WHAT IS TANTRA?

Tantra is a living tradition that offers some of the most effective teachings and technologies for human transformation. Tantra is a way of being in the world, it is about saying Yes to life. The keys on this fascinating path are authenticity and love. We will also find Yoga, Meditation and Ritual to be a strong foundation at the base of these practices.

Traditionally only a small part of the Tantric path is directly using sexual energies but indeed during this festival there will be an emphasis on the sexual aspects of Tantra. Through Tantra we can learn the mastery of the energies and move along the journey toward the ultimate purpose of Enlightenment.

Our sexual energies are a tremendous force and often we are not using these energies for our greatest benefit. Actually we may notice that sexual energies are frequently misused and thus create challenging experiences of shame, guilt, traumas etc. Tantra encourages us to put our sexual energies into an intentional practice that help us to shift our previous patterns and awaken as the love that we truly are. In these days and times that we are currently living sexuality seems to be such an obstacle for so many people yet here is an opportunity to shift into a new way of Being. Tantra is a path of recognizing the Sacredness within our selves and within every moment. It is truly a life changing experience.

Tantra is a way to learn to relate consciously with others, to express yourself, to experience true intimacy with yourself and others, to recognize the Divinity within yourself and others, to experience high states of bliss and to love tenderly, madly and deeply.

Tantra is an extremely vast practice having an emphasis on direct experience of the Divine Reality. This is very much about your own unique experience. We welcome you to join the festival and form your own ideas and feelings about Tantra.

You will find the teachings and practices are both accessible and powerful to either begin or continue on your Tantric Path.
