We attach the word ‘sacred’ to any practice, experience, or way-of-being that slows us down and deepens our experience of being alive. Our sensuality is a manifestation and expression-of our vital sxxual life-force and creative energy. It can play, move, and be shared and enjoyed in many ways.
Come with your desire to unmask the secrets of your heart.
Come ready to release those energies that hold you back from manifesting love.
Come explore ways to experience more joyfully in your life.
We begin the night with an authentic Tantric Puja. This ceremony is the greatest way I know how to help people begin falling in love with themselves.
Do you want a taste of Classical Tantra with elements from India?
This ceremony opens people’s hearts in a way that allows them to see the inner beauty and the Divine within us all. The participants in the giving role will be instructed in performing an ancient ritual, which is simple in form yet very powerful in practice. As the participants in the receiving role accept the offerings and adoration, they in turn connect with unconditional love and reflect that adoration back to the givers with their presence. Taking part in these rituals is a very powerful way to reconnect and relate with all aspects of ourselves. It is through the practice of unconditional loving that we find that any emptiness or longing we feel within us can be filled with a simple act of giving.
This ancient ritual is thousands of years old. It was brought to life by those who implemented the practice of breathing life and awareness through the five elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether) in offering to the divine within every living being. We will offer fire, incense, roses, water, chocolate and more in adoration and worship of our divine essence.
We welcome you to reclaim your space and powerful place in the world as we unveil your deepest core. You will leave enchanted having fallen more deeply in love with YOU.
With open hearts and deep connection you will be “rebirthed” from a place of complete vulnerability and fullness as you choose to wake up to YOU!
Next up is Latihan (a movement meditation for moving in the unknown)
First, let’s talk a little bit about how NOT moving in the unknown is one of the most costly, invisible limitations that sabotage our lives.
Learning to move in the unknown is the OPPOSITE of being controlling. It’s the opposite of needing to be “Right”. Practising moving in the unknown is the medicine for holding your body in knots and tension in your abdomen, anxiety in your chest, and clenching in your root.
Have you ever experienced any of those things?
Latihan is the practice of surrender in the most pleasurable way. It can be a daily, weekly or monthly practice by your divine self or with a partner.
The two of us will provide a safe place where everyone will get to see each other with newborn eyes.
Only then will you begin to connect with wonder, curiosity, and utter awareness, celebrating the divine presence within us all.
Delightful fun exploring deep within ourselves and our reflections.
And finally, we will get into groups of 5 and experience the sensation of an multihanded massage (You decide as the receiver, how clothed or unclothed you wish to be)
Have you ever been massaged by more than one person? Something very interesting happens when you are being touched by more than two hands: our brains lose track of where we are being touched. My personal experience is that multiple hand massage can be deeply relaxing, all the way up to mindblowing!
Note: if you prefer to do the massage portion with just one partner, that’s absolutely okay!
Bring a large towel and your favorite massage oil for this experience!
We invite you to let go, to fall in love with each person you meet on the night’s journey and eventually be dropped in so deeply in awareness and appreciation of YOU, that you leave having fallen deeply and madly in love with yourself.
This is an event given by Monique Darling, and Peter Petersen, all internationally acclaimed and experienced teachers. Note: this is a sensual/not sxxual event with optional full nudity, all boundaries honored.
