School:
SkyDancing Tantra teaches us to choose with awareness what brings us pleasure and joy, thus opening the door to a deeper connection with spirit and a greater sense of aliveness and well-being. The practice of SkyDancing Tantra enables us to overcome feelings of separation and create a sense of union with yourself, others, and the world. The body relaxes, the heart opens and the mind becomes clearer and more focused. When this integration takes place, we are ready for a new sexual and spiritual experience in which physical/sensual pleasure becomes a celebration of the heart and an ecstasy of the spirit. Ultimately, the SkyDancing path provides a model for cultivating the Tantric way of life – helping us awaken to our ecstatic potential, embrace our own vital powers, enliven sensuality, awaken spirituality, and create a more fulfilling love life.
SkyDancing is the ancient metaphor for the ability to achieve ecstatic states. SkyDancing Tantra is the ability to integrate these ecstatic states into our sexuality and into our lives, so that love can be experienced as a flow, a joyful celebration, a healing meditation. SkyDancing Tantra presents the Tantric paradigm through methods accessible to the Western culture and lifestyle.
SkyDancing International is a collective of Institutes and Teachers of Tantra that convey the teaching of the tantric lineage created by Margot Anand. SkyDancing Tantra is a school of Tantra, that is to say it offers people an individual path to transform their vision and approach to life. SkyDancing carries no dogma. Learning is above all experimental. Like any tantric approach, SkyDancing's teaching focuses on awareness and energy (vitality). Interaction between participants, such as sexual energy, is seen as a tool for access to consciousness and vitality and not as an end in itself.
SkyDancing offers tools that allow students to become aware of their conditioning and blockages and to enter into a process of personal evolution and profound transformation. SkyDancing provides a safe and caring environment for everyone to learn and evolve at their own pace. The proposed experiences are original and stimulating: it's the experience of a lifetime. An absolute freedom to enter or not into the practices is left to the students. The pace of each is respected.
The history of SkyDancing Tantra:
The path of the SkyDancer goes back to 8th century Tibet, when Yeshe Tsogyal, the enlightened consort of Buddha Padmasambhava, was called the "Great Skydancer." Together they developed Tantric Buddhism. "Skydancers" in the Buddhist tradition were people of great passion who were profoundly devoted to spiritual awakening. The path of the SkyDancer is a spiritual path where men and women see each other as equal partners on a quest who integrate ecstatic states into their daily lives.
The path of SkyDancing Tantra came to Margot as a revelation rather than a tradition. The vast body of knowledge and practices developed by Margot Anand and delineated in her best-selling books, is known as SkyDancing Tantra : The Path to Bliss. A network of Institutes in several countries, all are offering workshops and the beautiful teachings of Margot Anand.
Margot, along with her certified SkyDancing Tantra teachers, has taught SkyDancing Tantra to tens of thousands of people worldwide, through several international SkyDancing Institutes since the late 1980′s. SkyDancing functions as a family, a network of teachers grouped around Institutes that support one another.
Over the past 30 years, Margot Anand's SkyDancing Tantra has been among the most researched methods developed in modern Tantra. A scientific study at the University of Hanover in Germany was conducted over a year and a half, following participants of Margot's initial three-weeks Love and Ecstasy Training (LET). The results based on thorough statistical analysis of some 800 medical, psychiatric, and psychological questionnaires, described the benefits of the training as: improved health, increased creativity and concentration, and improved partner communication with increased orgasmic response.
MARGOT ANAND ABOUT TANTRA AND SKYDANCING
„ Love, Sex & Enlightenment” – Margot Anand's article on tantra.
Many people mistakenly believe that Tantra is a spiritual bastardization of sexual therapy, an excuse to indulge in sexual games or orgies, an addiction to hours of sexual orgasms. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The Tantric path teaches us to embrace and unify the ordinary, the erotic, and the sacred dimensions of life, all of which have their roots in Spirit.
The beauty and wisdom of Tantra is that it enhances sexuality as a doorway to the "ecstatic mind of great bliss". Truly, at the peak of orgasm, we pierce through the illusion of fragmentation and separation, and glimpse the unity and interconnectedness of all beings. And through the other--our partner--we fall in love with life.
Because sex holds this great potential for opening our being to the experience of ecstasy, Tantra has for millennia taught the cultivation of sexual love as an art, as a skilful spiritual practice. Then, as now, Tantra challenges the belief promoted by most spiritual and religious paths that we must suppress or transcend out sexuality to practice meditation or awaken our Spirit.
Tantra arose in rebellion against the repressive orthodoxy of the Hindu priesthood, the Brahmins – especially against the idea that one had to be celibate to gain enlightenment. Tantra acknowledges that sex is at the root of life and that to make human sexuality and erotic union a form or worship and meditation is to practice reverence for life, leading us directly through the pleasure of the sense to spiritual liberation.
Cultivate Ecstasy
As a therapist, I knew that the process of healing emotional wounds by focusing on the past to find their source was limited. Although it can bring about healing, it all too often promotes a fascination with the problematic. Furthermore, when we focus obsessively on our problems and pains, the ecstatic potential in most of life's moments goes unrecognized and unacknowledged, and our lives are emptied of a sacred and joyous dimension. Life appears problematic rather than ecstatic, more a puzzle to be solved than a pleasure to be cultivated.
I realized that existential or psychological pain was actually the absence of ecstasy. It was the outcome of being cut off from the source of one's being, the source of life. On the other hand, cultivating ecstatic states of consciousness and learning how to integrate them into our lives can have profoundly healing effects. I have come to believe that our suffering has its roots in the loss of ecstasy and that reclaiming our natural ecstasy holds the key to our healing and our liberation.
SkyDancing
Over the years, all that I had discovered coalesced within me into a new shape and meaning. I called the body of knowledge and the ritual practices I had developed over many years "SkyDancing Tantra: The Path to Bliss". This path came to me as a revelation rather than a tradition. Yet the path of the SkyDancer is indeed one that goes back to eighth-century Tibet, when Yeshe Sogyel, the consort of Buddha Padma Sambhava, was called the "SkyDancer". Together they developed Tantric Buddhism.
Originally, the SkyDancers were wild, free ecstatic "dakinis", also called feminine buddhas or female awakeners. The word dakini means "woman who dances in space" or "woman who revels in the freedom of emptiness". SkyDancers were, and are, women of passion who were profoundly devoted to spiritual awakening.
The path of the SkyDancer is a path of spiritual partnership that teaches the complete reciprocity of male and female practitioners as they learn the art of integrating ecstatic states and ecstatic practices in their daily life. It reintroduces in our world the understanding that to heal the world, we need to rediscover and respect the fact that women can be and are awakeners and initiators and enlightened teachers.
SkyDancing Tantra is a unique path that weaves together traditional Tantric, Hindu, Buddhist and Taoist teaching with my studies in humanistic and transpersonal psychology, bodywork therapies, sexology, yoga, music, and metaphysics. All of this works with human energy systems through the use of light, music, movement, visualization, and particularly (and primarily) the energy map of the chakras. The tantric chakra system offers a perfect map for the transformation of energy and consciousness, from raw lust to love, a visionary power, and finally to awakening.
SkyDancing Tantra teaches us that when we learn to approach life with a relaxed body, an open heart, and a peaceful mind, we can access ecstatic states and learn to weave them into the daily fabric of our lives.
Sacredness of Sex
It is crucial to understand the sacred dimensions of sex. Sex lies at the root of life, and we can only learn reverence for life when we learn reverence for sex. People in this culture need training in the art of love. They need to understand that sexuality is a very natural instinct, and there is nothing wrong with it. The damage to human society caused by the condemnation of sex is incalculable. Instead of celebrating sex as the creative force it is, we have turned sex into a furtive, guilt-ridden affair. This has misguided and influenced our entire world view. There is a tremendous effort being made to heal the planet, save the rain forests and to bring peace to warring ethnic and religious factions and yet how can any of this happen when the very source of human love is poisoned?
There is a powerfully creative force associated with our sexuality. It is possible for each of us to become a magician and use that force to heal our life and transform our vision--to realize our dreams. We have all sorts of programming blocking the flow of our sexual power. We need to be open to be able to face those demons, to look at the shadow with all honesty, knowing that truth is erotic. The more you can share your truth, the deeper and the more erotic it will become in the long run.
Workshops
1. SEXUAL ALCHEMY AND THE SECRET OF SKYDANCING TANTRA
All those interested in Tantra and in spiritual awakening, should know that Skydancing Tantra is the most ancient tantric approach which has come back alive to be taught today on the planet. Skydancing is about the alchemical transformation of physical orgasm into spiritual ecstasy. Margot Anand, who received this method in out of the body transmissions will tell you about the secrets of Skydancing Tantra, how it works, and why it is EXTREMELY important to understand and practice, especially in this day and age. Margot will also teach a practice.
2. TRUE EMPOWERMENT: What you need to know, and practice, before you can progress on the tantric path
Every Spiritual tradition studies and teaches the empowerment that happens when you have opened you “Inner Flute” (Skydancing name), also called :”red bamboo channel” (Tibetan tradition); “middle channel” (Taoist Tradition); “awkening the Phoenix” or Quaetzacoatl (south American Tradition), etc…When this channel is opened you receive new powers to deal with the chaos of the world.
3. THE YIN AND YANG OF ECSTASY
Inside of you there exists the potential for a direct experience of the tantric marriage between Shakti (energy) and Shiva ( consciousness). This is the key to your power. Every woman needs to awaken the guardian of her power and clarity inside. It is her “Inner Man”. Who allows her to make quick decisions, and to feel strong and protected in any and every circumstances. And every man needs to awaken the guardian of his being, of his heart. It is his “Inner Woman” or Anima. For a balanced relationship, you need both. Margot will teach about that.
4. TRANSCENDANCE : THE KEY TO SPIRITUAL AWAKENING AND FREEDOM
There are specific steps to a successful meditation. A way to connect with Inner Silence and Spaciousness at the Source of your being. Margot will tell you about that. And give you certain Mantras to help on this path.
Each of these sessions will last about 2:30 to 3 hours. And the format will be : Margot gives the theoretical presentation, followed by Q&A, followed by a practice, followed by group feedback and sharing.

