WHAT IS TANTRA?

• Tantra is a path of developing full human potential. It focuses on working with the body, sexuality, mind and emotions, awareness and on spiritual development at the same time. Tantra is one of the few ways of development and spiritual search, which embraces not only sexuality, but considers sex to be necessary to enrich and deepen spirituality. It is a philosophical system with a tradition lasting several thousand years, also called the “yoga of love.”
• Tantra is particularly important for people who not only want to enrich their sex life, but also expect a deep relationship with a partner. Through delicacy, mindfulness and conscious perception of the body, tantra helps to fully open up to someone close. It affects our lives. It offers an approach to life that celebrates the joy, pleasure and sensual body consciousness.
• Tantra is a way of development and change, experiencing deep love and sexuality, creating close relationships. These are not just sexual techniques and advice, as is commonly believed, but something much deeper. It is a process that takes place at all levels: body, mind and soul. And which unites all these levels.
• Tantra honours our inner temple – the body. Tantra gives us tools to purify, cleanse; tools to recycle our sexual energy, our thoughts, our emotions and beliefs. As we are recycling in our own temple, our body, we start recycling in our home, our relationships, our family and our environment.
• Tantra amplifies our experiences as subconscious material surfaces faster. Conscious breathing, meditation, tantric practices heighten the sensitivity of your nervous system and allow consciousness to expand. It provides techniques that empower you as the creator, the source of your own energy force. We are energy. Tantra teaches us how to become aware of energy, how to channel it, to raise it, exchange it and how to create with it.

BENEFITS OF TANTRA

• teaches how to develop awareness and spirituality through intimacy with another person
• allows us to discover real intimacy – with oneself, with partner, with family
• enables the deep flow of love
• helps us find who we really are
• enriches our sexual life, makes it beautiful and complete
• excludes nothing, judges nothing but acknowledges us as perfect and good
• heals our wounds
• through presence and mindfulness influences all aspects of life

CONTINUATION OF WORKSHOPS PRESENTED DURING THE FESTIVAL THROUGHOUT THE YEAR:

The festival serves to represent various trends and methods, and also hosts teachers from all over the world. During short 3-hour modules we will be able to get acquainted with their work, feel which method and teacher are closest to us and with whom we would like to continue with longer, several-day workshops.

And that is why the Festival is part of the year-round program of the Here & Now center dedicated to working with sexuality & tantra. It also serves to promote our teachers and their methods. Throughout the year, our center hosts workshops with many teachers who perform during the Festival, including: Anand Rudra, Abhika (Liza Martin), Swami Anahata, Cristiano Martins and others.

SHARING SPACE

It is an everyday meeting of all Festival participants, time when they can share their impressions, thoughts, experiences and emotions. It’s the most important event of the whole Festival. The meeting is moderated and the participants are divided into smaller groups, so called “tantric families”, which stay constant during the festivities.

HEALING TEMPLE

It’s a space where You can get all kinds of various messages, consult bodyworkers and healers. Individual sessions are a great way to enhance your experience during the Festival. These sessions may support you for healing, energizing or simply deep relaxation. A variety of private sessions will enable you to deepen your understanding of Tantra in general. Our healing area is private and fully equipped to give you the best treatments and our dedicated healers are professional session givers, fully trained and qualified in their field of expertise.  Prices for individual sessions are not included in the Festival fee.

BODY TEMPLE

In tantra, the body is the temple of the immortal spirit. We express our respect for our bodies caring for them, listening to their needs and satisfying them. We care about our temples when we make love, meditate, relax, eat healthy and fresh food, pampering the senses. But equally important is the attention to the appearance of our bodies and their garnishing. Especially during the Festival Tantra and Sexuality, which is a celebration, we wish that every lecturer and participant emphasized the beauty and brilliance was coming the temple of his body. Please take care of it, that your dress was not only convenient and comfortable, but also festive, decorative and full of harmony.

TANTRA TEMPLE

It’s a beautiful place with Tantric Altar, where You can feel the profound spirituality of Tantra. You can come with partner or alone. You can sing mantras, meditate or just seat in silence. The Temple is decorated with paintings, flowers, saturated with pleasing fragrances, filled with romantic music and wrapped with soft, diffused light. Each day a different tantra facilitator supports the Temple with his/her energy. The Temple is open every night from 9 PM till 11 PM.
