……Als de liefde niet bestond
Zou de zon niet langer stralen
De wind zou niet meer ademhalen
Als de liefde niet bestond

Geen appel zou meer rijpen
Zoals eens in het paradijs
Als wij elkaar niet meer begrijpen
Dan is de wereld koud als ijs

Ik zou sterven van de kou
En m’n adem zou bevriezen……
Toon Hermans

Liefde ! Altijd maar weer de liefde…….

We zijn het, we verlangen ernaar, we worstelen er mee, we komen er van alles in tegen, het leidt ons naar diepe dalen en naar grote hoogtes. Liefde is wat ons verbindt maar wat ons ook kan afscheiden als we haar niet meer kunnen voelen.

Rolando Toro noemde biodanza ‘een heropvoeding in de liefde’.

Zelf zou ik het eerder een herinnering aan de liefde willen noemen want biodanza helpt je de liefde die je, in essentie al bent, te herinneren. Om er weer meer toegang toe te krijgen en haar meer voluit te durven en kunnen leven.

Maar zoals de indianen zo treffend zeggen : de langste en moeilijkste afstand die een mens in z’n leven kan afleggen is die van het hoofd naar het hart.

Dansen helpt je om die weg te banen. Het haalt je uit je hoofd en laat je in je lijf zakken. En door de gerichte ‘oefeningen’ die we doen word je steeds opnieuw uitgenodigd je te verbinden met je hart en je buik. Ga je steeds meer ervaren wie je bent voorbij je denken. Kan het leven weer meer door je heen stromen en kan je voelen hoe verbonden je bent met alles om je heen…….want liefde verbindt.

De spontane beweging in ieder mens is altijd richting verbinding, hoe verwond we wellicht ook zijn geraakt.

In het versterkte liefdesveld dat we met elkaar vormen kunnen we de verbinding herstellen. Want we hebben elkaar broodnodig om te helen wat ooit, óók in verbinding, beschadigd is geraakt.

Joanna geeft regelmatig dansdagen over deze liefdes‘lessen’. Deze geven je de mogelijkheid om een diepe duik te nemen in het liefdesbad en stappen te zetten in de liefde. Om haar dieper toe te laten, in de verbinding met jezelf, in de verbinding met anderen en in de verbinding met het grotere geheel.

Wil je meer liefde(skracht) ervaren in je leven? 
Kom dan naar een dansdag en laat je meevoeren in de liefdesstroom.

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.

👉 The Playground is also open to returning guests who’ve joined one of our tantra events before and are known to us.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐖𝐎𝐌𝐁 𝐏𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐀𝐋
𝑺𝒂𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒃𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒉, 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 & 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕

A sacred gathering for women ready to soften, 
awaken and return home to their feminine essence.

Do you feel the call to come back to your body?
To listen deeper?
To reconnect with the intelligence of your womb,
the place where your intuition, creativity, sensuality, and feminine power live?

This is an invitation to step through the first portal of the Womb Cross:
A sacred map of energetic gateways held in the feminine body.
Each one carrying its own frequency of truth, archetypal wisdom, and embodied awakening.

We begin where it all starts:
At the root of safety, trust, and boundaries.
Where your no becomes sacred,
and your yes becomes embodied.

This is where the voice of your womb begins to rise.
Where your truth starts to vibrate through your body.
Where silence becomes sound.
And old blockages; fear of being seen, fear of speaking, start to dissolve.

In this space, we soften the walls around our voice.
We breathe into the holding in our throat and hips.
We begin to reclaim what was shut down.
And we do it together.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁?
Through a soft and powerful journey, you’ll be guided into deeper connection with yourself, your breath, your womb and your voice.

𖦹 Opening connection rituals
𖦹 Shaking, grounding & womb-centered meditation
𖦹 Breathwork to awaken your feminine body
𖦹 Teachings & activation of the First Womb Portal
𖦹 Sharing circles
𖦹 Voice liberation practices
𖦹 Intuitive dance & embodied expression
𖦹 Closing circle to anchor your experience
𖦹 Nourishing potluck (shared diner)

All of you is welcome.
Your softness. Your wildness. Your silence. Your sound.
Come exactly as you are.
Leave more connected, more embodied, more you.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗼:
☥ Want to deepen the connection with their body, breath and womb
☥ Feel a longing to live from their feminine essence
☥ Are ready to listen to their inner voice
☥ Crave softness, safety, and sacred sisterhood
☥ Want to express themselves with more confidence and truth
☥ Are curious about womb work and sacred feminine practices

You don’t need any experience. 
Just a willing heart, a curious spirit, and a body that longs to be felt.

Let your womb be your compass.
Let your voice be heard.
Let your presence be felt.

We rise by remembering.
And the portal is open.

𝐴𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝐺𝑢𝑖𝑑𝑒Hi! My name is Anne; I’m a certified breathwork coach and Kambo facilitator, and one of the things I love most is creating transformational retreats and sacred gatherings where we come together to dive deep and expand.

A few years ago, I uncovered early childhood trauma. That moment shifted everything and brought me into the realms of womb work, feminine embodiment, voice activation and deep remembrance.

This path eventually led me to Mexico, where I was introduced to The Womb Cross; an energetic map of the womb and yoni, with sacred portals that hold different frequencies of feminine consciousness. A pilgrimage into the deepest parts of my being.

Now, I’m honored and excited to guide other women through the first portal of this sacred map, and to open this temple space together.

This event will take place on my birthday, and I couldn’t think of a more beautiful way to celebrate than to share it with you.

Join us for a special evening of transformational breathwork and ecstatic dance. 

Breathwork & Beats is a blend of conscious connected breathwork set to the beat of music. We will guide you on a journey of self connection, self love and release.

