We are all sexual human beings and how we and our parents relate to sexuality influences whole life.
It defines the quality of our relationships, how we live our lives, how we raise our children or communicate with our parents.
It can be a huge resource of energy or it can create blocks in our mind and our body hindering us to live a fulfilled life.

TESTIMONIALS
I understood that I am basically a sexual human being, my sexuality is sacred and it’s ok to express it towards others.
I found Maya and Pieter fantastic, loving, open-hearted and well-educated trainers. I felt completely safe during the program.
Maya and Pieter are both fantastic therapists, who led our group through unforgettable experiences. They matched our culture, speed and I guess also our souls. With their experiences and insight they were completely present, and created such a safe space where could get to really profound understandings.
I loved discovering what my body expresses and I could trust it more than words or what I actually see. I started to like myself and love myself and it works: if I’m ok with myself, I have less expectations towards others.
The training process was intensive, profound, safe and joyful. I really feel more grounded in my sexuality, and more aware of how to support my children’s healthy sexual development.
This training was a bumpy road to heaven for me. One of the many benefits is to learn how to deal with my sexual energy, so that it is a source of joy, just like I always wanted it to be.
I found the training very touching: activated very essential, strong feelings – and helped handle them – which had not been accessible through other methods. I really appreciated the safe space held by the trainers, the self-confidence, strength and the capacity and willingness to experience joy in life as a result, so for, of the training. I feel more open, more stable, more mature.
I can trust more in my male power. It was a real experience. I’ve got lots of love, and I’m proud of what I was given.
This training has changed deeply the relationship with myself, with my body, and also my relationship with others and with outside world. I found a deep, calm and warm place in me and also in people eyes, and touches. I become more aware of my needs, and from this I have more self-confidence and joy in my life.

WHAT ARE YOU CURIOUS ABOUT?
We collected answers for the most common questions. In case you don’t find an answer to yours, do not hesitate to contact us!
Yes of course. It is important to note that Basic training works with childhood and the emerging traumas can put a strain on the relationship. Although these conflicts could contain the possibility of developing together, they definitely require extra effort from both members of the couple.
However, Advanced Year is strongly recommended for couples.
The weekend workshops are open, there are no prerequisites for applying. The Basic training can be attended by those who have already learned the funds of the method in at least one short workshop, and with a personal interview, the trainers have made sure that the possibilities of the group meet the expectations of the applicant.
During the annual trainings, we provide full board with varied, mostly vegetarian meals.
The weekend workshops are held in Budapest, they are not retreats, everyone takes care of the meals during the day.
Cancellation conditions are unique for each program. The method and amount of possible refunds are considered on an individual basis in order to preserve the safety of the group and help the outgoing member as best as possible.
In all such cases, please contact us as soon as possible in order to find the best solution for everyone.
We will look for an individual solution. The main aspect is that both the participant and the group can safely continue the work they have started.
Issues of sexuality are equally important for everyone and the challenging points are the same, regardless of sexual orientation. LGTBQ people also have the opportunity to join our programs, we are happy to see them.
ERASMUS+
ERASMUS+ “Body to soul” tender
We were very pleased that with international cooperation, we had the opportunity to participate in professional trainings and develop together within the framework of the Erasmus+ programs. The members of our professional team participated in several trainings in Western Europe in 2019, and we all participated in a special course called Heart & Sexuality Professional Training organized by the Dutch BodyMind Opleidingen, as we were able to deepen the studies and practices of the previous years.
The members of the Heart&Sexuality professional team are: Ákos Németh, Bori Hoppál, Györgyi Séllei, Ágoston Németh, Erika Fekete, Boróka Pordán and Miklós Wenczl.
At the moment, probably until the beginning of 2021, we cannot assign exact timings to the individual programs, as body-oriented work requires personal participation. We hope that we can schedule and make our programs available as soon as possible.
Supported programs:
- Ákos Németh took part in the training held in the Ost-West Centrum in Belgium. Here he learned about the methodology and dynamics of leading men’s groups, based on mixed tools and favoring body-conscious methods. The acquired curriculum includes:
- deepening self-awareness using conscious movement/dance and the support of the men’s group
- personality development, deepening the heritage of the paternal line,
- male roles and responsibilities in the modern world,
- the classic male archetypes on the life line (child, teenager, dancer, husband, father, warrior, wise old man),
- the conscious connection with nature,
- and Joanna Macy’s “The Work that Reconnects” methodology.
- The entire Hungarian H&S professional team had the opportunity to participate in the professional training of BodyMind Opleidingen in the Netherlands. This meant a 6 days of intensive training for instructors and coaches working with the Heart&Sexuality methodology, using body-oriented methods. Here we had the opportunity to learn about relationship dynamics, family roles and changes in responsibilities, as well as the connection to our own and our partner’s generational lines.
- Ágoston Németh and Boróka Pordán had the opportunity to participate in the methodological insight weekend of the Verein Jagati association in Austria. During the intensive weekend, our colleagues got to know several different movement-based systems, and encountered different movement-based modalities in an intensive and concentrated form.
Results
We presented the acquired knowledge and techniques at six professional events in Hungary. These new, innovative educational methodologies can have a developmental impact on the domestic sphere as well. These include:
- Professional intervision days (practice days) every two months with the participation of the professional team.
- School educational events (with the help of Györgyi Séllei, Bori Hoppál, Ágoston Németh and Ágnes Széplaki).
- “Interactions” – open training (led by Ákos Németh and Bori Hoppál)
- 1-day taster (Playshop)
- 2-days weekend workshops – longer series will be organized in the upcoming years.
- H&S Basic annual group training – it requires a 1-year commitment from the participants, and we also organize a one-week summer camp, which we would like to hold every year.
Unfortunately, because of the restrictions caused by the Covid situation, we couldn’t start as much programs as we were planning, even though we already put a lot of effort in them. However, we are not disappointed, as we plan to start women’s and men’s groups in the future, to enable more school sex education programs, and to start the H&S Basic annual group training.
We are really proud of the results achieved by this tender, but the most important output is the formation of the Hungarian professional team. We are all deeply committed to make the lives, relationships and intimacy of the participants in our programs freer, fuller and more honest with the tools and knowledge we have acquired.
