REBECCA FRANCES

Are you dissatisfied with your sex life? Perfect! Because problems* can be a blessing and show you valuable things—if you just finally stop trying to get rid of them right away! If we listen to them, something magical happens. In this workshop, our problems are transformed into our muses. Without sugarcoating anything, they inspire us to experience intimacy differently: more harmoniously, more connected, more freely. A weekend for women, lesbians, inter, trans, non-binary, and agender people. This way, for a love life that goes far beyond sex :)

We usually tend to squeeze relaxing activities into our free time. We schedule yoga, drive to the sauna, force ourselves to read a book or meditate. Yet we still feel stressed. Perhaps the important thing is to do nothing. Let's get drunk on relaxation.

In this workshop, our problems turn into our muses. They inspire us to live intimacy differently: more coherently, more connected, more freely. A weekend for individuals, couples, polycouples or friends (plus). This way, for a love life that goes far beyond sex :)

A retreat, in the mountains, with massage and movement and breathwork and theater and discussion - inspiration for the soft, squidgy, sexy bodywork encounters. Using tantra massage as a springboard into the clumsy, complex world of human relations, we welcome you to TWAPOS.

*No matter what gender has been assigned to you at birth, no matter what chromosomes or genitals you have. If you don't identify as a woman but you have been assigned the female gender at birth, then you are also very welcome.

Would you like to do something together? Get (back) closer to each other, nurture your bond, break out of stuck routines, or have fun that can be meaningful? In everyday life, we often lack the leisure and ideas to do so. Don't despair! We have put together two well-thought-out days in which we will explore what it means to be in a relationship in a playful and embodied way.

Do you need a break from sex? Do you feel lustless, bored, frustrated? Are you (wondering if you are) asexual? Or is it just not worth the bother? Abstinence could be like fasting or detoxing or like going on strike. Or like coming home. Or it could be incredibly hot to resist temptation. Whatever the angle - could there be abundance in abstinence?

An evening for tantric practitioners exploring the joy, the juice, and the sometimes itchy truths of this profession.

Maybe you're curious to see what happens if you take a break from sex. Maybe you feel fed up with sex - lustless, bored, frustrated? Maybe you (wonder if you) are asexual? Or is it just not worth the bother? Abstinence could be like fasting. Or like going on strike. Or like coming home. Or it could be incredibly hot to resist temptation.

When was the last time someone really gave attention to your mouth... in a massage? Somatically, the mouth and face are full of nerve endings and sensitivities. Socially the face is highly charged. We communicate with it, we try to control it, some cover it in makeup and/or stylized facial hair. And our mouth is this fascinating gateway to our insides, a deliciously wet cave with...

Bodies...what can they do? Bring your body to us and we will find out. Using tantra massage as a springboard into the clumsy, complex world of human relations, we help you expand your carnal knowledge. This intense form of intimacy, a massage technique performed and received in the nude, contains so much human potential. This luxurious act gives democratic attention to all body parts, allowing space for whatever wants to come up. With care and attention, we guide you through movement and meditative mornings which bring you into closer contact with yourself. From there, with humility and humor, we ask the question: is today's erogenous zone your eyelashes or your ears, your feet or your asshole? Do you need a break or a debate, a hug or a slap in the face?  

Intimacy outside of fixed patterns and conventions is fantastic, creative and unpredictable - that's what makes it so appealing, but also quite complex and challenging. In the (AN)OTHER INTIMACY workshops, we want to embark on this venture! The SENSORY EXPLORATIONS course is dedicated to the sensuality of our bodies - seeing, hearing, smelling, touching and tasting. We will move through the weekend in these five modes, guided by the concept of the beginner's mind, which refers to an inner attitude of openness, curiosity and the beneficial absence of preconceptions or judgments. Together we will rediscover our sensorium, as if we were experiencing the fabulous world of...

What we in the modern West call "tantric massage" deserves to be dusted off and decluttered in order to shine in fresh splendor. Because we want the luxuriously long, deep, sensual, oily-warm caresses and the orgasmic full-body sensations - without the under-complex talk about male and female "energies". We want to bathe in the radically tender pleasure of being touched with full presence in a held space...

Oh, life! Welcome back. We went through something like hibernation. Carefully we now blink our eyelids, stretch our limbs, crawl out of our nests and dare to slowly open ourselves up to a new world. This is exciting. And overwhelming. And a fascinating chance to reinvent. Where do we begin? Why not at the beginning: it all started with your breath and with your senses. Feeling, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting. Fundamental as they are they tend to be taken for granted. But once we give full attention to them they generate powerful visceral pleasures and...
