Awakening the Ecstatic Body- Osho Afroz, Lesvos, Greece
2019-08-17 00:00 (Europe/Athens)
“Ecstasy” is a term that is normally ascribed to sexual fulfilment or spiritual bliss. Most of us in the west have grown up in a culture that teaches that sexual fulfilment is ‘sinful’ and spiritual bliss is not possible without renunciation of the body.
In exact opposition to this view of life Taoist and Tantric traditions encourage us to live ecstatically through cultivation of our connection with our body and then to ‘embody’ that spirit by bringing this awareness to our daily lives. They tell us that ecstasy is a perfect word to describe the most natural and genuine way humans are meant to live, that the body is the way to reach fulfilment and bliss and that without our bodies we cannot truly experience ecstasy.
Awakening the Ecstatic Body is an exploration of the healing, vitalizing and creative force which often lays dormant within this beautiful and elegant vessel which this human life has gifted us. Ecstasy is alive, pulsing and waiting to be discovered and manifested as our truest personal expression. There is no greater tonic to the human spirit then when sexual energy is connected to the heart!
Humanity is in need of an awakening to its senses!!!
Moreover, Awakening the Ecstatic Body is a journey into the senses. Our 5 human senses of taste, touch, smell, hearing and seeing can be used as portals to deeper realms of self-knowing and will help to develop our ‘6th sense’ or intuition, which is invaluable when sensing into’ a partner or lover. The subtle awareness one develops through this work is a kind of ‘qi gong’ which one can continue to evolve in relationships with friends, family and even co-workers after the completion of the workshop.
This event will showcase techniques and rituals designed to help us, first, to feel more bodily connected to our senses and, second, to celebrate this beautiful, temporary gift we have been given without shame. We will remind ourselves of the longing and desire that is innate in us to experience ourselves and our world in bold, new ways and, eventually, to embody our love while manifesting our truest selves.
The focuses of this module are twofold: (1) to introduce the T&T precepts of focusing ourselves toward the importance of vitality/motive force, space/time, embodiment of experience, separation/ unification and sexuality all as healing forces of which we purposefully participate in; and (2) developing the ‘skill’ of sensitizing and ‘sensualizing’ the body through any and all emotional motivations which may express physically. Participants will be carefully guided not to become too deeply immersed or ‘stuck’ in the emotional body. While they must go completely into this shadow territory of transformation and growth, they must also be reminded that emotions should be treated like evanescent clouds passing in a windy upper atmosphere.
Our final purpose is to eventually integrate all of this in a way that allows each participant to share from a place of private and individual experience about the journey she/he experiences during this process.
The daily schedule will be from 10am to 5pm every day. There will also be two evening events from 9.30pm to 11pm.
Singles and couples are welcome. We are looking for equal numbers.
Atithi and Kalpita have been teaching, living and loving together for many years. Atithi is a certified Mogadao qigong Guide, yoga teacher and Sacred Taoist Sexuality instructor. For the last 25 years Kalpita has been teaching movement, dance, body awareness, somatics, meditation and more recently Tantra. Together they have completed the Soul Mate training for couples with Ma Ananda Sarita of Osho’s Tantra lineage. Their complimentary differences as individuals combined with their experience as teachers and as a couple on the path of Sacred Sexuality has proven to be a dynamic and sensitive force. They believe that a safe and sacred environment is the basis for personal transformation and spiritual evolution.

Awakening the Ecstatic Body- Roma, Italy
2020-02-14 00:00
AWAKENING THE ECSTATIC BODY
TAO AND TANTRA WORKSHOP
Rome, 14-15-16 February 2020
Tantra is a way that invites us to awaken the body’s natural ability to be ‘ecstatic’, to transform and create a spontaneous rhythm of joy and harmony between feminine and masculine energies within our own bodies and with partners.
“Ecstasy” is a term that is normally ascribed to sexual fulfillment or spiritual bliss. Most of us in the west have grown up in a culture that teaches that sexual fulfillment is ‘sinful’ and spiritual bliss is not possible without renunciation of the body.