TRAINING FOR LIFE
A journey into the levels of human consciousness through the seven energy centres.

Workshops
1. Feminine Strenght and the Dance of Feminine and Masculine
In this workshop we open our bodies and hearts to support each other to meet the Goddesses of power and feminine strength inside of us.
We will invoke the goddess Durga, the mother warrior, and her protective and strong nature to show us the way into our own power and capacity to set boundaries. That is a way to fully open our hearts and our bodies for a new and creative connection with men and the masculine energy.
And we will call the goddess Parvati to guide us in experiencing the dance of masculine and feminine inside our bodies and psyche, and to see how these energies mirrors our outer world and our intimate relationships. This is a way to open for the masculine as an infinite space of presence and support, into which we can lean on, relax, expand and enjoy life.
When we give space to our feminine strength and aliveness our natural ability to be open and be receptive spreads like a scent all around us.
DURGA: The goddess warrior, power, protection and inner strength
PARVATI: Goddess of mundane and sacred marriage, motherhood, will power and devotion
2. KALI - The Transformative Power of the Dark Goddess
In this workshop we will meet Kali, the mother goddess of transformative power, to guide us into our instinctual and wild feminine nature.
We will practice going deeper into mother earth and our female roots, bringing nourishment and strength into our pelvis, womb and heart. This is a way to find our treasures hidden in the dark and to connect them with aliveness, love and light.
We will connect with and bring awareness to our feelings and emotions as natural movements of our cyclical feminine nature. And will meet our anger and feminine rage as life energy that has been trapped in our body and psyche, openning and bringing this potent energy into pleasure, love and creative energy.
Kali is the goddess of life, death and rebirth, and questions the ways we hold on to old structures. And with her compassionate fierce love she invite us to let go into our ecstatic feminine nature, openning ourselves to healthy sexual and sensual interactions as well as to our creative expression and spiritual dimensions.
KALI: Goddess of transformation, destruction and transcendental energy
3. The Ecstatic, Sexual and Creative Woman
In this workshop we invoke Lalita Tripura Sundari, the Hindu Trantric Goddess of sacred sexuality and spiritual bliss. Lalita is an archetype of the feminine that personifies the alive, balanced, anashamedly enlightened feminine, which is fuly confident that her love can easily join the erotic with the divine.
Every woman, because she is born in a feminine body, has a direct connection with Lalita’s energy and, together we can create a powerful field to potentialize and invoke the power of pleasure and spiritual connection, in ourselves and in the collective feminine.
In this meeting we are going to enter our bodies as carriers of pleasure and beauty that comes from inside out. We are going to worship and celebrate the sacred temples of our Yoni, Womb and breasts as gateways to our divine feminine sexuality with respect, playfulness and depth.
4. OPEN VOICE – Spontaneous Singing and the Power of Sound Vibration
This is a method for rescuing our natural ability to sing spontaneously by expressing our inner experiences and the uniqueness of our soul. This is a therapeutic process, a powerful opening for self-expression, and a spiritual experience. It is a call to be totally in the present moment and to give expression to what is happening inside, through the singing voice.
This event is an invitation to taste the power and the pleasure of your own voice. It is a journey towards our human potential, by connecting, opening and expressing the wide and rich range of sounds we have within.
We will explore from the lowest sounds related to physical strength and vitality in the first chakra, to the emotional expressions and sensuality in the belly, to power and joy in the solar plexus, to the gentle sounds of love and openness in the heart, to the creative space of the throat, to the high frequency of awareness in the 6th chakra, up to the highest and silent vibration of the seventh chakra.
Discovering and exploring the sounds coming from the different energy centers in the body we can reconnect and express our physical, emotional and mental states, bringing clarity, joy and silence to our being.
EVENING RITUAL:
THE CIRCLE OF LIGHT
The Circle of Light is a magnetic movement that arises between a man and a woman when their masculine and feminine energy flow between the female heart and the male sex center in synchronicity.
We start the ritual by playing with different movements and flow of breath, to wake up the masculine and feminine energies inside ourselves and in the field. This will ignite the energetic flow between the Heart and Sex Center and prepare for the meditation.
In the Circle of Light meditation, we use conscious interactive breathing movements to circulate energy between you and your partner, between the sex center and the heart, creating a circle of light, where you gradually meet and flow with one another, and may completely merge in an experience of oneness, the so-called Unio-Mystica.
* For this ritual you must come with a partner, and you are welcome to experiment the flow of masculine and feminine energies in your body also with a same sex partner.

1. Awakened Masculinity - only for men
Awakened Masculinity is an invitation to men who are feeling a deep need to understand, trust and function from healthy masculine energy in relationship, family and work life. There is almost no education or support available within our family system and society that can allow men to express their vitality and sensitivity. On top of that, lack of healthy role models leaves all men with confusion and isolation.
This is an open invitation to anyone who feels that by understanding some of the basic principal of Masculine energy, they will be able to move forward in the world and take responsibility to make a healthy contribution.
Some of the topics that we will be discussing during this weekend are:
- Understanding Energy principal of Masculinity
- Activating Sexual Energy to open up Kundalini
- Exercises to release unhealthy imprints received from Mother
- Healing wounding and trauma received from Father
- Awakening the wild men through initiation and meditation from Ancient India
- Practices to understand male hormones to shift our sexuality and relating.
- Rites of passage to turning from Boyhood to Manhood
- Release of repressed emotions from the Past
- Tao tantric meditation for multi orgasmic energy flow
- Osho Meditation to open up kundalini and chakra system
- communication tools for love and relating
And much more…
2. Vigyan Bhairava Tantra
An experiential journey into the heart of Tantra. It is for True Tantra Seekers who would like to make Tantra a path of Spiritual Awakening.
Tantra is becoming increasingly popular with the uprising in numbers of teachers, workshops and tantra festivals all around the world. This is a reason to celebrate and at the same time, it brings a strong challenge in front of true seekers to distinguish between Tantra and what is sold in the name of Tantra (often sexual based neo practices). It's so important that Tantra should be presented in its purest form so that it remains a path of spiritual awakening rather than sexual perversion and unconscious indulgence.
One of the classical tantric text dates 5000 years old is “Vigyan Bhairava Tantra” or “Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra”. Cast as a dialogue between Shiva and his consort Devi. Bhairavi, the goddess, asks Bhairava to reveal the essence of the way to realization of the highest reality. In his answer Bhairava describes 112 ways to enter into the universal and transcendental state of consciousness.
Come and join Swami Anahata who is ready to take you on a poetic journey to learn 112 meditation methods of this classical text. It’s an introduction of this sacred text and its methods. We will be practicing 3 meditation methods from this book.
3. Kashmiri Tantra Massage
Kashmiri Tantra Massage is a soft, sensual massage ritual from North India – a tradition of Kashmiri Shaivism. It unites the masculine, the feminine, your inner child, and the Buddha within (your godliness). The receiver gets in deep contact with these four energies. This is done in a safe and grounded way, so whatever healing needs to happen, happens without the giver having a goal to heal the receiver. The whole body gets touched sensually, without focusing on specific body parts.
4. Money, Sex and Power
What motivates you? This is the number one question that I ask when I meet people.
Think about it?
You may have answer such as family, career, freedom, love, boating, and even horse riding. Yes, that’s right—horse riding.
But if you dive deep in your subconscious and sum up all your desires, our minds feels most motivated around these three: money, sex, and power.
We are naturally fascinated by these particular motivators, fixated on the lives and stories of celebrities, influential politicians, and business leaders.
Come and join Swami Anahata who is sharing his valuable insight on how to master this trinity with awareness so you guide your energy rather than being a slave of Money, Power and Sex.

