What is Tantra?

WIKIPEDIA & AI RESPONDS:

What is Stockholm Tantra Festival?

WE WORK & STRIVE TO:

  • Tantra is a philosophical and spiritual tradition that originated in ancient India and aims for personal transformation and spiritual growth. 
     

  • Tantra is derived from the Sanskrit word "tan," which means "to expand" or "to weave."
     

  • Tantra involves various practices, including meditation, breathwork, and rituals, to integrate all aspects of life and achieve harmony between the individual and the universe.
     

  • Tantra emphasizes the exploration and mastery of one's own body, senses, and desires as a means to transcendence. It teaches that by fully embracing and transforming our desires and experiences, we can attain spiritual liberation and realize our true nature.
     

  • Contrary to common misconceptions, Tantra is not solely focused on sexuality, although it does acknowledge and embrace sexuality as a natural and sacred aspect of human existence. Tantra seeks to integrate all aspects of life and experience, including the physical, emotional, sexual, and spiritual dimensions.
     

  • It's important to note that Tantra is a vast and diverse tradition with different schools, lineages, and approaches. The practices and beliefs can vary significantly depending on the specific tradition and the teacher. Therefore, it's essential to approach Tantra with an open mind and find what Tantra is for you.

​

​

​

  • Spread tantra as a fantastic open way to connect body, mind, and soul. A joyful path to personal development with a treasure toolbox of practices, methods, and approaches. It's about awareness, presence in every moment, slowing down to feel, acceptance of what is, and finding peace within.
     

  • Our festival is intended to be as safe as possible for the many first-timers entering Tantra. Therefore, our policy is to have a sober and dressed event. We wish to be an event that your neighbor, colleagues, adult child, and best shy friend would feel open to.
     

  • That everyone needs to find what tantra is for them.
     

  • Wash tantra from the most common pre-/misconceptions that it is only about sexual expressions/extremes and mystical ceremonies.
     

  • While embracing all aspects of life, the Stockholm Tantra strives to make tantra more open, available, celebrative, fun, and less about eroticism. We focus our varied programs on quality, safety, and simplicity.
