Tantrik temple night Amsterdam: monthly Tantrik Temple and Temple Work with Medicine Within

Deep Presence

What the room actually feels like

Where the body becomes prayer

One night a month we meet ourselves, we meet each other, and together we meet Life. The music rises, the candles burn down, and something in you that has been waiting all month finally gets to move.

The Roots

The Lineage Behind the Temple

Temple arts arise from ancient tantrik, priestess, and shamanic lineages, traditions that understood transformation as embodied initiation. People have always gathered like this: in ritual, in rhythm, in candlelight, in honest embodied presence. Before self-help, before workshops, before modern tantra… There were temples.

  • The body as lived prayer
  • Ritual as a language of truth
  • Eros as healing and sacred
  • Community as initiation
  • Presence as medicine
  • Spirit moving through the body

Tantrik Temples are a modern rebirth of these lineages, rooted in sovereignty, relational intelligence, trauma-awareness, and your actual lived humanity.

The field

What Makes This Temple Different

Tantrik Temples are a living field shaped by presence, honesty, curiosity, prayer, and play. A room where truth becomes safer than pretending. A room where your yes and your no are both real, and both welcome. A room that invites all of you, and then makes it safe enough to bring.

Consent-Rooted

Boundaries are holy ground. Every "no" is a sacred "yes" to self.

Sovereign

You are the authority of your own experience. Your body sets the pace.

"Nothing is forced. Nothing is expected. Everything is optional. Your yes and your no are both honoured. You meet yourself. You meet each other. Together you meet Life. And something older than language moves through the room."

Ecstatic Dance

We begin with movement: primal, human, simple. The body wakes. Space to land, in your own way, at your own pace.

The Ritual

Boundaries as holy ground. Desire spoken out loud. Real connection, at the pace your body sets.

Upcoming Dates

14:30

The temple opens at 18:00. The day starts earlier

You can arrive at eighteen hundred, straight into ritual and music and the deep end of the evening. Many people do, and it works.

Or you can come earlier, for The Art of Embodied Connection™: two hours of real teaching in daylight, before anything else begins. Presence. Boundaries that are alive. What it takes to actually meet another person, and to let yourself be met back. The theme turns every month, on the wheel of the year.

People who do the workshop first walk into the temple already landed, already in their body, already knowing a few faces. You enter as part of something, already met, already known. It is the difference between arriving somewhere and being somewhere.

Both doors are good doors. This one is simply the warmer one.

22:31

What happens after the night ends

The temple closes at half past ten. And then there is Wednesday. For most people the night has quietly become a nice memory of something they did, instead of a change in how they live.

Someone said this to me in a conversation, word for word: "We do not do anything with what we learned in previous workshops." The temple did its work. What was missing was somewhere to put it afterwards.

The Living Temple™ is that somewhere. An ongoing room with the same people: one call and one gathering a month, a women's circle, private micro-temples that are never listed publicly. It is the in-between, where the sacredness comes home with you and gets lived for real in the middle of an ordinary week, in your kitchen, with the people who were on the floor beside you.

So the path runs simply. The workshop opens the day. The temple opens the night. The Living Temple™ holds the months between them. You need one temple night with me before you can join, so tonight is where it would begin.

Come meet yourself

If you’re reading this, something in you already knows. Becoming who you truly are is the work of a lifetime.
Come pray. Come play. Come belong to something real. And when the temple asks for more of you, the Embodied Tantra weekend and the Sacred Feminine Embodiment Temple™ are waiting.
