you would explore Amsterdam and it’s little alleys, it’s beautiful canals and it’s gorgeous parks, you can explore your inner world as well.
Usually when we grow up, we unlearn to be curious and to experiment. We shut down to new possibilities. We learn quickly that we need to do things ‘right’ (whatever that is).
In Tantra, you get into this ‘beginners’ mind’ again. You’ll learn to look at yourself and the world like a child again: open, full of wonder and curiosity.
And doesn’t Amsterdam – the center of Tantra in the world today – provide a wonderful backdrop for that?
