Tantra is elegantly simple at it’s core. It invites us to bring consciousness to that which was unconscious. That is all. And it is enough. From this consciousness we find the building blocks to fulfill two great desires:

*Know who I am

*Love myself

Tantra is not about learning something new, but remembering who we are. And what we are: Complete expressions of divine love.

Tantra a journey of uniting of our heart and mind. body and soul. sexuality and spirituality. Tantra supports the release of guilt, shame and fear which hinders us in fulfilling our purpose and experiencing maximum joy and ease in this life.

The word Tantra is derived from Sanskrit root “tan” meaning to increase, expand or stretch, with tantra meaning to weave, loom or woven together. Thus it can be said to mean we increase as we bring together, we expand as we integrate. Tantra is a path to embodied bliss. It is a path of Yes. Tantra is the only practice which includes everything. Excludes nothing.

The practical application of Tantra to our modern lives offers the key to find the freedom we yearn for and intimacy of connection we desire.

Yes, absolutely! In fact many people have their very first experience of tantra at a festival, because it is go at your own pace & you have a choice of workshops or to relax versus committing to a journey with one group or teacher. It is also the perfect place to get many flavors & styles of tantra so you can discover what is for you and what is not.
