What we’re about
Nederlands: hieronder.
Both meditation, yoga and massage are ways to get in touch with yourself, to feel relaxed and calm. Your own body is our greatest gift and an important source of wisdom, the place where we come home. Experiencing peace, silence and peace within yourself helps you to become a happier person. You experience your own depth, your own compass, which gives you direction to your life. And you are more present in contact with others.
This group is intended for initiatives focused on meditation, yoga, massage, touch, body awareness and other forms of mindfulness and wellbeing. Everyone is welcome, your gender, mother tongue, cultural background and sexual orientation play no role.
Nederlands:
Zowel meditatie, massage als yoga zijn manieren om in contact te komen met jezelf, met je lichaam, om je te ontspannen en je rustig te voelen. Je eigen lichaam is ons grootste geschenk en een belangrijke bron van wijsheid, de plek waar we thuis komen. Het ervaren van vrede, stilte en rust in jezelf helpt je om een gelukkiger mens te worden. Je ervaart je eigen diepte, je eigen kompas, die je richting geeft aan je leven. En in het contact met anderen ben je meer aanwezig.
Deze groep is bedoeld voor initiatieven gericht op meditatie, yoga, massage, aanraking, lichaamsbewustzijn en andere vormen van mindfulness en wellbeing. Iedereen is welkom, je gender / geslacht, moedertaal, culturele achtergrond en seksuele geaardheid spelen geen rol.

Benefits
When we massage our own bodies, we are able to improve circulation, relax the muscles, and reduce stress levels. By doing this, we are able to improve our moods, reduce anxiety and stress, increase energy levels, improve sleep quality, and relieve pain. Self-massage helps to release endorphins, to boost your mood.What will we do?
Each time we will practice a different style or an area on the body. For example, we can do a neck and shoulder massage by using our hands to make strokes and circles. Then we work deeper with fingertips on the knots and tense spots. Other body parts can be the back area, using different tools such as a tennis ball or from roller. Or a foot Massage, using ancient Chinese reflexology techniques.After the workshop is finished, you can stay (online or on the spot) for another 30 minutes to have a chat with other participants or to keep practicing.

- Morning Vipassana meditation / Ochtendmeditatie (Online & Tienhoven)Link visible for attendees
**Let's start the day with a short meditation. We will create a moment of mindfulness, to find stillness and inner peace. As we will practice Vipassana, we will focus on the breath, the heartbeat, bodily sensations, or energy flow.
You can join online or on the spot, in Tienhoven (Utrecht). The guidance is donation-based.**
What kind of meditation?
Every time will be different, but the meditations will be simple, they will take about 30 minutes and will be easy to step in. They are based on the Vipassana tradition. Examples of teachers who can be an inspiration are:- Jon Kabat-Zinn, who introduced mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is based on the Theravada boeddhistische tradition, where Vipassana was founded.
- Saki Santorelli, who was a student of S.N. Goenka from Birma and he introduced Vipassana meditation in the western world.
- Tara Brach: is an American mindfulness teacher, who combines western psycological research with the Zen Buddhist philosophy about compassion and Vipassana meditation techniques.
For whom?
Everybody is welcome, no matter what is your gender, age, body type or background. These 2-weekly morning meditations are visited by participants from our Sangha group but everybody is welcome. There is also space for co-creation, so if you would like to lead a meditation and guide the other participants, feel free to contact Tijs.

The meeting will be spoken in English. - Movement Meditation - Bewegingsmeditatie (online and Tienhoven)Link visible for attendees
Let's take a moment to move together in a mindful way. We will make an inner journey through an alternation of intensive and subtle movement, feeling our body and our breath, listening to music and coming to stillness.
NEDERLANDS: HIERONDER
Movement and meditation may seem contradictory at first glance, but in many cultures and disciplines they have been combined for centuries. Movement can be a powerful tool to calm your mind, strengthen your body and experience a deeper connection with yourself.
There are many forms of movement meditation, think of Eastern classical movement teachings such as yoga, chi-gong and tai-chi. Modern forms of movement meditation are the active meditations of Osho, dance meditations and more subtle, slow forms such as Continuüm Movement.
Everybody welcome
The meetup is mixed, so everybody is welcome: all genders, all orientations, all ages, experienced or not. You can decide whether you want to participate with shorts, leggings or in underwear. Before the meditation, we will check in with each other, to hear our names and share how we feel. The meeting will be spoken in English, unless all participants are Dutch.Why movement meditation?
Sitting still is quite difficult for most people because we are used to being exposed to stimuli all day long, while your body needs exercise. Movement meditation provides improved concentration, inner peace and a sense of well-being. By focusing on your body and your breathing, you can also reduce stress and anxiety. Movement meditation helps you to live more in the moment, to become aware of your body sensations and to listen to signals from your body. Regular practice ensures a calm mind and a more vital body.Online participation

