SUMMARY:Mystery - Foundations of Tantra for women (online course)
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n\nMy friends\, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once\, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach……One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. \nClarrisa Pinkola Estes \n  \nCOURSE DETAILS\nThis online course is over 8 weeks. \nIt includes 5 evening workshops\, 2 day workshops\, weekly home practice to do between each time we meet and an online group for you to share and connect with the other women. Strong bonds are made during this course. \nCOURSE DATES\n\nWeek 1: Wednesday 19th April 2023 – 6.30-9.30pm\nWeek 2: Wednesday 26th April  – 6.30-9.30pm\nWeek 3: Sunday 7th May – 2-4 & 6.30-9.30pm\nWeek 4: Wednesday 17th May – 6.30-9.30pm\nWeek 5: Wednesday 24th May – 6.30-9.30pm\nWeek 6: Sunday 4th June – 2-4 & 6.30-9.30pm\nWeek 7: Integration week\nWeek 8: Wednesday 14th June – 6.30-9.30pm\n\nThis online training is an introduction to our Women’s Mystery School in the comfort of your own home.  Laying foundations for the most extraordinary journey into your power\, possibilities\, pleasure and presence as a woman. \nThis course will support you in accessing your deepest feminine wisdom and creativity. \nTo bring together your heart\, sex and spirit. \nTo gain an ability to listen to your inner knowing. \nTo create rich connection within women’s circle. \nTo receive new perspectives on how you choose to live your life. \nWe will support you to create your own sacred  space to explore intimacy\, kindness\, sexuality\, communication and tantric ritual. \nShakti Tantra are transformational artists using the medium of tantra to raise our consciousness and as a catalyst for great change and personal growth.  Our work draws from ancient and contemporary wisdom and practices. \nWe feel truly honoured and privileged to be able to offer this work and our intent is to support you to acquire tools\, ideas and understandings that will make a positive difference to your everyday lives especially at this time. \nCourse Details\nThis online course is over 2 months \nIt includes 5 evening workshops\, 2 day workshops\, weekly home practice to do between each time we meet and an online group for you to share and connect with the other women. \nStrong precious bonds are made during this course. \nCOURSE DATES\n\nThe two month programme costs £550. Talk to us about payment plan options if you might need to spread the cost.\n\nGroups are small (13 max) so there’s plenty of time for sharing… sessions are not recorded\, but if you have to miss an evening we’ll share key teachings with you so that you don’t miss out. \nDuring each class we will introduce new topics and share profound practices.  As we guide you through tantric structures you have your camera off so are very much in your own safe space.  There is time for sharing and asking questions with cameras back on.   During the day long workshops we have the opportunity to drop deeper into tantric ritual to create more healing and transformation. \nThis course is held over zoom. \nWhat previous participants said …\n\n\n\n“Participating in the online women’s ‘Mystery’ programme has been so much more than expected. I have been able to dive deeper to build the foundations for self appreciation (something I’ve been trying to work on for years!) to get to the wonderful position of actually loving what I see in the mirror. I feel that the exercises we have shared have really taught me to enjoy my own body much more\, meaning that I can go out into the world knowing myself\, my needs and how I can get these met. I realise that I still have a way to go on this journey\, but am so grateful to Shakti Tantra for giving me the tools to make progress. I guess what I’m saying\, is that I cannot recommend the online course highly enough; if you can make the space for the weekly sessions in your life\, you absolutely will not regret it!”\n\n\n“I’ve changed my whole relationship with my body!”\n\n\n“The course gave me the structure and space to explore my body and sexuality in new ways. The teachers held a beautiful safe\, warm\, intimate and supportive space. I especially valued the time for sharing and listening. I loved that the pace of the course allowed time to assimilate and for home practice\, and that we covered so many ideas and practices that can be incorporated into life. Thank you so much ❤“\n\n\n“Just wanted to say that some seismic shifts have happened and I am so very grateful to have done this course and its benefits are going way beyond those moments we shared online together. I looked forward to our weekly connecting and am pleased to say I have been reconnecting so much more with my body and the idea of pleasure. Also to give loving thanks to the teachers for their skilful and generous facilitation. It must be such a challenge to adapt such tactile practices to an online space with what began as a group of strangers. I’m so impressed with how it has been run\, what I got out of it and the energy levels that were achieved in the sessions. I thought it would be a good thing to do during lockdown and it proved to be far beyond good. Much love to all xxx”\n\n\n“The course helped me reconnect with my body and spirit. The facilitators held the space beautifully and worked so intuitively with the needs of each of us in the group. As a mother with young children this course has brought me back to myself in ways I’ve not felt in years.”