Meet the Shakti Tantra Team
Shakti Tantra was formed in 2001 and offers programmes for women, men and couples and private consultations. The workshops focus on dealing with whatever obstacles keep us from our pleasure and the basis of the workshops is to provide a very safe container in which participants feel able to confront the defences and attitudes that inhibit and restrict the flow of their sexual energy, which is their life energy.
About the Shakti Team, their teachings and experience
The ethos of Shakti Tantra is to provide experiences and teachings that can help us find contentment, inner joy, delight, innocence and aliveness. When our illusions, confusions, doubts, denials and unworthiness are lifted, there lies our ecstatic nature, our essential being.
Our society does not encourage these states of love, beauty, joy & peace. We long for these qualities and out of our grief and longing we armour ourselves and get on with what we are encouraged to do, which is building our materialistic world, as though this itself was compensation for true pleasure.
Our anti ecstatic society promotes states of guilt, shame and judgement in which the split between heart and sex, the lack of honour around our sexuality, means that we become less than whole. Shakti Tantra’s purpose is to help heal the shame and guilt around our sexuality and to help us treat our bodies with love and respect. When we move to a place of seeing our sexuality as sacred, we can touch base with our ecstatic nature that is full of beauty.
The content of the workshops includes movement, active meditations, tantric structures and rituals and shamanic exercises – everything is an invitation.
Back in 2001 Sue Newswome helped for birth Shakti Tantra with Hilly Spenceley. She worked with us for many years and here we pay a little tribute to this amazing woman
Teachers at Shakti Tantra
Hilly Spenceley
Hilly’s approach is very grounded and practical, coming from her deep understanding of family and intimate relationships. She is known for her wisdom, joy, love and total acceptance within her workshops and is very skilled and experienced in running groups of which she has over 30 years practice.
Kate
I’m passionate about sharing Tantra because I’m so inspired by transformation. I truly love this work and see its vital importance, especially in our times, as feminine leadership rooted in empowerment and heartfulness becomes more and more essential.
Nicky Hope
My journey with Shakti Tantra has transformed my life. My capacity for love, intimacy, freedom and joy has expanded far beyond what I knew was possible. It is a privilege to be able to bring these gifts into my teaching. This is such rich work the journey never stops and I continue to learn and grow with every workshop and every interaction.
Gabi
Gabi is a certified intimacy and relationship coach with a background in corporate finance. Her journey has been shaped through marriage, motherhood and divorce, and the courage to choose authenticity over comfort. These experiences deeply inform the way she facilitates, with warmth, presence, and a grounded sensitivity. She offers a space that is both gentle and real, where women are invited to soften, and feel, while also meeting their edges. She is passionate about supporting women through changes and life transitions, helping them to rediscover themselves, reconnect with their pleasure, and awaken to their power and innate capacity for self-liberation. Ultimately, to live in a way that feels aligned, alive, and true.
Damon
Damon came to tantra, after a very abusive marriage and was trying to find something to make life worth living. His first introduction to Awakenings gave his life more purpose. Over the next few year he went on a journey, finding out who he could be. That continued as he started to discover joy in the smallest of places, and started assisting on the mixed program, eventually becoming a teacher, using his experience to help others.
Tantra is about learning to grow and becoming happy with who I am. Tantra kept me grounded when things became difficult and let my fly when I wanted to.
Assistants at Shakti Tantra
Tom Blaker
Tantra is a path of fire, in taking this journey with Shakti Tantra I have healed so much of myself. Where before I held fear and isolation, I can now access freedom, play, and presence. It is a privilege to support others through their own transformation, through this powerful work.
