„Tantric Awakening – Celebration Of A Sacred Journey Into Your Inner Self”
On 27 June – 5 July 2025
"Here And Now" Center, Poland

ETHICAL GUIDELINES:

1. We understand Tantra as a conscious path of developing full human potential – through work with body, consciousness, mind, emotions, sexuality and spirituality. Learning how to be and live consciously, in the flow, Here and Now. Exploring, searching but also taking full responsibility for myself and my actions, the way I live and treat other people.
2. Strong emphasis is placed firstly on learning awareness and presence, flow of energy, conscious breathing, feeling the body, grounding, recognizing, setting up and respecting one’s boundaries and only afterwards the next step would be exploring sensuality, sexuality and tantra.
3. During the Festival, respect for yourself, for others, for the Centre and the space around is very important – and it shall be expressed by respect of intimacy, tolerance for differences, care for cleanliness and good atmosphere. Each participant of the Festival contributes with his/her conscious responsibility and co-creates elements of this space with his/her own attitude.
4. We invite everyone – to come alone or together with a partner, both beginners and experienced Tantra practitioners as well as people just curious about the new topic and approach to life.
5. During the Festival, we create together a safe space to learn about Tantra individually and in pairs.
6. The Festival is a closed process that has its own rhythm and lasts 9 days, that is why the beginners cannot join it after it has started, in the middle of the process. The exception is made for the advanced tantra practitioners who have taken part in advanced Tantra workshops or previous festivals.
7. At the beginning of the Festival, every participant is obliged to attend a workshop on conscious setting up boundaries and the rules of the Festival.
8. We invite a variety of teachers from all over the world to conduct Tantra workshops, but it is very important to us that they integrate different levels of being – body, soul and mind – with their own methods, and do not teach only tantric and sexual techniques. Therefore, we cooperate only with experienced teachers with proven track record.
9. Only adults are allowed to participate in the Festival.
10. Consumption of alcoholic beverages, drugs and other stimulants is strictly forbidden.
11. We observe a strict principle of confidentiality – everything that happens during the Festival and all information concerning the participants' identities is confidential. This also applies to speakers, assistants, translators and organizers.
12. We do not support only fun/party approach to Tantra. Tantra is not an event – it is Life in all manifestations. We are not an ashram, but we are not a disco either.
    To us, Tantra is the Way of Development and Transformation, through the experience of deep love and sexuality, creating close relationships. These are not just sexual techniques and advice – as it is commonly thought, but it is a process that takes place at all levels of body, heart, mind and spirit. And which unites all those levels.
13. We do not endorse quick, shallow pseudo-tantric relationships and polyamory understood only as non-obliging sexual relationships with many partners.
    We support however conscious Tantra for singles, couples and marriages.
14. During the Festival, facilitators cannot enter into sexual encounters with the participants of the Festival (the same applies to assistants and translators).
