Tantra at Ängsbacka
FIVE DAYS OF LIFE EXPANSION! Through transformational workshops, music, dance, conscious sexuality and meetings from the heart.
July 26 – July 31, 2021
We are so proud to keep sharing our magic throughout the pandemic, since the year 2020, and for as long as needed, we do so in the form of our ‘Conscious Camping’.
We successfully launched this concept last year, allowing us to create and offer activities designed to meet the requirements of Swedish authorities. Last year we miraculously did not have a single case of covid-19 all summer! For this to work as beautifully also this year, we all take responsibility by staying home if we show any flu symptoms and while at Ängsbacka we uphold the principle of consent at all times. By adhering to our shared agreements, we create as much of a safe space as possible for exploring the richness of the beautiful summer months together.
HOW CAN I BE AUTHENTIC BOTH WITH MYSELF AND THE PEOPLE I MEET?
Welcome to Tantra at Ängsbacka! It is a place for saying YES to yourself!
How would it feel to embrace and affirm all sides of yourself? What do you need to feel safe enough to truly dare to meet yourself and others? Both with yourself and with others.
This is a unique experience where you will have the opportunity to participate in workshops held by tantra teachers from many branches and traditions.
Join us from July 26th to July 31st 2021
Who can join?
You are welcome just as you are; with your light and your shadow, your horniness and tender vulnerability. We invite you to explore your relationship with your own energy.
You can come alone as a single or together with a partner. All sexual orientations and preferences are warmly welcome as long as you are 18 years or older.
It doesn’t matter if you have experience of Tantra practices or not – the week is suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Come with an open mind and the willingness to face yourself and others honestly.

And there is not only tantra for you. Tantra at Ängsbacka is framed by DJ ́s, spectacular performances and concerts with local and world famous musicians.
So what is Tantra
There are many ways to respond to the question “What is Tantra?”. Tantra can be explained as a philosophy and a set of tools and techniques that aim to expand our consciousness so that we can embrace more of life.
Many witness that Tantra is a personal exploration leading them towards freedom and awakening; the techniques used can allow us to step out of old patterns and behaviors that prevent us from realizing our own liberating truth.
Tantric techniques will most likely challenge your taboos, especially around sexual relating to self and others. Sexuality in itself is considered a taboo in many cultures and using the sexual energy is a big part of tantric practices.
However, in Tantra sexual energy is considered the very source of existence, and our individual sexuality is just a small part of how the sexual energy can manifest in the material world.
You are welcome to explore tantric philosophy, tantric meditations, tantric energy work, tantric sexuality, tantric kink and much more.
LISTEN TO YOUR NEEDS
All aspects of the week and participation in the program offered is entirely voluntary. We do however expect you to take part in the initial workshops on boundaries to support the creation of a safe week for all. There is no pressure to expand your boundaries further than feels right to you. Invite a respectful attitude towards yourself. Self-responsibility is the key, it is you who decide how far you would like to go.
It can be of high value to give yourself a break between the different workshops – to stay grounded and integrated.
Workshops
The different workshops will be visually categorised based on their content. The categories might for instance give you information on how advanced or challenging the workshop will be.
WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU?
- You are expected to be honest and take responsibility for your own feelings and actions.
- You are expected to be accepting towards the other participants. Compassion, respect, and open honesty are embraced and encouraged.
- You are expected to keep your sexual relationships in your own private room or in your tent. There will be specific areas where nudity will be permitted, but it is not allowed to have sex in those areas.
Emotional support
Tantra is a global movement; a powerful and influential method for personal development, known and practiced for centuries. Some say it’s the fastest way to enlightenment – experience shows that the way there most likely goes via blockages and feelings of fear, shame and guilt.
We are aware of the challenges You may encounter during your stay with us; that’s why we have a professional emotional support team who will be available 24hrs should you need their assistance.