Together with my love Anna we give pragmatic workshops. We give workshops for couples and singles. We only pass on what has worked for us. My 34 year relationship with Anna became richer and freer after we walked the Tantra path. As if we could speak another language. We now experience more freedom and abundance, but always in connection with each other. Together with Anna, we have been studying at the Center for Tantra in Amsterdam for a long time. We have done education and training with Anand Rudra, Mantak Chia, Margot Anand & Esther Perel and many others. Tantra & Yoga have brought me the lifestyle change my life has been waiting for.
Anna Prat i Bascomte
I am Anna Prat i Bascompte, life partner of Mark Oostermeijer, mother of three daughters who teach me something every day. Looking for my options, I left Barcelona when I was eighteen. After four years in Germany I moved to the Netherlands to give love a chance. The Netherlands has felt at home for 30 years, but I keep the endless curiosity from the beginning of my journey. As a psychologist,
I have always looked for more than just talking. I work with psychodrama, EFT (Emotional Focus Therapy for Couples), EMDR, Transactional Analysis and Mindfulness. I support people to go back to the body, our source of wisdom. Last year I followed the “Sacred Feminity Tao Tantric Arts” course with Shashi Solluna and Minke de Vos. I am very grateful for their lessons. Together with Mark I am currently following a two-year program at the Center for Tantra in Amsterdam. Our relationship grows deeper and more joyful with age. I feel very grateful for all the movements that life brings!
Workshop
1. Dealing with Festival challenges!
Going to a Tantra Festival is full of joy and can also be quite challenging. You probably go to the festival to grow, to explore, to learn and maybe for new experiences. In a tantra festival you are surrounded by nice open persons, your sensitivity is enhanced by the workshops and meditations, you open yourself with dance and celebrate with others. It is quite normal that your attention and energy can feel dispersed. If you are in the festival with your beloved it can be also be quite challenging because your energy is pulled by a lot of other energies.
How are you able to keep standing with arousal and high energies around you. How are you coping and handling your own energy? What are your personal desires?
In a festival your emotional body opens up, you can feel easily triggered with emotions of insecurity, sadness, anxiety or anger. But also feelings of extreme happiness, connection and ecstasy. All this feelings give you information about your boundaries, needs and desires.
In this workshop we are going to offer you some practices that can help you address and share your expectations, boundaries and desires. With tools of EFT (Emotional Focus Therapy) we will address possible triggers and emotions that you could experience and find a way to share them with others. Step-by-Step we are going to explore the boundaries of others and ourselves. Playfully we are going to learn, consciously to stay in contact with ourself while interacting. We will also give you tools to reconnect with yourself again when you need it.
2. Conscious massage
Tantra learn us to have contact with ourself, with all the feelings and desires that we may have. The way of tantra is the way of acceptance of what life move in us. When we give a massage we are also full of thoughts, feelings, emotions… and to be aware of them can be very beautiful but also confronting. In this workshop we will first get in contact with ourselves before we get in contact with others.
We are going to practice with different qualities of touch, of making contact with each other. Then we will create a “Sacred Space” and we will guide you into a conscious massage where we use intention to direct our energy.
You can come to this workshop with your lover, or a chosen partner or even with two massage partners. Be aware that nudity is an option but not necessary. If you prefer to keep some clothes on that is perfectly OK.
3. Embracing our sexual blueprint
How we love, how we feel pleasure, what we reject in sexuality is in a great way influenced by what we have seen as a child, what we have heard about pleasure, what was allowed or forbidden. Further than that, we are born in a culture that sees the expression of your desires and sexuality in a certain way. We wear this blueprint in our cells and it has a big impact in our daily life.
In this workshop we are going to dive in our pleasure & sexual blueprint. We are going to get in contact with our life force energy, our sexual energy in different times of our life, from our birth till the day of today.
4. Worshipping all energies in us
Tantra is the path and breaking up with patterns and ideas of who we are to be able to expand and feel who we are. The god Ardhanarishvara represents the synthesis of masculine and feminine energies of the universe. It has the form of Shiva (man) and Parvati (woman) in the same body.
For men and women day in the festival, or as a workshop another day, we would love to invite all genders and expressions to come together. We feel it is time to give more space to share with each other about our different energies, about sexuality and pleasure. To realize how much we are alike and have the same strengths, vulnerabilities, desires, fears and wishes.
MORNING PRACTICE:
Tandava mediation (4-all, morning practice)
Tandava is a meditation dance. In the Tandava dance you follow the way into yourself to feel, to get in contact with your own energy. Tandava brings you in contact with what can be felt at every moment. To accept what you find in yourself. It is the dance that leads you into a field of not-knowing, intuition and sensitivity.
EVENING EVENTS
Temple night
As we did last year we will prepare a temple evening and hold space together with other teachers. For us it is important that everybody in the festival, with or without experience in tantra feels safe and welcome in our temple night.

- Psychology
Biodanza (Rolando Toro System)
Biodanza is a human integration system of organic renewal of affective re- education, and of re-learning of the life original functions. Its application consists in leading vivencias (vitality, sexuality, creativity, affectivity and transcendence potentials) through music, singing, movements and group encounter situations. Biodanza integration process is carried out through the stimulation of primordial functions connected to life that allows every single person to be integrated with himself, with species and universe.
Biodanza was created in the 1960s by the Chilean anthropologist and psychologist Rolando Toro, the Biodanza system is now found in 54 countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Spain, Chile, France, Norway, Germany, Italy, Japan, South Africa, Uruguay, Netherlands, United Kingdom, United States, Colombia, Venezuela, and Belgium. Biodanza encompasses a central Foundation, a set of schools, thousands of teachers, operating as individual businesses trained to the model who are linked by a non-profit Federation to which they pay annual dues, engaging with hundreds of thousands of enthusiastic dancers around the world.
Workshops
1. Love, Sexuality & Erotism
"Set your life on fire, seek those who fan your flames. " Rumi
Sexuality represents the primordial energy pattern of power, beauty enthusiasm and passion. It lives through the original thirst that our species has of pleasure and well-being. Its translated by the impulse to delve deep into the world of sensations. It is guided by the compass that lives in our heart connecting us with the need/desire to give and receive love. So the first step is the recognize that love is an art, just as life is an art, “if we want to learn how to love, we have to do what we would do if we wanted to learn music or painting” (Erich Fromm) . Erotism its a transgression of sexuality, it does with sexuality what the poetry does with words...
2. HumAnimal
“No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed” CLARISSA PINKOLA ESTES
We can only be human to the same extension that we recognize our animal nature. I propose that we can explore this ancient dimension and from there make a path to Sensitiveness. May the Savage and the Sensitive inhabit each one of us with maximum power and the most beautiful of harmonies.
3. The King (Just For Men)
King as a mediator, a bridge, synthesis agent, able to marry Heaven and Earth in the tabernacle of the heart - can be a real "axis-mundi" as called Mircea Eliade, developing the quality of knowing to dive into the realm of Transcendence and maintaining the connection with the opacity of worldly affairs. The King is assumed also as an inspiring example "as led the King, well behaved the Kingdom," the saying goes.
An identity that integrates the King in its fullness is synonymous of a being who takes his responsibility (ability to respond) to the phenomenon of Being Alive either the personal path or in its collective and indivisible vast cosmic dimension.
4. The Art ot Touch
The skin is what binds us and what separates us from the world. Everything that exists has a purpose integrated into the great wise plan of life. The skin is part of that mystical plan! If we have sensitive skin and not feathers or scales, it is because our sensitivity is part of Life's intelligence. Listen! The skin clearly tells me how you feel, how you live, how you love and how you are loved. We want to Promote: Understanding that Touch is a Bridge for Ecstasy |Create the the path from contact to caress | Learn how to give and receive feedback | Understand the physiology of touch and caress |Affective equalization between giving and receiving | Reveal myself in the space of intimacy | Ability to put limits on what is toxic | Create Nutritional Bonds

