Love of Life – Libido Fundamentals

Embodied sexuality through Dance

Move with your libido

As our hearts and bodies awaken through conscious dance, our sexual energy also begins to stir. We’ve all experienced it; one moment we feel radiant, free and desirable, the next we feel clumsy, listless and excluded.
Our libido is an essential part of the body’s natural expression. Sometimes complicated, sometimes ecstatic, or burdened with expectations and past experiences. All this energy moves within and between us and longs for freedom.

Who is de course for?

All genders and sexual orientations are welcome, both solo and in relationship. Nudity is not part of the workshops.
For the depth of your experience, it is necessary to have some experience with Open Floor or another Conscious dance form. For example 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine, Ecstatic Dance. Prior to this week, there will be a Conscious Dance Festival at Sadhaka, which is of course a wonderful ‘warm up’.

Workshops are deliverd in English.

Testimonials

For me the LIBIDO workshop has contributed to give space and acceptance to my sexual and vital energy. To manage it when it is very high and to regulate it or channel it through other activities so that it doesn’t burn me or others. It has also taught me how to activate it when I feel very down and don’t feel like doing anything. In the sense of my sexual energy I am now more aware of the power I have and how I can channel it in my relationships. For example being able to tune it with my partners energy if we are on different frequencies. Or to use it to create, to inspire me and to get involved in a particular activity.

Willemijn is a teacher full of wisdom, warmth, gentleness, humour, respect and at the same time clarity, determination and strength.

This Libido training was an in-depth and intense experience. It still has an effect and it is interesting to become more aware of how I feel in the daily world, how I react internally to myself and others.I can explore how I can carry myself in different emotions, really touch and feel myself, follow feelings and let them be there and how I can feel safety within myself. Thank you for the dance, guidance, space holding and beautiful music!

Willemijn was a careful and loving presence as a facilitator of the Libido Fundamentals workshop. I felt safe and cared for. Working with the male and female archetypes did change my dance deeply. As a man I had quite some shame around the movement of my belly and my hips when moving. In the safe bedding of her sessions I could playfully explore those delicate movements and dance with it. It looks like what I discovered then is still an ongoing development and the best part of it is that I don’t feel like hiding and running away any more when the dance gets juicy and hot. What an enrichment! What a freedom… The Dancingfool
