The workshop will have a maximum attendance of 42 people: 21 leaders & 21 followers.

Prerequisite to attend: Tantra into Zouk * Level 1 * (Level 2 NOT needed)

ESSENCE OF THIS WORKSHOP WEEKEND
This will be a personal, emotional & spiritual development workshop weekend merging Tantra with Zouk.
Tantra is the science of full self realization & the art of connection.

When using the Tantric perspective, a couple dance becomes a micro cosmos in which you can learn and grow with each dance interaction you have.

SUBJECTS (not limited to this list)
To be announced later, but you can trust it is going to be an experience! ;)

TANTRA & SEXUALITY
Although Tantra has profound deep liberating sexual elements to it,
there will be NO sexual engagement or nudity in this workshop.
The main topic here is Tantra & dance.
Sexuality may be addressed in the theory or in Q&A upon request.
Upon request, books and workshop references can also be provided.
More on this, in the bottom of this description and in one of the comments.

TANTRA DEFINITIONS
Tantra is a very vague concept for most people. In order to lift veil of mystery a bit, I will post various interpretations of what Tantra is and what it stands for in the event comments.
This may aid in feeling into the purpose of this workshop weekend and whether this is something for you to discover.

Please take note that in some definitions and interpretations there is a strong emphasis on sexuality. This is because Tantra is the only Spiritual tradition that fully embraces sexual energy and has deep teachings on how to use that energy for deepening spiritual practice.
This does NOT imply this workshop teaches sexuality or that there will be any sexual excersizes.
However, the beauty of a couple dance like Zouk is that we can use the dance interaction as practice ground to learn new ways of interacting and relating between the masculine and the feminine without an actual sexual act, and even without sexual energy. The practitioner is invited to practice this in a dance setting and then to privately see if it can be put to use in personal life and perhaps personal sexuality.

So for example, we will practice different techniques and methods on how to get out of your head and more into your body, so that you will not constantly be thinking and/or negatively judging yourself.
Dance is perfect to practice this and it has nothing to do with being sexual.
The invitation is to then apply these teachings in other areas of your life where you may find them useful. Perhaps in your sexlife, or in other areas that serve you.

FACILITATORS
Lead Facilitator: Roger van Doggenaar
Roger has an extensive background in Tantra, Energy work, Hypnosis and Zouk.
A former high paid independent consultant for multinationals, he made a drastic switch in his life towards the mystical & spiritual side of life. His passion is maximizing human potential & happiness.
He has been dancing Zouk for over 10 years and became fascinated with the possibilities for Dance Trance that Zouk has to offer. He found that it can be a beautiful gateway to deeper states of consciousness by the sheer power of connection and presence.
He became a hypnotist and life coach in 2011 and has been training men and women to profoundly relax in a matter of seconds.
In 2015 he discovered Tantra & Energy work, which added deeper physical and energetic layers to his Zouk dancing.
In 2017 he graduated to become an Energy Healer and he has been co-facilitating in Primal Deconditioning & Rebirthing, which is a process of deconditioning from the negative imprints we receive in the ages of 0 - 7 of our lives.
Through Tantra he found many gateways to bring more joy, happiness and fulfillment to our lives and he has a passion to spread this wisdom through personal experience in group workshops.
