Tantra is about weaving together diverse polarities –  love and presence, masculine and the feminine, movement and stillness – making meditation a crucial component of the tantric path. Like Yin and Yang, or the river and the riverbank, these opposing elements support, guide, and play with, each other in the journey of spiritual growth.

Through Meditation we learn to embody our lessons and experiences, and transform them into inner wisdom. It can also help us to connect to our divine essence and the true nature of reality.

In this immersion you will experience both individual and group meditations through which we can help each other drop into presence and practice the art of surrender by being mirrors for one another. 

Through ritual and ceremony we deepen our spiritual insights and our connection to ourselves. Rituals and ceremonies can help us to break old patterns and cycles and to clear out unwanted energy. They can also help us to create clarity, focus, and intentionality – which can release us from stagnant repetitive cycles.

Our energetic bodies have the tendency to collect excess information and emotions, and rituals are a beautiful way to reset. They can help you to release what doesn’t serve you anymore and create clarity on what you want to bring into your life. By healing – processing and releasing the emotions of the past, we can safely return back to our natural, sensitive state of being.

When we do rituals as a group and set clear intentions together, we can use the supportive, expansive energy of the whole group to amplify our experience and bring us into higher states of consciousness. Through this we can release stuck emotions and energy, and manifest the things we deeply desire.

In our society touch is often related to sexuality. Through this immersion we will expand upon the idea of touch and explore the powerful concept of Sacred Touch. Sacred Touch is that which comes from a place of pure divine intention and presence – the touch itself becomes a sacred offering unto the other. When done with a clear agreement and set boundaries, Sacred Touch can be deeply healing.

There are many different ways that touch can be healing and transformative, and many different qualities that the touch can embody. It can be physical or energetic (non-physical), sexual or non-sexual, loving and caring, or fiery and sensual. We can also use touch with different elements to connect with our innate sensitivity.

The foundations of Sacred Touch are feelings of safety and security. Feeling safe allows us to relax and open – which then allows us to receive, to transform our beliefs, and to connect to Divine energy. In its highest form, Sacred Touch is about remembering that we are Divine Beings, that our body is our temple, and all of what we are – is sacred.

In Sacred Touch we also practice tuning into ourselves without needing to conform to anyone’s expectations. It is very important to be clear on our boundaries and what feels good for us in the moment. By doing so we can awaken and balance our chakras, bring in sensual presence, and connect to our most natural essence.

Breathwork is a very powerful tool used to activate our inner medicine and move stagnant energy within the body. In this immersion we will practice various types of breathwork that focus on healing and releasing, regulating the nervous system, and activating the chakra system. Utilizing Conscious Connected Breath you will be guided on a journey of uncovering deeper layers of the physical, emotional, and energetic body to unlock your potential and restore the natural flow of life force energy.

When you learn to connect the breath in a natural rhythm there is a shift in consciousness. You start to go beyond the rational mind and are able to access isolated parts of yourself in need of healing and care. This gives you the opportunity to gently release the accumulated baggage of tension, emotions, resistance, patterns of the past, and ultimately to restore your natural sense of wholeness and aliveness.

Feeling safe is the foundation of transformation. Expressing our boundaries, fears, and desires in a safe container gives us the opportunity to explore the power of authentic expression. Conscious relating is about letting go of judgments and allowing yourself to express what is alive within you – with openness and acceptance. Building a harmonious relationship between your inner and outer world helps you to feel integrated and comfortable in your own being and with others. In this intensive immersion you will explore how to soften the voice of self-criticism, and give more clarity and fluidity to your own authentic expression.

As humans we are made up of body and spirit – and within each of us is a powerful primordial life force energy that is often misunderstood. Because of the labels of the mind, society, or negative experiences of the past, we often try to tame and push away this part of ourselves. In this immersion we allow these feelings to come to the light and remember that this is a very beautiful, sensitive, and powerful source of energy.

Through this immersion we learn to awaken our natural life force energy, allowing it to expand and flow through every facet our being. When we learn to express our healthy primordial power it opens our potential to reconnect with a healthy flow of life, to move beyond stagnant energy, and to access and embody our inner source of vitality. By awakening and cultivating our life force energy we are able to embody the spiritual teachings of Tantra – of being alive, loving, vital, and present.

In this immersion, we will do exercises designed to bring us back to our sensitive and vital state of being. By linking our primordial life force energy with our adult consciousness we become sources of power and transformation within the world. This connection allows us to go beyond labels, to drop our resistance, and to fully embrace and ride the waves of life.
