Hayli Makana, with support from Charlotte and Stacey, will facilitate Tantric Expressions through curiosity of Divine Creation for this weekend at the Haven, and you are invited. Come solo, bring a friend, maybe a partner, and let’s play!
We know what you’re wondering – Is a Tantra retreat a sex retreat? The short answer is – No, not this retreat. We’ll be experiencing the basic ideals and concepts of Tantra for the beginner to intermediate who’s curious and ready to learn more about connection with self, earth, and others. Hayli, Charlotte and Stacey describe Tantric experiences in a few ways:
– Moving or working from your heart space
– Experiencing this space between worlds as blissful, a place where time stands still
– A way of deep connection with yourself first, then the earth, and eventually with others in deep presence and reverence
– Connecting by being side-by-side, breathing together, utilizing body weight, eye gazing, eating, dancing, meditating, listening, and touch
– Becoming one -> becoming nothing -> becoming everything
– Sensual practices = practices to engage the senses in a deeply meaningful and profound way
– Experiencing your body, organs, chakras and other energy centers from a new perspective, finding clarity on what needs to be worked on and be seen to relieve pain and allow in joy at all levels – physically, emotionally, and spiritually
– Shedding limiting mainstream ideas of what it is to “make love” and learning to make love with yourself… not to achieve sexual orgasm, but to achieve ecstatic joy in the act of loving every element of yourself deeply
– Achieving magical, beautiful experiences of astral travel or the world of purple haze
– Accessing Tantric waves of love, intimacy, ecstasy, and unconditional love that breathes and moves through you
– The ability to have all these experiences authentically in each moment – on your own or with a friend or lover to deepen connection and find a sense of home, being here now, taking in and enjoying the beauty and sacred gifts of life and the divine self
