Magic of Tantric Connection

Alison Petrie

Real, heartfelt connection is what we crave and Tantra has the answer.

We connect all the time with people, with situations and with life but Tantric practices have the power to shift an everyday moment into an extraordinary connection

Tantra is about slowing down and being here right now with this person, this Touch and this breath, bringing a sense of sacredness to this moment.
Magic can happen in a meeting of eyes, sharing a dance, in a heartfelt embodied hug, a tender gesture or through conscious loving touch.
Tantra is about slowing down and being here right now with this person, this Touch, and this breath, bringing a sense of sacredness to this moment.

Evening Interactive Ritual – Blue Lotus Ceremony

Jasmeen Hanah

In many traditions a certain Brew is offered and drunk together to invoke certain qualities. In the Ancient Egyptian tradition it was the Blue Lotus.

In this evening ceremony you are invited to join with the intention of deep surrender to the mystery. As the blue lotus invokes vision and clarity it also invokes sensual pleasure. In the sound scapes of the crystal bowls with Sam Pemberton and the hypnotic trance of Ria Rhythms ecstatic beats, Jasmeen Hana will guide a journey through the darkness of the lotus mud and underworlds, into the solar flame to flower the ecstatic innocence of union.

This ceremony is one to support our longing for authentic intimacy where the entire self is present. Can we be so naked to our living and dying parts and be seen and witnessed ultimately by ourselves and eventually by others.

Can Eros flower from our purity as well as our fire?

This evening ritual ceremony is created to support deep exploration through the voice and sound scapes of music and lyrical guidance into an ecstatic dance.

Jasmeen Hana

Sacred Seductress

Elisa Caro

Own your pleasure.

Know your power.

Dance with your erotic energy.

The arts of sacred seduction are lost in our culture, our bodies and bedroom. We’ve put so many ‘shoulds’, shame and guilt around our body, sensuality and the way we dance. Seduction has become a script. We’ve lost the effortlessness and confidence of movement in our body. Especially in the gaze of another!

You deserve to feel at home in your body and express your sensuality with ease, grace and power. To ignite yourself and your partner!

Taught by a Tantrica and an ex-erotic dancer, this workshop blends erotic dance techniques with the sacredness of tantra. You’ll learn to you reclaim your ability to be effortlessly seductive: confident, at home in your body, juicy. You’ll learn to take direction from your own body, not scripts of how you ‘should’ be.

This workshop is for women and men (trans and non-binary welcome too, of course).

Benefits:

Own your pleasure and ignite your passion.
Play with erotic energy.
Release shame and and embody effortless sensual power.
Find self-love and self-cherishing
Feel more connection with your body

The information, insights and practical tools presented will apply to couples who are straight, gay and everyone in between. The presentation will start with a talk and will develop into practical exercises that people can use to maintain the sizzle and spark in their relationships. There is no nudity or intimate touch included.

The Art of Pleasuring Her

Tara Fischer

Tara will be presenting the Art of Pleasuring Her. She will discuss the importance of Tantric massage for women which can be a very healing, sensual, nurturing and powerful experience. All women are naturally tantric. Unfortunately this is something we are not taught and something we must learn. We can live our lives opening to only a fraction of our orgasmic potential and for some women none at all.

This can be due to a range of many things from sexual traumas, social conditioning, the way we have been approaching sex or the way we have been approached. Tantric massage can not only heal the past but open you to states of pleasure you never knew existed. Feminine sexuality has so much power, connection, lovingness and transformational qualities. It is so important we learn how to surrender and access this part of our being, our womb/breast connection.

The Art of Pleasuring Her is a way to learn how to open a woman to her sensual orgasmic nature, as well as, healing old traumas. Incorporating slow sensual touch, breathing, and sounding. Tara will be discussing the importance of evolving past our current model of pleasuring and share a live demonstration of tantric yoni massage. This is a powerful and educational transmission not to be missed.

