SUMMARY:Tao & Tantra: Horizons
DESCRIPTION:We want to celebrate 10 years of Tao & Tantra with you by offering two\, new workshops to our repertoire!  Is your spirit ready for a new journey? \n\n\n\nTao & Tantra: Horizons \n\n\n\nStanding 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! \n\n\n\nSimilarly\, 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. \n\n\n\nThis 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. \n\n\n\nNote: \n\n\n\n~ This workshop is a pre-requisite to Sacred Union (22- 24\, August\, 2025)\, the workshop for couples that immediately follows Horizons. \n\n\n\n~ Singles may continue on to Sacred Union after finding a suitable match during this workshop. \n\n\n\n~ Required on time arrival; preferably one day before. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will: \n\n\n\n~ celebrate the aliveness of being on a spiritual path together \n\n\n\n~ use the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital\, healing space where relating creates transformation \n\n\n\n~ learn to use all of our senses to ‘see’ the truth of how we relate to connection \n\n\n\n~ learn about our personal relationship to perception and how it creates emotion \n\n\n\n~ use rite\, prayer and meditation to create rituals of ecstasy\, beauty and truth \n\n\n\n~ use inquiry\, one-to-one relating and ritual to resolve repetitive mistakes in relating \n\n\n\n~ use sensuality\, touch\, massage\, music\, dance and our unique environment to evoke primal passions \n\n\n\n~ use meditation to penetrate those primal mysteries and compassion to resolve old belief patterns \n\n\n\n~ learn to use depth of feeling as a tool to discover and liberate deep longing for connection \n\n\n\n~ learn to tap universal reserves of energy to create a life that is a work of art \n\n\n\nIf 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: \n\n\n\n~ 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 \n\n\n\nAll (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.  \n\n\n\nSchedule: 18-21/8/25 \n\n\n\n~ Start after lunch on the 18th and finish after lunch on the 21st \n\n\n\n~ Some night sessions\, 9:30-11pm. \n\n\n\nSo\, if you are ready to jump in contact Osho Afroz for registration and booking your stay: info@oshoafroz.com  If you have any questions\, email us directly (info@taoandtantra.com) or contact us on Whatsapp or Viber at +30 697 807 4464.  \n\n\n\nIn the spirit of trust and truth\, \n\n\n\nAtithi & Kalpita

SUMMARY:Tao & Tantra: Sacred Union
DESCRIPTION:We want to celebrate 10 years of Tao & Tantra with you by offering two\, new workshops to our repertoire!  Is your spirit ready for a new journey? \n\n\n\nTao & Tantra: Sacred Union\, 22- 24\, August\, 2025 \n\n\n\nSacred union is a term used in Tantra to describe the pinnacle moment of the merging of the divine forces of Shiva & Shakti\, the sacred masculine and feminine principles regarded as the foundation of all interactions in the universe.  The term ‘sacred’ refers to the belief that this moment is inherently transpersonal\, beyond human capability of comprehension and\, therefore ineffable or unable to be spoken about. The term ‘union’ is used in its most fundamental aspect\, namely that there is an experience of life for humans that is ‘consciousness beyond duality’.  Sacred union is therefore a transpersonal experience\, which is incomprehensible\, ineffable consciousness beyond duality. \n\n\n\nThis view\, while not inherently sexual or sensual\, is used in Tantra because the goal of union of the divine feminine and masculine is only\, truly attained within each partner\, simultaneously and spontaneously. Tantric schools taught that because sexuality and sensuality are aspects of our human experience which are so rich with energetic potential they are\, therefore\, capable of attracting our awareness so totally that they act as vehicles to transpersonal experience.  Moreover\, Tantric couples understand that their relationship is a divine vehicle meant to harmonize the universal inner masculine and inner feminine aspects within each partner through the external catalyst of physical attraction and loving connection.  As this happens it sends ripples outward\, affecting those around the couple and\, on a microcosmic level\, the world and the universe. \n\n\n\nWhile these lofty ideals may not be the prerogative of every couple\, it is our hope to inspire and instill this consciousness as an active\, growing seed within those couples who enter this space with us.  \n\n\n\nNote: \n\n\n\n~ This workshop is open to any couple* who sincerely wishes to work toward mutual and personal integrity\, honesty\, connection and intimacy. \n\n\n\n~ Any couple who wishes to join must also complete Tao & Tantra: Horizons (18- 21\, August\, 2025)\, the workshop which immediately precedes Sacred Union. \n\n\n\n~We recommend booking your accommodation as soon as possible. August fills up quickly! \n\n\n\n*The term ‘couple’ may refer to any intimate partnership including\, but not limited to new relationships\, long term partnerships and LGBTQ relationships  \n\n\n\nIt is worth mentioning that this workshop is very dear to us as a couple on the path of sacred sexuality.  We love working with couples and watching as intimacy is revealed\, enlivened\, integrated and refined.  For us it amounts to watching divine artistry or poetry in spontaneous creation.  Because of this we intend to make sure that our space is held and maintained in the utmost care.  