The Quiet Orgasm: Body, Energy & Expanded Consciousness | Tantra Retreat

Join us from June 7-9 in Amsterdam for a unique tantric retreat. We wish to deep dive into a quieter, insightful and yet joyful and orgasmic state of being where you could slowly connect and speak internally with yourself, others, and may feel what’s bigger than us that goes beyond just words, starting from our own body temples, physically and energetically in balance. We will be collectively channeling the guidance from Nature, Plant Medicine (Mappacho & Blue Lotus) and various ancient traditions and rituals. This is how we call our Temple - it’s throughout the whole three days (in rituals as well as in simple moments like sitting, eating and walking), and to be integrated into daily life.

WHO IS THIS FOR:

-- This retreat is for curious souls who want to dive in deeper

-- For those who find themselves doing the same exercises again and again at the different events they attend and who wish now to explore a little further.

-- For those who feel the urge to listen deeply to a wisdom that comes from an embodied place of presence within.

-- For those who feel the urge to step out of the patterns which hold them small, to forge new paths to places where their lives are moved by meaning. Where energy flows freely. Where simple things, such as the feel of rain or the smell of earth, fill the body with pleasure.

-- This is for those who tire of the physical act of ‘Love Making’ and wish instead to learn how to ‘Make’ more ‘Love’. A wondrous act. An art in which the collision of polarities transforms the sexual energy that births cells and stars, into one which expands our conscious state, and allows us to manifest love into material reality from an ecstatic quiet of deep listening.

We kindly ask you to fill in this application form with agreements to make it safe and respectful for everyone in the group: https://forms.gle/4AHfX9GWK6NFeCYw8

OUR INTENTIONS

This is not just another intense or fun experience. The kind that, once done, we just go home and return to the same old unhelpful life patterns until the next workshop/retreat/healing session. The next ‘fix’ of ‘intense spiritual’ experience. This is a deeper dive into a quiet place. A place where we feel safe and able to channel. A place where in humility, silence and slowness, we are guided by a hand bigger to reveal what is necessary for each of us to feel, to heal, to expand, to play and to integrate fundamental shifts which we can take back out into our daily lives.

We will be guided by ancient wisdoms from both Eastern and Western traditions and by Nature. We will invite in our unique and yet collective gifts, allowing space for the emergence to evolve. We will together step away from the noise and immerse ourselves in a well-held, sacred and connected space where you can experience deep nourishing breath and rest, insights, and growth, as well as the courage to truly look into shadows, feel intense emotions and let go of what no longer serves.

We will share practical tools and rituals to help you ground, to make more space and to release and move towards a sense of peace and alignment. To learn to feel, to realise, to listen, to return to fully into the body, again and again, for life energy to flow, for pain to transmute into the ecstasy of love, into pleasure and orgasm, into this beautiful quiet state where we listen and understand, profoundly.

OUR PRAYERS

Together, we will explore the profound depths of presence within. What it is to be in an inner silent state. We will dance with the deep intimacy that can arise within ourselves and with each other when we are in deep presence. This is a co-created tantric journey where everything can happen but nothing has to happen. We welcome curious and brave souls of all shapes and backgrounds.

We hope to share with you some of the benefits we have experienced by working with teachers of great wisdom and power. We want to do this by creating shorter more affordable events so that these vital teachings are accessible more widely. We believe the power of a deeper dive into tantra should be for the many, not the privileged few. Whatever your background, ethnicity, sexuality or gender you are welcome to travel with us. As a collective group, we will come together, in our authenticity and in our trust. We will humbly ask the wisdom to move us.

“The workshop was extremely powerful and with his guidance, we felt very safe and committed. On a technical level, there's a lot to take in, understand and keep in mind, and still, Wave made it much easier with how he guided us and helped us focus on the crucial parts” - Space Monkey

“Loved it. I felt safe, connected. The best temple I've experienced in terms of truly bringing together sacredness & sexuality. I want to join every future temple by them” - Ariana Lara Norcia