Then this seemly blends into a wonderful Ecstatic Dance. Ecstatic Dance is a rave space and musical journey where you get to surrender to movement without judgment or choreography, creating a liberating and exhilarating experience of self-expression, connection, and pure embodied joy.

Our intention is to share these great practices with our community to create an experience of joy and celebration.

ALL ARE WELCOME!

We end the evening with an optional cuddle space, where we just put on some nice music, put out some mattresses and just softly relax with each other.

Kink and BDSM are often seen as edgy, intense, or purely fetish-driven. But they can also be a path to healing, trust, and deeper intimacy.

This workshop isn’t about toys, tools, or techniques. It’s about something more essential that you can tap into: the energetic dance of power, presence, and connection and how these skills can transform not only your kink play but all of your intimate and sexual relationships.

What you’ll experience:
- The magic of anticipation: Learn how to build tension, desire, and sensation that makes every touch more electrifying.
- The power of presence: Discover how breath, confidence, and attention deepen both control and surrender.
- Embodied dominance & submission: Move beyond rigid roles into an intuitive, felt experience of trust and responsiveness.
- Deep listening and responsiveness: Explore how subtle cues in touch, breath, and energy create safety, attunement, and intimacy.
- Kink as a path to intimacy: Transform play from a set of “tricks” into a powerful way of connecting, desiring, and being desired.

Through tantric-inspired practices (breath, energy, and presence) you’ll uncover what happens when you slow down, let go, and allow connection to guide you.

Who this workshop is for:
- The curious beginner who wants to explore kink in a conscious, connected way.
- The experienced player who wants to deepen their practice with energy, presence, and attuned play.
- Anyone who craves slowness, intention, and embodied intimacy beyond surface-level kink.
- GBTQ+ people ready to explore power, surrender, and desire in a safe, queer-centered space.

Why this is different:
This is not a crash course in floggers or rope. This is an energetic journey into how kink can open you to trust, play, healing, and pleasure at levels you may not have experienced before.

Part of The Connection WeekendSaturday 8th November: Kink for Connection,  somatic activation through conscious power play.
Sunday 9th November: Holding & Being Held, a day of somatic regulation and deep receiving, in collaboration with Brotherflow.

Together, these two days balance activation and integration, offering you a full-spectrum experience of intimacy, embodiment, and connection.

Feel Deeply Seen, Held, and Accepted

When was the last time you felt truly safe to just be? No expectations. No roles to play. No need to earn love, connection, or touch.

For many men, the only physical closeness we share with other men is either sexual, sensual, or avoidant. This workshop opens a different door, one where you can experience care, presence, and acceptance in their purest form.

When we are given the space to receive and feel deeply safe and present our nervous system is given the chance to open, connect and feel accepted. 

The intention of this event is to guide you through a specific technique that allows you to feel deeply held and to deeply hold another.  This is an invitation to step into a safe space where you can finally receive without doing, and connect without pressure.

What you’ll gain from this experience:
- A deeper sense of belonging through safe, supportive connection with other men.
- The practice of holding and being held, learning how to show up fully and allow yourself to fully receive.
- Profound body relaxation that reaches beyond surface-level rest.
- Emotional release and clarity, whether what comes up is joy, sadness, fear, or peace.
- Tools for co-regulation and presence that you can carry into your relationships and daily life.
- Integration rituals so the impact stays with you long after the workshop ends.

The flow of the day:
Morning: Learn the delicate practice of holding, presence, and attunement.
Afternoon: Drop into the experience of receiving, being deeply held without needing to do or give anything in return.
Closing: Reflect and integrate your journey so it becomes a part of your life beyond this workshop.

This day is for all men and male-identifying people who want to explore connection beyond the usual patterns of sexual, performative, or avoidant touch.

Come alone and be paired with someone, or bring a partner to deepen your connection together.

This day is being created in collaboration with Brotherflow. Brotherflow is a laboratory for new masculinities: a community where men and masculine-aligned folks explore softness, strength, and connection through ritual, creativity, and play. Let's get together and reimagine masculinity as a force for healing, care, and collective growth. More info on Instagram: @thebrotherflow.

This day is part of the Connection Weekend, a weekend to explore different forms of somatic play. On Saturday 8th November we will also be offering Kink For Connection, an intro day to conscious power play for men. There is a discount for attending both days.

🔥 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.

Have you also been feeling 
- the world (and ourselves) moving through great change - a time of transition where the familiar is dissolving and the new has not yet fully arrived. In moments like these, when everything around us is shaking and spinning, there is an even deeper invitation from inside: to REMEMBER and connect.

To remember what truly matters.
To remember who we already are.
To return to the simplicity of connecting and being.
To remember there is innocence and love that connects us all.

Temple of Remembering:
Body as Prayer on November 21 is the first of a series of living portals and Tantric Temple events in Amsterdam a Journey to Remembering in sacred, interactive and playful group spaces, from Body, to Heart, to Soul.

Each event opens a new doorway,
calling in those who feel ready to slow down, to listen and feel deeper, to re-connect with the rhythm of what is real within, and from that place, to connect deeper with each other. Each event stands complete in itself, yet together they form a deeper map an invitation to keep returning home, layer by layer, to the simplicity of connection. 

We begin this 1st Temple Night by honouring our and each other's Body not as an object or a form to perfect,
but as a sacred vessel. A prayer in motion as a way of worshipping the beauty and wholeness of life through Breath, Touch, Presence, Sensuality and Play. Gently supported by the sacred medicine of Blue Lotus.

Join us 🔥
(Early Bird until Oct 25): 
https://hipsy.nl/event/156022-temple-of-remembering-body-as-pray-a-tantric-temple-night-amsterdam


✨ THE FLOW OF THE NIGHT

The evening opens with an ancient tea ceremony with Blue Lotus,
the flower of awakening and purification guiding us gently to quiet the mind, connect from our roots, and enter the portal together. Drinking with intention, the lotus shifts the lower energy into higher, connecting the root to crown, resembling the natural growth of the flower, cycles of nature, within our own body.

