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. 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.

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 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!”
