Celebrating Life Tantra Retreat & Temple

About this event

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 is a two-day tantra retreat exploring what becomes possible when you meet yourself with compassion first. We begin by cultivating inner safety, self-love, and emotional openness, then bring that foundation into sensual dance, authentic connection, and a soft tantric temple. This weekend is an invitation to reconnect with your body, open your heart, and experience joy, intimacy, and sensuality from a place of self-acceptance, clear boundaries, and conscious choice.

𝗔 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 🎉

One year ago, we started our collaboration with our first tantric temple together in Amsterdam. Since then, we have co-created seven beautiful temple journeys, each one deepening our connection to this work and to the community around us.

This retreat is our next step together and our first full two-day offering. As we both celebrate our birthdays in September, we felt inspired to dedicate this weekend to something close to our hearts: celebrating life, connection, and the joy of being here together.

𝗪𝗛𝗢 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥

You are welcome here whether this is your first tantra event or you’ve walked this path for years. All genders, sexual orientations, ages, backgrounds, and relationship constellations are welcome.
The only prerequisites are an open heart, curiosity, and a willingness to respect others’ boundaries.


🎁𝗗𝗔𝗬 𝟭: 𝗖𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗕𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥𝗦𝗘𝗙
The way we relate to ourselves shapes the way we relate to everyone around us. The first day is dedicated to cultivating a loving relationship with yourself and rediscovering the joy of being exactly who you are.

Through guided tantra practices, meditation, movement, and partner exercises, we'll explore how to receive love, express appreciation, and deepen your relationship with ourselves while connecting authentically with others.

𝗧𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲'𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲:
🌷Self-love and self-acceptance
🌷Giving and receiving appreciation
🌷Connecting with your emotions without judgment
🌷Opening your heart while staying connected to your own needs
🌷Bringing love and compassion to your inner child

All practices are fully guided, and everything is an invitation. No previous tantra experience is needed, you're always welcome to participate at your own pace, adapt a practice, or take a break whenever you need.
This day focuses on non-sexual tantra and creates a grounded foundation for the playful, sensual exploration of Day 2.

A full day to reconnect with your body, explore authentic connection, and celebrate aliveness through movement, dance, and conscious sensuality.

We begin with a 𝟮-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 where we explore connection with ourselves and others through movement. This may include tantric dance, contact improvisation, dancing with yourself, or simply resting and cuddling in the chill-out space.

After the dance journey, we transition into the 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 through guided practices that may include:

🌻 Movement, breath, dance, and meditation
🌻 Playful games for group connection
🌻 Consent and boundaries practices
🌻 Exploring the dance polarity and merging into oneness

After the facilitated part, the temple opens into a space of free-flow exploration, where you can pick your own adventure, the possibilities may include:
🌺 Tantric practices, massage, and sensual play
🌺 Exploring your playful side consciously
🌺 Dancing with yourself and others
🌺 Grounding cuddles and co-regulation

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗮 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲? 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱? You’re welcome exactly as you are. Our priority is to make sure everyone feels included. We’ll have a support team available throughout the night for emotional support.
Everything's an invitation both during the guided part and the free flow.

This is not a sex party, it is a 𝘀𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 space, focused on connection, presence and self-discovery. Penetration is not part of the experience. Everything is guided by 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁, you are always welcome to say no, redirect, or change your boundaries at any moment.

Hi, I’m Julia 🌿 My biggest passion is holding spaces where people feel safe, welcome, and free to be themselves. I love helping others feel seen and accepted just as they are.
I’ve been walking the tantric path for a few years and have held space in tantra workshops, temples, retreats, and cuddle puddles. I’m also a yoga teacher, contact improvisation facilitator and trained in Authentic Relating. Right now, I’m studying towards a degree in psychology, as I’m fully committed to the path of bringing in and multiplying unconditional love.

I live a nomadic life between Koh Phangan and Portugal, and I’m really excited to bring my magic to Amsterdam ✨