In exact opposition to this view of life Taoist and Tantric traditions encourage us to live ecstatically through cultivation of our connection with our body and then to ‘embody’ that spirit by bringing this awareness to our daily lives. They tell us that ecstasy is a perfect word to describe the most natural and genuine way humans are meant to live, that the body is the way to reach fulfillment and bliss and that without our bodies we cannot truly experience ecstasy.
In this group we will explore the vitalizing and transformative potential of sacred sexuality in a playful and protected environment.
We will flow in a new dimension with ourselves through ancient practices and rituals of Tantric and Taoist traditions:
. we will return to the wisdom of the body, reconnecting to the power of the sexual energy
. we will give and receive healing touch through various styles and rituals of physical connection, massage and meditation.
: we will awaken the senses, deepening sensuality and sensitivity
. we will activate our potential beyond limits and shame
. we will celebrate life
This event will showcase techniques and rituals designed to help us, first, to feel more bodily connected to our senses and, second, to celebrate this beautiful, temporary gift we have been given without shame. We will remind ourselves of the longing and desire that is innate in us to experience ourselves and our world in bold, new ways and, eventually, to embody our love while manifesting our truest selves.
The weekend 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.
No one will ever be obliged to go beyond their limits of what he or she feels is safe.

Τι είναι η Τάντρα και το Ταό.
Οι τεχνικές και πρακτικές που ακολουθούμε προέρχονται από τα παραδοσιακά φιλοσοφικά συστήματα της Τάντρα και του Ταό.
Είναι δύο μονοπάτια, δύο τρόποι ζωής, αυτογνωσίας, διαλογισμού και μετασχηματισμού. Έχουν τη δύναμη να φτάσουν βαθιά στο παρελθόν για να θεραπεύσουν συναισθηματικές πληγές και παρελθόντα τραύματα σε ατομικό και συλλογικό επίπεδο, ενώ παράλληλα ξεκλειδώνουν το ανθρώπινο δυναμικό μας για έκσταση, αλήθεια, ένωση και αυτοπραγμάτωση. Λαθεμένα η Τάντρα έχει συνδεθεί μόνο με ερωτικές τεχνικές ή το Καμασούτρα.

Η Τάντρα είναι αρχαίο φιλοσοφικό σύστημα που αναπτύχθηκε στην Ινδία και ενσωματώθηκε και από το Βουδισμό. Και οι δύο αυτές σχολές χρησιμοποιούνται για να ισορροπήσει ο άνθρωπος σε όλους τους τομείς της καθημερινής του ζωής και είναι ευρέως διαδεδομένα σε όλο τον κόσμο σαν μονοπάτια αυτογνωσίας και διαλογισμού.

Kατ΄ επέκταση μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν και στον πιο ιερό τομέα της ανθρώπινης φύσης που είναι η συντροφική ένωση. Η βαθύτερη λαχτάρα του Ιερού Έρωτα είναι να ανοίξει την πόρτα σε ένα απρόσκοπτο ανθρώπινο δυναμικό, ώστε να γίνει αυτή η ζωή έργο τέχνης.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ο στόχος και το όραμα μας:
Θέλουμε να δημιουργήσουμε στην Ελλάδα μια οργανωμένη σχολή που θα εργάζεται με συστηματικό και σοβαρό τρόπο ώστε να δημιουργηθεί και το αντίστοιχο αποτέλεσμα. Όραμα μας είναι να ξεκινήσουμε μια νέα γενεά που θα περιλαμβάνει όλες τις ηλικίες και τα πεδία της ανθρώπινης ζωής στα οποία επιδρούν οι έννοιες του έρωτα, των σχέσεων και της οικογένειας. Θέλουμε να εισάγουμε έναν γεμάτο φρεσκάδα, νέο τρόπο να βιώσει ο άνθρωπος τη δική του δημιουργικότητα, ζωτικότητα και ερωτική έκφραση!