Benefits:

How to Provide What a Woman Wants Sexually
The Importance of Breast/Yoni connection and how to do this with finesse
How a Women’s Arousal System Really works and how to turn it on!
New Communication Skills to take out the guess work in pleasuring a woman
Tantric Massage techniques
LIVE Demo of a Sacred Tantric Massage & Yoni Massage

These are essential life skills for everyone whether you are single or in a relationship. This workshop is open to all genders.

Erotic Fantasy and Tantric Rituals

Shivani Ma

What’s your erotic fantasy and sexual starring role? How can Tantra Yoga help bring your fantasy to life in a safe and empowering way?

Fear, shame, guilt, and time restraints often mean we fantasize about our sexual desires rather than experience them fully.

Cosplay, bondage, D&S, nature trysts, voyeuristic, exhibitionism, threesomes, foursomes, “moresomes” … No matter your jam in fantasy land, your imagination does not define you, and does not have to align with your beliefs and lifestyle. But your fantasys contain important sensations, emotions, and insights, that when role played, can bring a deep sense of liberation and satisfaction, and can spark excitement when you return to your real life and next engage in intimacy. In the safe and playful space of this tantra workshop, you can act out your fantasy, or be a part of, and be inspired by, someone’s fantasy. Shivani will guide you through a ‘relaxing, oily, and melty’ tantra ritual to set the stage for you to erode taboo, spark confidence, and bring yur fantasy world into present moment erotic bliss.

Divinity in Matter

Janine Ma-ree

An experiential ritual temple exploring the ecstatic. We will go on a journey of alchemy that takes us deep into matter to embody the ecstatic upwelling waiting for us there. A journey that includes the erotic, the elements, the earth and the cosmic bodies, to open to the ecstatic. Each atom spin on its own axis of love and at its core is the union of spirit and matter, the dark light. The denial of the divinity of matter has silenced the song of the world and the dark light. Through descending into matter through our bodies, we can awaken and access the dark light of the atom in land, the earth, the rocks, the trees, the plants, the fungal network. Matter is alive, can be awakened and has its own primal wisdom. As the matter in our bodies becomes realigned with our divine nature, it begins to vibrate and sing in ecstasy. This offering is a journey into the vibration of ecstasy and the embodiment of divinity in matter.

Evolution of Men’s Sexuality

Eve Marie

This talk offers a fascinating deep dive and expansive viewpoint on Men’s Sexuality and Men’s Sexual Health.
What’s Happening in Men’s Sexuality?
What’s Working?
What’s New?
Where Are We Going and Evolving To?

In the past, Men’s Sexuality has been regarded as “simple” and that women’s sexuality is “complex” and much of the focus has been on women’s sexuality and rightly so, women’s sexuality needed our attention and of course it will continue to grow.

It’s been proven that Men’s Sexuality is anything but simple. There is so much new information coming through, essential pieces that the conventional model of sexuality just does not acknowledge, include or entertain. It’s been a while since we updated and caught up with what’s happening in men’s sexuality and brought it forward into current day reality.

This session combines biological science with relational psychology, emotional intelligence and innocent curiosity, we explore the maps of Men’s Sexuality and the roads less travelled. It opens up much needed conversations with lot’s of new and juicy information that is lesser known, pieces of gold that Eve has been mining from the last 11 years of working with Men, Women & Couples in sexuality session work.

Gender Requirements: All gender identities and sexual orientations welcome
Partnered practices: Diad sharing & embodiment exercise
Nudity Level: Soul only

Benefits:

This talk is for Men of all ages who want to learn:

How to connect more fully in how they are relating to themselves in their own sexuality.
What’s at the core of sexual “dysfunction”.
How to build more satisfying and sustainable sexual connections with their partners.

This talk is very much a session for women also:

For women who want to get on the same page as their partners.
For women who want to learn how to receive, love and support their men in a more effective way.
For women who want to take a deeper look at the masculine aspects of their own sexuality.
