I've been invited to join a twelve month process, orbiting a retreat at the end on this year, designed to bring into clarity my living a daily life that is true to my core being. This is exciting and well timed as I pause over winter, during a time of personal transition, and listen. Being one year in duration, it promises fantastic opportunity to focus my intention and awareness, and develop relationships of trust with all involved.

There are different aspects to masculinity. This work is focused on the narrow slice about how we relate to and express our masculine in sexuality. It's an important slice, if not the crucial basis from which all other relating is infused. Osho is quoted as saying, "Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.". If we are to rise to an authentic, honouring and empowered expression of the masculine it would be good to nurture and feed the roots of this possibility.

The Tantra Foundation courses, designed by Shakti, provide an opportunity to practice the fundamental principles of Tantra systematically over time with a group of people. This will considerably deepen your learning and the integration of Tantra practice in your life.

The three courses are based on the seven main objectives of Tantra practice and follow a logical progression. The first starts with processing and enactment of what is in the unconscious (Course I) and then continues to the integration of masculine and feminine within us (Course II). Only when this work is done, are students ready to approach the sexual meditation of Tantra (Course III).

Stephen is available for sessions to those on a path of self-awareness and seeking the support offered by a Tantrika.

Listening to Niall Campbell and Nicola Robins in Rain Only Falls into Beauty reminded me of an adolescent awareness I'd forgotten. The energy of chaos held an excitement, an anticipation of something to come. When things appeared stable and orderly, going well, I sensed a possible complacency, of becoming unaware.
