04/10/2021 thru 04/17/2021, Cabo San Lucas
We want you to thrive with a sustainable exploring of Tantra as you unfold empowerment, embodiment, and depth of spiritual connection.
“Tantra” just to say it, brings up numerous feelings, definitions, implications, expectations, and for most people, some level of curiosity.
Is it a religion? Is it all about Sxx? Is it a cult? Isn’t it ancient, what could it possibly teach me? Let’s dive into the myths of Tantra and uncover what’s its truly about.
Tantra is a way of life, a coming home to the deepest depths of who you truly are, it’s a remembrance of your innate birthright. A path filled with ritual, ceremony, and daily practices around breath, sound, and movement, to help you fall madly in love with yourself, and remind you that YOU are the gift! There is nothing to prove, you are worthy, just because you exist!
Tantra is accessed through many avenues. In this class, we will also explore Mantra (chanting), Yantra (use of sacred geometry of energy), Mudras (how to unlock energy and insight with body gestures), Pranayama (breath practice) and sacred symbol exploration to gain wisdom, calm and understanding. These things are often passed over when going to a modern Tantra class because they can seem complicated or out of reach for many. But here, with humor, detailed explanation and understanding, you’ll learn how to use these with ease. This is truly foundational.
We want you to thrive with a sustainable exploration of Tantra as you unfold empowerment, embodiment, and depth of spiritual connection. Pleasure and joy are the by-products. We look forward to providing you tools to reduce stress, find greater acceptance, make clear decisions, know your emotions and body better, enjoy community and family more and, ultimately, have a better relationship to yourself. This is your life, live it well!
This week long intensive is set in a luxurious setting, beaches, stunning sunrises and sunsets, delicious food, a heated salt water pool and hot tub.
We will be joined by the man who first introduced me to Tantra, the one who finally broke me of my habit of trying to control and explain life with all my “how to” questions, and instead helped me remember and eventually integrate that it’s only ever been about what’s in the way.
Shawn Roop is the best story teller I’ve ever met, he lives, breathes, IS Tantra. One of his greatest talents is bringing ancient Tantric text to life in delicious contemporary ways that are relevant to the lives we are living today.
During the week, Peter, Shawn and I are going to unpack the belief systems and conditionings that have been given you from well meaning parents, teachers, loved ones, churches, and society. Giving you the opportunity to drop the ones that no longer serve you, and make more space for those that do.
We will be offering the tools, tips, and practices that help to empower you and ultimately fall in love with all the beautifully unique pieces that make up you…. a divinely perfect soul and a uniquely flawed human. I can’t wait for you to find that the only perfection to be had is in loving and accepting all your imperfect parts.
We will be diving into ways we spiritually bypass, distract and distance ourselves from our own live, our own emotions, and most importantly, our own body!
Tantra is merging heaven and earth in our bodies, so what happens when we have never learned how to occupy our own physical space, choosing to soar in the clouds or multiverses, staying stuck in our minds or intellect, or disassociating because of past traumas or unfelt emotions are making our physical bodies painful or ultra uncomfortable.
It’s time!!
Time to come home to you!! Fully, deeply, sustainably.
We will dive deep into many Tantric rites, rituals, practices, and experiences that will revolve around breath, movement, sound, and touch; the 4 major ways energy moves through our bodies.
The focus of these practices is to see how profoundly we can fall in love with ourselves. When this happens, then you can meet everyone else from a place of abundance of love that comes from deep within your soul. From there, you can find out what is truly alive in your heart, and empower yourselves to go out and create from your highest excitement and pleasure.
The ability to relate that is created during these shared tantric experiences will create an intensely enchanting intimacy and confidence in rapport that actually feels like magic. (Because it is 😉 )
One of the things we all long for is to be heard, touched, and understood in life. During the week with us we intend to showcase how to do this with ease, elegance, grace, and play. (Play is often an aspect that gets overlooked.)
This training will also explore Shamanic Breathwork, guided meditations, and finding new ways to explore pleasure and melt deeper into a sacred union. (The sacred union that exists within us all, with nature, with the universe, with one another)
Learn how energy channels through the body and having more access to your own energy sensitivity.
Using Qigong and Dance to enhance your Vitality and submerge more into energy cultivation within yourself so you can be even more aware of energy in your partner, family, friends, the world.
Explore different types of Tantric Massage. Learning how to slow down and become more fully present with your touch. Discover the difference between giving and taking touch,
learn the 5 elements of touch and how to transmit different energies from you to your partner.
As well as the training, you will also have time to lie in the sun and swim in the sea…returning your body to its natural self, the state of bliss!
There will be plenty of opportunities to relish and enjoy the beautiful natural elements that southern Baja Mexico has to offer, like warm clear watered snorkeling, secluded beach walks and stunning sea side dinners.
Be ready to discover a clear path for tapping into your natural abilities for creating the life you desire where all of you is celebrated.
All activities and exercises will be guided and are optional. You can participate solo, with a partner and/or in small groups. Many options will be offered to support each individual experience.
