The gift of stillness – Don’t just do something, sit there!Apr 17 2019 - 7:20 pmIt’s so easy, when we’re madly busy, when there are lots of competing demands on our time, and we are running frantically through items on our to do list, that we lose all sense of ourselves. We pressure ourselves to Get Things Done. We experience the panic that is Don’t Just Sit There, Do Something! […]
Vignette from a Tantrika’s everyday life
/in Blog /by Annabel#itsnotallaboutsex an everyday transformative example. I’m on a transatlantic plane, doing a red-eye from Boston to London Heathrow… I’ve already spoken my intention to the universe before the flight that I will sleep well – as I know I have a huge day tomorrow and will need some sleep to do that… Thing is we […]

A conversation about boobs
/in Blog /by PaulineI was at a workshop recently, I seem to remember we’d been dancing. That free, abandoned bouncing around that happens sometimes, without thought or self-consciousness. And afterwards someone said ‘your breasts look amazing’, and I replied ‘Yes, I know, thank you.’ The compliment was just that, an appreciation of my boobs, without agenda or expectation, […]
I came to tantra from a career as a nurse, teacher and facilitator, familiar and comfortable with supporting people during major life changes, all sorts of challenges. As a practitioner I work with people who want to explore new and different ways to feel, experience and express their sexuality.

Pauline McCluskey – What tantra means to me.
/in Blog /by PaulineI’m of the generation that first heard the word tantra from the publicity around Sting and his apparently amazing tantric sex life. Not necessarily the best starting point! Around then I began reading, felt drawn in. It’s interesting looking back, it wasn’t the sex part that landed in me, it was something about confidence, about […]

Becky Price – How did I get here?
/in Blog /by BeckyBack in 2003, I was living with a partner of 10 years. Like many relationships we started well but over the years I found I was enjoying sex less and less.

Annabel Newfield – Why do I teach tantra?
/in Blog /by AnnabelThey say we teach what we most need to know… so what has tantra helped me to learn, that I now do my best to support others to learn and embody for themselves? When I walked through the door of my first tantra weekend 13 years ago I felt this powerful feeling that all of […]

Hilly Spenceley – Why I teach Tantra & what attracted me to it….
/in Blog /by HillyI first heard the word Tantra in 1971, when I had a particularly bad sexual experience (time of free love and sexual revolution etc) I wasnt’ impressed!… Secondly around the same time, I also had someone show me some Tantric paintings from Ajit Mookerjee, which where beautiful imagery of Yantra’s and symbolism… I couldn’t marry […]

SHIBARI
/in Blog /by Shakti TantraSince I am running a Shibari day in February, I thought I would write some stuff on Shibari and my take on it in the context of Tantra for those who may not know what Shibari is. Shibari (or Kinbaku) is the Japanese art of rope bondage. It originated from the Samurai who acted as […]