- Dynamic Tantra
What is Dynamic Tantra?
Dynamic Tantra is my vision to integrate the ancient Tantric practices in our contemporary life: in a dynamic, playful and soulful way.
Start with the Body
We are so overwhelmed by TV, commercials, social media, working routines, that our minds often struggle to keep up and our natural capacity to connect with our body is simply lost.
However, the body is the natural doorway to the human experience, not the mind.
Because of that, a more dynamic approach to the Tantric techniques is necessary for those that cannot just simply sit up, meditate and connect with their bodies.
A safe, juicy, space
Osho said: “First, be happy”. If we are completely happy, no meditation, no technique is needed to reach your pure, blissful being.
Dynamic Tantra was born with the idea to create an experience that would be easily accessible for all levels, from beginners to advanced meditators, and to have fun with it! Relaxing into it, like going to a party, even if it’s a party of one.
I set myself the task of formulating a structure that would provide a safe environment for people to freely access their own inner space in a playful, funky and dynamic way.
In these collective experiences, we practice together how to:
- Dedramatize sexuality, freeing ourselves from our limiting beliefs.
- Learn to treat our body with respect.
- Bring more awareness to increase our ability to love and to be loved.
- Recognize our body as our true temple.
- Learn the art of letting go through deep relaxation.
- Let our vital energy flow freely.
- Regain confidence in oneself, in others and in life.
- Become familiar with the issues of choice, to become more aware of our limits and to respect ourselves.
- Discover and harmonize our inner male and female polarity.
- Build responsibly our own energy using the three keys: Breath, Movement and Sound
Over the last year, I have created and conceived several Dynamic tantra experiences in Berlin, following closely each of the participants of our workshops to understand and identify the most effective ways to bring people into relaxation, blissfulness and embodiment of their powerful true nature. During this festival, you are invited to experience them all together in one week:
- Come as you are! - An invitation to discover the sublime combination of aliveness and consciousness which are the essence of Tantra
- he Chakra Spectrum - An inner journey through the technology of the chakras
- The Loving Touch - A multi sensorial journey through the dimension of Touch
- Ecstasy Symphony - An invitation to discover your own version of Ecstasy
- The Secret Temple
SkyDancing Tantra School
SkyDancing Tantra teaches us to choose with awareness what brings us pleasure and joy, thus opening the door to a deeper connection with spirit and a greater sense of aliveness and well-being. The practice of SkyDancing Tantra enables us to overcome feelings of separation and create a sense of union with yourself, others, and the world. The body relaxes, the heart opens and the mind becomes clearer and more focused. When this integration takes place, we are ready for a new sexual and spiritual experience in which physical/sensual pleasure becomes a celebration of the heart and an ecstasy of the spirit. Ultimately, the SkyDancing path provides a model for cultivating the Tantric way of life – helping us awaken to our ecstatic potential, embrace our own vital powers, enliven sensuality, awaken spirituality, and create a more fulfilling love life.
SkyDancing is the ancient metaphor for the ability to achieve ecstatic states. SkyDancing Tantra is the ability to integrate these ecstatic states into our sexuality and into our lives, so that love can be experienced as a flow, a joyful celebration, a healing meditation. SkyDancing Tantra presents the Tantric paradigm through methods accessible to the Western culture and lifestyle.
SkyDancing International is a collective of Institutes and Teachers of Tantra that convey the teaching of the tantric lineage created by Margot Anand. SkyDancing Tantra is a school of Tantra, that is to say it offers people an individual path to transform their vision and approach to life. SkyDancing carries no dogma. Learning is above all experimental. Like any tantric approach, SkyDancing's teaching focuses on awareness and energy (vitality). Interaction between participants, such as sexual energy, is seen as a tool for access to consciousness and vitality and not as an end in itself.
SkyDancing offers tools that allow students to become aware of their conditioning and blockages and to enter into a process of personal evolution and profound transformation. SkyDancing provides a safe and caring environment for everyone to learn and evolve at their own pace. The proposed experiences are original and stimulating: it's the experience of a lifetime. An absolute freedom to enter or not into the practices is left to the students. The pace of each is respected.
Workshops
1. A SYNESTHETIC JOURNEY IN THE FLUIDITY OF THE TANTRIC SPACE - L'ASSOLUTO NATURALE
Inspired by the genius and the opera of Italian composer Ennio Morricone, a delicate, exquisite, synesthetic journey into the Tantric dimension with a little Italian vibe.
This workshop will be a full sensorial dive into emotions and feelings of any kind.
The term "synesthesia" refers to those situations in which an auditory, olfactory, tactile, or visual stimulation is perceived as two different but coexisting sensory events.
Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in whichstimulationof one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway.
In the world of art is a well-known experience.
The painter, Vasilij Kandinskij, claimed to hear the voice of colors, which were sounds and living entities, as he explains well in his book The spiritual in art.
More indicative of an actual presence of synaesthesia is the case in which perceiving a stimulus (such as sound), we have a precise and proper reaction of another sense (for example, sight)
The phenomenon is involuntary, but if we pay attention to it, with greater awareness, we can be able to take advantage of this sensorial contamination and move into its space.
After studying the work of the Italian composer Ennio Morricone, I had the idea to create a Tantric workshop around his compositions, universally recognized as some of humanity's most sublime creations and legacy.
And because many of them are soundtracks, they fit the concept of synesthesia very well.
In this workshop, you will see the sounds, hear the colours, touch the space, connect with your body and others in unusual and unexpected forms.
Be prepared to live a cinematic experience, a kaleidoscope of sensations, where all your senses will play the soundtrack of your life.
2. GREEN RIVER – DYNAMIC TANTRA AND THE POETICAL FLOW OF TOUCH.
All of us have been touched before, but how many of us can say that we've actually felt touched?
So often, touch becomes an unconscious reflex.
In sexuality, touch is often used as a strategy to build excitement but not always experienced to increase consciousness and connection.
There's a difference between being aware of the other person's touch and feeling it in your body, with your mind and your heart. Conscious touch is more than skin-on-skin contact; it requires awareness of mind, body, and spirit and an open channel to experience something beyond simple physical stimulation.
Giving massage is more than touching someone deeply; it's about being present in your own body and paying attention to what you're feeling. A tantric massage is a form of meditation; by getting in touch with your hands, you allow them to become receptive conduits.
Connecting with your partner is about connecting with yourself. Your partner will feel far more than massaging fingers: they'll feel that you are entirely present during their experience.
Tantric massage uses conscious touch to connect, heal and deepen relationships. It promotes healing through sexual energy and spiritually connects you with yourself and others. It involves focusing on compassion, love, freedom, and empowerment—all essential elements of any healthy relationship.
Letting go into conscious touch is a great way to bring both partners into harmony and an excellent way to let go of the ego and surrender to pleasure; the flow of energy between you and your partner through touch alone can be very powerful.
Touch has three main aspects: Location, Speed, and Pressure.
Using these three main factors and asking feedback from the receiver, we can build a language that allows the giver and receiver to navigate more freely in the flow of giving and receiving pleasure.
Using this precise language empowers us to ask for exactly what we want. And by being clear, we help the giver relax into their sensations and emotions, confident that they are giving an enjoyable touch.
The key as givers is to attune ourselves to the other person and develop our intuition to give them the most pleasurable touch possible. And doing this without attachment to the effect is essential to staying present.
But touch is not only the way we connect to each other.
Breathing is the way the air touches our bodies.
Sight is the way we touch the world.
Gravity is the way the Earth touches us.
Touch is a precious gift whose mystery and potential sometimes we are not fully aware of. Touch can be an immense source of pleasure and discovery and a powerful tool to transmit presence.
This dynamic tantric journey will open our senses and awareness to the whole experience of the flow of touch.
In a safe and playful space, we will explore the conscious touch, poetic touch, loving touch, and universal touch and eventually understand that WE ARE LOVE, expanding the Range of Sensation and Emotion.
"The body is a mystery in the whole of existence; this mystery needs to be loved." (OSHO)
3. ROBOT JOX. RESER AUTOMATIC PATTERNS WITH DYNAMIC TANTRA
Sometimes we live our life on a two-dimensional level.
We may often become a little robotic and automatic in our interactions during our everyday life and routine.
The root causes can be many. Stressful working habits, relationship issues, unhealthy behaviors that in the long run can determine a chronic, automatic attitude to the way we respond in life.
We will examine, process, and release many of these inner and outer movements with the practice of tantric techniques in a playful, dynamic, and easy-going attitude.
The word Tantra stems from the root "tan," meaning to stretch, as a piece of fabric does when woven into cloth. As such, Tantra can expand your mind and make you more aware of how your mind operates on an unconscious level and stop unconsciously repeating automatic patterns of thinking, feeling, or behaving.
Tantric exercise can rewire your mind by introducing new ways of seeing yourself and others around you, reshaping neural pathways more quickly than simply sitting still. And once you experience how beneficial these methods truly are – you'll never want to stop!
Through meditation, Tantra teaches consciously disengage from harmful, negative thought patterns. Tantric meditation methods teach us how to watch and not react to thoughts as they arise. The ability to do so helps us free ourselves from habits of negatively rehashing life events over and over again in our minds and consequently in our actions and bodies: ruminating about problems that have happened or worrying about things that haven't yet happened; berating ourselves; dwelling on fears; engaging in fantasy; getting caught up in memories of past pleasures or future worries.
The key to understanding Tantra as dynamic therapy lies in realizing that, far from being static, it's a dynamic, living process. It's unceasing and (you might say) ever-changing. And because of that dynamism, it offers us something powerful: the chance to consciously transform ourselves into more joyful beings, awakening our sensual potentiality.
When we start to bring the conscious into the unconscious, transformation begins.
In this Dynamic Tantra experience, we will practice together how to:
- Dedramatize sexuality, freeing ourselves from our limiting beliefs.
- Learn to treat our bodies with respect.
- Bring more awareness to increase our ability to love and be loved.
- Recognize our body as our true temple.
- Learn the art of letting go through deep relaxation.
- Let our vital energy flow freely.
- Regain confidence in oneself, in others, and life.
- Become familiar with the issues of choice, become more aware of our limits, and respect ourselves.
- Discover and harmonize our inner male and female polarity.
- Build our energy responsibly using the three keys: Breath, Movement, and Sound
Once you have experienced stepping out of the robotic mind, always there judging and complaining, you will be finally in charge, as the true pilot of yourself, bringing awareness, understanding, and presence into your everyday mindset.
This workshop is for everybody, singles, couples, beginners, and advanced. It features different approaches from Tantra, Meditation, and Body-based therapy that will help you see clearly through your recurring actions and eventually release, on a body-mind level, tensions that are no longer serving you in your evolution.
This workshop is not about technology and electronic gadgets but about enjoying humanity at its fullest.
If you have never practiced Tantra, it could also be your first step into a new world.
4. THE INNER MYSTIQUE. A PSYCHODELIC JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE BODY
The Universe is full of energy fields beyond what we can perceive. If we tap into those energy fields, we may alter our consciousness and enter an altered state.
This sonic tantric psychedelic workshop is designed to transport you on a fantastic trip through the centre of your body. This journey is about who you are and how you will transform yourself in the Tantric process.
First, it is better to leave the old behind so that something new can occupy the body.
Then, an essential requirement for transformation is Relaxation.
We will practice some techniques that will open up with fluidity areas of the body that generally are not enough considered and restore the normal energy flow through the healing practice of Breath, Movement, and Sound.
Tantra means expansion (of consciousness) and is often intended as working with energy to expand into new modes of awareness and connection.
Because Tantra is also a practice where you see yourself as a mirror reflected image, we will experiment and enhance this vision through different perspectives and interactions.
It is not the seeking of the extraordinary but the discovery of the simplicity and the ordinary that allows you to express yourself to have your creativity in small things, in what is already part of your life.
And it is the joy coming out that makes things different, takes a new quality, and makes precious everything you do, making you discover that this is at the origin of everything, that Inner Mystique where everything comes from.
In other words, if you learn how to harness those energies and concentrate them in a specific area, then you could use that energy to expand your mental capacity and enter another dimension.
With a playful, creative, and soulful approach, I invite you to flower in the space of Meditation to enjoy the natural, free flow of Energy and Awareness in your body, to ultimately discover your Fullness and the explosive Vitality that resides in the core of your being.
And finally, discover your Inner Mystique.
EVENING RITUAL
ELECTRIC LATIHAN. A THEREMIN GUIDED SPACE RITUAL.
"When you come to zero, when you come to nothingness, at that moment there is a vibration" (Bapak Subuh)
Latihan is a profound healing practice. It consists of finding the spontaneous movement of the body when it is not guided by will.
This practice aims at harmonizing the different aspects of our Being: body, emotions, mind, and soul. It creates a space where the mind no longer controls the body.
This elementary practice of non-action opens a direct channel between the body and deeper and deeper levels or quality of consciousness, a link between body and spirituality.
In this workshop, we will experience the traditional form of Latihan combined with a more interactive and modern technique improved with the use of the Theremin, a musical instrument played without physical contact, all cast into the frame of a cosmic space ritual.
What is Latihan
Latihan means "spiritual exercise" or "training of the spirit."
It originated in Indonesia by Bapak Muhammad Subuh, the founder of Subud, and then spread in the West by Georgy Gurdjieff.
It must be practiced without expectations or logical thoughts; let the body become an empty vessel, a hollow bamboo.
Latihan is a form of active meditation adopted by Osho too.
It is a powerful healing practice that improves concentration and releases suppressed emotions, opening your heart and allowing the flow of life force (prana) through the whole body to remove all energy blocks.
It can also be supportive in managing depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, and addiction.
Latihan heals you mentally and physically. It is a training of the spirit, surrendering to a higher source. This complete surrender is the key to enhancing your inner force, so you may start making better decisions, improving control over emotions, and reducing pain and suffering all over your daily life.
You have not to do anything; be there and wait for something to happen and if your body starts moving, let it move with fluidity; let this movement expand outside and inside, feeling yourself pulsating with the universe.
When in Latihan, you enter a space of nothingness, which helps you drop the ego and sense of identity and become present in the now.
Just surrender to existence, and when the universal spirit inspires you to move, release self-control and enjoy your natural ability of well-being.
Surrender to the Universal Spirit, and let it inspire you to move spontaneously, remain a witness and let your body be an instrument in the Electric Latihan.
What is Theremin
Theremin, also called Etherophone, is an electronic musical instrument invented in 1920 in the Soviet Union by Leon Theremin.
It consists of a box with radio tubes producing oscillations at two sound-wave frequencies above the range of hearing; together, they create a lower audible frequency equal to the difference in their rates of vibration.
Pitch is controlled by moving the hand toward or away from an antenna at the right rear of the box. This movement alters one of the inaudible frequencies. Harmonics, or component tones, of the sound can be filtered out, allowing the production of several tone colors over a range of six octaves.
The American composer Henry Cowell and the French American composer Edgard Varèse have written for the Theremin. The instrument was used in recordings by the American rock group the Beach Boys and in the soundtracks of several science fiction films
I will combine these two elements in this event, creating a new concept of Tantric meditation where each participant will have their individual experience and will be able, at some point, to interact and connect with others.
With the help of technology, you will experience a different form of Latihan.

