Lotte Ritzer, co-founder van  Tantra School of Love , beweegt zich in een spanningsveld dat niet opgelost wil worden, maar gevoeld. Haar werk draait niet om snelle transformatie of grote beloftes, maar om iets veel subtielers: het vermogen om aanwezig te zijn bij wat er werkelijk is. Binnen haar werk staat belichaming centraal. Niet denken over verbinding, maar het ervaren in het lichaam. Niet streven naar een betere versie van jezelf, maar juist ruimte maken voor alles wat e

Sommige vrouwen praten over s*ksualiteit. En sommige vrouwen belichamen het, niet als iets expliciets of luidruchtigs, maar als een stille, diepe kracht die voelbaar is in alles wat ze zijn. Judith Bruin is zo’n vrouw. Haar werk raakt aan een laag waar woorden eigenlijk tekortschieten. Waar s*ksualiteit niet langer gaat over handelingen of verlangen in de oppervlakkige zin, maar over aanwezigheid. Over waarheid. Over de moed om volledig in je lichaam te zakken en daar te blij

Naar aanleiding van een post op Facebook over tradities, vrouwelijkheid en s*ksualiteit, is  Dr. Juicy  iets uit gaan zoeken. Soms kijken we zo ver vooruit naar de nieuwste trends in 'self-care' en relaties, dat we vergeten welke krachtige kennis onze voorouders allang in huis hadden. In dit artikel verkennen we drie fascinerende Afrikaanse concepten die laten zien dat intimiteit, community en geschiedenis onlosmakelijk met elkaar verbonden zijn. Sankofa: Terugkijken om te Gr

Are you ready to step out of your head and feel the deep, buzzing life energy in your body again? On April 9 we dive into the world of Neo‑Tantra, sacred temple arts and radical self‑love. And believe us: this is something you don’t just want to listen to... you want to be there. Who is Chandra? Chandra is not just any facilitator; she is a guide for anyone who longs for a life of full freedom and expanded awareness. As an initiated Dakini and experienced tantra therapist (tr

On April 9 we welcome an icon of the Dutch entertainment world to the STEAM podcast: none other than Angela Groothuizen . Singer, presenter, theatre maker, radio dj, actress, writer, ambassador, jury member, and above all a woman who refuses to be put in a box. With Angela we dive into a topic that too often remains in the shadows: s*exuality, desire and the power of ‘free love’ after sixty. Angela Groothuizen has been a familiar face on our screens for decades, but behind t

On March 6, we welcome a special guest to the STEAM podcast: Frank Bouman van Veen. As a historian and expert in the history of science, he joins us to explore the hidden stories behind our s*xuality. The way we view s*x, kink and intimacy today is far more deeply rooted in the past than we often realize. Frank Bouman van Veen has a unique talent for building a bridge between distant history and our modern day challenges. Together, we look at the origins of the rules, taboos

Photograpy by: Eros Heathen On March 6, we dive deep into the world of conscious intimacy during the STEAM podcast. Together with Wilrieke Sophia (Exploring Deeper) , we explore the boundaries of conscious kink, inclusivity, and what happens when we reclaim ownership of our own pleasure. In a world often dominated by rigid ideas about s*x and relationships, Wilrieke Sophia offers a refreshing and much needed countervoice. As founder of Exploring Deeper and an expert in trauma

There is a persistent myth: that "real" sexual desire should just strike you out of the blue like a bolt of lightning. Dr. Juicy helps dispel this myth with a healthy dose of neuroscience. Forget the idea that your libido is a simple on-off switch. Neurologically speaking, our sexual desire works via the  Dual Control Model  (Dr. Emily Nagoski). Your brain has two systems that are constantly in conversation: The SES (Sexual Excitation System):  The "accelerator." This system

What a start! The first two recordings of STEAM were incredibly exciting. Although this isn't my first podcasting experience, it was the first time I truly held all the reins myself. Honestly, I was amazed by everything involved in organizing a podcast, videocast, and talkshow all in one: from editorial work and sound engineering to directing the floor manager and the final editing. Meanwhile, more than four people are already actively involved, which takes some getting used
