Voyage Into Presence - 3 Day Tantric Temple Deep Dive in Amsterdam

After a success last year, Voyage Into Presence is back to Amsterdam!

Explore the profound depths of Presence and Inner Quietness, and forge a deeper connection with yourself and the primordial dark in balance with the light. Step into who you are.

Unlock the transformative power of presence through our 3-day immersive and tantric experience from October 11-13 in the beautiful nature of Amsterdam, designed to explore the energetic, physical, and psychological realms of presence. Delve into your polarities, archetypes, power dynamics, and personal boundaries to deepen your connections with yourself and others. We’ll meet and love the dark that comprises most of the universe, the earth, each other, and ourselves. We will also touch the light that shines along the dark and illuminates our world.

This unique experience/training/retreat invites you to step away from the chaos and immerse yourself in a safe, sacred, and connected space where you can experience expansion and come out feeling more present than before. Integration support is provided to help you integrate those profound experiences into a more present and effortless daily life.

IS THIS TRAINING FOR YOU?

Are you easily distracted? Do you complete a task only to realize you’ve forgotten the process because your mind was a million miles away? Does life pull you in many directions at once? Do you agree to requests you’d rather decline? Do you endure situations rather than respond with a full-bodied ‘yes’? Are you unsure of what you want? Do you worry your desires will keep others away? Do you spend more time in your head than in your body? Do you envy the power in others that you feel you can’t access in yourself? Do you find yourself doom-scrolling or engaging in unhelpful habits despite the will to change?

What previous participants say about this retreat:
"I really enjoyed this 3-day journey with a lovely and open group of people. I appreciate how the facilitation was precise in content and the guidance was just enough for me to have clear intentions that could manifest in my own experiences from my presence without needing to "copy" formats or exercises. I believe there was a beautiful balance between the energetic flow with oneslef and others; from self-awareness to co-creation and from more mentally driven to more bodily centered activities.
I definitely recommend Voyage into Presence to anyone who is willing to explore more of themselves within a collective setting by navigating several ways of connecting to life itself." -Juan Andrés

"This is such a Powerful Journey of Discovery and Connection. I loved the last one in Amsterdam and am sad to miss this opportunity. I highly recommend attending. Aaron is such an inspired and visionary spaceholder." - Keith

What people talk about Aaron:

“In ritual, the space held is so solidly anchored in loving neutrality that your being is safe to surrender to the deepest depths. A thoughtful deep listener, Aaron conducts a space that satisfies each level of consciousness and welcomes your psyche to relax and receive the medicinal transmission. It is so powerful to feel so deeply held through a transformative process. Thank you, for your steadfast devotion to creating and holding powerful containers of transformation.”

“Aaron is an exquisite space holder: super calm, super grounded, and super attuned. I have always felt completely safe in any container that he’s held. And he has held some pretty wild ones that I’ve participated in!”
