There will be time to enjoy tasty vegan meals, to relax, to dance, to connect and to celebrate life.

★ Who should attend?
If the festival appeals to you, you are welcome, exactly as you are!
Tantra experience is not required; the festival is suitable for newbies as well as experienced tantrica. There is a wide variety of choice in each time slot, and the teachers know how to work with people who are just introduced to tantra as well as participants with years of experience.

Together we will create a space where you all can create your own experience.

★ Our view on tantra
The essence of Tantra is to fully embrace all aspects of life. Behind that simple sentence lies a world of ancient wisdom, passed through from generation to generation, from teacher to pupil. Tantra is about getting wisdom through experience. 

The classical tantra has its source in three different religions, distinct from these sources by one ideal: it should be open for everyone (not just for monks) and be possible to integrate in your daily life. This is still suitable to us, after many ages!

Typical tantric elements that help us to experience life in its full potential are: body awareness, meditation, awareness of the energy system (chakra’s), mantras and rituals. These elements can help us to deeper connect to ourselves, to others and to the whole. Tantra does not deny, judge or block anything in ourselves. Anger, sadness, love, sensuality, all is welcome. We are invited to observe it, to accept it, to enjoy it. 

At the Odessa Amsterdam Tantric Bliss Festival, there will be room for classical tantra as well as neo-tantra. Our core intention is to be loyal to the essence of tantra, while creating a safe environment for everyone. We use clear guidelines and agreements. All facilitators at the festival will agree to this and help to create the safe environment that is needed. We will ask the same agreement from all participants.
In this way, we wish to enable you to awake to the potential of tantra, and to give you the tools to explore more of what tantra can be for you, by finding suitable teachers, or, at your choice, to just enjoy what is being offered to you.