From this softened place,
we will move through rituals and embodied practices designed to help us listen, feel, and remember - we will explore the art of touch, connecting our hearts, making prayers with our bodies and receiving from a place of presence, truth and care with each other. These rituals are not rehearsed or repeated. They are intended to be alive born from what the group brings, from the medicine of the moment, from the shared field of our hearts remembering together. 

Then we will flow into a free-flow Temple space where everything is possible 
(within our boundaries and agreement) and yet nothing needs to happen. Where we will be able to practice and deep dive into what we've learned, and freely explore and connect with other beautiful beings. At the end, we will close the night together. 


✨ WHO IS THIS FOR?

This is not a space for only seeking new highs or chasing another experience.
We are inviting a different kind of ecstasy a return to the pulse beneath all movement, the stillness that breathes, the Body and Heart as a portal to deeper connection.

Whether you are a man or a woman or just a being,
come alone or with a partner. This is a space to explore in your own way - through loving presence, playfulness, and deeper, embodied connection.

New and experienced temple goers are both welcome.
Simply bring your curiosity, your honesty, and your willingness to listen to yourself, to others, and to the quiet whisper of what wants to be remembered through you.

This is a space where Sexual Energy is welcome as sacred life force,
not as performance or goal. Here and together, we explore the many ways love and aliveness can move through eyes, breath, touch, presence and body.

and co-create a safe container together.


✨ WHAT OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED:

“This was my first experience with tantra,
and I feel grateful for the insights and discoveries I gained. I learned a lot about myself and my sensuality. I am also impressed how the facilitators created a safe space and container where everyone was welcome. Thanks so much, Leila!” - Nadiem, Energy Play Temple 

“What an intense sensation for my first temple.
I felt so free, so safe. So held. Truly a very special and sensual experience with these two beautiful women who are very powerful in their guidance.” - Sanne, Temple of The Senses

"The ritual brought me deep inside my own body and connected me deeply with my female being and wisdom. Energy was activated and flowing through my whole body. Louelle created a very safe space. I felt held and seen. I highly recommend her and her work.“ - Anja"

“Voor mij was het een mooie diep gaande ervaring die zeer waardevol is gebleken.
Daar naar heb ik geweldige mensen ontmoet. Ik kan niet anders zeggen dat ik dankbaar ben.” Translated as “For me, it was a beautiful, profound experience that proved to be very valuable. I met wonderful people as a result. I can only say that I am grateful. - Peter, Energy Play Temple

(Google Translated from Dutch) “In a word, "magical"! These facilitators, with this team, succeeded in co-creating a cocoon of safety and security over the three days, enabling a huge leap into the unknown. And that leap into the unknown was exactly what my body and my entire being had been longing for for so long. Everything feels right these days. And these days demonstrate that, no matter what, the process can be trusted. A deep bow to this team, for the security, warmth, and affection that was here for all of us. ” - Peter, The Quiet Orgasm

Tantric Finger Food - Tantra Massage Weekend Course
Module 1 - Tantra Kundalini Massage (22-23 November 2025)

In onze retraites en workshops merken we telkens weer:
Tantra massage vraagt om tijd, oefening en verstilling. Daarom hebben we een nieuwe cursus ontwikkeld in drie losse modules, zodat je elke stap echt kunt laten indalen.

In Module 1 maak je kennis met de techniek van Tantra massage:
een bewuste vorm van aanraking waarin je als ontvanger actief betrokken bent. Het gaat niet om klassieke spiermassage, maar om werken met adem en energie.

- Met specifieke ademhaling en de mahabandha 
(bekkenbodemspieren aanspannen en ontspannen) leer je kundalini levensenergie opbouwen in plaats van alleen te ontspannen.
- De vertraagde, zachte aanraking nodigt het zenuwstelsel uit tot ontspanning en opent het lichaam.
- Uit deze combinatie ontstaat een beweging van binnenuit: extase (kundalini) verspreidt zich door het hele lichaam, voorbij gedachten en oordelen.

Het verschil met gewone massage is dat je niet passief aangeraakt wordt,
maar leert hoe je zelf aanwezig blijft in je lichaam en je energie laat stromen.

 In dit eerste weekend masseren we geen geslachtsorganen,
maar wel liezen, billen en het hele lichaam met zachte, alomvattende aanrakingen die de kundalini-levensenergie wakker maken.

Programma & locatie:

📅 22-23 november 2025
🕙 Zaterdag 10:00 - 18:00 (geen avondprogramma, geen overnachting)
🕙 Zondag 10:00 - 17:00
📍 Temple of Happiness, Amsterdam (non-residential)
🍲 Inclusief gezamenlijke potluck-lunch

Prijs:

Early bird:
€250 (bij boeking tot 3 weken voor de start)
Regular: €275
Alle drie modules samen: €750 (altijd geldig, ook na de early bird-periode)

💆 Tantric Finger Food - Tantra Massage Weekend Course 
Module 1 - Tantra kundalini Massage (22-23 November 2025)

In our retreats and workshops we often notice:
Tantra massage requires time, practice, and stillness. That’s why we’ve created a new course in three separate modules, so that each step can truly sink in.

In Module 1 you’ll be introduced to the technique of Tantra massage:
a conscious form of touch in which the receiver is actively engaged. It is not about classical muscle massage, but about working with breath and energy.

- Through specific breathing and the mahabanda 
(engaging and releasing the pelvic floor), you learn to build up life force (kundalini) energy rather than only relax.
- The soft, slowed-down touch allows the nervous system to relax and the body to open.
- From this combination, a movement arises from within: ecstasy (kundalini) flows through the whole body, beyond thoughts and judgments.