For intimacy and transformation to flourish\, an environment of safety and security must be the highest principles. \n\n\n\nIn this workshop we will: \n\n\n\n~ use the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital\, healing space where relating creates transformation \n\n\n\n~ learn to use sensuality\, conscious touch and massage to create intimacy \n\n\n\n~ utilize Tantric and Taoist concepts to create a language for relating \n\n\n\n~ utilize the trust and love of our partner and the power of our own longing to evolve a sense of self that can only be achieved in relationship to a beloved \n\n\n\n~ use music\, dance and our unique environment to evoke primal passions \n\n\n\n~ use rite\, prayer and meditation to create rituals of ecstasy\, beauty and truth \n\n\n\n~ use inquiry\, one-to-one relating and ritual to resolve repetitive mistakes in relating \n\n\n\n~ use meditation to penetrate those primal mysteries and compassion to resolve old belief patterns \n\n\n\n~ experience the necessity of aloneness in relationship \n\n\n\n~ learn to use depth of feeling as a tool to discover and liberate deep longing for connection \n\n\n\n~ learn to tap universal reserves of energy to create a life that is a work of art \n\n\n\nIf 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: \n\n\n\n~ why sexuality is sacred~ 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 \n\n\n\nSchedule: 22-24/8/25 \n\n\n\n~ Beginning at 10am on the 22nd and finishing on the 24th at 5pm. \n\n\n\n~ Some night sessions\, 9:30-11pm. \n\n\n\nIf you are ready to jump in contact Osho Afroz for registration and booking your stay: info@oshoafroz.com  If you have any questions\, email us directly (info@taoandtantra.com) or contact us on Whatsapp or Viber at +30 6978074464.  \n\n\n\nIn the spirit of trust and love\, \n\n\n\nAtithi & Kalpita

SUMMARY:Freedom & Love '26 edition
DESCRIPTION:We are excited and honored to offer this 6-day journey on one of the most essential themes; one which moves us on so many levels and holds a key towards our integration of love\, sex\, intimacy & freedom.  \n\n\n\nFreedom and love are like two wings of a great bird; a bird that cannot live unless it is able to fly.  Have you ever considered how they are related?  Are you ready to unravel the mystery?   \n\n\n\nUnlike other paradigmatic forces- yin & yang\, masculine & feminine\, light & dark\, good & evil- freedom & love don’t strike us as strictly oppositional\, except for one aspect of our human reality- intimate relationships.   \n\n\n\nThis workshop is designed with one main purpose- to get to the heart of the struggle between the search for deep\, loving intimacy and the longing for the lasting feeling of freedom within that intimacy.  Owing to the gravity of this central question we have to start where we are; with inquiry: Am I more identified with freedom or love? Am I more resistant to freedom or love? What does freedom look like in the context of deep intimacy? How can I love totally while honoring deep commitments to myself?  \n\n\n\n“Love has to be of the quality that gives freedom\, not new chains for you; a love that gives you wings  and supports you to fly as high as possible.” ~Osho \n\n\n\n“Unless meditation is achieved\, love remains a misery.  Once you have learned how to live alone\, once you have learned how to enjoy your simple existence\, for no reason at all\, then there is a possibility of solving the second\, more complicated problem of two persons being together.  Only two meditators can live in love- and then love will not be a koan.” ~Osho \n\n\n\nAs we want to go to the heart of the issues that divide us from each other and from ourselves\, we are looking for participants who want to celebrate and at the same time\, to go deep! We will: \n\n\n\n\nUse the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital\, healing space where relating creates transformation\n\n\n\nUse rite\, prayer and meditation to create rituals of ecstasy\, beauty and truth\n\n\n\nLearn how love and freedom are at the foundation of our most deeply held beliefs about relationship\n\n\n\nExperience how responsibility is a door to freedom and freedom is a gateway to connection\n\n\n\nUse inquiry\, one-to-one relating and ritual to resolve repetitive mistakes in relating\n\n\n\nUse sensuality\, touch\, massage\, music and our unique environment to evoke primal passions\n\n\n\nUse meditation to penetrate those primal mysteries and compassion to resolve old belief patterns\n\n\n\nLearn to use depth of feeling as a tool to discover and liberate deep longing for connection\n\n\n\nExperience the necessity of aloneness in relationship\n\n\n\nLearn to tap universal reserves of energy to create a life that is a work of art\n\n\n\n\nIf 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: \n\n\n\n\nWhy sexuality is sacred\n\n\n\nSimple exercises for health\, vitality and relaxation\n\n\n\nAbout men’s and women’s orgasms\n\n\n\nTechniques of self-awareness and pleasure\n\n\n\nTo accept limitations and reject outdated self- perceptions\n\n\n\nTo create depth\, spaciousness and potential in relationship\n\n\n\nTo become aware of one’s longing for authentic expression\n\n\n\n\nAnyone interested in a deep dive\, an embodied and experiential journey into the questions that lie at the foundation of their relationships\, is welcome. Please note: \n\n\n\n\nA completed Tao & Tantra registration form is necessary to confirm your attendance\n\n\n\nAll (singles and couples) are welcome regardless of sexual orientation\, age or any other designation. \n\n\n\nCouples may choose whether or not to work with their partner or with others.\n\n\n\nMore details will be forthcoming once registration is complete.\n\n\n\n\nSchedule & Timetable: 17-22 August (subject to change) \n\n\n\nEveryday: 10.00 – 17.00 with 2 night sessions10am-1:30pm Morning session1:30pm Lunch3-5pm Afternoon session8.20pm Dinner9.30-11.00pm Night session (1or 2) \n\n\n\nIn the spirit of freedom & love\,Kalpita & Atithi
