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.

👚🩳 Bring your pajamas! Are you coming too, to our oasis of acceptance and warmth? We invite you to come in your nightwear. Individuals of all body shapes, gender identities, ages, backgrounds and sexual preferences come together to celebrate the multi-coloured with you. You will experience the power of platonic touch, real connections and the freedom of an "open space" where everyone feels valued and embraced.
🌟 🫀Good to know
Cuddling is a healthy habit that we should do more often. Hormones and pheromones such as oxytocin lower your stress levels, calm your nervous system and are good for your body and mind. Through 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 joy of platonic touch in an open-minded and supportive community! We create a judgement-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 diversity of human connection.💖 💪 Empowerment practices
You can come to this workshop and open up the space for yourself to meet new people, enjoy great conversations, touch, be touched, have fun, practice asking for what you want, practice saying 'no' to what you don't want - all in an environment that is structured as a place for relaxation, exploration and fun. We start with an opening circle and a meditation, to arrive in the space and come into our true selves. We experience different options for hugging and holding each other together. In the play corner we do "Ritual Play", a game of moving, touching, leading and following.👐🏼🫂 Open Space
After these guided activities to promote trust, communication and understanding, you can enter the open space. The open space is an opportunity to open your heart and 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. Every 15 minutes you can choose whether you feel like a moment for yourself, playing a game, playing a game, having a chat. or a 'free-style' hug. You have enough time to relax, experience different forms of touch, drink a cup of tea or just hang out. The guardian angels will support you in taking steps towards more vulnerability, to seize opportunities for personal growth and self-discovery.🦸🏻♂️👩🏻🎤🦹🏾♀️ Who will be attending this workshop?
Everyone is welcome. We do not create a gender balance, so if you join, you are willing to share this space with those who are also attending. This is a queer and cis-positive event.💃🏻🕺🏻 Who are the guardian angels?
Tijs tells about himself:
Coming to your senses is my most important approach to life. Seeing each other, smelling the air, tasting yourself, touching the skin, when we open our senses, we enter life. As a life coach, body worker and masseur, I guide you to get closer to yourself and embrace life. Together we will find your way to create more harmony in your life, in your relationships with others and with yourself. This is his site: https://www.neptunus-wellbeing.nl/.About Arati
I guide people for whom sexuality and intimacy are not easy and self-evident. Individually and in workshops. Hands-on and in consent we sink into relaxation, self-love and being allowed to be completely 'your own' again. It is a matter of remembering what was already there. I often discover, as I am still discovering for myself, that the relationship with our own body, especially in the sexual area, is the key to real enjoyment, self-love, awareness, ecstasy and feeling free, also in relation to the other. And the most beautiful work I have ever done. I am a sexological body worker, coach, breathing coach and deep-tissue body worker. I mix that with my love, wisdom and humor.

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?
