Standing on top of a mountain one can see far and wide. In fact, it is said that from the highest peaks of the Himalayas one can perceive the curvature of the earth. From that perspective the view is marvelous and the spirit longs to soar great distances. A horizon, however, can only be experienced from far away. Just like a rainbow, when you try to close the distance the horizon moves away at the same rate. You never arrive to what you perceive from the distance. The virtues of a horizon are perspective, solitude, vastness, interconnection, gratitude and celebration!
Similarly, when we meet someone new, the heart comes alive with all manner of hopes, wishes, fears and even fantasies. The longing of the spirit for connection makes us crazy! Sooner or later, it becomes clear that what one perceives at the beginning of the journey together is never how we feel within the intimacy of relationship. When the connection deepens it means more togetherness, more intimacy, love and romance until it’s enough, then perhaps, too much! If the connection breaks, we create distance again. We need time and space to integrate, to heal and evolve. When we’re ready to turn around and look back at what happened we have a fresh, new perspective on our journey. Closure is also a horizon! We begin to conceive of a life lived well as one that prominently features both intimacy and aloneness.
This workshop is designed for singles and couples who are ready to look, with honest eyes, at the hard work we have been doing; to accept it, to celebrate being alive on this spirit path, and to enjoy doing it! Some key words for this journey are perspective, projections, boundaries, archetypes and transfiguration.
In this workshop we will:
~ celebrate the aliveness of being on a spiritual path together
~ use the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital, healing space where relating creates transformation
~ learn to use all of our senses to ‘see’ the truth of how we relate to connection
~ learn about our personal relationship to perception and how it creates emotion
~ use rite, prayer and meditation to create rituals of ecstasy, beauty and truth
~ use inquiry, one-to-one relating and ritual to resolve repetitive mistakes in relating
~ use sensuality, touch, massage, music, dance and our unique environment to evoke primal passions
~ use meditation to penetrate those primal mysteries and compassion to resolve old belief patterns
~ learn to use depth of feeling as a tool to discover and liberate deep longing for connection
~ learn to tap universal reserves of energy to create a life that is a work of art
If you have worked with us before you will recognise the container we create together to provide a safe foundation for joy, openness and transformation, in which we learn:
~ simple exercises for health, vitality and relaxation
~ about men’s and women’s orgasms
~ techniques of self-awareness and pleasure
~ to accept limitations and reject outdated self- perceptions
~ to create depth, spaciousness and potential in relationship
~ to become aware of one’s longing for authentic expression
All (singles and couples) are welcome regardless of sexual orientation, age or any other designation. Couples may choose whether or not to work with their partner or with others.
