This Tantric Moments, will be an very low key oppertunity to experience some basic ATB tools. This evening we will focuess on Sensor Awareness.

Sensory awareness invites us to open the senses, refine the experience, and perceive the effect each sense has on different parts of our 'being'. It stimulates a learning process where we perceive and listen to our bodily sensations, helping us to better understand ourselves.

WHAT IS ATB?
ATB is an innovative approach developed for children, young adults, and adults aiming to promote attention, relaxation, self-awareness, and self-regulation. The method originated in Auroville, an international community in Southeast India. ATB currently enjoys international recognition, especially in education and the field of personal development. It offers a unique program of both dynamic and stilling exercises to increase awareness and strengthen self-regulation. ATB holds the belief that each individual functions as a complex apparatus, and the method provides practical guidelines to explore within your unique functioning. Whether applied in primary or secondary education, in therapies, yoga classes, mindfulness programs, for children or adults, ATB offers playful and profound methodologies to lay a solid foundation for a life of self-awareness and self-regulation.

— TANTRIC MOMENTS GENERAL TEXT —
An evening to connect, first of all with yourself then with others.
We explore together how we relate to life. We use exercises, where the orientation is on the experience of the physical body, the emotions, the mind and on spiritual aspects. Through reflexion exercises help to bring insight and awareness to areas where you may not know yourself that well. This awareness and the loving presence to your own and each other’s experience, often makes healing possible.
This Western form of tantra that we practice is sometimes called being-oriented tantra. The threshold of this style is safe and accessible. We stay clothed and, there is no focus on sexual expression or energy. We bring our attention to the awareness of and the vitality of our own experience.
Where Tantra in many styles seems to focus on the (sexual) dynamics and interaction between different sexes, Tantric moments for us is much more about uniting opposite (polar) aspects in yourself. We use the interaction with other people of any identity or age as a mirror to give insight into ourselves and our borders.
About 80% of the participants come independently. If you are not comfortable to work with strangers, you can bring someone with whom you feel safe and comfortable. This partner does not have to be your lover and sexual orientation usually does not matter. Important is that you have the intention to support each other lovingly and get to know each other better.

We are looking forward sharing a Tantric Moments with you,
The Tantric Moments Team
