Workshop | How to temple | Amsterdam

Welcome to the "How to Temple" Workshop

Facilitated by Mano & Manon

Entering a temple space can be both inviting and, at the same time, feel like a big step. For those who are curious but haven’t yet taken that step, we’ve designed this workshop. During this evening, we will take the time to explain what a temple is, what to expect, introduce you to our safety guidelines, and discuss the potential challenges one may face in a temple setting. We will also cover what it’s like to participate as a couple or as a single person, who our temple is best suited for, and who it may not be suitable for.

The workshop will have a temple-inspired atmosphere. The space will be decorated in a temple style, and the music will reflect the vibe of our temple evenings. However, unlike our regular temple nights, there is no need to wear lingerie, underwear, or kimono. Please come in comfortable clothing (but no jeans). There will be no nudity.
We will guide you through some simple exercises, though participation is entirely optional. If you attend with a partner, you may choose to participate together. There will be nothing sexual about the exercises. We will demonstrate typical temple practices that you can later try at home.
Expect a fun and insightful evening!

Meet Mano
Mano has walked a path where he was mainly touched by the Buddhist and Tantric philosophy of life. That means that for him sitting still and doing nothing (meditation) is the most powerful practice of all the exercises he has ever experienced. In addition, the tantric and TAO way is a very nice addition to enter the inner landscape through the body according to Mano.
Mano has studied psychology at the University of Amsterdam / Gestalt (psychology) education and training / Dzogchen Buddhism from Jan Geurtz / International school of temple arts ( ISTA) / TAO training (Chinese mystery school about energy) from Reinoud Eleveld. 
He mainly works as a transformative coach, using tantra and tao for bodywork. Before all this he had a company in healthcare with over 100 locations. He sold his company a year ago. Mano is als a conscious creator and entrepreneur.