Laten we samen even de tijd nemen om op een bewuste manier te bewegen. We maken een innerlijke reis door een afwisseling van intensieve en subtiele beweging, we voelen ons lichaam en onze ademhaling, we luisteren naar muziek en we ervaren verstilling.Beweging en meditatie lijken op het eerste gezicht tegenstrijdig, maar in veel culturen en disciplines worden ze al eeuwenlang gecombineerd. Beweging kan een krachtig hulpmiddel zijn om je geest te kalmeren, je lichaam te versterken en een diepere verbinding met jezelf te ervaren.
Er zijn veel vormen van bewegingsmeditatie, denk aan oosterse klassieke bewegingsleer zoals yoga, chi-gong en tai-chi. Moderne vormen van bewegingsmeditatie zijn de actieve meditaties van Osho, dansmeditaties en subtielere, langzame vormen zoals Continuüm Movement.Iedereen is welkom
De meetup is gemengd, dus iedereen is welkom: alle geslachten, alle oriëntaties, alle leeftijden, ervaren of niet. Je kunt zelf bepalen of je meedoet in shorts, leggings of in ondergoed. Voor de meditatie checken we bij elkaar in, om elkaars naam te horen en te delen hoe we ons voelen. De bijeenkomst wordt in het Engels gehouden, tenzij alle deelnemers Nederlands zijn.Online deelname

🌈✨ Embrace the Rainbow of Connection with shared meditation moments, massage exchange and warm cuddles together with people from all ages, genders and orientations. ✨🌈
NEDERLANDS: https://hipsy.nl/event/108421-playful-platonic-pyjama-party-mindfulness-massage-and-cuddles
👚🩳 Bring your Pyjama!
Although we will meet in the afternoon, we invite you to arrive in your night outfit! It will be fun, a haven of acceptance and warmth. Individuals of all body shapes, gender identities, ages, backgrounds and sexual preferences come together to celebrate diversity. We will explore the power of platonic touch, foster genuine connections, and create an open space where everyone feels valued and embraced.🌟 🫀Good to know
Cuddling, meditation and exchanging massages are all healthy practices which we should do more often. Hormones and pheromones such as oxytocin lower your stress level, calm down your nerve system and are good for your body and mind. By touch you gain more confidence in yourself and in others. You can recharge your battery and let go of stress.🤗🌈 Safe and Inclusive Vibes
Discover the pleasure of platonic touch in an open-minded and supportive community! We create a judgment-free zone where you can be your authentic self, follow your own needs and listen to your body and soul. Be your unique self in an environment where everyone feels seen and accepted., so we can enjoy the rich tapestry of human connection.💖 💪 Empowering Exercises
You can come to this workshop and open space to meet new people, to enjoy amazing conversations, to touch, to be touched, to have fun, to practice asking for what you want, to practice saying “no” to what you don’t want — all in a setting structured to be a place for relaxation, exploration and enjoyment. We will start with an opening circle and a meditation, to arrive in the space and come to our true selves. In the massage corner, we will give a short massage instruction and you can practice these strokes. In other corners we will give several options to cuddle and hold each other, we can play a card game or have a chat.👐🏼🫂 Open space
After these guided activities to promote trust, communication and understanding, you can step into the open space. The open space is an opportunity to open your heart and to discover what you like, how much time you like to be in contact or alone and what kind of touch is pleasant for you, within agreed boundaries. You can choose every 15 minute if you are into a moment for yourself, a chat, a massage exchange, playing a game or a ‘free-style’ cuddle. You have plenty of time to relax, share a back rub or other welcome touch, have a tea and a snack or just hang out. This time, there is also an option to play with ropes (platonic soft bondage). The guarding angels will support you in taking steps towards more vulnerability, to take opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery.🎵 🌱 Venue
Location: The Healing Studio Amsterdam
Address: Veenendaalplein 146-147; 1106 CS Amsterdam (Gaasperdam)