The Path of Transformation: Tantra and Shamanism (John Hawken)
John Hawken has over 30 years’ experience running transforming and life enhancing personal growth groups in Europe.
Learning to experience energy, in yourself, others and the world, is the key to awareness and presence, and the power to create your dream as your reality, in beauty, in freedom from fear and with integrity. We invite you to surrender to the streamings of life, to expand your potential for excitement and for sensitivity, to live with more aliveness and awareness, and to balance your desire with accepting the truth of the moment.
The paths of transformation consist of six different paths for personal growth and life transformation:\
The Tantric path
Tantra is the path for anyone who wants to open to life more and who is interested in developing their own personality in the area of energy, consciousness, creativity and sexuality. The Tantric Path heals the separation between the heart, spirit and sex and allows us to feel the sacredness inside of us again.
The Path of Touch - tantric massage
Touch is a vital form of nourishment and affirmation, and sensual massage a way of communicating non-verbally and directly. To receive a tantra massage is to be initiated into tantric experience and tantric consciousness. Often tantra massage can be the first contact with energy and the energy body and the potential of expanding sexual energy into the whole body.
The Path of Energy - Bioenergetics
How we embody and express our energy makes our psyche and our patterns of reactions to life visible. We hold in our bodies the energy we dared not express when we were vulnerable children, both as a tension in the muscles and as a charge of energy in the organs and connective tissue. This fixed form of expression and defence is called our character. It is our social, adapted self, and blocks and represses our spontaneous flow of life energy, our wildness, including large amounts of our sexuality and creativity.
The Shamanic Path - Contemporary Shamanism
Shamanism studies our energetic connection to everything around us, the elements, the minerals, plants and animals, and especially the spirit connections, including to our ancestors, our karma and our sacred dream. We develop our ability to perceive energy and spirit through our energy body, the awareness of which brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. John Hawken teaches in the beauty way in the tradition of the Twisted Hairs medicine teachings he studied with Arwyn Dreamwalker.
The Path of Pilgrimage
The ancient tradition of pilgrimage creates change by letting a journey through an outer landscape become a mirror to stimulate an inner journey through an inner landscape. We work strongly with the four elements to create soul alchemy, and in the power places of the world to open the gateways between outside and inside, between macrocosm and microscosm. These power places once experienced become a resource in the soul memory to which the pilgrim can return at any time.
The Path of Dark Eros
Dark Eros is the transformation of fear and guilt and of anger and blaming. It is the exploration of existential, first-chakra based sexuality. The fundamental question is, is the basis of our life fear or pleasure? Fear is excitement with contraction, as every horror film buff or rollercoaster fan knows, pleasure on the other hand is excitement with relaxation and expansion.

