TAO & TANTRA: Freedom and love
with Atithi & Kalpita
Freedom and love are like two wings of a great bird; a bird that cannot live unless it is able to fly. Have you ever considered how they are related? Are you ready to unravel the mystery?
We are excited and honored to offer this 6-day journey on one of the most essential themes; one which moves us on so many levels and holds a key towards our integration of love, sex, intimacy & freedom.
Unlike other paradigmatic forces- yin & yang, masculine & feminine, light & dark, good & evil- freedom & love don’t strike us as strictly oppositional, except for one aspect of our human reality- intimate relationships.
This workshop is designed with one main purpose- to get to the heart of the struggle between the search for deep, loving intimacy and the longing for the lasting feeling of freedom within that intimacy. Owing to the gravity of this central question, we have to start where we are, with a simple inquiry: Am I more identified with the freedom or love? Or perhaps equally as important, am I more resistant to freedom or love?
“Love has to be of the quality that gives freedom, not new chains for you; a love that gives you wings and supports you to fly as high as possible.” ~Osho
“Unless meditation is achieved, love remains a misery. Once you have learned how to live alone, once you have learned how to enjoy your simple existence, for no reason at all, then there is a possibility of solving the second, more complicated problem of two persons being together. Only two meditators can live in love- and then love will not be a koan.” ~Osho
Please note: this is not a workshop for beginners. As we want to go to the heart of the issues that divide us from each other and from ourselves we are looking for participants who have a sincere desire to go deep. This workshop will be the most exciting and complete experience we have ever created!
We will:
Use the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital, healing space where relating creates transformation
Use rite, prayer and meditation to create rituals of ecstasy, beauty and truth
Learn how love and freedom are at the foundation of our most deeply held beliefs about relationship
Experience how responsibility is a door to freedom and freedom is a gateway to connection
Use inquiry, one-to-one relating and ritual to resolve repetitive mistakes in relating
Use sensuality, touch, massage, music and our unique environment to evoke primal passions
Use meditation to penetrate those primal mysteries and compassion to resolve old belief patterns
Learn to use depth of feeling as a tool to discover and liberate deep longing for connection
Experience the necessity of aloneness in relationship
Learn to tap universal reserves of energy to create a life that is a work of art
If you have worked with us before you will recognise the container we create together to provide a safe foundation for joy, openness and transformation, in which we learn:
Why sexuality is sacred
Simple exercises for health, vitality and relaxation
About men’s and women’s orgasms
