Around Amsterdam & Europe
Co-creating group spaces and embodied events/retreats to help you Relax, Release and Connect deeper, with tools of Tantra and Tantric Bodywork, Temple Arts, Plant Medicines/Shamanic Ceremonies and Embodiment practices. Sometimes in co-creation with other gifted facilitators. If in-person events (Amsterdam-based) are not possible, feel free to explore 1:1 online session like NARM Embodied Trauma Healing Sessions, Coaching and FREE online resources, rituals and courses.
Co-created spaces to support you to drop in and grow,
as you begin to remember who you truly are.
Those events are invitations, created by myself and sometimes with other facilitators/artists — into the body, into deeper truth, into presence. Deeply inspired by eastern lineages of Tantra, Taoism, plant medicines, and shamanic temple arts, we weave spaces that are ceremonial, alive, and deeply human. What I offer is born from lived and remembered experiences, and held with humility, honesty, and care.
You’re welcome here – in all your tenderness, power, longing, and your truth.

Temple of Remembering, The Sacred Union, Tantric Gathering
Conscious Place, Amsterdam
December 5, 2026, 15:00 – 24:00
What becomes possible when we meet ourselves and one another from a place of wholeness?
Inspired by the ancient Tantric wisdom of the sacred union (Shiva/Shakti) and the Taoist dance of Yin and Yang, and the mystics who have explored love as a path of remembrance, we gather at Temple of Remembering to explore the Union, and deeper connection from that place.
Within each of us live many polarities: Masculine and Feminine, Strength and Softness, Power and Surrender, Giving and Receiving, Stillness and Movement.. As we welcome these different parts of ourselves, we open to a more natural way of meeting life, love, and one another.
Through presence, embodied practices, tantric ritual, breath, movement, touch, we journey from inner integration and heart opening into the awakening of Eros, as the first temple. As the day unfolds into night, we enter a more sensual, playful, and celebratory space, where we can freely explore the beauty of connection and the life force that moves through us.
Early Bird by Nov 5
The Way of Kung Fu – The Art of Meeting Life
Amsterdam
November 1, 2026
11:00 – 23:30
What if Kung Fu is not about fighting, pushing through or performing?
What if it is about learning how to meet the flow of life?
As leaves are falling and the new cycle of Fall begins – we invite you to a day of gentle movement, breath, sounds, tea ceremony, and connection – a day to step out of the usual pace of modern-day life and come back home within. We will explore the Taoist art of meeting life with more presence and less force. A spacious yet intentional space to root, receive, express and meet each other more deeply – leaving you potentially feeling more grounded, energised and connected.
No previous experience with Tai Chi, Qigong or Meditation is needed.

Tantric Bodywork & Ritual for Lovers – Intro Training – Amsterdam
Amsterdam
November 29, 2026
11:00 – 19:00
What if the way we touch, hold, and meet each other could become a sacred expression of love? Through deep presence, conscious touch, and opening ourselves to give and receive more fully, we can discover new depths of intimacy, where the boundaries between you and me begin to soften, and we experience something greater together – the beauty of Sacred Union. The merge of the feminine and masculine in one into ecstasy and mystery.
Tantric Bodywork & Ritual for Lovers is a full-day experiential journey and introductory training for lovers and couples who wish to deepen their love and connection, explore the art of presence, letting go and sacred touch, and bring more intimacy, pleasure, and aliveness into your relationship.
Through guided practices, Tantric rituals, and hands-on bodywork training, you will learn practical techniques and practices to hold, touch, and care for one another with greater awareness, sensitivity, and devotion. You will likely experience more liberation and ecstasy from a more whole place within yourself, and with a deeper understanding of how to bring more presence, intimacy, and conscious touch into your relationship at home.
EARLY BIRD BY Nov 4
Microdosing Party Amsterdam – Truffle Cacao Special
Noord Yoga School, Amsterdam
November 15, 2026, 14:00 – 19:00
Since 2023, after decades of going out at night, then going all to the other side exploring sober and conscious spaces, we realized we wanted to co-create a space where socialising could be both fun and deep. This is how the movement of the ‘Microdosing Party’ was born, by Paradigm Xchange.
This is for you if you want more fun, aliveness, freedom and more permission to “be just yourself” without drinking alcohol. This is also for you if you want more intention, more depth, and deeper connections beyond the small talk, and meet people from heart-to-heart.
This is also your space if you want to discover the magic of human connection, gently supported by the medicine of truffle
For this special Autumn edition, on Sunday, November 15, we’re creating a slightly different vibe: a slower, quieter and more intentional beginning, with cacao and truffle coming together harmoniously in a warm ceremony with meditation and sounds, before the party begins.

Tea & Shibari – The Quiet Fire
Liminal, Amsterdam
November 27, 2026
17:30 – 23:30
This is not your average party.
You are warmly invited to a special November edition of Tea & Shibari on Friday night, November 27, with Kozy, Leila, and Shibari Artists at LIMINAL in Amsterdam.
As autumn deepens and the days grow quieter, we gather under the theme “The Quiet Fire.”
As nature turns inward, the light softens and the pace slows. Outside, the world becomes colder and darker, while within, we are invited to tend to the warmth, presence, and life force that quietly lives within us.
Together, we create a space to pause as the season deepens. A moment to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and find warmth within through beauty, presence, and ritual.
Like gathering around a quiet fire as the world outside grows still, the evening unfolds through live Shibari performances that explore themes of intimacy, trust, surrender, and connection.ce at the beautiful and artistic Salon of Ruigoord.