Unlike ordinary massage,
you are not passively touched - you learn to stay centered in your own body and let your energy move.

In this first weekend,
we don’t massage the genitals, but we do include groins, buttocks, and a soft, all-encompassing touch of the entire body to awaken the kundalini life energy.

Program & location:

📅 22-23 November 2025
🕙 Saturday 10:00 - 18:00 (no evening program, no overnight stay)
🕙 Sunday 10:00 - 17:00
📍 Temple of Happiness, Amsterdam (non-residential)
🍲 Includes shared potluck lunch

Price:
Early bird: €250 (valid until 3 weeks before the start)
Regular: €275
All three modules together: €750 (always valid, also after the early bird period)

Experience needed:
- For Modules 1 and 2: No experience required, but we recommend 1-3 tantric massage sessions first. 
- Module 3: at least 1 Module experience because this is for advanced participants.

Tantric Popsicles – A Taste of Tantra
Edition: Tantric Surrender – Saturday, November 29th

Want to learn how to let go and take the lead?

Tantric Popsicles are one-day journeys 
into breath, embodiment and deep connection   where the mind quiets, and the body starts to speak. Whether you’re new to tantra or already experienced, this is a space to soften, expand, and explore new layers of yourself.

🤍 THEME: Tantric Surrender
This edition is all about the dynamics between surrender and leadership.

We’ll explore:

Breathwork  and dance to awaken your energy and connect to your inner center
Shibari (rope work) and blindfolds to feel what it means to hold   and be held

What does it take to truly surrender to your body, to another, to the moment?
And what does it take to lead not from control, but from deep alignment ?

Through movement, breath and touch, we explore:

How to center yourself first
What you need to feel safe in surrender

How to lead from presence and invite connection
🧡 What it gives you
A deeper sense of trust in yourself and in others

Tools to center and regulate your energy
Insight into your relational patterns around power and letting go

An intimate space to play with connection, touch and polarity

🕒 Program – Saturday, November 29
14:00–18:00 Tantra Workshop: Tantric Surrender with Sylvia (Natural Bliss: www.instagram.com/naturalbliss.nl/) & Janine (Wilde Ziel: www.wildeziel.nl)

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

20:00–00:00 Tantra Playground

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

We’ll meet you there.

Ecstatic Dance & Ritual 
- Friday December 5 - Sint Edition

Theme: The Ritual of Abundance & Giving....
With DJ Shanti Erik !!!
at the Temple of Happiness

As the season of giving approaches,
we invite you for a night of mysticism, connection and dance.
A night to celebrate abundance not by holding on, but by letting go, by giving what you long for.

✨ This edition is inspired by the tradition of gift-giving.
We begin with a playful, connecting ritual: everyone brings a small gift for someone else. Something that carries your blessing, or reflects what you wish to invite into your own life. Because true abundance flows when we give away what we desire most.

🌀 Let this ritual open your heart.
Let it remind you that abundance is not something to collect but something to share.
Afterwards, surrender to the Ecstatic Dance Journey with DJ Shanti Erik, who is our private DJ, who creates an intimate sound space, guiding us into a journey of abundance, joy and love.

🌟 The Program

🚪 19:00
- Doors open - tea & cozy Temple vibes
🕯 19:30
- Ritual of Abundance & Giving
💃 21:00
- Ecstatic Dance Journey with DJ Shanti Erik
🎶 23:00
-00:00 - Chill-out, sharing & integration

🌈 Why join?
Because giving is magic.
Because abundance is born in sharing.
Because when you let go, life flows.
Because the dance floor is where it all comes together.

Bring a small gift 
(wrapped or not, either way is perfect). It’s your key into the ritual.

🔥
With playfulness, rhythm & love,
The Temple of Happiness Team

⏯️ To learn more about what you can expect in this workshop,
watch this 3 minute video: https://youtu.be/6khg-LTxxt4

How do we learn to let go,
to trust other men, to go deeper in our connections?

What - as gay
/bi/queer men* - holds us back from trusting one another and forming deeper intimacy?

What keeps us caught in patterns of transactional sex that we find unfulfilling?

In The Art of Surrender,
you’ll get to practice building intimacy, trust, and safety with other men, so that you can finally let go into a world of pleasure, connection and bliss. We’ll use tantric massage practices, including anal massage, to practice receiving touch and pleasure, and opening up to experiences beyond the mind.

The Art of Surrender is learning how to let go of control,
so we can show up more authentically. It’s allowing ourselves to be seen, so that we can embody more of our potential in the world. It’s opening up to new experiences, new feelings, and new possibilities in our erotic lives, so we can break out of the scripts and discover something truly profound.

With support and guidance,
you’ll discover the bliss that’s only possible when you let down your shields and allow yourself to surrender.

By participating in this weekend,
you’ll join a community of like-minded men* wanting to authentically connect, outside of the limiting scripts of mainstream gay culture. 

*We warmly welcome all cis and trans men, as well as individuals with other gender identities within the queer masculine spectrum, regardless of body type, appearance, or disability.


WHAT WILL YOU EXPLORE?

❧ How to build intimacy,
in your relationships and with men you’ve just met
❧ How to create safety and trust with your partner, and better attune to your partner’s needs and your own
❧ How to look beyond preferences and discover the parts of you and of others that are deeply lovable
❧ Tantric massage techniques to activate and energize the body
❧ How to receive touch and allow yourself to be held and taken
❧ Discover a deeply healing relationship with your anus, focused on slowness and appreciation
❧ How to weave together your sexuality and spirituality to open up to experiences of profound connection
❧ Allow your sexual energy to bring you into states of pure bliss


WHAT IS SURRENDER?

