SUMMARY:The Naked Fool
DESCRIPTION:Annabel and Kate are taking you with them on this new adventure – the Fools Journey\, 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. \nHow we come to 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.) \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 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\, as well as twenty years Tantra training.’ \nAnnabel – “I remember in my early days of studying tantra back in 2005 I was painfully shy\, awkward\, self-conscious and frankly in my head.  I’d watch others playing without inhibition and deeply silently wish I could join in – but was way to scared of making a fool of myself; how ironic!  Slowly\, over years of study my ‘inner iceberg’ started to melt and I found myself being a lot more spontaneous.  One day\, about 6 years ago now\, Kate watched me walk across the floor embodying some ridiculous part of myself and told me that I was a natural fool … from that point (and blessed affirmation) I began to consciously study fooling with Simon Edwards and Marian Masoliver and Mark Pearce from the Jacques Lecoq tradition and Daniel Hernandez\, embodying the Fool archetype.  I bring my embodied awkwardness\, playfulness\, shyness and fool courage to support you too\, to embody your inner fool.  It’s going to be a hoot!” \nA while ago Kate Spenceley wrote about our experiences of exploring our personal fools and you can read the blog here (really worth reading!) \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. Everyone 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 Thursday 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.\nPlease note you will also need to pay £420 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.\nAmazing meals provided with an endless supply of teas and coffee.\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 but we highly recommend that you read them before starting the payment process.\n\nIf you have any questions about anything including money\, or simply want to speak to one of our team just drop us a message \nTom Blaker

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  \nTom Blaker
