CHANGE OF DATES – 3 WEEKENDS (possible to follow separately): 8-10/3/2024, 26-28/4/2024, 12-14/7/2024

SIGN UP/INSCHRIJVINGEN: via elle@tantra.community

There is an inner garden of desire that is rarely revealed. Maybe you have explored it already a little by yourself, or in your couple. But at the threshold of this place often there are a couple of dragons keeping guard. Some lingering shame or doubt, some fear of rejection, or just a lack of imagination. And yet a lot of people have questions about the way they experience their sexuality. The heights and the depths of what is possible. The hidden paths of connection that may have flared up for a moment, then disappeared, the veins of lust and pleasure that are hidden under the surface. 

Often what is needed to explore this Garden, is time and a feeling of safety. Some arrows and directions to wander into the unknown. A good sense of humor and an experimental setting. And a warm environment in which to work, come together, and share our experiences. 

When we say we want to ‘shapeshift’ the spirit of sexuality, we want to liberate desire and pleasure from their usual connotations and sexually limited context. The union of bodies does not just take place during intercourse. It is a creative and endlessly changing vibration that flows between people, but also out into the world. We can make love without touching, exchange bodies with each other, be touched by the elements and objects around. We learn to make use of all our different bodies: physical, but also mental, emotional and energetic. And together we create beautiful waving bliss-bodies of fun and pleasure, but we also work through the emotional release of pain, shame and negativity. 

FOR WHOM:

This is a workshop that is open to everyone that is ready to open up and go truly naked to the core. You do not need to be in a couple, but it is for sure great to enter this experiment with your partner. Most important is your willingness to listen, to your own body and the body of your partner. To go deep, and not push into the highway of orgasm-as-you-know-it. To be light and experimental in your approach. To allow gates to be opened you never thought of entering…

We ask you to apply with a motivation, in which you clearly describe what you want to explore and work with in this series, what your challenges are, and what you are afraid of.

You can send your motivation to: elle@tantra.community, and we will contact you as soon as possible.

PRACTICAL:

Secret Gardens is a workshop series of 3 workshops, with a progressive development. You are welcome to join only one, but make sure that you do have enough basic knowledge of the work, if you want to step in at the 2nd or 3rd stage.

The workshops are:

26-28/1/2024: THE SECRET OF SACRED UNION

LOCATION: Rue Dieudonné  Lefèvre, 4
1020 Bruxelles

In this first weekend, we practice consent and a deeper understanding of our own blueprint of desire and connection. We open up the knowledge of our energetic bodies and learn to touch and work with them. We practice being moved in and out of the other(s). This workshop is NOT about penetrative sex, but about gaining tools for a different understanding of sacred union. The level of (un)dressedness is up to you, and you can also decide at all times on the degree of your engagement in the meditations.

8-10/3/2024: KINKY SHIFTS

LOCATION: Rue Dieudonné  Lefèvre, 4
1020 Bruxelles

On the second weekend, we dive into the naked truth of our fantasies, in a ritualized form, designing our own objects and tools of desire. We will test the waters of some kinky techniques, but this is not a ‘classical’ kink workshop. It is a sensual ritual workshop that opens up your scope of pleasure and imagination, into the realms of eco-sexuality, existential kink, and sensual worship.

26-28/4/2024: SENSUAL SHAPESHIFTING   

LOCATION: Gontrode Heirweg 141, 9090 Melle

This weekend is all about shapeshifting: taking on the body of the other, or even of other beings. We shift the center of our pleasure out of our body, and into another. We transform the limits of our bodysense to include other-gendered bodies, other species, and other spaces. We journey, exchange bodies, become other….

Practical:

If you decide to come to the workshop(s), you agree to follow the weekend fully, to abstain from alcohol, tobacco (or any other intoxicants), coffee, sugar and electronics (including cell phones), for the duration of the weekend.

Place: 2 first workshops are organized at Rue Dieudonné  Lefèvre 4, Bruxelles. 3rd workshop is at Dwarsligger vzw, in Ghent (Melle).

Price: You pay 600 for the series, exclusive of food and accommodation. If you choose to follow only one workshop, you pay 250 euros. Food is paid at the weekend itself (50 euro per weekend).

Accommodation: You can stay over and sleep on a mattress. Mattresses are provided but bring your own bedding. Price per night is 15 euros, to be paid at the venue.

Next Step: We ask you to apply with a motivation, in which you clearly describe what you want to explore and work with in this series, what your challenges are, and what you are afraid of.

You can send your motivation to: elle@tantra.community, and we will contact you as soon as possible.