Surrender is a state one can enter when we let go of our mind’s need to control our experience.
Surrender can feel similar to a flow state - when we move effortlessly and thoughtlessly through our experience, moment-by-moment. In states of surrender, we can often feel more deeply - our sensations, our pleasure, and our energies. Surrender gives us access to spiritual states where we can feel held and supported, connect with our intuition, and connect with a sense of something larger than us.

In this weekend,
we’ll use anal massage practices as a portal to access states of surrender. In anal massage, we get to practice receiving, being held and cared for by another, and letting go of our need to ‘do’, to be ‘active’, or to control. In order to be able to let go, we have to feel deeply safe. So we will spend significant time over the weekend building our container of trust and intimacy as a group, and helping you to feel your capacity, boundaries and limits so that you can receive in safety.


THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU IF:

❧ You struggle to let go of control and want to invite more ease and flow into your life
❧ You struggle to receive - touch, pleasure, love, care - and you want to allow more 
❧ You want to drop in to flow states, and experience the pleasure of not over-thinking
❧ You want to connect with other men* in safety, trust and care, and discover the freedom that arises in authentic intimacy
❧ You want to enjoy the pleasure of touching and holding other men with a strong container of consent, boundaries and safety
❧ You want to feel more comfortable in your body
❧ You want to explore new types of anal pleasure
❧ You want to heal your relationship with your anus from past emotional traumas or pain
❧ You want to develop a relationship with your anus that feels empowered, caring and sensitive
❧ You are willing to dive into a weekend that may be uncomfortable, but has the potential for huge growth and transformation
❧ No previous experience with tantric or anal massage is required


What if there’s someone there I don’t want to touch 
(or be touched by)?

Our events prioritise consent.
You'll never be obliged to touch or be touched by anyone. We begin the event with exercises that empower you to say "no" both verbally and non-verbally. As facilitators we are here to ensure your safety, so you can have your own experience without worrying about unwanted touch.

While we encourage exploring beyond your usual preferences,
it's entirely your choice. As you might in a massage, you may allow yourself to be touched or to touch someone you wouldn’t usually be attracted to. This event is about expanding your experiences beyond the workshop.
If you ever feel uncomfortable, you won't be forced to connect with anyone. Your safety is our priority.



PRACTICALITITES:

Radical Honesty Weekend Workshop in Amsterdam
19-21 December 2025
Led by Certified Trainers Pete Jordan & Tuulia Syvänen.

A workshop about Living Out Loud, Being Happy, Getting over Shit and Being in the Present

We invite you to go from your comfort zone to your brave zone and jump into your being real and being you.
All parts of you are welcome in this Honesty Europe's weekend workshop.

You do not need to show only the shiny, happy, successful side of yourself during this workshop – your fearful, angry, sad, shameful sides are also welcomed.

We encourage and celebrate vulnerability and being real.

We invite you to show yourself and allow others to truly get to know you and give them the opportunity to like you (or dislike you) as you are.
 You are welcome to be messy, laugh, cry tears of sadness, tears of being touched and even tears of joy.

Who is this workshop for?
Honesty Europe's workshops are for you if
・you want to experience more freedom in your life
・you want to let go of shame, fear and attachment to approval
・you are looking for using conflict creatively and want to go beyond blame
・you desire to learn the art of asking for what you want
・you want to heal your relationships and find forgiveness
・you feel stuck in your life or want to get rid of unhealthy patterns
・you yearn deeper love, connection & intimacy

Our workshops and retreats are not for you if you want to continue relying on white lies to hide yourself or if you want to keep sugarcoating issues in your relationships (and by doing so hindering connection). 

We encourage you to complete whatever unfinished emotional business from the past you have with your loved ones and live in the Here And Now and create the future you want.

What happens in the workshop?
This workshop includes teaching, sharing in the group, facilitated conversations, paired exercises, small group exercises, hot-seat work, grounding / meditation and much more geared towards integrating honesty and authenticity more and more to a daily practice and ongoing way of life.

We might talk about our money issues, attractions or about our sexuality or about what we are proud of – or any other subjects we might have deemed as taboo.

We often also share how we sabotage our happiness and how we make ourselves miserable by comparing us to others. And what is great and beautiful about us.

Honesty Europe retreats and workshops are experiential and can be very experimental by exploring how it is for us to express ourselves in new and different ways.

We learn and practice distinguishing between thinking and noticing what is actually happening. We do this by noticing with our eyes and ears and physical sensations, and also noticing our thoughts as thoughts – not as a reality.

In the workshops you can express yourself by laughing, shouting, crying, smiling, sharing, by asking for what you want and willing to receive without a requirement of giving back.

Schedule, The workshop will take place:
- Friday 19 December 18:00 – 21:00
- Saturday 20 December 09:30 – 17:30
- Sunday 21 December 09:30 – 17:30

🔥 Ecstatic Dance & Ritual – Celebrate Life
Once a month – Friday night at the Temple of Happiness
THIS TIME SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EVE EVENT!

Once a month, on a sacred Friday night, we gather to dance, to connect, and to celebrate life   held by ritual and rhythm.

✨ Why Ritual?
Because rituals reconnect us.
To spirit. To each other. To ourselves.

They awaken something ancient within.
They give shape to the unspoken.
They open the door to deep transformation.

We believe spiritual awakening isn’t a solo mission.
It’s a shared journey.
A dance between stillness and expression.
Between solitude and tribe.

That’s why we created Ecstatic Dance & Ritual.
Because something essential was missing and we found it in ritual.

💛 Rituals that bring us home to the body
💛 Rituals that honor life’s thresholds
💛 Rituals that help us shape-shift into who we truly are

Let’s gather in this soulful, 
safe space.
To shed the old.
To call in the new.
To celebrate the wild and wise tribe we are part of.

🌟 The Program
(Each month’s program can be found on Hipsy   see ticket link)

✨ 19:00 – Doors open 🚪 – we welcome you with tea in our beautiful Temple space

Come play, dance, shape-shift, and rise with us.

