Tantric Yoga Intensive 2024
*Imagine how life improves and evolves when you dive into learning how to use energy for the benefit of the collective and have a purpose around LOVE.
Many of us are perceived to have it all – beauty, money, friends and family, or many feel they do not have any of this. We tend to shy away from talking about what likely takes up more space in the mind than all of these things, this being the satisfaction levels in our personal relationships.
*The Tantric Yoga Intensive Retreat is a deep look at the scope of tantra will experientially deepen your awareness of the divine elements of both yoga and tantra. The combination of these two disciplines, influenced by Osho’s work and also Taoism will change your perspective, shake up what is happening in your life, and bring you to a new place in relating via heightened consciousness especially in your personal life, and why. Its deep stuff, maybe even past life or karmic.

Imagine a week where grand life lessons happen every day. Feel supported by nature and rest fully in who you truly are. Boundaries honored. There is never pressure to do anything you do not wish to do, but please know this is intensive self-work.
*Each day is designated to a theme or a certain chakra and its exploration, what it does to regulate the body as well as how life works within a fully-functional and alive system. You will leave with your intentions clarified or fulfilled and satisfied. Massage techniques and also yoga asana that activate each chakra are also included in this one-of-a-kind retreat which has changed many lives. Do not plan anything else this week, it is best to turn off your phone in order to be present with what is happening for you and for the group. It is intensive, days and nights are nicely timed so you have enough “you” time, a long break after lunch to rest and to integrate.
*Each teaching and exercise has deeper meaning and purpose for you to become aware of through diving into it with totality. It is for you, and a group supports you as you support the group. Groupwork reveals, as does totality with this group.
*It is much more than a yoga retreat. While we do tantric yoga once a day, we are also learning some of the background that is helpful to learn tantric practices and be able to bring them into your life for greater social, touch, sexual, love, communal fulfillment.
*Emotional release, soul expansion, pattern re-working. We also learn techniques of lingham and yoni massage, so you can have skills and heal with your hands when you are in profound intimate situations. Singles and couples are welcome on this retreat. If you are singe you will change partners for the exercises. If you are in a couple, you can decide to do this or keep your partner for all exercises.
Purification of you, your karma, your sexual relations and the relationships you have with your family. The practices are enhanced by sublimation. Many also learn how the expression of a "no" or how to communicate options that feel right can bring so much more depth to "yes" unions.
Be free to be exactly who we are - real people aspiring for truth.
The Alentejo in the south of Portugal is a mecca of spiritual work, yoga of all kinds as well as meditational study and holds space for visitors from all over the world. Break free finally from the societal confines of which you slowly become aware.
*The shala and the ocean will serve to hold us in practice, teaching, processing and pleasure development of a refined nature. If you are on a path, the door is open for you to enter and see what there is for you to learn or experience.