Workshops
1. Awaken your Power
Do you feel that you could live more, fuller and deeper? Do you want freedom,
wildness, love and fulfilment?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, you are not satisfied with “normal” and you do not want to repeat the mistakes of your ancestors or fit in with the forms created by others.
You want to live on your own terms! This workshop is for you!
Tantra has always been the path of the rebels. For those who don't want to comply with the rigid rules and norms of society. It is a path of conscious CHOICE and direct experience.
First of all, it is a vibrant path. The very word "Tantra" means "weaving", weaving various paths, schools, teachers.
Based on ancient tantric tools I combine them with the latest achievements of modern therapies and neuroscience. Thus my TantraWay offers you countless ways to learn how to live happier, how to deal with adversities, how to find love, build and develop relationships, and live free from limiting beliefs, consciously choosing what is best for you and everyone around you.
As a bodyworker, I know that body doesn’t lie. I want to show you the simplest and easiest ways to understand Tantra – through your body.
This workshop is an invitation to the world of Tantra. You will experience your body as a flow of energy, energy that can contract and take various forms. You will learn to expand beyond the forms and flow with the ocean of limitless possibilities.
During the workshop you will:
- Learn to notice how you contract your energy in order to fulfil the needs and expectations of others, and how you can choose to change that
- Learn how to move and allow energy to feel more alive.
- Explore the tantric alchemy of focussing your consciousness to create the forms of energy that serve your sacred dream and your soul purpose.
- Learn how to cultivate your energy body in order to participate in the mysteries of love, sex, relationship, spirit and connection.
- Discover that at any moment you can CHOOSE joy, gratitude, love and rapture without rejecting challenges and difficult emotions
- Learn to flow with the orgasmic energy in a relaxing bliss
This experiential workshop combines basic Tantric concepts, breathwork, bioenergetics and meditation.
Workshop for beginners and others who want to understand the principles of Tantra. No nudity.
2. Tantra Latihan Massage
Touch me with your hands, eyes, presence, touch me with love.
This massage is a meeting between the two of you and the cosmos, between you two and the whole of existence. It helps you to merge, melt, and let go on the deepest level possible.
We all need conscious touch and pleasure, just as we need air, I and water. This workshop will give you permission to immerse yourself in a pleasant exchange of conscious, sensual and erotic touch in a safe space for healing, transformation and even ecstatic experiences.
Intimacy and connection are born in the heart. Tantric touch cuts through the busy mind, allowing direct communication from heart to heart, body to body, soul to soul. Tantric touch is a communication without words, pure presence and feeling, where there is no room for thoughts, fears and tensions. At this point, we can truly relax to discover each other experiencing pleasure and bliss.
Latihan means to give up control and allow cosmic energy move through you, so you are not the doer anymore. You are simply allowing cosmic consciousness to flow through you, surrendering to the energy of existence. Moment to moment, you don’t know what the next movement will be. In effect you are unwinding of all that you are not, leaving you saturated with cosmic essence.
During this workshop you can allow yourself to immerse in a pleasant exchange of conscious, sensual, erotic touch in a safe space for healing, transformation and bliss.
We'll cover the following aspects of Tantric Touch:
- The essentials:
- Consent to touch
- Giving and taking, receiving and allowing touch
- Types of conscious touch
- Communicating needs and experiences
- Letting go of control and connecting to existence
- Sensual erotic Latihan Massage
"When I touch you with love, it is not my hand that touches you… my hand is only a tool.
By touching, I remember who is touching, who is inside. "
OSHO
Workshop for singles and couples Freya creates a safe space in which you can relax and open to experiencing pleasure and touch. Please come to the workshop with a person you will be working throughout the whole workshop.
This workshop is authorised by the Paths of Transformation of John Hawken, where Freya is co-teaching with The Art of tantric Massage with John Hawken.
Workshop for intermediary and advanced, nudity optional.
3. Dark Eros – healing fear, guilt & shame to live free.
Do you miss the intensity of your experiences? Does guilt or shame obscure your sexuality? Do you feel anxious or paralyzed when a situation becomes "too" sexual?
Dark Eros first is about you, yourself, about the feeling of who you are. About your existence. About being. About discovering your wild child – your independence.
Transgressing the rules of being the good boy or good girl.
Dark Eros is a term describing sexuality which is connected with our first chakra rather than with the second; sexuality that arises from existential issues rather than from pure pleasure, love and contact. In Dark Eros we explore this erotic drive of the first chakra – what it is that satisfy our deepest and highest, spiritual needs. The transformation and empowerment of transgressing fear of authority, fear of punishment into a wild, bold breaker of rules, transgressor of boundaries.
Main topics of Dark Eros are:
- Experiencing and taking your personal power.
- Punishment which is empowering
- Being in the Energy. Not withdrawing it in need for approval and out of existential threats
- About transgression and recognition of your personal power
- Embodying yourself as individuals.
- Healing fear, shame and guilt that control us from within
- Experiencing our power as daring, being transgressive, wild
During this experiential workshop we will taste some of the themes, of power over an power under in a guided group experience.
Then we will experience a transgressive massage “Playing the body as and instrument” using whips.
The body is the instrument, like a cello, and the energy is the music. The whip is the bow with which we move the energy. This is a movement of transformation. The whip is normally an instrument of power and punishment and we will be transforming it into an instrument for moving energy.
This workshop is authorised by the Paths of Transformation of John Hawken, where Freya is co-teaching with John Hawken.
Workshop for intermediary and advanced, nudity optional.
4. Awaken the Queen within & Unleash Your Feminine Power
"It’s time for a queen to rise."
The time has come for you to overcome adversities and follow your dreams with self-confidence to become the Queen of your life.
The Awakened Queen is a woman in her strength, accepting all her existence, body, spirituality, sensitivity and courage, weakness and power. Trust in your inner royal highness. Just as Queen Cleopatra ruled Egypt, you too have a kingdom - if you dare to conquer it. This kingdom is your body and your life.
How to open up to the flow of energy in your body, how to discover your feminine power?
Awaken Your Inner Queen workshop will help you discover your feminine power, the divine Shakti energy. It will remind you to come back to your dreams, your true feminine essence, the passion, ecstasy and harmony that your heart longs for.

Adrian was born in France and started his journey with music in his early 20’s. He was learning guitar, piano and many other instruments by himself. First band was a French songs repertoire for which he was writing and composing. Very Fast he grew his music skills into flamenco, French gypsy jazz, Klezmer, middle eastern music.
In France, he released an album in 2009 with his trio “meridiano”. Mixture of gypsy jazz and flamenco, they performed for several years on stage in France and Europe. Then his music journey took a whole different dimension when he start traveling in solo all over the world.
His first “pilgrimage” to India has transformed his perspective on music. Recorded studio album in 2011 in Jaipur (india) with Rajasthani musicians and later another album in Mexico 2012 with “The Soul Fire Project”.
This great travel in all Europe, Balkan country, Greece, Turkey, Middle East, Asia, India, and Mexico inspired him and gave a great shift to his approach to music!
A powerful experience brought him to engage himself deeply on spiritual path, he stopped music for 5 years and dedicated his life to practice of meditation, tantra, shamanism and yoga.
Since then he came back to music with a different approach and created this project “Mystic loop”.
For Adrian, music is very sacred and a spiritual practice itself. He perceived the power of transmission through his music to the audience which can awake deeper aspect of their being.
Mystic Loop Project
The concert "Mystic Loop" isn't just a concert, it's a very touching experience in which the audience often report to have been carried away and connected to a more subtle level of their being.
"It’s a travel in the whole world in one song, an orchestra in one body, a whisper from the soul."
We dive deep into the multilayered auditory experience of the loop station, acoustic instruments, beatbox groove and voice.
The Idea of this project is based on improvisation, spontaneity and channelling. Therefore the performance is always unique. The same seed songs are performed but always with variations specific to the moment and the audience.
Like no other, Adrian blends with virtuosity the sounds of Indian Sitar, Guitar, Indian bansuri (flute), Violin and duduk (Armenia). He takes you on the journey in his mystic universe with flavours of Indian classical, world gypsy, shamanic, mantras, middle eastern..
Being as well yogi, Adrian approaches music as a spiritual journey.

This is about getting great exercise, freeing your mind and body, and connecting with yourself and others in vibrant health. Ecstatic Dance empowers people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds to freely express themselves; the liberating atmosphere creates a melting pot of acceptance and the fearlessness with which others move gives newbies permission and courage to dance without inhibition.

