Tantra is an ancient spiritual practice with the same Indian roots as yoga. It is an accessible and direct method for spiritual progress which helps us come into direct contact with the divine.

Unlike traditional yoga, Tantra includes and recognizes sexuality as a powerful energetic tool which does not need to be avoided or treated as “dirty” in order to have a spiritual life. Some of our most sacred moments can occur in the sexual realm, and this is to be welcomed and celebrated, rather than shunned. While there is much more to Tantra than sex, it is a vital and important component of the practice which deserves to be discussed.

In this informational workshop, we will discuss the basics of Tantra, as well as practical concepts and methods to begin incorporating it into our spiritual life. We will learn about Shiva and Shakti (the Divine Masculine and Feminine) and how they interact within ourselves and between partners, the Curve of Pleasure, Brahmacharya, retention techniques for men, the importance of sublimation of sexual energy, and more.

This session is discussion only, and does not contain any nudity or sexual practices. It does include explicit discussion of sexuality. It is open and beneficial to all genders and orientations.
