HEART OF TANTRA FESTIVAL SCHEDULE

We relate to this world as human beings. We seek a depth of connection with another that allows our bodies to meet, our hearts to meet, even our erotic energy to meet. Explore your curiosity for connection with this experiential Tantric practice. In “Opening to Tantric Connection” you will be invited to drop in with others and express your authentic self in playful and intriguing ways.

This is a chance to get more familiar with the lovely humans you will be exploring with throughout the weekend.

This yoga is available for all. Bring a yoga mat and comfortable clothes to move in.

This workshop will offer an intro to consent through a blend of theory and experiential, body-based exercises. We will explore how to notice our desires and limits and communicate these to those we interact with, while also supporting a spaciousness for them to do the same – and how this is important in supporting the creation of a consensual dynamic. We will also raise awareness of factors that impact choice and voice, such as power dynamics. Participants will also be guided towards resources for further study.

Embark on a journey of self-discovery and embodied wisdom in our workshop, “Embodied Liberation.” Led by experienced facilitators, this immersive experience invites you to explore the transformative power of Tantra and Buddhism through somatic practices, partner work, and mindful inquiry. Discover how to awaken to the fullness of your being as you delve into the rich teachings of these ancient traditions. Through movement, breathwork, touch, and meditation, you will learn to access the innate wisdom of your body and cultivate a deeper sense of presence and aliveness. May our practice help alleviate all beings, including ourselves, from suffering and the causes of suffering. Om Ah Hung!

The Erotic Divine Play of Shiva and Shakti – Satyen & Suzanne

This is an experiential practice into awakening the Tantric forces and ecstasy of Shiva and Shakti within ourselves. A chance to artfully play these scales of being and moving beyond the limitations that are sometimes bumped into within this spectrum of Shiva and Shakti. Discover these different dimensions and how it affects us in life, relationships, our sexual fulfillment, our journey of awakening and our true empowerment as we find alignment within society.

This is going to be a juicy and experiential workshop with firm boundaries set so we can take a speed deep dive and learn to open up the inner portals of our Tantric capacity as we open each other to the Divine.

I welcome you to join us in exploring this vehicle of transformation, to bring ourselves to full presence and to embody our full potential, for ourselves, for each other, and for the world.

The Bliss Temple will be an open space for an hour after the Utsava Dance Night to unwind and connect. The space will be open with some chill down tempo sounds before bed. This will be a chance to join in some cuddles and connect in the ways you desire.

Qigong for Vitality. The deeper you root, the higher you can go and the easier it is to flow with life. In this practice we combine movement, breath and meditation to root in to the earth and the divine. As we release stagnant energy we create space to nourish our vitality and connect to the wisdom that lives within us.

In this exquisite Ritual we will unlock the magic within, ignite our creative sexual energy, and direct it into a shared vision of peace and love on our planet as we offer our energies for the benefit of all beings.

This Ritual is an invitation to direct and expand your life force energy and super charge your prayers. This will be a guided experience of connecting with the body and moving through various stages to vibrate the cosmic play of aliveness within. This is an invitation to engage in a conscious exploration of breath, movement, sound, and magic. This Ritual can be done with a partner or as a solo journey. Either way it is a potent energetic experience especially when shared in a collective group field. It is our deep and sincere prayer for the birthing of a heart centered humanity on the planet.

This gathering has been created as a community container to explore intimacy, relating, eros, love and consciousness. It is natural in these experiences that you need support and sometime to simply be with others to co-regulate your nervous systems.

The sharing circle gives you this chance to share with a group and create a feeling of mutual support. This is a place to drop in and feel at home. The circles are meant to be a place of nourishment and support.

In this workshop you will be taken on a journey of the senses reflective of some of the natural elements (wind, water, earth, fire & spirit). Working in groups of 4-5 participants you will explore a range of different touch styles and sensations.

Only one person will be receiving at any given moment allowing for the receiver to be deeply immersed in the medicine of each element. You will navigate this experience within the boundaries of your comfort in a consent-driven, judgment free space.

This is an evening inspired by sensuality and devotion. A chance to explore your unique expressions, your desire and pleasure. Discover different flavours of juicy connections through the heart, sensuality, energetics, the physical, curiosity and imagination. Get to know yourself and others on a deeper intimate level through a soulful experience of passion, play, eros and sensuality. Embrace the gift of your true aliveness.

This is an invitation to connect from your authentic truth and honour and respect your own and other’s truths. We will honour all needs for consent to co-create a safe enough Temple space. This space will be opened with agreements, guidance and prayerformance leading to a new world of possibility.

Everything within the temple is your choice and you participate as you feel called. Dress up in whatever way expresses your Sacred Erotic Self or simply undress. Come explore the mystery and embrace the freedom and creativity that await.

This is a chance to anchor in your experiences from the weekend so that when you leave your experience continues to grow within you and your understandings and wisdom can be woven into the tapestry of your life. It is a chance to share from the heart and bare witness to others vulnerability and views.
