Dare to Join the Erotic Revolution
For hundreds of years eroticism has been considered TABOO – something happening only behind closed doors, and many times seen as shameful or unpure.
Most of our modern-day culture has reduced eroticism to only its physical, sexual, instinctual elements. It’s been stripped of its sublime, sacred aspects – the true essence of Love and Eros that fulfills the heart and soul.
This year, we’re here to change that.
On Valentine’s Day weekend, through workshops, talks, special yoga practice, performances, dance and meaningful connections, we will step into the world of Eros and re-discover the vastness of beauty within our soul.
We will learn to manifest our pure erotic nature, discover who we are as erotic beings and how sacred eroticism and profound conscious intimacy are keys to true, long-lasting fulfillment in life.
This year’s Tantrafestival aims to show eroticism in a different light – as one of the most powerful and sublime tools of transformation and awakening of the soul that we have at our disposal.
We invite you to be part of the EROTIC EVOLUTION of our era, and together to generate a global shift upon eroticism and the pure manifestation of EROS!
A Soul-Fulfilling Celebration of Love & Eroticism
At this year’s Tantrafestival, we will remove the TABOOs around eroticism and learn how to nurture this pure, uplifting energy – recognizing it as one of the most essential parts of our being.
The erotic energy is the energy of life and in ancient times conscious eroticism and conscious living went hand-in-hand.
“Who you are when you make love is who you are in life!” was what the tantric practitioners used to say.
And this comes with an important clarification:
This festival is not about sex or sexual behavior – it is about sublime, uplifting Eroticism – which is fundamentally & radically different!
Eroticism it is an impetus of the soul towards the highest reaches of paradisiacal realms.
When fully embraced and integrated, Eros brings sacredness into every aspect of our life – even what seems profane – triggering a transformation within and an evolution of consciousness.
The key difference is that Eroticism is based on the sublime energy of LOVE – which actively elevates our desires, our intimacy and our eroticism.
So in this festival we aim to awaken and cultivate LOVE in all its forms – towards ourselves, in our relationships, and for all of manifestation throughout the entire Universe.
Step by step, with every workshop, dance, and intimate moment – this weekend represents the magical journey of discovering & enjoying the most profound & fulfilling aspects found deep within our souls.
Explore Hyper-Conscious Intimacy & Romance
Sacred intimacy is one of the most fulfilling aspects of a love relationship, and an art worth taking a lifetime to master.
Unfortunately, most of us were never really educated on how to love, how to truly be intimate with another human being, how to touch consciously, or how to support and experience the most profound states during love making.
When two lovers are deeply intimate with each other they feel connected, nurtured and seen. They communicate without words and have no needs or expectations.
Intimacy appears naturally in the beginning of a relationship, but in time it becomes more and more difficult to preserve it without knowing some fundamental keys and mechanisms.
During this festival we will learn and practice ways to awaken and nurture intimacy and take relationships to a whole new level of happiness.
We seek to create a perfect blend of relaxing time and transformative “heart-work”.
In doing so, you get the chance to learn new things, to open up to the unknown, to embrace the old, to bravely face life transformations, to explore sensuality in the light of full awareness, and to surrender to the breathtaking gifts of love that connect you to others and to your inner source of happiness.
Awaken Your Consciousness, Master Your Erotic Energy & Set Yourself Free!
Tantra is about awakening. To wake up to life and to the beauty around us. To awaken the senses and the countless facets of joy and pleasure. To awaken our consciousness in a fearless surrender to every opportunity that life throws at us. To wake up to ourselves and each other in natural heartfelt presence.
Throughout the event there will be space to eat, enjoy and laugh together; space to create trust, intimacy and loving connections; and there will be guidance for beautiful meetings and insights into Eros, relationships and love.
We will use Tantric practices such as yoga, meditation and many other techniques to make us more aware of the energies in our body, eliminate blockages, awaken our hearts and consciousness.
Staying true to genuine Tantric tradition, everything we do in this festival aims towards greater levels of Self-awareness and a deeper understanding of both ourselves and the universe.
