Erotic Prayer - Late Summer Celebration

Over dit evenement

👑 EROTIC PRAYER - The Church Edition 👑

On SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12th, the doors of the beautiful Buiksloterkerk in Amsterdam North are opening for a LATE SUMMER CELEBRATION where Dance, Devotion & Eros Unite
⛪

A night to celebrate Life.
To move. To feel. To connect.
To let yourself be seen, felt and fully alive.

Imagine stepping into an ancient Church and finding yourself in a space where devotion meets celebration, intimacy meets movement, and depth meets play.

Where the music moves through your body.
Where you get to pray & play.
Where connection happens naturally.
Where you can dance wildly, soften deeply, be in the depth of your devotion, feel your own heartbeat and celebrate being alive, together with Tribe.

This is EROTIC PRAYER: The Church Edition
⛪

A unique weaving of Ecstatic Dance, Temple Arts, Embodied Intimacy, Live Vocals, Tantra and Celebration held within the ancient walls of the church.

Not just a dance.
Not just a Temple space.
Not just a ritual.

But a living, breathing field where movement, connection, eros, playfulness and devotion come together.

A space where your depth and devotion are just as welcome as your playfulness, your humanity, your wildness, your tenderness and your courage.

And yes… you are invited to dress up. 👑

Come in your most sensual, expressive, extravagant or playful self.
To celebrate. To dance. To deepen. To be surprised. To transition into the next season in Ceremony.

Come exactly as you are & let yourself be guided by your life force.

"When one body awakens to its own aliveness, the whole field begins to breathe differently"

👑 THE ESSENCE OF EROS 👑

With Eros, we do not mean sexuality per se.
We see Eros as our direct connection to Life itself, the creative force that moves through us.

That spark, the pulse beneath the skin, the breath that suddenly deepens, the moment your body says YES to being here, the energy that makes you want to move, create, connect, laugh, touch, feel and celebrate.

Erotic vibrancy is our innate connection to our natural life force. It is in fact the nature of our embodiment.

It becomes available when we slow down enough to truly meet ourselves.

When we listen to the body, when we allow ourselves to feel, when we become present with what is real, what is authentic.

Sometimes Eros is quiet, sometimes it is wild, sometimes it is tender, sometimes it is playful, and sometimes it simply wants to express, to dance.

This night is an invitation to reconnect with that spark of Life within you & to celebrate it together. A conscious field of celebration where movement, aliveness and erotic innocence come together. Where this time we will have DJ Indi Raeva joining us for an extra long DJ set.

The venue has a respectful policy around sexuality, and all practices will be with clothes (and at least) with underwear on. Every practice is an invitation. You are always welcome to witness, participate, pause or move at your own pace.

👑 THIS IS FOR YOU 👑

This night is especially designed for those of you who long to celebrate and party in a deeply connected, conscious space. For those who want more than a night out but also don't want to sit quietly in a ritual space all night.

For those who want to dance, move, laugh, flirt with life, connect deeply, explore intimacy and celebrate their aliveness.

For those who want to experience a space where consciousness doesn't take away the fun, it makes the fun deeper.

A collective field of movement, music, connection, aliveness and erotic innocence. Where you are the creator of your own experience. And where the field holds and invites you from the very moment you say yes.

👑 YOUR FACILITATORS 👑

She is devoted to create a Culture of Relating - where we come Home as Tribe and Remember our Nature, as Souls, as Humans. Seeing all of our relationships as sacred mirrors to expand our awareness and deepen as Love - and ultimately bring our unique essence into the world more fully and authentically.

>> INDI RAVEA - Ecstatic Dance DJ <<

After organizing ecstatic dance in Rotterdam for multiple years, Indi Raeva came onto the Dutch ecstatic dance scene 2 years ago and quickly spread like wildfire. Her feminine and authentic energy brings depth and groundedness into the dance journey. With a deep passion for self-exploration through movement, she is here to offer endless flavours and rhythms to explore who you are in each moment.

To Indi, Ecstatic Dance is a mirror of life. Everything is welcome: the beautiful and the uncomfortable. Sometimes there is a sense of freedom, other times restlessness, and all of it is okay. Through the dance, there is space to observe oneself in all these different states of being. And through that process, self-awareness deepens again and again. And really, what could be more beautiful than that? What she hopes to bring in her sets is an invitation to feel, to let go, and to move from within.

You can expect a variety of slow, deep, dreamy sounds to full-on ecstatic explosion & orgasmic aliveness and everything in between! All so you can breathe, feel, laugh, play, and ultimately… dance your socks and ass off.

>> IRIS MULLER - Vocalist + Musician <<

Iris Muller is an artist & musician who creates music from what arises in the field, blending improvisation with voice alchemy. Iris will offer an improvised Soul Song based on everyone's experience, and weave her angelic voice & enchanting presence into the field.