🔥With rhythm, love, and courage,
The Temple of Happiness Team

F A Q

What if I don’t want to be touched?  
For those of us who prefer no physical contact, we’ve created an energetic lap dance. There will be opportunities to participate without touch, as witnessing and being witnessed can be just as powerful. We also have an introvert corner for anyone who needs space or time to themselves.

What if I don’t want to do something in the moment?  
Your boundaries are sacred. During every exercise, we will honor your right to opt out or modify the experience to suit you. This is a key part of empowerment breaking the narrative of "I have to do this because the facilitator said so." Maybe you'll choose to give an energetic lap dance or simply observe; both are equally powerful as long as it's an authentic expression.

Am I too old, big, or inexperienced?  
Absolutely not. Whether you’re a beginner, 90 years old, or think you're overweight, this space is for you. As a paying participant, you have every right to be here. In fact, this is a great opportunity to challenge any limiting beliefs you’ve internalized around age, size, or experience.

What should I wear?  
Kneepads are your friend! You can order them here: amzn.to/3PcPxRh. Heels are optional. Wear whatever makes you feel good. What side of yourself do you want to embody? Dress for that! Need inspiration? Check out my recommendations here: https://amzn.to/43bqtQA.

Why use lap dance for self-development?  
You won’t confront your programming around sensuality in a library! Self-expansion requires awareness of what’s holding you back, and a little conscious triggering can help uncover these beliefs. Lap dancing is especially effective at revealing where we feel blocked or start to perform. I’ve seen confident people freeze or slip into performance mode during lap dances, mimicking what happens in their intimate relationships. This process creates a ripple effect breaking down limiting beliefs through lap dance improves participants' love lives, confidence, and overall radiance. So why not explore this as a path to deeper self-development?

"This was such a healing and empowering session. I loved every moment and met some beautiful souls. Ariana has such a soothing energy. I felt calm just being in her presence, and she maintains this vibe throughout the entire session."

"My first time attending something like this, but I felt very comfortable and welcome throughout. I’ll definitely be back!"

"We explored divine sensuality, peeling back layers to reach our heart space and heal. There was time to breathe, dance, and express while also holding space for each other. With a glimpse into my soul, I look back on these gatherings where I could breathe deeply, let go, and explore with other women what lies beneath the surface. It’s something I now yearn for as a weekly practice. I highly recommend these healing circles." – Yasmin

"Ariana's teachings are deep and transformative. I’ve never met someone more skilled at connecting me with my innermost feelings and creating a safe space for them. She holds space with so much delicacy and patience. Anything that needed to surface was seen and nurtured, allowing me to transform my suffering into light and inspiration. I was reminded of the magic that exists. Pure priestess work! Thank you!" – Xena

Tantric Foodies:
Course in Space holding within Tantra (3 Modules)
Part of the program The Tantric Juice bar at Temple of Happiness, Amsterdam

🔥 Tantric Foodies,
Module 2 - From Safe Space to Brave Space

In this deepening module on Space holding in Tantra,
we explore personal leadership as a space holder. How do you stay present when things get uncomfortable either within yourself or with a participant?
You’ll learn how to hold space for someone who is in that delicate phase between wanting to stay safe and having the courage to leap.

We use tantric systemic work to gain insight into power dynamics,
privilege, gender differences, and the influence of verbal and nonverbal communication. We explore how courage and safety meet where trauma is touched, and how awareness can emerge without judgment or agenda.

The emphasis is on experience,
self-inquiry, and practicing real-life situations. You’ll learn to recognize your personal boundaries, how to provide grounding in challenging moments, and how to sense the group’s energy without losing yourself.

📅 Dates:
January 12, 19 & 26, 2026
🕢 Time: 19:30 - 22:00
📍 Location: Temple of Happiness, Amsterdam
💫 Contribution: €150 for three evenings

🔹 Accessibility
This course (3 Modules) is open to anyone who feels called to explore space holding in Tantra.
If you already have experience as a tantrica, teacher, or group facilitator, you’re welcome to join directly.
If you’re new to Tantra or have only held space at temple parties we recommend starting with our courses and workshops first, and then getting in touch with us.
That way, you can experience the perspective from which we work and join this pioneering practice with more depth and understanding. 

If you are not a professional in Tantra, Module 3 is only accessible if you followed at least 1 Module (1 or 2).

The GROUNDED. workshop focuses on helping you establish a deep connection with your body and the present moment.

Through a series of body oriented 
exercises and meditative practices, as a participant you’ll learn to come ‘home’ to yourself, your body and your breath. The movement practices, combined with your breath and voice, will help you to release tensions and find a natural sense of stability and clarity. You’ll experience the feeling of standing strong and feeling centered and calm. This workshop is ideal for those seeking to enhance their mindfulness and emotional resilience. 

Grounding is a state of being but also a refreshing practice that can be deepened when exercised regularly. 
Come home to the place where overthinking is not an issue and where you can feel sensitive but at the same time present and strong in your body! 
This workshop includes a lot of bodywork: bio-energetics, shaking, breathing, sounding and movement exercises.

💫 Module 1 - Awareness,
Energy & Surrender

Dates: February 6 +7 (non-residential weekend course, without dinner)

Module 1 is a gentle yet powerful introduction to non-dual Tantra.
Through breath, presence, and life energy (Kundalini), we discover how the natural flow of energy in the body can awaken. From this flow arises both ecstatic aliveness and deep inner stillness.

We create a safe and playful space to let energy move freely,
to feel more deeply, and to rest in the awareness that is always present. Breath, meditation, movement, and conscious connection invite you to surrender to what is - without judgment, without performance, without a goal.

