Tantric Popsicles tantra workshop & playground

Tantric Popsicles – A Taste of Tantra
Next Edition: Embracing Your Shadows
Saturday, November 1st

Ready for a fullbody reset before winter kicks in?

Tantric Popsicles are immersive one-day
events where you get to reconnect with your body, your breath, and your true energy away from pressure, performance or pretence. Whether you’re new to tantra or already experienced, this is your space to unwind, go deep, and feel alive again.

🖤 NOVEMBER THEME Embracing Your Shadows
As autumn turns inward and the days grow darker, it’s the perfect time to face what you’ve been avoiding, and release what no longer serves you.

This workshop is a guided inner cleansing ritual a powerful blend of:

Emotional release techniques
Breathwork and transformation practices

Gentle bodywork and pressure point massage
You’ll learn how to work with your emotional energy not by suppressing it, but by meeting it, moving it, and letting it go. This is your invitation to reboot your system, soften your inner resistance, and come back home in your body with compassion and strength.

This isn’t therapy.
It’s tantra: raw, real, embodied presence. And it changes you.

🧡 What this day gives you
A reset for your nervous system

Tools to let go of stress tension and emotional backlog

A deeper connection to your truth power and softness

A safe space to be seen, felt and supported without masks

More breath. More energy. More life.

🕒 Program – Saturday, November 1
14:00–18:00 Tantra Workshop: Embracing Your Shadows

18:00–20:00 Potluck Dinner – Bring something nourishing to share

20:00–00:00 Tantra Playground

You can join just the workshop, or stay for the full experience.

The Playground is a gently held
evening temple to explore what wants to move through touch, breath, connection or stillness. With cuddle corners, massage spots, and a space to practice shibari (rope work), there’s room to play, feel and be real. After a short warm-up and consent practice, you’re free to follow your flow in a loving, respectful space.

Tantric Foodies, Spaceholding in Tantra course , level 1

🔥 The Essence of Tantric Space holding
In Tantra, the work is not only about releasing tension but also about building energy life force, kundalini, sexual energy. This can be ecstatic, but also challenging, because the mind tends to weave stories around it: of pain, of abuse, or of spiritual grandeur.

In tantric space holding, we go beyond all that. It is not about power, status, or knowing better than someone else. Nor is it about fixing traumas or labeling emotions as positive or negative. The aim is transformation: reclaiming your energy, allowing it to flow freely, and surrendering to nature to Shakti.

From this larger whole, you discover that we are all equal, co-creators from the same source. Teachers, gurus, and space holders are not above anyone, but companions on the journey. Safety in the workshop is important, but never the ultimate goal. The true foundation is the field in which energy can flow freely that is the essence.

✨ Practical📅 Monday evenings, November 10, 17 & 24
🕢 19:30 – 22:00
📍 Temple of Happiness, Amsterdam
💫 Contribution: €25 for all three evenings

🔹 Accessibility
This course is open to anyone who feels drawn to space holding in Tantra. If you already have a background as a tantrica, teacher, or group facilitator, you can join right away. For those who have not worked with Tantra before or only have experience as a space holder at temple parties we do recommend starting with the Tantric Milk and Honey foundation course. That way, you can experience the non-dual ground from which we work and participate with more depth in this pioneering practice.

All events of the Temple of Happiness

Your body is a temple: come to recharge in the Temple of happiness!

At the heart of Tantra lies the profound understanding that within each of us lies a sanctuary of joy and enlightenment, waiting to be unveiled. Through the cultivation of a willing, pure, and natural body, nourished by breathing exercises, sacred rituals, wholesome nutrition, mindful movement, and deep meditation, we recharge ourselves, grow and awaken to the vibrations of our highest selves.

As we attune ourselves to these practices, we become acutely aware of the “Temple of Happiness” residing within us and the interconnectedness we share with those around us. It is a vision of unity, where the boundaries of individuality dissolve, and we recognize ourselves as integral parts of a shared consciousness.

This is the essence of our philosophy — a celebration of the divine within and without, a journey towards the realization of our true nature as beings of pure joy and love. We invite you to join us on this path of self-discovery and transformation, as we collectively dance and practice in the radiant light of the Temple of Happiness.

Blog: The Buddha is back

There is a legend that Buddha predicted that in 2500 he would return as the Maitreya.
Storytelling is a craft, tantric stories are cleverly constructed, full of double meanings. Without any context you can’t do anything with it.

Osho gave a hint about this prediction, of course after he indicated that those 2500 years would have passed approximately now (who knows, the exact period in which Buddha would have lived is not certain).

Maitreya means “friend,” said Osho. A saint never returns in Osho’s culture. They will not reincarnate any more. Osho indicates that it is not meant literally.

The word Maitreya means friendship. According to Osho, Buddha speaks about a time when we have grown so much that we no longer need a leader, but a friend. And that time is “now”.