“Sacred Blue Lotus Immersion – een magische reis naar binnen. Gisteren mocht ik deelnemen aan de Sacred Blue Lotus Immersion en wat een bijzondere ervaring was dat! De dag begon met een betoverende thee ceremonie, geleid door Leila en Araliya, waarin woord en muziek naadloos samensmolten. Hun energie en aanwezigheid creëerden meteen een veilige en warme setting waarin ik volledig kon ontspannen. De ademhalingsoefeningen en Yoga-sessies waren prachtig afgestemd op de intentie van de dag en hielpen me om dieper in verbinding te komen met mezelf. Elke stap voelde als een uitnodiging om los te laten en te ontvangen. Het gebruik van de Sacred Blue Lotus maakte alles extra magisch. Dit smaakt absoluut naar meer – ik kom de volgende keer zeker weer!”

WHAT AM I HERE FOR
I am Leila Li — an old soul with the heart of a child. Rooted in China/the East, shaped by the West. Since childhood, I’ve felt the whisper of the ancient — a quiet knowing that I came here to carry the wisdom of my ancestors and find the true home of my soul – not just this little world I was put in. Even through the hardest survival moments, a part of me never forgot. And as I began to remember more, life became devotion — to the ancient, to the Tao, to Nature, to the Life Force that moves through all things.
I’ve lived in five countries and walked between worlds — from corporate boardrooms to silent ceremonies, from ecstatic dance floors to the stillness of the mountains, from simple joy of a child to the dark night of the soul. I’ve tasted both light and shadow, and learned to weave them into one — in softness and in wildness, in grace and in truth. Because I have a taste of the orgasmic beauty of the totality of life myself, and simply want to share that through the medicines I carry, with whoever it resonates with and are ready for.
I walk this devotional path as a sacred mirror including all what comes in this intense, humble but beautiful human life — holding space for beauty, truth, remembering and full expression of your soul. Through the medicines I carry — touch, ritual, ceremony, loving presence — I hold space for you to return to your own essence.
My work is not about doing more, but about coming home.
To your breath.
To your body.
To your truth.
I walk beside you as a mirror, a companion, and a reminder that you already are what you seek.
Way of Remembering: A 3-Month Immersive Journey
Each month invites a new portal — Body, Heart, Soul — to return you to what’s real and what truly matters. Through In-person Sessions, Guided Online Practices & Rituals and Creative Soul Work, you’ll root deeper into your essence, soften into feeling, and awaken the beauty of being. You will likely feel less need to perform or compare, and instead more life force energy flowing to help co-create with life and manifest what you truly want. I am giving everything I have got into this immersive journey.
→ Private intimate journeys (recommended in-person+online, can also be online only)
1:1 Deep Dive Journeys
I offer tailored private sessions that combine deep presence, with options of Coaching, Tantric Bodywork & Dearmouring, NARM Embodied Trauma Healing, Plant Medicine Journeys, Rituals and Embodiment. We move with what is here — grief, eros, tenderness, shadow, longing, joy — all of it is welcome including Sexual/Life Force energy. This is not about fixing. It’s about remembering. Landing in the truth of your soul through the wisdom of your body, through the guidance of the intelligence/the unknown.
Each session includes a preparation and an integration video calls, can be paired with extra online coaching to deep dive into more complex intentions and life challenges.
→ In-person in Amsterdam or through Online Coaching
Sacred Spaces & Ceremonies
I co-create and hold sacred spaces rooted in reverence, humility, and truth. These regular gatherings (e.g. Tantric Temple Gathering, Microdosing Ceremonies, Microdosing Party, Ancient Tea and Blue Lotus Ceremonies) are ecstatic, elemental, feminine, and ancient — blending ritual, movements, prayer, silence, arts and sacred touch. It’s in a group setting yet highly personal. For individuals or intimate groups ready to meet life as a ceremony.
I also occasionally organise events, retreats or trainings (e.g. annual Tantric Bodywork Training and medicine retreats) for experienced teachers that I trust and want to learn from. As well to bring their beautiful work more out to this world.
→ In-person around Amsterdam (based) and occasionally Europe
1:1 Three-Month Container (Way of Remembering)
In Taoist wisdom, Way is the natural path of life, the living rhythm of nature — flowing like rivers, cycling like seasons, returning us to harmony with all things. In Tantra, Remembering is not about learning something new — but awakening what is already within. To live fully, to love deeply, to honour the body and the life energy as sacred, in every moment.
This is a deep dive journey into remembering more of your essence and soul, through some of the most potent and powerful tools such as Tantra & Tantric Bodywork, Plant Medicines, ancient Taoist Wisdom and Sacred Presence.
Each month invites a new portal – Body, Heart and Soul – to return you to what truly matters and who you truly are.
