Tantric Latihan is a blindfolded, group moving meditation that helps you connect more authentically with yourself and others
About this Event

Latihan is an intuitive practice that helps you connect more authentically with yourself and others, without masks.

It’s about being fully present in your body and fully embracing each moment.

Originating from Indonesia's Subud tradition, it’s a practice of surrender—letting go of the ego and simply being. In this modern twist on an ancient tradition, we introduce blindfolded movement to help quiet the senses, allowing you to focus more deeply on the connection with yourself and others.

In Tantric Latihan, your body becomes your guide.

Through spontaneous movement, you engage with your emotions, instincts, and natural flow. It’s about releasing stuck energy, breaking old patterns, and finding freedom in the present.

The more you let go and trust your body to lead you... the more joy, trust, and connection can naturally unfold.

This strengthens resilience, builds deeper connections, and encourages you to embrace vulnerability.


Specifically, Latihan invites practitioners to:

  • Slow down and embrace the power of stillness
  • Deepen your connection through touch and attunement
  • Release attachment to identity, both your own and others’
  • Fully inhabit your body, embracing freedom and expression
  • Use discomfort and triggers as opportunities for growth
  • Align with your authentic self

What Happens at a Latihan

By simply placing a blindfold over your eyes and entering the practice space with others, you’ll open up to a new level of awareness.

Before you dive into things, there is an opening circle where we'll cover everything you need to have a safe and fun experience:

  • Explanation of how the practice works
  • Consent guidelines to make sure everyone’s comfortable
  • How to ask for support if you need it during the practice
  • Navigating with sovereignty throughout the space
  • A demonstration to guide you through the process

*Full agenda is listed below


What to Bring
  • Bring your own blindfold if you have one; we will also have some on hand for you.
  • Wear comfy clothing that you can move in, like what you might wear to a yoga class.
  • Plan to arrive before the doors close (usually 30 minutes after the published start time)
  • Come ready for stillness, movement, dance, laughter and tears, connection with source and with others, and more!

What People Say

"The most profound somatic practice I've experienced!"

"Loved the space and the container; it all felt very welcoming and comfortable"

“I enjoyed being able to explore touch and connection in a safe environment.”

"Very warm, surrendering experience."

“Having a chance to connect with kindred spirits, see old friends, and meet new ones got me out of my head and into my body on a very chilly winter day!”

“The connection alone was worth attending for."



What Are the Benefits of this Practice

Latihan enhances your ability to relate to others by increasing self-awareness and revealing your patterns, conditioning, and unconscious habits.

By removing sight, your other senses heighten, allowing you to observe your emotions, reactions, and coping mechanisms in real time.

This practice helps you discover where you hold yourself back from fully embracing your desires, and where you may struggle with boundaries or conscious awareness.

Latihan is ideal for those with experience in meditation, tantra, or other practices that foster self-exploration and ultimately help us to leave the ego behind and move into the real self.