✨ What to expect

Awakening and flowing of life energy

Ecstatic aliveness and deep relaxation

Breathwork,
movement, and meditation

Conscious connection with yourself and others

(this is not a Tantric massage course, see Tantric Fingerfood for that especially)

Price: Early Bird €250 (until 4 weeks prior) | Regular €300

🌸 Teaser:

This is only the beginning.
After Module 1, two more deepening modules follow:

Module 2 
(11 + 12 April): Shadows, Dragons & Dakinis - working with emotions, blockages, and the stories of the mind. We liberate our energy and discover compassion within.

Module 3 
(13 + 14 June): Everyday Enlightenment - trusting the inner light, letting go of concepts, and discovering bliss (Ananda) in daily life.

✨ You can join a single module,
or follow all three as one continuous path of transformation.
Price: €300 per module | Early Bird €250 | All 3 modules together: €700 (instead of €750)

💫 Module 1 - Bewustzijn,
Energie & Overgave

Data: 6 + 7 Februari (weekend cursus zonder overnachting of diner)

Module 1 is een zachte maar krachtige introductie in non-duale tantra.
We werken met adem, aanwezigheid en levensenergie (Kundalini) en ontdekken hoe de beweging van energie in ons lichaam zich kan openen. Vanuit daar ontvouwt zich een bedding van extase én diepe stilte.

We creëren een veilige ruimte om energie vrij te laten stromen,
intenser te voelen en te rusten in het bewustzijn dat altijd aanwezig is. Bewust contact, adem, meditatie en speelse oefeningen nodigen je uit om je over te geven aan wat er is - zonder oordeel, zonder prestatie, zonder doel.

✨ Wat je kunt verwachten

Levensenergie laten ontwaken en stromen

Extatische energie en diepe ontspanning

Adem, beweging en meditatie

Bewust contact met jezelf en de ander

Prijs: Early Bird €250 (tot 4 weken vooraf) | Regular €300

🌸 Teaser:

Dit is slechts het begin.
Na Module 1 volgen nog twee verdiepende modules:

Module 2 
(11 + 12 april): Schaduw, Draken & Dakini’s - werken met emoties, blokkades en de verhalen van de mind. We bevrijden onze energie en ontmoeten compassie in onszelf.

Module 3 
( 13 + 14 juni): Verlichting in het Alledaagse - vertrouwen op het innerlijke licht, loslaten van concepten en het ontdekken van bliss (Ananda) in het dagelijks leven.

✨ Je kunt een losse module volgen,
of alle drie samen als één doorlopend pad van transformatie.

Kundalini Activatie met live Cello & Blauwe Lotus TheeThema: 
Ontmantel je schaduw
vrijdag 14 november 2025 | Amsterdam 
Tijd: 19:00 – 21:30
2 facilitators Noor en Sophie

🐍Een reis naar de schaduw – daar waar jouw goud ligt
We naderen de kortste dag van het jaar.
Nog vijf weken tot de winter haar donkerste punt bereikt.
De natuur keert naar binnen, en wij mogen dat ook doen.
Het licht neemt af, de beweging vertraagt. Wat buiten stilvalt, nodigt binnen uit tot diepgang.

Tijdens deze sessie zakken we dieper in. 
In je lichaam én in je binnenwereld.
Je kijkt naar je schaduw: de delen van jezelf die je ooit hebt weggestopt.
Delen die je bent vergeten, die je hebt verstoten, of die je nog niet kent.

Juist daar, in dat stille en soms ongemakkelijke stuk, ligt jouw kracht verborgen.
De energie die ooit bevroren was, wacht om weer te stromen.

Deze avond nodigt je uit om te vertragen.
Om te voelen wat gevoeld wil worden.
Niet om iets los te laten, maar om weer te omarmen wat lang buiten de deur bleef.
Om die delen te herinneren, te erkennen en terug te nemen in jouw geheel.
Zodat je weer volledig kunt zijn   met alles wat jij bent.

🐍Wat kun je tegenkomen?
- Oude pijn die gezien wil worden
- Patronen die je niet meer dienen
- Verlangens die je lang hebt weggestopt
- Het stille weten dat je meer bent dan je maskers

Deze reis naar binnen opent de deur naar transformatie.
Naar meer vrijheid, helderheid en liefde voor alles wat jij bent licht én donker.

Je hoeft geen ervaring te hebben. 
Kom zoals je bent.

🌿 Programma
We reizen deze avond in drie lagen: 
openen, bewust worden, verdiepen.
Stap voor stap zak je dieper in jezelf

– Aankomen met Blauwe Lotus Thee
Een hartopenend ritueel om te landen en je zintuigen te openen.
– Kundalini Activatie
Een diepe reis met een intense playlist en meditatie. Sophie speelt intuïtief stukjes live mee op cello.
– Integratie & afronding
Met thee, wat lekkers, stilte en de mogelijkheid om je ervaring te delen.

🔮 Wat kun je verwachten?
- Een veilige, liefdevolle bedding
- Dieper contact met je lijf en je innerlijke waarheid
- Inzicht in jouw verlangen en innerlijke dynamiek
- Voelen waar je jezelf nog tegenhoudt en dit bevrijden
- Loslaten van spanning, patronen of oude overtuigingen
- Ruimte om je licht te laten stralen

✨ Wat het je kan opleveren
- Heldere keuzes en meer richting
- Een open hart en een gegronder lichaam
- Meer vertrouwen in jouw kracht en intuïtie
- Een gevoel van thuiskomen
- Verbinding met jezelf en het grotere geheel

Tantric Finger Food – Module 3: Bewegende massage & bekkenenergie

📅 7 & 8 maart 2026
Deze module kan alleen gevolgd worden na Module 1 of 2, zodat je de bedding en context van ons werk begrijpt. Het is een uniek massageweekend waarin we de vaardigheden uit de eerdere modules deels herhalen, zodat je vertrouwd raakt met het opbouwen van energie die je lichaam orgastisch en extatisch maakt en je dieper brengt in je essentie – wie je werkelijk bent.

