Tantra is an ancient practice for cultivating a deeper connection with the vibrant life force that runs through both, you, and all of life. When we slow down and tap into the essence of Tantra, this creates a sense of presence, aliveness, and helps us embody our natural sensuality.

In this workshop you will be offered individual, partner and group practices. You will be guided through a blend of Breathwork, Tantric Meditations, Rituals, and Taoist Tantric Practices. Leonie, the main facilitator, uses her experience as a psychologist to create a safe space in her retreats for healing and transformation. A space where you can be yourself and listen to yourself.

Come as you are: singles, couples, experienced and beginners are all welcome.

The Essence of Tantra

Tantra is a multi-faceted approach to life. It offers us many tools help us open up to the full potential of the human experience, clear out stagnant energy, calm the mind, awaken our natural life force energy and deeply connect to the essence of life. Tantra allows us to drop into our natural state of being where there is a deep sense of aliveness, grounded sensitivity, and unconditional love.

In Tantra, it is about seeing seeing sexual energy as the force of creation. Our sexual energy is our natural life force energy. It is the energy we are all born with; it begins with you, and ends with you. It is not about the other. When we slow down, and go deeper into the energetics of Tantra, we can see that life force energy is highly intelligent, tremendously powerful and creative energy that runs through everything.  Through Tantric practices we learn to cultivate sexual life force energy and let it circulate through our bodies, creating a bridge between sexuality, heart, and spirit. We can use it for anything; to make love, connect to nature, manifest our dreams and use it for healing and transformation.

In this workshop, we will explore the potential of Tantra through breathwork, meditations, movement, Taoist tantric practices, and partner exercises.

Tantric Meditation

Tantra is about weaving together presence with love.

We can cultivate presence through meditation practices.  In the immersion, you will experience both individual and group meditation practices to connect deeper to your inner essence. These practices also focus on balancing our polarities know as Yin & Yang, masculine & feminine, Shiva & Shakti. It is from balancing this polarity that we can create union and go beyond to realize that we are more than our body, mind and emotions. Through these meditations, we can help each other drop into presence and practice the art of surrender. Recognising that we can be a mirror for one other and help each other stay present through comfort and discomfort.

Ritual and Ceremony

Through ritual and ceremony we can drop fully into presence which can offer us a sense of clarity. They require us to become intently aware and attuned to the present moment. 

Ritual and ceremony can provide a powerful container for healing, transformation, and celebration. They often act as a catalyst for energetic changes and a renewed sense of being. These kind of experiences allow us to engage with the wholeness of life. They remind us that when we choose to direct our energy into the present moment, with an open heart and true intention, transformation follows.

In this workshop, Tantric rituals are used to connect with one another through Divine energy. When we do rituals as a group and set clear intentions together, we can use the supportive, expansive energy of the whole group to bring us into higher states of consciousness.

Breathwork

The three key elements in Tantra are breath, sound and movement. This is the way to open up to release energy and removing emotional blockages. 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 techniques that focus on healing and releasing, regulating the nervous system, and activating the chakra system. One of the techniques we will use is the Conscious Connected Breath.  You will be guided to 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, and patterns of the past, to restore your natural sense of wholeness and aliveness.

We will create a safe heart-centered container with the intention to explore Tantra. We are all different and in the workshop, we invite you to embrace what makes you. There is no need to do anything that does not work for you.

There is also no sexual union in this immersion. Because we work with polarities, we will balance the number of men and women in this course. It is also possible to work with the same sex.

• An understanding of the basic principles of Tantra and tools to practice at home.
• An exploration of the potential of your life force energy which awakens a sense of aliveness, grounded-ness, and excitement for life.
• More awareness about the relationship between healthy masculine and feminine energies inside of yourself and in relation to others.
• Enhancing the possibility to live life with an open heart and a curious mind.
• Tools to clarify and express needs, desires and healthy boundaries.

In the Workshop, you will be guided by Leonie and 2 assistants will be present to maintain the safe and supportive environment. There will also be a Sharing Circles in which Leonie provides gentle, grounded and sensitive guidance. Using her clinical Psychology experience she offers ways to make sense of personal experiences and how we can integrate them into your daily life.

After the workshop, there are opportunities to stay connected and supported through future events and the Living Tantra from the Heart Facebook group.
