The Beauty of Touch – Embracing Connection and Boundaries
THURSDAY DECEMBER 19TH @ 19:15 PM
Touch is such a powerful and profound part of being human. It’s how we show care, empathy, and connection. But let’s be honest—touch can also feel complicated. Many of us have moments of uncertainty: How do we navigate boundaries? How do we ask for what we need? How do we know what truly feels right for us?
In The Beauty of Touch, we’re creating a space for you to gently explore these questions and discover what touch means to you. Through simple, guided exercises, you’ll have the chance to tune into yourself, recognize your boundaries, and practice communicating them with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll engage in practices that encourage authentic connection—connection that feels honest, meaningful, and true to you. -

PSYCHEDELIC BREATH®
FRIDAY DECEMBER 20TH @ 19:15 PM
Let the music and your breath take you on an exciting journey where you experience what is present within you. With PSYCHEDELIC BREATH® you dive deep into parts of yourself that are often difficult to reach with our conscious mind. The breath is a wonderful tool to connect us to this deeper level of consciousness, accepting our inner critic and to experience more self-love.
PSYCHEDELIC BREATH® combines elements of ancient yogic breathwork traditions with electronic music to get into a non-ordinary state of consciousness. You can clear out mental, emotional and physical blockages. You might experience less critical thinking and you can become more present with what you feel, get more realisations about yourself and having a new perspective.

Impulse Play 🌶
THURSDAY JANUARY 9TH @ 19:15 PM
Join us for an uplifting experience where you will get to meet yourself and your impulses whilst being in connection to a partner or others. The impulse play brings forth the direct experience of being in touch with what the body wants, in a consensual way where the arena is mapped out and the rules clear.
MORE ABOUT IMPULSE PLAY
Impulse Play is a non-verbal somatic and relational practice that creates a space for play and self-development. For many of us, play is something we let go of as we enter adulthood. Play is characterized by the fact that we do something simply because it feels good, for the PLEASURE in the moment - not because there is a specific goal or a plan. Impulse Play brings us the invitation to be authentic; being true to ourselves and our impulses, whether it’s primal or sensual, fast or slow, intense or calm.

I found myself capable to naturally open my hearth and feel more and more compassion towards my shadows, and my partner’s ones." - Testimonial
Due to great succes, we are bringing back our couples series, and this time we'll be in Amsterdam!

Musical Soul Dive: Navigating Narratives
NEW DATE TBA
We all have narratives and stories - but they are not the core of who we actually are. This evening we invite you to go inwards via a Musical Journey by Cézanne & various Authentic Relating games.
The first part of the evening will be a (lie down) concert. Cézanne paints musical landscapes with her lyrics and melodies. The main focus of her songs is personal transformation that comes from self reflection. The music can be described as cinematic soul: a lush combination of dreamy neo-soul, jazz and indie Cézanne's way of making music is a tangled process of thinking, writing, feeling and embodying.
In the second part of this event, we will explore narratives with each other in a safe, warm environment. We will use different Authentic Relating exercises to connect deeply, both with yourself and the others around you.

Naked Circling & Authentic Relating
NEW DATE TBA
Our bodies, our minds and our hearts: the relationship we have to our bodies, our own skin, flesh and bones often creates stories and narratives that go deep. In this workshop we will interweave naked Circling with Authentic Relating, for processing all the assumptions, judgments, love and care we have surrounding our bodies. Shame and desire are often key components of how we relate to our bodies. In this workshop we seek to restore connection to ourselves through the sharing of vulnerabilities and insights on what it means to show up in our skin. A deeply connective workshop where we engage in our humanness and tenderness from the heart space. A workshop not to be missed.
