20 Aug – 25 Aug, 2023

When you hear the word ‘desire’ what immediately comes to mind?  A sound? A caress? A weekend alone with a good book?!  When you see a beautiful flower do you immediately uproot it from the ground or do you leave it to admire it later?  How about a kiss from your lover?  How do you manage that desire?

In all eastern cultures and philosophic traditions desire is an important theme that must be reckoned with by individuals interested in spiritual evolution. In Buddhism desire is seen as one of the major obstacles in reaching  nirvana. In Taoism desire is a fundamental aspect of a person’s essential nature which must be fully integrated into consciousness. In Tantra desire is seen as a guidepost toward unity with the divine.

Desire is a function of the human heart and its manifestations are as varied as the humans who feel those desires and project them out into the world.  But desire is also a surface, and in Essence of Desire we will explore what jewels of transformation exist below that surface.  We will use movement, massage, sound, meditation, the five senses and especially the sense of touch- Taoist & Tantric massage techniques to engage in a deeper relationship with self and lover.

Osho says: “I have a totally different concept of desire. First, desire itself is God. Desire without any object, desire without being goal-oriented, unmotivated desire, pure desire, is God. The energy called desire is the same energy as God.”

“Desire has not to be destroyed, it has to be purified. Desire has not to be dropped, it has to be transformed. Your very being is desire; to be against it is to be against yourself and against all. To be against it is to be against the flowers and the birds and the sun and the moon. To be against it is against all creativity. Desire is creativity.”  Osho, The Book of Wisdom.

“Unless your sexuality rises and reaches to love it is mundane, it has nothing sacred about it. When your sex becomes love, then it is entering into a totally different dimension – the dimension of the mysterious and the miraculous. Now it is becoming religious, sacred, it is no longer profane.”   Osho, The Dhammapada: The way of the Buddha, Vol.2

Are you seeking a broader, yet, embodied definition of sexuality?  In ‘On the Path of Sacred Sexuality’ one takes the steps in one’s journey toward that authentic, empowered, alive, radiant and present ‘You’! 

 Taoist Sexual Practices and Tantra are both founded in the understanding that the body is a sacred vessel; a vessel we use to experience ourselves as complete and eventually integrated beings. Taoist self-cultivation techniques are movement meditation practices which nourish and energize the physical body to prepare us for a sustainable, lasting transformation. Tantric rituals and meditations cultivate the relationship with self so that our connection with the ‘other’ and the world feels like a true union with the divine.  In an atmosphere of openness and warmth we work with the feminine and masculine polarities cherished by both Taoist and Tantric traditions.

On the Path of Sacred Sexuality is a celebration of the human capacities of self-awareness, compassion, playfulness, communion and love. 

In this module participants will:

~ learn why sexuality is sacred

~ learn to drop masks imposed by society

~ get to know the truth about men’s and women’s orgasms

~ begin to accept and cherish one’s own limitations

~ learn techniques of self-awareness and pleasure

~ feel a sense of openness and possibility

~ learn to perceive weaknesses as strengths

~ become aware of one’s longing for authentic expression

~ learn how to reject outdated self- perceptions

~ refine one’s ability to identify and attract a suitable mate

~ learn to create openness, depth and spaciousness in relationship

~ begin to live as love rather than to live for love

Explore the revitalizing and healing potential of sacred sexuality in a playful, safe and joyous environment. The event is open to all singles, couples and partners of whatever style of relationship.

All are welcome regardless of prior experience, sexual orientation, age or any other designation. Participants need not be in a relationship to attend.  No one will ever be obliged to go beyond one’s limits of what one feels is safe.
