Tantra
& Relationship Workshops
Our aim over the
weekend is to provide a varied series of workshops, from introductory
ones in a safe non-threatening space, to some of the more advanced techniques
in exploring energy and expanded consciousness.
We are delighted
to welcome our team of Tantra teachers who are highly respected and
influential practitioners in their field. Their work has inspired many
and is accessible to all: young/old, couples or singles, straight or
gay. If you know of someone who has attended a tantra workshop and not
benefited, we shall refund your entry ticket!
What
is Tantra?
Those who have never practised or read about Tantra have a range of
images:
religious
rituals
naked people frolicking on large mattresses
sarong-clad couples, cross-legged on cushions, gazing adoringly into
each others’ eyes
incense, candles and phallic sculptures
the draping of Indian bedspreads and lambskin rugs
and of course sex
But in reality it
is none of these. And people are missing out on a rich world of meditation,
healing, personal exploration and insight. In Mahasatvaa Ma Ananda Sarita’s
words:
‘Tantra
is an art, a science, a spiritual path and a lifestyle. It is a Sanskrit
word which essentially means transformation. The basic concept of this
life approach is that each human being is a reflection of the entire
cosmos. By entering inside one's own subjective being with a witnessing
consciousness, all aspects of the body / mind and emotions are revealed
in their refined potential. The refined potential of every human being
is divine. Therefore, in Tantra, the whole person is accepted as divine.
Each aspect of being human can become a door to expanded consciousness.’
From Sarita and
Geho's book "Tantric Sex" Published by Gaia.

6 The Attraction of Opposites
Sarita and Chintan will be exploring the empowerment and healing of male/female
dynamics. Tantra offers potent methods, helping us rediscover and expand
our capacity to love, to know bliss of body and soul, and to bring the
quality of the sacred into sexuality and relating. Deep down, every man
and woman senses the possibility of deep fulfilment in relationship. The
code is written into our very essence. Perhaps we never had adequate education,
which could give us access to the ultimate bliss hidden in the meeting
of male and female polarities. |

Mahasatvaa Ma Ananda Sarita & Swami Nirav Chintan
Duration: 3 hours
Date/Time: Sat 3.15 pm to 6.15 pm
Venue The Flavel, top floor studio

7 The Full Man and The Full Women
What do the fully empowered masculine and feminine look like? And what
is holding us back from that empowerment? Is it just our personal 'stuff',

times. |