Γεννιόμαστε μέσω της ερωτικής πράξης και, είτε το απολαμβάνουμε είτε το καταπιέζουμε, η ερωτική έκφραση, η ρομαντικότητα και η συντροφικότητα είναι μια μόνιμη παρουσία στη ζωή μας. Όμως σε όλες τις εποχές η ερωτική έκφραση, είτε έχει τονιστεί υπερβολικά, είτε έχει εντελώς καταπιεστεί από διάφορες θρησκευτικές, κοινωνικές ή πολιτισμικές αρνητικές πεποιθήσεις.
Πιστεύουμε ότι η σειρά αυτών των σεμιναρίων έτσι όπως είναι δομημένα και μακροχρόνια θα δώσουν την ευκαιρία να απαλλαγεί από την διαστρέβλωση, την άγνοια, την προκατάληψη, τα ταμπού και την κακοποίηση η πιο αγνή ενέργεια της ανθρώπινης ύπαρξης που είναι η αγάπη και η ένωση, δηλαδή ο Έρωτας. Πιστεύουμε ότι αυτό θα συμβάλει στην παγκόσμια ειρήνη, αλληλοσεβασμό των δυο φύλων και των ανθρώπινων βασικών αναγκών για αγάπη και αλληλοκατανόηση.
**************************************************************
Η ομάδα μας
Συναντηθήκαμε φέτος, το 2020, με κοινό όραμα την ανθρώπινη συναισθηματική εξέλιξη και με όχημα την ίδια ενέργεια από την οποία γεννιόμαστε. Θέλουμε να εργαστούμε συστηματικά και να προσφέρουμε αυτήν την υπηρεσία στην Ελλάδα και σε όλο τον κόσμο.
Η Κάλπιτα και ο Ατίτη ταξιδεύουν και διδάσκουν σε διάφορες χώρες αλλά ζουν και αγαπούν την Ελλάδα. Επιθυμία τους είναι να μοιραστούν και στην Αθήνα, την ενέργεια τους και τις γνώσεις που στην πράξη είδαν ότι δουλεύουν στην δική τους σχέση. Όταν λοιπόν η Μαρία τους πρότεινε να αναλάβει τον οργανωτικό ρόλο δέχτηκαν με μεγάλη χαρά! Στην πορεία μας τα επόμενα χρόνια θα συνεργαστούμε και με άλλους δασκάλους για να έχουμε μια πλήρη και ολιστική προσέγγιση. Η Μαρία θα είναι ένας από αυτούς τους συνεργάτες και θα αναλάβει κομμάτι, μέσα στα σεμινάρια, όπου αναφέρεται στην ψυχοθεραπεία των σχέσεων και τις πεποιθήσεις.
Βιογραφικά
Atithi Brian Schock και Kalpita Victoria Noumta
Στο τέλος του 2009 η Kalpita και ο Atithi συναντήθηκαν στην Ινδία, στην Πούνα σε ένα σεμινάριο που άλλαξε τη ζωή τους. Σαν ζευγάρι αρχίζουν να ταξιδεύουν και να εκπαιδεύονται ανά τον κόσμο. Μέσα στη σχέση τους ανακαλύπτουν και συνειδητοποιούν πως η πολυετής ενασχόληση του Atithi με το Ταό και της Kalpita με την Τάντρα αλληλοσυμπληρώνονται και το όφελος που προέρχεται από τον συνδυασμό τους ήταν εμφανές στη ζωή τους και τη σχέση τους. Tο 2014 ίδρυσαν το σύστημα Ταό και Τάντρα www.taoandtantra.com και αρχίζουν να διδάσκουν την Ιερή Σεξουαλικότητα στην Αγγλία, την Αμερική, τη Ρωσία και στην Ευρώπη, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της Ελλάδας, όπου και είναι η βάση τους και η σχολή τους. Διδάσκουν μαζί και ξεχωριστά ο καθένας ομαδικά μεικτά σεμινάρια ή ξεχωριστές ομάδες ανδρών ή γυναικών και ιδιωτικές συνεδρίες είτε σε ζευγάρια είτε σε ανδρες και γυναίκες. Διδάσκουν επίσης σε Osho Festival και Tantra festival
Πιστεύουν ότι ένα ασφαλές και ιερό περιβάλλον είναι η βάση για προσωπική μεταμόρφωση και πνευματική εξέλιξη. Η Kalpita και ο Atithi έχουν σπουδάσει με διάφορους δασκάλους στην USA, Ταϊλάνδη, Ινδία και Ευρώπη και έχουν ολοκληρώσει την τετραετή εκπαίδευση Soul Mate Training για ζευγάρια με την Ma Ananda Sarita.