\n\n\nThank you so much!! For your loving dedication\, for your gentle and ever so supportive and relaxed presence\, for being spontaneous\, for your humour\, authenticity\, softness\, playfulness\, and all your knowledge. I really liked your guidance and I’m so pleased I came across Shakti Tantra!  I’ll definitely join another programme as soon as it will resonate with my schedule and will continue to spread the word about your work among women & men around me.  Your work is so important.  Thank you from my heart (and Yoni!).\n\nCurious but not sure\, why not join one of our online women’s intro evenings… look on our events page for upcoming intro dates. \n\nBefore signing up to this workshop we ask that you agree to abide by our ethos (includes our T&Cs).  You will be asked to tick a box stating your agreement before completing payment and we highly recommend that you read them before starting the payment process. \nIf you have any questions or simply want to speak to one of our team just drop us a message \n  \nBeckyBecky brings this rich experience and wisdom into her teaching. With a compassionate open heart she helps people find their spontaneity\, playfulness and joy. \nMore about Becky »

SUMMARY:Awakening to Sacred Union: Level 1 Presence Programme
DESCRIPTION: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. \nFeedback from previous workshops: \n“These people know what they are doing! They create safe and beautiful spaces in which you can grow\, stretch and play.”\n“It will change your life and your attitude to yourself.”\n“I confronted fears and saw deeper into myself and my relationship. Well worth it and fun too.”\n“That wasn’t a workshop — that was a pleasure-shop!! I’ll be doing some more\, for sure! Thanks very much”\n“Fingertips touching\, hips rocking\, eyes touching my heart” \nThis 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. \nThe Gift Economy\nWe 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. \nWe 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. \nWe’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. \nOur tantric approach to life often asks us to notice deep inside what actually feels right for us\, what we actually truly desire. \nWe 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. \nIn this experimental approach we ask for you to pay £280 covering your food and accommodation in advance to secure your place. \nEither 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. \nWe 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. \nPractical information\n\nThis course starts on a Friday evening with dinner at 7pm and finishes on a Sunday at 2pm (lunch is available after the course ends and you have the option of staying for lunch\, or taking on the road with you).\nAmazing food is provided by our in house chef and with an endless supply of teas & coffee\nOur venue is Bishopswood House\, set above the Wye valley\, in its extensive grounds and surrounded by woodland\, manages to be both grand and nurturing.

SUMMARY:Awakening to Sacred Union: Level 1 Mixed Programme
DESCRIPTION:This retreat is now fully booked.  Join the mailing list to be the first to hear about our next dates\nWe 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. \nFeedback from previous workshops: \n“These people know what they are doing! They create safe and beautiful spaces in which you can grow\, stretch and play.”\n“It will change your life and your attitude to yourself.”\n“I confronted fears and saw deeper into myself and my relationship. Well worth it and fun too.”\n“That wasn’t a workshop — that was a pleasure-shop!! I’ll be doing some more\, for sure! Thanks very much”\n“Fingertips touching\, hips rocking\, eyes touching my heart” \nThis 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. \nThe Gift Economy\nWe 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. \nWe 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. \nWe’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. \nOur tantric approach to life often asks us to notice deep inside what actually feels right for us\, what we actually truly desire. \nWe 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. \nIn this experimental approach we ask for you to pay £280 covering your food and accommodation in advance to secure your place. \nEither 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. \nWe 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. \nPractical information\n\nThis course starts on a Friday evening with dinner at 7pm and finishes on a Sunday at 2pm (lunch is available after the course ends and you have the option of staying for lunch\, or taking on the road with you).\nAmazing food is provided by our in house chef and with an endless supply of teas & coffee\nOur venue is Unstone Grange\, near Chesterfield\, its beautiful gardens and homely welcome allow for a nurturing space to hold our work.\nBefore signing up to this workshop we ask that you agree to abide by our ethos (includes our T&Cs).\n\nBooking\nPlease email to check there are spaces available. \nIf you have any questions or simply want to speak to one of our team just drop us a message \nBeckyBecky brings this rich experience and wisdom into her teaching.

