Sexuality, Love and Awareness
Its an energy that when is clear is a great source of joy and creativity and when unconscious can became the roots of deep frustration and confusion. The shame, guilt and misunderstanding around sexuality are touching all the realms of our lives, from our mental and physical health to our intimate relationships with partners, with life and with ourselves. To work with sexuality is to come back to our body with awareness, in love and deep respect.
In this group we are going to re-member our body and its miraculous source of feelings and sensations. We will learn how to create a container of trust as a group and as an individual to support us to reconnect and heal wounds and traumas from the past around our sexuality.
The same energy that has been used to keep us disconnected with the uncomfortable feelings and sensations from old experiences in our bodies becomes available to reconnect with our natural flow of sexuality, where we experience pleasure, joy and aliveness.
When we experience our energy flowing from its roots, we reach states of acceptance and relaxation and a flowering starts happening. The body becomes a doorway for meditation, awareness expands into unknown spaces and we become more open and receptive. We can move deeper into relating with ourselves with other people and with life.
”Do not go to the garden of flowers!
O Friend! go not there;
In your body is the garden of flowers.
Take your seat on the thousand petals of the lotus,
and there gaze
on the Infinite Beauty.”

Women's group - Liberation and Love
The feminine essence lays in our natural ability to be open and receptive, to live our radiance and trust in life.
In order to find space in a masculine oriented world women have developed their strength many times at the expense of essential feminine values. This loss of identity and connection with the feminine nature brings at times much confusion and distress.
On the other hand, out of lack of a positive mothering model and father's support at childhood, women grew up disconnected with their feminine strength. These patterns perpetuate into adulthood and women keep looking for their power outside of themselves, never connecting with their real inner strength.
In this course we invite women to come together and support each other to find real freedom, in our bodies, heart and mind; to be able to share our longing for love and intimacy and the gifts of our essential feminine energy.
The group dynamic, exercises and meditations will:
- Bring light and understanding to old habits and beliefs we have been carrying on from our mothers, grandmothers and the whole past of womanhood.
- Help us to look at the way we relate to man, our own responsibility on perpetuating the unconscious masculine/feminine distorted roles, and the patterns that has been shaping our intimate and sexual relationships.
- Bring understanding about the masculine and feminine energies we carry inside and find ways to balance this polarity, energetically and practically in daily life. - Clear the negative imprints and beliefs about our bodies, our sexuality and about being a woman.
- Support us to recognize and value our feminine power and wisdom and experience the dignity that womanhood offers each of us. We celebrate together the strength and openness that is our essence.
When a woman finds her real femininity, she is able to understand the masculine, as a deep part of herself. When she makes friends and integrates those polarized forces inside, a revolutionary shift happens and a feminine mystic is born.
The feminine mystic is a woman who is in touch with her body, her sensuousness and sexuality, she is at home in her heart and emotions, she brings these gifts into her creativity and purpose and into the unlimited realms of her soul.
Suddenly awaken
I open the window
and the heart smiles!
the velvet shinning grass
is dancing
under the full moon light.
The face of god!

Tantra for Women
The feminine essence lay in our natural ability to be open and receptive, to live our radiance and trust in life.
In this course women come together to create an ambient of trust and relaxation, to support each other discovering their feminine qualities and clearing out situations about being a woman and living in a woman's body.
A woman is by nature an infinite universe of possibilities. Some of the themes we will open to share are:
- The movement from teenager into womanhood. Clearing out the secrecy and shame around our "moon blood"(menstruation);
- Making connection with the sacred space of our bellies, our "power temple" that holds our physical and spiritual womb with its immense power for re-creation;
- Connection with our breast as an extension of our hearts, acknowledging our "temple of love" and its natural ability to embrace, nourish and receive;
- Pregnancy and women's longing to build a family and bare children - when it comes from a genuine call from the adult woman and when is based on unconscious patterns or external pressure from the environment;
- Space to share about pleasant as well as painful experiences around sexuality, misunderstandings and shame around our body and our first sexual experiences.
- Fears and insecurities as well as the great possibilities for deep wisdom and relaxation that comes with aging and menopause.
We will use Tantric meditations, practices and rituals that support us clearing the negative imprints and beliefs about our bodies, our sexuality and about being a woman.
This is a space to dance, sing and celebrate together the strength and openness that is our essence, to surrender and relax in our receptivity, vulnerability and love.
"The saffron of virtue and contentment
Is dissolved in the water-gun
of love and affection.
Pink and red clouds of emotion
are flying about,
Limitless colours
raining down."
Mirabai
Loving Relationship - Deeper Intimacy
(Conscious Relating for Couples, Lovers and Singles)
As humans, we are relational beings, and we all long for deep, intimate and fulfilling love relationships. Yet very often we experience intimate relationships as very complicated and many times our efforts to find and sustain love result in conflict, disappointment and frustration.
In this weekend we want to share our understanding about the theme of relationship.
Before we look into what happens when two people meet we will take some time to understand our own individual being. Often what we experience in relationships is a mirroring of our inner state, so to be able to relate to another in a healthy and conscious way we must first be in touch with ourselves.
That means we don’t need to be in a partnership in order to work on relationship.
We will have a clear and sincere look at the beliefs and myths we carry around relationship.
Many times we burden “intimate relationships” with a baggage of old and unconscious habits, expectations, fantasies and immature hopes - We dream about the “right one” that will bring me happiness and fulfill all my needs, and once we find “real love” it will stay as it was in the beginning forever.
The work is to realize that relationship is a living process, and as anything that is alive it needs care, nourishment and skillful practice to keep it flowing and flourishing.
We will share with you simple and easy skills and practices that support you to move from struggle, frustration and even wounding in relationship into a place of appreciation, support and mutual growth. These practices include keeping your energetic connection alive, conscious communication and understanding your partner’s needs and gifts.
Part of the weekend is devoted to understanding the male/female polarity, which is what drives us towards meeting each other in intimate relationships.
We look at how some fundamental differences in the masculine and feminine bodies, brains, and hormones shape our behavior in relationships.
When we understand and honor these differences, without confining ourselves to it, we create the base for a healthy polarity and a loving connection, which gives us the opportunity to love each other according to the old spiritual principle: We are mirrors for each other, through which we can see ourselves more clear and learn to love deeper.
In this Weekend we will:
- Bring understand to yourself and your beliefs about relationship
- Learn how to appreciate the male/female principle in myself and others. Understanding the basic dynamic of polarity, differences in sex, body, hormones, brain and behavior.
- Learn simple and practical tools to deal with relationship in day-to-day life.
- Include a spiritual dimension of dedication, learning and growth into your relationship

said my heart.
'Yes, but the price is your life'.
My heart leaped with joy and said:
Who cares about the price!"

Tantra, Energy and Awareness
A The word tantra means expansion of awareness.Tantra is a method to explore our energy trough conscious relating. It is an invitation to explore our sensuality and our sexuality, one of the most essential and creative forces in life. When we experience our energy from the depth of our roots, a flowering starts happening, we become more receptive and we start recognizing who we are as body, mind and soul.
The group dynamics, exercises and meditation techniques will support us to explore our body's innate capacity to feel and to expand energetically; to accept who we are in all our dimensions and to relax into our own energy.
From a state of relaxation and sensitivity, the body becomes a doorway for meditation, our awareness expands and we can move deeper into relating with ourselves with other people and with life.
"The time has come
to turn your heart into a temple of fire
Your essence is gold
hidden in dust
To reveal its splendor
You need to burn
in the fire of love"
