Tantra is an often debated term in the western world. It has become a term for a whole host of practices that originate from many different traditions, historically and geographically. Tantra, in its classical and documented form is understood to have began during the Vedic period. The roots of Hinduism stem from the Vedic era, but Tantric practices have been documented and are historically significant in many periods of history and throughout many spiritual bodies.
A graceful and simple way of expressing the general philosophy of Tantra is that it is to experience pure love in every facet of being. It goes far beyond sex and sensuality, rather it is an infusion of sensuality and openness into every moment. Tantra invites us to leave behind expectation and need, and be fulfilled right here, right now.
We choose to approach Tantra from a holistic, respectful and culturally transparent place. What we offer is not a course in Tantra, but a demystification of the practices that inspire that often misused term Our unique approach developed over years of practice and the study of human sexuality, sexual health, healing, bodywork, yoga, BDSM, non-violent communication, and forgiveness. It is of our own devising, and is an introduction to a series of sensual, healing and erotic practices to transform your life and your relationships. You can choose to work directly with us, or one of us, over an extended period of time, or you can utilize our skills and knowledge to inspire and direct your own path of study.