WORKSHOPS
1. Sacred Magic Lovemaking (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
Experience the different flavors of your life force energy and meet each other on a new deep
sacred level.
Many are familiar with the expression of the sexuel flavor of our lifeforce energy because it
can have a strong charge. But did you know that our life force energy can have different
essences or flavors?
In Sacred Magic lovemaking we will explore how we can relate and connect from different
levels of our energetic being. We will guide you on a journey through your body. Experiencing
and embodying the different flavors of life force energy. Feeling our own energy and the
energy of the other. Connecting on multiple levels, deepening and enriching our intimate
connections.
Sacred - Sacredness supports the experience of being safe and allows for higher guidance. In a
sacred space we can expand consciousness on how we relate energetically
Magic - Inviting magic gets you out of the mind and theory. Allowing mystery to enter the
creation of connection. Magic is using your intention and imagination for manifestation.
Lovemaking - Making love is to open yourself to be vulnerable and allow yourself to be moved.
This can either be by yourself or by another.
In this workshop half of the exercises are done in the group and the other half are done with a
partner. There will be no nudity or genital touch in this workshop. Lovemaking will only be
practised energetically through meditation, with yourself or a partner.
The workshop welcomes singles and couples. Couples are allowed to choose which exercises
they want to do together. Singles can form an occasional coupling at the workshop. You are
always in charge of the level of intimacy you share with others. All genders are welcome and
we embrace gender fluidity. We will not try to control the gender balance in the signup,
which means that you potentialy can end up forming a duo of same sex gender.
- Context : fully dressed
- Form : Breathwork, Movement and Meditation
2. Energetic massage and healing/ Sexual dearmouring (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
Inviting the body's energetic highway to get a free flow off our sexual energy by releasing
blockages and armour in the energetic body using basic sexual dearmouring tools
De armouring is an ancient science that has been existing as long as humans have been on
earth. De armouring is an embodied therapeutic healing praxis and process where you release
armour, tensions, blockages, traumas and emotions from your body. Armour is built in the
body from childhood trauma, everyday stress, fears, overwhelming emotional experiences and
karmic pain. De armouring allows us to let go of unhealthy patterns, old pain and locked
emotions that may be energetically trapped in our body.
- Context : dressed,
- Form : Breathwork, sound, touch and movement
3. Authentic Tantric Attraction & Relating (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
Guided playful workshop in creating deeper connection to self and others. In a tantra festival
space many couples can be triggered. Through this workshop we will invite and inspire
through embodied exercises to get more connected, real, alive, centered, intimate and
compassionate in connection with your partner and others.
All humans long for connection, belonging and deep intimacy. When connecting with other
humans we often project our own reality and judge by the perception of our world. The
outcome of this is often separation instead of connection. When we welcome our and others'
expression, emotion and experience in a sustainable, safe and compassionate way, True
healing connection and intimacy is created.
In this workshop we learn to investigate our assumptions and get more real in our connection
with others. We will be revealing your inner desires and fears in a transparent and safe way.
Owning our triggers, fears and experience, while still honoring others' experience and
expression. Exploring the archetypal energy of the masculine and feminine polarity
★ Context : dressed
★ Form : Games, Movement and play
4. Your sexual magic beast - and how to find it (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
We will be creating a safe container to explore our primal sexual magical expression, through
dance, play and meditation.
What does your inner sexual magic beast look like? How does it express itself?
In this playful workshop we will guide you to connect to your inner sexual magical beast.
Anything is possible … use magic. Maybe you even have more than one beast, maybe it can
transition between different states of being.
How would you meet the world with this expression of you ? Without the conformity of
society. What does it feel like to be the predator or prey ? Which element does your beast
thrive in ? What does your beast mating dance look like ?
We will be moving, playing and mediating while roaring like lions, posing like unicorns, flying
like dragons and relating like reptiles.
★ Context : dressed
★ Form : Dance, games and play
5. The Two spirited (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
Embracing the indigenious no gender binary philosophy, called gender fluidity. A safe space
where we can curiously investigate our gender roles and polarities beyond our physical
genitals in a free playful flow .
Native Americans have often held androgynous people in the highest respect. The most
common term to define such persons today is to refer to them as "two-spirit" people. A
person's basic character is a reflection of their spirit. Since everything that exists is thought
to come from the spirit world, androgynous or transgender persons are seen as doubly
blessed, having both the spirit of a man and the spirit of a woman.
Let us for a while forget what gender we identify as. Playfully we will investigate the polarity
of Femininity and Masculinity. Through dance, play and touch. Leaving the gender box outside
the workshop space.
When am I feminine when am I masculine? Allowing us to have any gender expression that we
truly feel in the present moment. How would it be to experience a free flowing gender
fluidity on an energetic level ? How do you express it? Liberate yourself from the conformed
gender roles and sexual orientation.
★ Context : dressed
★ Form : Dance and play
6. The Orgasmic Wave (facilitators: Amosoma)
In this meditation you will be guided through dance, movement, breathwork and meditation
to connect your body's natural wave of ecstasy, expansion and orgasm.
In this workshop we will connect, vibrate and balance our vagus nerve, psoas muscle and
pelvic diaphragm. We will be moving with our body's intuitive core orgasmic wave and
experience a full body feeling of ecstasy and blissful being. In this state we can enter the
silent orgasm as a divine afterglow and meditative state of presence and being.
Life on earth came from water and the human spine is made for making waves. When we are
just a few weeks old in our mothers womb we basically look like a spine that moves in waves.
As children we move with gracefulness and expres freely with our body. Many of us lose
connection to our gracefulness and 'wave' through conditioning and trauma in our lives. The
body needs to feel safe to be able to circle our sexual energy to the whole physical and
energetic body.
- Context : dressed,
- Form : Dance, Breathwork, Movement and Meditation
7. Wild Women (facilitators: Amosoma)
A woman's workshop with dance, primal expression, surrender, breathwork and integration
Allow to explore and play with new or known territories of the feminine, ecstasy,
vulnerability, rawness and pleasure. I invite you to explore, express, expand and surrender
into the wild feminine nature within. Sensing life force energy in our bodies, Shining light on
all that we are – radiance and shadows, being safely held by sisterhood and witnessed in our
collective healing.

and embodying the different flavors of life force energy. Feeling our own energy and the
energy of the other. Connecting on multiple levels, deepening and enriching our intimate
connections.
Sacred - Sacredness supports the experience of being safe and allows for higher guidance. In a
sacred space we can expand consciousness on how we relate energetically
Magic - Inviting magic gets you out of the mind and theory. Allowing mystery to enter the
creation of connection. Magic is using your intention and imagination for manifestation.
Lovemaking - Making love is to open yourself to be vulnerable and allow yourself to be moved.
This can either be by yourself or by another.
In this workshop half of the exercises are done in the group and the other half are done with a
partner. There will be no nudity or genital touch in this workshop. Lovemaking will only be
practised energetically through meditation, with yourself or a partner.
The workshop welcomes singles and couples. Couples are allowed to choose which exercises
they want to do together. Singles can form an occasional coupling at the workshop. You are
always in charge of the level of intimacy you share with others. All genders are welcome and
we embrace gender fluidity. We will not try to control the gender balance in the signup,
which means that you potentialy can end up forming a duo of same sex gender.

2. Energetic massage and healing/ Sexual dearmouring (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
Inviting the body's energetic highway to get a free flow off our sexual energy by releasing
blockages and armour in the energetic body using basic sexual dearmouring tools
De armouring is an ancient science that has been existing as long as humans have been on
earth. De armouring is an embodied therapeutic healing praxis and process where you release
armour, tensions, blockages, traumas and emotions from your body. Armour is built in the
body from childhood trauma, everyday stress, fears, overwhelming emotional experiences and
karmic pain. De armouring allows us to let go of unhealthy patterns, old pain and locked
emotions that may be energetically trapped in our body.

