TANTRA WEEKEND


THE ART OF TANTRA
Tantra says say Yes to everything. It means say Yes to what is happening and to do this first we need to be aware of what that means. Exploring this is to begin by rediscovering our Sexual Energy and realizing that it is our playfullness. Awareness is an important part of reclaiming this Energy. Sexual Energy is our aliveness, our creativity and our birthright of expression through the physical body.
In this workshop we will explore our first chakra energy so that we can experience how this energy feels. It is the Bioenergy of the physical body. The electricity which runs between people. The excitement and the juice that wakes us up and keeps us interested in life and creativity. It is not only the energy we make love with, that is only a small part of it. It is the nectar, the fluid, the beauty, heightened senses and exaggerated sensuality! All of this plus more is available to us when we accept our reality and slowly pursue the Art of Tantra.

Many of us have closed and become bitter about our sex energy. We are afraid to express ourselves openly and honestly. We are afraid to allow this vulnerability.

This workshop is to find the playful spirit we once knew or tasted. Come and play in this wondrous energyfield we will create. Be here and join others interested in this exciting and alive Indian tradition! This workshop is sincere but not serious. It is sensitive and allows you the freedom to make conscious choices. You will wake up to an experience of energy realizing that with awareness you do not have to be controlled by these feelings rather you can engage in the Art of Tantra as a slow and conscious journey.
“Sex is meaningful only when out of lust, love is born. Love is meaningful only when out of love, prayer is born. If your sex remains just sexuality, a circular repetition, a mechanical thing that you go on doing, then you will remain meaningless. Because sex is your energy; it has to be transformed. It is very crude, it is raw material. Much has to be done on it. It is a raw diamond. You have to cut it, you have to polish it, you have to give it a shape and a form.You have to give it beauty. It depends on you.” Osho

WHERE: The Ashram in the Bush, Rosebank (near Byron Bay)
To introduce the weekend, we will hold a SOCIAL Meditation open to the local community.

FIRE BREATHING MEDITATION (Friday evening)

This meditation wakes up the body and quickly brings us back into our energy. It uses a kind of Breathing technique that helps us to open up to a world of feelings. The side effects are clear as the body rids itself of unwanted tension and toxins. In the relaxation that follows - Meditation is the natural outcome! This will help to revitalize your spirit and soul as well as opening the doors to natural expressiveness.

COST FOR MEDITATION ONLY: ($25.00)
Eat a light meal before the event. Wear loose comfy clothes.
Fruit snack provided after the meditation
"And once you know this uncontrolled lifeenergy, you are no more in it.
You have become just awave in a great ocean, and things are just happening.
You are not forcing them to happen." Osho
