with Lori Grace Star, Michael Pooley and Phil Willcher
In a safe, gentle, and respectful environment, we will explore how to connect our hearts and our sexuality with Spirit, and how to allow ourselves to tap into and surrender to the flow of our natural lifeforce energy.
Through breath, movement, music, dance, dialog, bio-energetics and inter-personal interaction, we will learn to:
• Let go of our minds
• Show up in the moment
• Become fully present in our bodies
• Create sacred space and time
• Enhance trust and intimacy with others
Expect to gain practical tools for deepening your ability to be present, relaxed and ecstatic; awakening your body's awareness, balance, and vitality; and understanding the spiritual dimensions of sexual energy and intimacy. The day will culminate with a very special Tantric puja (sacred ritual) to celebrate and honor your capacity for love and connection. Afterwards, we'll gather for a potluck dinner, and spend time soaking together in the hot tubs and pool.
This playshop is equally appropriate for singles, couples, and partners — no tantric experience is required. While we will seek to gender balance the group, please know that coming with a romantic partner is not required. We look forward to seeing you there!
