How would it feel to know that there are more of us out here than you can possibly imagine? A tribe waiting to connect and play in this magical field that we have innate access to?
Portland Latihan and Tantric Ceremony (Puja) w/ Monique and Peter

Learning to move in the unknown is the OPPOSITE of being controlling. It’s the opposite of needing to be “Right”. Practicing moving in the unknown is the medicine for holding your body in knots and tension in your abdomen, anxiety in your chest, and clenching in your root.
Have you ever experienced any of those things?
Latihan is the practice of surrender in the most pleasurable way. It can be a daily, weekly or monthly practice by your divine self or with a partner.