3. Authentic Tantric Attraction & Relating (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
Guided playful workshop in creating deeper connection to self and others. In a tantra festival
space many couples can be triggered. Through this workshop we will invite and inspire
through embodied exercises to get more connected, real, alive, centered, intimate and
compassionate in connection with your partner and others.
All humans long for connection, belonging and deep intimacy. When connecting with other
humans we often project our own reality and judge by the perception of our world. The
outcome of this is often separation instead of connection. When we welcome our and others'
expression, emotion and experience in a sustainable, safe and compassionate way, True
healing connection and intimacy is created.
In this workshop we learn to investigate our assumptions and get more real in our connection
with others. We will be revealing your inner desires and fears in a transparent and safe way.
Owning our triggers, fears and experience, while still honoring others' experience and
expression. Exploring the archetypal energy of the masculine and feminine polarity
★ Context : dressed
★ Form : Games, Movement and play
4. Your sexual magic beast - and how to find it (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
We will be creating a safe container to explore our primal sexual magical expression, through
dance, play and meditation.
What does your inner sexual magic beast look like? How does it express itself?
In this playful workshop we will guide you to connect to your inner sexual magical beast.
Anything is possible … use magic. Maybe you even have more than one beast, maybe it can
transition between different states of being.
How would you meet the world with this expression of you ? Without the conformity of
society. What does it feel like to be the predator or prey ? Which element does your beast
thrive in ? What does your beast mating dance look like ?
We will be moving, playing and mediating while roaring like lions, posing like unicorns, flying
like dragons and relating like reptiles.
★ Context : dressed
★ Form : Dance, games and play
5. The Two spirited (facilitators: Asim & Amosoma)
Embracing the indigenious no gender binary philosophy, called gender fluidity. A safe space
where we can curiously investigate our gender roles and polarities beyond our physical
genitals in a free playful flow .
Native Americans have often held androgynous people in the highest respect. The most
common term to define such persons today is to refer to them as "two-spirit" people. A
person's basic character is a reflection of their spirit. Since everything that exists is thought
to come from the spirit world, androgynous or transgender persons are seen as doubly
blessed, having both the spirit of a man and the spirit of a woman.
Let us for a while forget what gender we identify as. Playfully we will investigate the polarity
of Femininity and Masculinity. Through dance, play and touch. Leaving the gender box outside
the workshop space.
When am I feminine when am I masculine? Allowing us to have any gender expression that we
truly feel in the present moment. How would it be to experience a free flowing gender
fluidity on an energetic level ? How do you express it? Liberate yourself from the conformed
gender roles and sexual orientation.
★ Context : dressed
★ Form : Dance and play
6. Masks & Shadows (Facilitators: Asim)
Playful dance workshop, exploring your Masks and Shadows
In this dynamic moving and dancing workshop we will:
By Dancing with several archetypal masks we explore our own Masks. Playfully find,
investigate, exaggerating our masks . How do I present myself? How do I react? To myself, the
other and the world? Is there a mask you want to take off?
Digging deeper in the shadows behind the masks we are finding our emotions. How do I relate
to my shadows and emotions, do I express them? hide them in the shadow? Do I keep it to
myself? Or dump them on others? Get ready to own and dance in your emotions.

Tantric Shamanistic Dance, shedding your old patterns and beliefs, meeting your essence and
transforming yourself into your own perfect being. Integrative workshop.
Coming into a trance with shamanic breathwork and walking on the fast beat of shamanic
drums,
In the skeleton dance, we peel off our body parts, stripping off all that we do not need.

free of your masks and shadows.

body parts we need; to become yourself, to be able to do what we have come to do.

2. Tree of Life meditation (facilitators: Asim)
Guided Meditation through the Kabbalistic tree of life
Our body is a meeting of consciousness with matter, in between earth and heaven. In the
ancient system of the Kabbalah, creation emanated into the 10 Sifrots, creative channels,
forming the tree of life. The 10 sifrots or creative channels can be found in the macrocosmos,
the microcosmos and in the human body and have a correspondence with the chakra system.
The tree of life can be seen as a roadmap for creation and can be found in our own living
being. In a guided meditation we explore the different levels and dimensions of our own
divine being to better understand our being and our personal needs.
★ Form : Breathwork and Meditation
3. Sacred Serpent meditation (facilitators: Asim)
Active energetic meditation through the chakras
Stirring up the serpent and guiding your life-force(sexual) energy through the chakras to unity.
Our being is organized along the dimensions of the 7 main chakras. Each chakra takes care of
a different part of our being. The chakras are fueled and influence each other through the
flow of prana, life-force energy.
The form of Life-force energy that is most known is sexual energy, due to its potent and
expressive nature. In the meditation we use the sexual energy of the 2nd chakra to explore
the chakra system, and how the (sexual) energy expresses itself on the different realms of the
chakras.
★ Form : Breathwork and Meditation

As a drummer, music producer and event facilitator I offer events, seminars and retreats as well as individual sessions. I mostly collaborate with partners like Dhwani W. Zapp, Shakya M. Grahe, Harshil Chiostri and others...
I trained with teachers like Arthur Hull, Frank Natale, Serge Kahili King and others, play music since the age of 12 and produce CD's with various world music projects and artists like Hamsafar, Prem Joshua, Snatam Kaur, Milarepa, Ashik, Subodha etc.. My own productions „Forget Your Limitations“ and „Shamans Return“ are widely used in workshops, classes and seminars as well as in discotheques and parties. With my band projects TranceFormation and The Call Of The Drums, I tour and play all over Europe.
In my shamanic retreats I create a save spiritual healing environment for personal insight and growth of inner power and wisdom. Using ancient rituals and techniques I invite people to reconnect to the deep wisdom of mother nature and the inner healer, guide and alliances.
Workshops
1. Shamanic Journey
The shamanic journey is in some ways very similar to a TranceDance experience. You go on an inner journey to find answers, healing, clarity, guidance - only this time you lay down on your back, in a safe, cosy environment, and you use the sound of the shaman's drum to travel inside or outside yourself. The drum is your vehicle to go on a journey. Again we use the blindfold, the breath of fire and the intention and search for our answers. Often we do this in a group, but I also offer these journeys for individuals, specially for delicate issues.
2. SHAMAN's RETURN - A shamanic healing meditation
Shamans Return is a 60 min. meditation in five stages in an easy format for the daily practice. It's a great way to shake and dance off the stress and pressure of a nine to five (or even more?) workday.... The music is tribal and rhythmic, transporting. Dynamic drums, percussions and voices support the first two active stages... Then the shamanic medicine drums take you onto their wings. Plus some soothing sounds of Sansula and monochord to get you back.
3. SHAMAN’S SHAKE - A Shamanic Cleansing Meditation
The Shaman's Shake is born from the insight, that shaking our body can release old tensions, caused by traumatic experiences. It is an ancient technique, used in many cultures, for healing and cleansing. Shaman's Shake contains 4 phases: Gibberish, Shaking, TranceDance and Stillness. All that with the music specially set for this meditation.
What is "shamanic", what is a shaman?
To me, a shamanic practice is about generating an atmosphere of healing. From the old language - healing comes from whole - so shamanic practice it is about becoming whole, or: to fill the hole(s). All shamanic ceremony, ritual and prayer, as well as many symbols are conceived as Medicine
Shamanic practice is based on the understanding that we - as human beings - are not seperate, but part of nature/existence, and therefore we find everything we need to stay healthy and/or to become whole again - in nature, in ourselves - open and responsible. To me, all healing is about Traumas - wounds of shock that mostly happened in our childhood as well as in war or other turmoils of live.
A shaman is someone with an inner drive to support himself and others to reconnect to their own inner power, to become whole and powerful.
20 years ago I met Frank Natale. Frank was a pioneer in the field of personal growth and self-awareness seminars and helped in many ways to take the shamanic / spiritual aproach back into our western culture.
In his trainings I reconnected with many of my long forgotten childhood memories about nature and spirit and got inspired to share this knowledge and the techniques I learned.
I offer trancedance, shamanic journeys, meditations and various other techniques and practices for spiritual growth and self healing, on my own as well as with various partners. Since I'm a musician, I always use live music for most of the events to support the quality of "being in the moment", in the "Here and Now". Besides - the quality of live music, played on real instruments in real time helps people to step much easier into the "otherworld".
EVENING RITUAL:
TranceDance - Intuicyjny Taniec Uzdrawiający
One of the oldest and easiest ways to experience healing Trance states is dancing. Equipped with a bandana (blindfold), using an energizing breathing technique (breath of fire), the journey begins: 'Close your eyes, put on your bandanna, focus on your intention or theme, start the breath of fire and begin to move in the rhythm of the music and you find yourself in trance...' - in a state of alertness, awake and yet - in a vast inner space where the physical laws are not longer valid... you may encounter wild animals, spirits, angels, spiritual alliances, healers and guides... You may become or meet with other beings, find yourself in the forest or the mountains, in your past or future... Trust your body and let your self be danced - and when the dance is over you will be richer, more clear, in peace...TranceDance is one of the oldest ways of reconnecting with your inner forces - empowering, uplifting, energizing, motivating. A great way to step out of old habits and to look at your life in a different way.
Dancing without looking creates a different focus. The energy which is usually used to look out, getting approval, trying to connect with others – is used to look inwards, opening up to our emotions and memories. The approach of TranceDance is opposite to traditional dancing, no steps to learn, no moves to make, no special clothes to wear (except that is is a comfortable as possible). Instead you try to let go of control, let the body move by the rhythm.
