WHO THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR:

This weekend is open to  all genders, sexualities, singles & couples, the complete beginner and the experienced self-growth addicts. It doesn’t matter your age or what stage of life you are at.

To anyone who deeply desires to experience a powerful, loving, blissful and intimate relationship with themselves AND with others, this workshop will be a lasting transformative journey!

While it explores the fundamentals, there will also be some there who are repeating the weekend because it has been so valuable for them. This is a whole new way of relating, which sheds the layers of old habits and conditioning.

WORKSHOP BREAKDOWN:

~ SATURDAY: Inner Union ~

Embodied and/or Tantric relating starts with you, so the first day of the workshop is all about your relationship to self, or in Tantra - 'Inner Union'. Through exploring the unconscious; collective and personal conditioning; attachment theory and the archetypal energies of the masculine and feminine we will guide you through a range of teachings and embodiment exercises to deepen your understanding of your own personal history and limiting beliefs that impact your sense of self and relating to others. 

On Day One you will:

• RELEASE resistance to pain and attachment to pleasure and understand how this is the number one cause of unnecessary suffering.

• Feel the FREEDOM AND RELIEF of acknowledging old wounds, expressing stored tension in the body, and re-writing your story to create the experiences you crave in life.

• Explore ways to SAFELY HOLD YOURSELF in times of distress and discomfort, by starting to reparent your inner child with loving presence.

• Cultivate healthy masculine (witnessing, presence and safety) & feminine (expressive, fluid and feeling) energies within your own being to embrace a state of INNER WHOLENESS.

• Better understand frustrating and hard to shift patterns of running away from or madly towards love, and learn how to SHOW UP FOR YOURSELF

• Create deeply INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS by ending conflict and drama cycles, and push pull dynamics in partnership and releasing the need for external validation and approval. 

• Learn tools to EXPRESS YOUR EMOTIONS HEALTHILY rather than suppressing or projecting it onto others.

• Discover self-responsibility by letting go of the need to change/fix yourself & others, and by vulnerably expressing your NEEDS AND BOUNDARIES. 

~ SUNDAY: Relational Dynamics & Sacred Union; Solo, Paired & Group Embodiment Practices ~

Having explored how to hold ourselves with safety and presence, we look at how to keep your heart open with a sense of inner wholeness and sovereignty when moving towards external relationships. Sunday explores relating in all contexts - with family, friends and colleagues - as well as the Tantric idea of Sacred Union between two lovers. We also explore how to awaken your sensual body and find more ease, joy and pleasure in ALL aspects of our relating.

On Day Two you will:

• Learn simple but effective communication tools that will FOSTER CONNECTION and intimacy, rather than fuelling conflict.

• Learn how to keep your body and nervous system REGULATED when relating activates or triggers you.

• Gain deeper understanding of the RELATIONAL DYNAMICS you may be drawn to, both healthy and unhealthy, and how to show up in the way you want to, rather than falling into people pleaser, running away, or saying things in the heat of the moment, that you wish you could take back.

• FREE YOURSELF yourself of social and personal conditioning around sex and sexuality, and open to DEEPER LEVELS OF PLEASURE throughout your entire body

• Be a CONFIDENT AND PRESENT LOVER 

• Engage in the ritual of TANTRIC UNION with 'eyes & heart open' by transforming any blocks and fears around connection and intimacy; practicing how to use your voice to express your fears, boundaries and desires; and slowing everything down to open to greater sensation.

• Explore the pleasure and deep transformation available when you experience intimate connection through physical, heart and soul level intimacy as a HEALING MODALITY

• Practice a Tantric way of connecting sexual energy, where instead of racing towards an end goal, you can RELAX INTO SENSUAL CONNECTION that lasts for hours; where the mind stops, the body opens and  pure love & consciousness expand.

• Learn to MAGNETIZE a partner with your awareness and your love so you can envelop those you meet with a loving, heart centred presence and state of wholeness.