SUMMARY:The Naked Fool 2.0
DESCRIPTION:David and Kate are taking you with them on this new adventure – the naked fool 2.0 – the courage to step into the unknown with every step. \nIf you want to liberate your authentic-self and say a wholehearted ‘yes’ to life you must first be prepared to fail. Join us as we learn to fail with style (again) using a mix of fooling and tantric techniques. Over these few days\, we will set aside our inner tyrant and with pleasure curiosity\, fun and imagination welcome our spontaneous and playful selves. \nAbout the teachers.\nKate – ‘The fool teaches us not to take ourselves too seriously. When I step into fool energy I can approach life with an innocence and openness that allows life to flow naturally. I get out of my own way and having dropped my defences I am able to respond to life with a wholeheart. Magical things happen. To me Tantra and fooling are both about embracing and trusting this moment and our ability to respond to it. I studied at the Hub Mime and Movement Theatre School that was founded by members of Footsbarn Theatre Company (who then birthed Kneehigh Theatre Company) and have trained under several fools all in the Jacques Lecoq tradition\, including most recently with Simon Edwards and Marian Masoliver. Alongside this I have twenty years of exploring a tantric approach to life including 10 years of training with shakti tantra. \nDavid – I am naturally shy and in the past avoided being the centre of attention at all costs. The idea of a course in the art of comedy where everyone would be watching me get it wrong terrified me. It turns out\, learning to be a Fool is to learn to understand and accept that failure is not something to fear. I recently completed the Art of Comedy course with Simon Edwards and Marian Masoliver and although I found it challenging it helped me understand that when you let go of the fear of “getting it wrong” and embrace the willingness to fall flat on your face\, you discover that failure doesn’t have to be an ignominious ending\, it can be the sudden\, unexpected doorway to a new\, spontaneous opportunity if you choose to see it that way. Realising this and embracing the Fool’s energy has carried me through situations where I would previously have been paralysed with fear. Studying tantra has also taught me to step more lightly and easily through life: when an energy no longer serves me\, I breathe\, let go and step into a new one. The combination of tantra and clowning has allowed me to get past my shyness and embrace my authentic self as I am\, and to accept that my so-called flaws are not a problem unless I choose to see them as that. They are what makes me an interesting and attractive Fool. \nWhat previous participants said …\n“The Naked Fool workshop was wonderful! Fun and playful but with deep learnings and insights. I had no idea what to expect but trusted the teachers and I am so glad I took the leap to attend. \nEveryone is in the same boat at the beginning\, you have no idea what to expect\, but as soon as you arrive you are so welcome into a friendly open atmosphere and over the weekend you learn to let go of some of your ‘masks’ and learn about being neutral\, or just being. From a neutral place of just being our playful free cheeky soul can come out to play! And you get to ‘play’ with lots of other beautiful souls. Highly recommend this for a fun exploration of your Self.” \n“Ode to see ourselves as others see us. And ne’re to care. To look inside at our hidden spirit – and let it out! To be ourselves. Our foolish selves that we hold in careful reserve lest we be judged. And then to revel in that loving laughing crazy energy. By just being … ourselves.” \n“The Naked Fool workshop was fun\, and playful\, but also insightful and deep work on the psyche. I loved learning about the aspects of the Fool archetype and how it relates to me being more in my Truth and how I am in my life and the Tantra connection. Loved it!” \nPractical information\n\nThis course starts on a Friday evening with dinner at 7pm and finishes on a Sunday at 2pm (lunch is available after the course ends and you have the option of staying for lunch or taking it on the road with you.)\nThe ticket price for this event covers your tuition and support from our highly experienced team of teachers and assistants.  Please note you will also need to pay £280 for food and accommodation. Once we receive your booking we will send details of how to pay this. It will need to be paid at least 14 days before the workshop starts.\nOur venue is the beautiful EarthSpirit Centre\, near Glastonbury and lies within the ‘temenos’ (sacred enclosure) of Avalon.\nBefore signing up to this workshop we ask that you agree to abide by our ethos (includes our T&Cs).

SUMMARY:Celebration: Level 2 Women’s Programme
DESCRIPTION:This retreat is level 2  of The Women’s Programme. It’s open to all women who have completed level 1: Invitation.  We also have some spaces available for women who wish to repeat. \nThis 3-day residential retreat builds on the healing work of the Invitation retreat & really gives women permission to experience their erotic selves\, celebrate their sexuality & start to explore their pleasure. \nWe work to identify sexual imprints & release tensions\, which allows us to increase physical energy & to move into our orgasmic flow. \nHere is a poem written by Rowena Roberts following her attendance at Celebration \nBirthright\nWe’re only human\, you know.\nBeneath all the culture and bluster and blather and bother\,\nthe hurry\, flurry\, slurry of the maddened mind\,\nthe tick-tick-tick-fucking-tocks that snare us and tear us from our\n(luscious\, lavish)\npresence in this world\,\nmaking us forget that we’re all\none.\nBeneath all of this\, we are…\n(God?)\nGod!\nJust consider the transient nothing\n(no-thing)\nof the treacherous bullshit that distracts and divides us.\nHis sordid rat race.

