If fear and dissociation are the disease, then love and connection must be its antedote. Aernoudt Knecht
There are many similarities between the practices of Trance Dance and Tantra. Both seek healing and spiritual growth, and unity with the divine, through the body as a holy temple. Both stimulate awareness, and aliveliness, through awakening of the senses, and both embrace ALL layers of existance. Actually, you could say that the ritual of trance dance is, in essence, a very tantric kind of practice. Trance dancing brings you back into the felt presence of the moment, and helps you to consciously direct your attention, and your energy.
Connecting deeply with a partner, requires a deep connection with yourself, first and foremost. Alignment with who you are, on a spiritual level, is the foundation from where you can truly connect with another. If you are open, grounded, and in flow with life, the quality of that connection will improve profoundly!
Directly after trance dancing you are clear, empty, at peace, and deeply connected with your core. This allows you to you connect to your lover from authenticity, from your essence, and opens you up for a profound spiritual exchange.
There will be no explicitly sexual exersises, activities or exchanges in the group! Couples will take that to the privacy of their own bedrooms. Actually, we recommend you do that. The effects of the exercises and dances we do, will overflow into your love life, and there will be plenty of time to spend in privacy.

In a series of trance dances you will allow yourself to move, and be moved, and to drop into deep layers of meditation… awakening your life force, and connecting to the God or Goddess within. This will create a sacred space from where to connect with your partner or lover.

Our lives are often so busy, and as a couple we often lose touch with ourselves, and with each other. Signing up for a retreat together can be a very powerful decision.
