One-day intensive workshop for the ones that long to deepen their ability to love deeply.
Is this you?
You long to deepen your sexuality, but don’t want the whoosy whoosy spiritual stuff.
You know how to have sex in a quick ‘n dirty way, but sometimes this leaves you feeling depleted and empty.
You feel pressure to perform in bed, sometimes you are afraid of bringing in your desires, or feel shame about certain body aspects.
You sometimes overstretch yourself or do things that don’t feel good to please the other.
I see you.
And I have been there myself.
For years sex was about performance. Making sure the other was impressed by my abilities.
I am thoroughly grateful I have learned an other way of connecting.
And I am thrilled to share some of the finest practices in this workshop.
What you will learn in this one day retreat:
What are your shadows and desires surrounding sex & intimacy
How to activate and circulate (sexual) energy in the body
How to exchange (sexual) energy with somebody else

Hey there,
I am Sjors and I am your guide on this day.
I devoted the last 10 years to my tantra, yoga, and meditation practice. I had to because for most of my life I didn’t feel much. Well… that is not completely true. When I did very extreme things like downhill skateboarding, windsurfing on a stormy sea, or when I was chased by the cops for petty crime, I felt alive. For a moment life was full of sensation and full of meaning.
Till the age of 25, I enjoyed the richness of life to its full extent. I was a captain on classical sailing yachts which I sailed across the Atlantic Ocean, I worked as an innovation consultant helping corporates start sustainable initiatives and I started a fruit-based ice cream company. For a period in my life, all external things were great. Money was pouring in and there were all-night parties - on the outside life was exciting.
But from the inside, I felt more empty and hollow every step of the way.
Then the burnout came. Life said STOP.
And there the journey inward started.
It started with yoga and meditation, but I longed for a tradition that would invite more liveliness, sexuality, and self-expression.
For me, tantra provided that invitation.
I have studied with modern tantra schools learning all about sexual practices and dived deep into the classical tantra teachings to learn how it was done back in the days in India.
I combine these experiences with western psychotherapeutic modalities and shadow work (I am a certified Feeding your Demons therapist).
I founded Tara Academy to make these profound teachings and practices available to the wider public in an accessible and safe way.

Your questions
-
Yes you can. This workshop is suitable for beginners and there will be a lot of respect for boundaries to create a safe space.
-
This is a relevant question. We understand that your intimate life normally doesn’t take place in a room full of strangers.
Our experience however is that most participants respond along the lines of: “ooh, that was intense but subtle. I imagined it to be much more sexual.”
Yes, we work with themes like sexuality and intimacy, there is mindful touching and perhaps some excitement will be revealed, but we also have guidelines:
In this workshop, everybody keeps their clothes on.
You don’t have to work with partners that you don’t feel like.
-
Yes. The workshop will be in English when there is people that don’t speak Dutch.
-
You will be send recordings of some of the practices to continue and deepen your practice.