SUMMARY:The Naked Fool
DESCRIPTION:Join Kate\, David\, Nicky and Tom on an adventure – the naked fool – the courage to step into the unknown with every step. \nIf you want to liberate your authentic-self and say a wholehearted ‘yes’ to life you must first be prepared to fail.  Join us as we learn to fail with style using a mix of fooling and tantric techniques.  Over these few days\, we will set aside our inner tyrant and with pleasure\, curiosity and imagination welcome our spontaneous and playful selves. \nWe will be holding space for fool and tantra explorers – you don’t have to know anything about to either to be an explorer by the way\, as you have us\, your Tantric Fool sherpas to guide your journey. \nAbout the teachers.\nKate – ‘The fool teaches us not to take ourselves too seriously. When I step into fool energy I can approach life with an innocence and openness that allows life to flow naturally. I get out of my own way and having dropped my defences I am able to respond to life with a wholeheart. Magical things happen. To me Tantra and fooling are both about embracing and trusting this moment and our ability to respond to it. I studied at the Hub Mime and Movement Theatre School that was founded by members of Footsbarn Theatre Company (who then birthed Kneehigh Theatre Company) and have trained under several fools all in the Jacques Lecoq tradition\, including most recently with Simon Edwards and Marian Masoliver. Alongside this I have twenty years of exploring a tantric approach to life including 10 years of training with shakti tantra. \nDavid – I am naturally shy and in the past avoided being the centre of attention at all costs. The idea of a course in the art of comedy where everyone would be watching me get it wrong terrified me. It turns out\, learning to be a Fool is to learn to understand and accept that failure is not something to fear. I recently completed the Art of Comedy course with Simon Edwards and Marian Masoliver and although I found it challenging it helped me understand that when you let go of the fear of “getting it wrong” and embrace the willingness to fall flat on your face\, you discover that failure doesn’t have to be an ignominious ending\, it can be the sudden\, unexpected doorway to a new\, spontaneous opportunity if you choose to see it that way. Realising this and embracing the Fool’s energy has carried me through situations where I would previously have been paralysed with fear. Studying tantra has also taught me to step more lightly and easily through life: when an energy no longer serves me\, I breathe\, let go and step into a new one. The combination of tantra and clowning has allowed me to get past my shyness and embrace my authentic self as I am\, and to accept that my so-called flaws are not a problem unless I choose to see them as that. They are what makes me an interesting and attractive Fool. \nKate and David will be assisted by our able fools Tom and Nicky. Both have attended the Simon Edwards and Marion Masoliver art of comedy training programme in Spain and well practiced in being foolish. \nWhat previous participants said …\n“The Naked Fool workshop was wonderful! Fun and playful but with deep learnings and insights. I had no idea what to expect but trusted the teachers and I am so glad I took the leap to attend. \nEveryone is in the same boat at the beginning\, you have no idea what to expect\, but as soon as you arrive you are so welcome into a friendly open atmosphere and over the weekend you learn to let go of some of your ‘masks’ and learn about being neutral\, or just being. From a neutral place of just being our playful free cheeky soul can come out to play! And you get to ‘play’ with lots of other beautiful souls. Highly recommend this for a fun exploration of your Self.” \n“Ode to see ourselves as others see us. And ne’re to care. To look inside at our hidden spirit – and let it out! To be ourselves. Our foolish selves that we hold in careful reserve lest we be judged. And then to revel in that loving laughing crazy energy. By just being … ourselves.” \n“The Naked Fool workshop was fun\, and playful\, but also insightful and deep work on the psyche. I loved learning about the aspects of the Fool archetype and how it relates to me being more in my Truth and how I am in my life and the Tantra connection. Loved it!” \nThe Gift Economy\nWe are excited to be offering this retreat as an experiment with the Gift Economy.\nWe want to make this work as accessible to as many people are possible.\nFood & accommodation costs have to be covered for us to run the retreat so we ask everyone to pay £300. This can be all on booking or spread over 2 payments of £150.\nYou are also invited to contribute to the tuition costs and running of Shakti Tantra whether that’s £5 or £5000 it’s up to you. \nTo learn more about the gift economy… \n\n\n\nHilly and Annabel in conversation about all things gift economy\nA blog post by Pauline – Money and Meaning\nCharles Eisenstein has written much about this.\n\n\n\nPractical information\n\nThis course starts on a Friday evening with dinner at 7pm and finishes on a Sunday at 2pm (lunch is available after the course ends and you have the option of staying for lunch or taking it on the road with you.)\nOur venue is the beautiful Osho Leela Centre\, in Dorset.  Situated in 18 acres of beautiful countryside\, the Osho Leela Centre is a community space deeply connected to nature.\nBefore signing up to this workshop we ask that you agree to abide by our ethos (includes our T&Cs).
