Awakening to Sacred Union: Level 1 Presence Programme

May 19 2023 @ 6:00 pm - May 21 2023 @ 2:00 pm

We invite you to join us for a weekend of personal transformation, learning about the philosophy of Tantra, and participating in profound practices and experiences to bring this learning into the body. Beginning to understand the chains that bind us, the restrictions that we and others have placed upon us. Learning to walk from our hearts in joy, freedom and love.

Feedback from previous workshops:

“These people know what they are doing! They create safe and beautiful spaces in which you can grow, stretch and play.”
“It will change your life and your attitude to yourself.”
“I confronted fears and saw deeper into myself and my relationship. Well worth it and fun too.”
“That wasn’t a workshop — that was a pleasure-shop!! I’ll be doing some more, for sure! Thanks very much”
“Fingertips touching, hips rocking, eyes touching my heart”

This workshop is an introduction to Tantra – either as a standalone event, or as the entry point to joining our mixed programme. A delightful weekend for men and women (singles and couples), skilfully and lovingly taught.

The Gift Economy

We are excited to be offering this workshop as an experiment with the Gift Economy. It’s a first for us! This is what we mean and how it works.

We live in a society with much injustice. Many people do great work that contributes to the good of all yet receive widely differing financial recompense for this. Further, our society has become increasingly focused on money, where our interactions are mostly mediated by this system.

We’d like to loosen these ties, and connect more to the idea of money as energy, in flow. Some of us have more and some less… let’s give accordingly in the spirit of the Gift Economy. Charles Eisenstein has written much about this.

Our tantric approach to life often asks us to notice deep inside what actually feels right for us, what we actually truly desire.

We want to make our courses accessible to as many people as possible – As teachers we would like to be paid for the work we give, and whatever comes in with this experiment that wouldn’t in any way reduce the level of support we offer in our workshops. Normally a 2 day workshop would cost £395 for tuition and £280 for food and accommodation.

In this experimental approach we ask for you to pay £280 covering your food and accommodation in advance to secure your place.

Either before or after the workshop we invite you to feel into what you would like to contribute towards tuition. Feel what you can truly afford, what the workshop is worth to you especially noticing the transformative effects of the workshop, and how you feel about the time and effort put in by those making the workshop possible.

We will add that we already have a bursary fund where people contribute to make it possible for those with less money to attend our courses. If this experiment proves to bring in more money then we would have brought in via the usual tuition fees method we will give that extra to the bursary fund.