We focussen in dit weekend op het wakker maken en laten stromen van levensenergie vanuit het bekken door het hele lichaam. Dit doen we met een beweeglijke massage geïnspireerd op de Kasjmierse massage: een vloeiende, dansende massage op een mat waarbij de ontvanger wordt bewogen en zelf ook beweegt, volgend de impulsen van de eigen energie.

Er is veel aandacht voor adem, bandha’s en lichaamsbewustzijn, zodat energie vrij kan stromen. In deze module leer je bovendien hoe je op een veilige en integere manier een yoni- of lingam-massage kunt geven, altijd in consent en met zorgvuldige begeleiding.

👉 Deze module vraagt dat je al enige ervaring hebt met werken met levensenergie, en dat je de instructies om bij jezelf te blijven en met volle aanwezigheid te ademen, goed kunt volgen. Veiligheid en zorgvuldigheid staan bij ons altijd op de eerste plaats.
👉 Heb je vragen of een achtergrond die het voor jou moeilijker kan maken om deze module te volgen? Neem gerust contact met ons op.

💶 Early Bird: €250 (tot 3 weken voor de start)

💶 Alle drie de modules samen: €750

Tantric Finger Food – Module 3: Moving Massage & Pelvic Energy

📅 March 7 & 8, 2026

This module can only be taken after Module 1 or 2, so you already understand the context and foundation of our work. It is a unique massage weekend in which we partly revisit the skills from the previous modules, helping you to become more familiar with building energy that makes the body orgasmic, ecstatic, and brings you deeper into your essence – who you truly are.

In this weekend we focus on awakening and allowing life energy to flow from the pelvis throughout the entire body. We do this with a highly dynamic massage inspired by Kashmiri massage: a fluid, dance-like massage on a mat where the receiver is moved and also moves themselves, following the impulses of their own energy.

There is plenty of focus on breath, bandhas, and body awareness, so that energy can flow freely. In this module you will also learn how to give a yoni or lingam massage in a safe and integral way, always in full consent and with careful guidance.

👉 This module requires that you already have some experience with working with life energy, and that you are able to follow instructions to breathe, stay centered, and remain present. Safety and care are always our top priority.
👉 Do you have questions, or a background that may make it more challenging for you to join this module? Please feel free to contact us.

Tantric Foodies:
 Course in Spaceholding within Tantra (3 Modules)
Part of the program The Tantric Juicebar at Temple of Happiness, Amsterdam

⚡ Module 3 
- Masterclass : Spaceholding in Intense Situations

In this professional module,
 we work with the raw intensity that can arise when sexual energy is released. This is the realm where love, power, projection, and spiritual confusion meet.

We explore the dynamic tension between the team of spaceholders and the ‘crazy wisdom’ teacher:
 how do you stay grounded, clear, and true to your intuition when the energy rises or boundaries begin to blur?

We examine group dynamics,
 resistance, seduction, and situations where power and surrender can intertwine. We also address topics such as spiritual gaslighting and the use of language: how can you remain inviting and open, while still providing a solid container for what is truly unfolding?

The most important thing we learn is to face every situation honestly,
 so that awareness can arise. Only then can we hold and navigate the intensity that emerges from sexual energy and power dynamics in a safe and responsible way.

📅 Dates:
 April 6, 13 & 20, 2026
🕢 Time: 19:30 - 22:00
📍 Location: Temple of Happiness, Amsterdam
💫 Contribution: €175 for three evenings

🔹 Accessibility
This course (3 Modules) is open to anyone who feels called to explore space holding in Tantra.
If you already have experience as a tantrica, teacher, or group facilitator, you’re welcome to join directly.
If you’re new to Tantra or have only held space at temple parties we recommend starting with our courses and workshops first, and then getting in touch with us.
That way, you can experience the perspective from which we work and join this pioneering practice with more depth and understanding. If you are not a professional in Tantra, Module 3 is only accessible if you followed at least 1 Module (1 or 2).

🌟 Module 3 - Everyday Enlightenment

Dates: June 13 + 14 (non residential, no dinner)

In Module 3 we open to the mystery of enlightenment in daily life - what I sometimes call the creaking door of awakening.
We practice trusting the inner light, guided by intuition, while letting go of concepts of “how to be” - even our ideas of Tantra itself.

Through meditation,
breath, dance, and ritual, we discover bliss (Ananda) and innate wisdom as a living reality. Sensual energy becomes a gateway into joy, intimacy, and the art of falling in love with life itself.

✨ What to expect

Meditations and rituals to let go of concepts

Sensual energy as a gateway into bliss

Practices to fall in love with yourself and life

Breath, dance, and ecstatic transformation

Ancient myths and stories as inspiration



NEDERLANDSE TEKST:

🌟 Module 3 - Verlichting in het Alledaagse

Data: 11 + 12 juni 2026 (niet met overnachting en zonder diner)

In Module 3 openen we ons voor het mysterie van verlichting in het dagelijks leven - wat ik wel eens het klapperende deurtje van verlichting noem.
We oefenen in vertrouwen op het innerlijke licht, laten ons leiden door intuïtie en geven concepten van “hoe je moet zijn” volledig vrij - zelfs onze ideeën over tantra.

Door meditatie,
adem, dans en rituelen ontdekken we bliss (Ananda) en oerwijsheid als levende realiteit. Sensuele energie wordt een poort naar vreugde, intimiteit en het verliefd worden op het leven zelf.

✨ Wat je kunt verwachten

Meditaties en rituelen om concepten los te laten

Sensuele energie als poort naar bliss

Oefeningen om verliefd te worden op jezelf en het leven

Adem, dans en extatische transformaties

Mythen en verhalen als inspiratiebron
