Tantric Immersion

Tantric immersion events are courses, workshops and retreat experiences that take Foundation and Conscious Touch practices to realms that are: a little more personal, a little more vulnerable, a little more intimate.

If you were an old map, your Tantra would lie at its (a)frayed edges, where it is inscribed: hic sunt dracones. Tantric practice is intended to pierce illusion and expose Truth*.

The implication of your Tantra is that it’s personal to you: your edges of (dis)comfort, your unconscious brought to light, your creative life-force energy, untethered and channelled in service to your highest Self.

The question I hold, underlying everything I offer, is: How can I support you, holding your well-being and highest interests at heart, with compassion, and the deepest respect?

While your biography, circumstances, needs and desires will inform their your Tantric exploration, here are some core aspects:

  1. Embodied sexual, or life-force energy—including self-love, pleasure and play
  2. Archetypal qualities or principles of masculine and feminine (not gender)
  3. Erotic shadow-work, aspects of self, and inner-child
  4. Symbolism, ritual and non-ordinary states of consciousness
  5. Life and death

* Not “the truth”—your Truth: your authentic expression, power, beauty, magnificence, wonder, potency, …

Why?

While you’ll have your own reasons, possible layers of exploration are:

  • Self-reclamation—connect with, heal and integrate parts of yourself that have been suppressed, judged, abused and/or forgotten.
  • Self-expression—expand and grow in ways that support, encourage and celebrate your fullness and vibrancy, and the potential of your highest, most authentic self.
  • Connection and belonging—develop your capacity for vulnerable and intimate connections, for support, growth, co-creation and shared-experiences, that are aligned with your needs and desires.

Rather than join a workshop on ‘healing the sacred feminine’, I chose to participate in absentia, taking myself for a walk in nature. I believed I was heading up a lovely river path, one I had explored the day prior in search of a rumored waterfall. Yet in one spontaneous moment I veered left, gently Coming down

It’s the first New Year of a fresh, now living-together, intimate relationship. I’m away on a residential retreat, completing a year-long transformation process with a group of souls – one of whom had been my long-term partner when this process began. She was extremely angry and wanted nothing to do with me – quite understandable given Meeting Your Lover’s Lover

I took myself on an immersive journey into nature – it had been a long time coming, and after a good rainfall the waterfalls would be pumping. There’s a special quality present after rain: different scents welcomed me with an entourage of delicate sensations reaching out from the surrounding air and damp sounds.

Many years ago I’m squirming in the iconic Labia Theatre while taking in the controversial art film, 9 Songs. Physically I’m dead-still, as is ‘appropriate’ for a theatre, but that nonchalant exterior was feeling painfully incongruent with the loving making being witnessed on the screen. I was awkwardly aware of the audience in the theatre The Reality of Watching Films

I keep coming back to this: slow the fuck down. It has its origin one cheerful evening in a Camps Bay restaurant, dinning with a small group of travellers I’d not met before. As happens in the customary sniff-down of these new meetings I was asked what I do.
