04/02/2025, Bruce’s place
Monique and I have not been back to teach in Portland for a few years, and we are thrilled Susan Cohn of Tastes of Tantra has invited us back for two amazing nights of events!
We attach the word ‘sacred’ to any practice, experience, or way-of-being that slows us down and deepens our experience of being alive.
Come with your desire to unmask the secrets of your heart.
Come ready to release those energies that hold you back from manifesting love.
Come explore ways to experience more joy fully in your life.
We will start the night with Latihan (a movement meditation for moving in the unknown)
First let’s talk a little but about how NOT moving in the unknown is one of the most costly, invisible limitations that sabotage our lives.
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.
After Latihan…let us lead you through a Neo Tantra ceremony or Puja.
Monique Darling and Peter Petersen invite you to a night of Adoration.
It is a beautiful ceremony of honoring and adoring the Divine that dwells within each of us, and brings us into a profound space of connection and universal Love.
Through Silence, profound questions, and other authentic, connection stations.
Step into a world of acceptance and sensation where all of you is welcome. Each person is invited into magical connections to expand your experience/capacity of giving and receiving. The ritual begins the moment you enter as you are celebrated, seen and adored for ALL you are.
This evening’s ceremony is dedicated to all genders. In fact, participants will not know who they will be in the giving to or receiving from role until each station, (Unless you come with a partner and want to stay together).
We will use movement, sound and the five elements, all given to us with ample instruction, enriching each experience throughout the evening. You may find yourself turning inwards and becoming aware of abundant love and innate beauty that is part of your being.
This ceremony opens people’s hearts in a way that allows them to see the inner beauty and the Divine within us all.
Taking part in these rituals is a very powerful way to reconnect and relate with all aspects of ourselves. It is through the practice of unconditional loving that we find that any emptiness or longing we feel within us can be filled with a simple act of giving.
We welcome you to reclaim your space and powerful place in the world as we unveil your deepest core. You will leave enchanted, having fallen more deeply in love with YOU.
With open hearts and deep connection you will be “rebirthed” from a place of complete vulnerability and fullness as you choose to wake up to YOU!
This is a non-sxxual experience and welcomes everyone, singles will rotate, and couples may stay together if they want.
