You are welcome on your own or with a partner, and persons of all sexual orientations are invited.The Tantric Love Retreat is an opportunity for you to become acquainted with, and drink deeply from, the well of experience that is Tantra. The quote above from the great Tantric master Osho captures the essence of the Tantric Love Retreat. First we awaken the raw fire of our vital life force or sexual energy. Then we guide this energy up the body, where it touches the heart and becomes a force of love. From there, this energy, which we call Kundalini, rises up further through your being until its fragrance fills you with the knowing that you are one with all that is.

The retreat is structured to accommodate both newcomers and those of you who have already started your exploration of Tantra. If you have a deep commitment to awakening, and if you are willing for profound transformation of your reality and your sense of yourself, then this retreat is for you. You are welcome on your own or with a partner, and persons of all sexual orientations are invited.

The theme of this retreat points to two essential elements of Tantric practice:

• Awakening the fire of your sexual energy or vital life force and
• Refining the quality of your sexual energy into the nectar of divine love.

The objectives of the retreat are:

• To awaken and release the flow of your sexual energy into the flame of presence
• To free up your capacity for feeling, experience and sensation
• To deepen your capacity for love
• To assist you in integrating dualities that keep your energy and your sense of yourself in limited expression
• To introduce you to methods and techniques that connect sexual and heart energy
• To refine your sensitivity and awareness of energy and the presence of the other
• To increase your ability to direct sexual energy as a force of awakening
• To welcome the inner lovemaking that happens when we open up to the unique expressions of feminine and masculine energies in ourselves and in each other

The challenge of Tantra is: How much bliss can you stand? This retreat is an opportunity for you to explore further - how much are you willing to let yourself feel? Are you willing to feel your raw instinctual power? Are you willing to feel all your emotions and sensations without judgment and suppression? Are you willing to increase your capacity to stand the bliss of subtlety? Are you ready to start feeling the blue flames of tantric presence ripple over your skin? Are you ready to let every breath become an act of love?

For this we will use a combination of Tantric methods:

• active meditations
• dance and movement
• breath work
• sound work
• tantric meditations
• sensory exploration
• touch sensitivity training