Καλπίτα, Kalpita Victoria Noumta
Η Kalpita είναι δασκάλα της Τάντρα, επαγγελματίας χορεύτρια, χορογράφος, δασκάλα χορού και θεραπεύτρια. Είναι η ιδρύτρια του Dancescape – Χοροχώρος (1999), που είναι η σχολή της στην Αθήνα η οποία επικεντρώνεται στην κίνηση, το χορό, την συνειδητοποίηση του σώματος, τεχνικές somatics, το διαλογισμό και την Τάντρα. Η λαχτάρα της για την αλήθεια και την αυθεντικότητα την οδήγησε στην Ινδία, όπου ξεκίνησε το ταξίδι της λαμβάνοντας Osho sannyas το 1993. Από τότε έχει εμβαθύνει και εκπαιδευτεί σε διάφορες διαλογιστικές τεχνικές και ολιστικές εναλλακτικές θεραπείες. Χρησιμοποιεί την κίνηση και την συνειδητότητα σε συνδυασμό με την αποδοχή και την αγάπη σαν τα δύο φτερά του αληθινού πνεύματος της Τάντρα. Αγαπά να δουλεύει με ανθρώπους και να παρακολουθεί την μεταμόρφωση τους. Σήμερα διδάσκει εργαστήρια, δίνει προσωπικές συνεδρίες, χορογραφεί και συνεχίζει την εξερεύνηση της στην αληθινή, εκστατική ανθρώπινη φύση.

Ατίτη, Atithi Brian Schock
Ο Atithi είναι δάσκαλος της Tantra, δάσκαλος του Mogadao Qigong και της Γιόγκα. Δίνει προσωπικές συνεδρίες σε άντρες, σε ζευγάρια και ταϊλανδέζικο μασάζ. Τα τελευταία 2 χρόνια εκπαιδεύεται στην Κινέζικη Ιατρικη. Αφού μελέτησε Τσι κόνγκ και Γιόγκα για πολλά χρόνια στις Η.Π.Α., ξεκίνησε ένα ταξίδι στην Ευρώπη, τη Βόρεια Αφρική, την Ινδία, το Νεπάλ και την Ταϊλάνδη για να βελτιώσει και να ενσωματώσει τις γνώσεις και την εμπειρία του. Κατά τη διάρκεια του ταξιδιού του, βίωσε δύο ισχυρές εμπειρίες που αφορούσαν τον διαλογισμό και την κοινότητα, οι οποίες μετέβαλαν θεμελιωδώς την αντίληψή του και τον ώθησαν να επικεντρώσει εκ νέου τον σκοπό της ζωής του. Ο Atithi διδάσκει ότι η αυτοπαρατήρηση και η πειθαρχημένη ιερή σωματική άσκηση αποτελούν ένα μονοπάτι προς την μεταμόρφωση, την αυθεντικότητα και την αυτοπεποίθηση.

Έχει εργαστεί για 6 χρόνια ως γυμνάστρια στην Ελλάδα και στην Αγγλία. Από το 2000 μέχρι το 2010 χρόνια έζησε μόνιμα στην Ινδία ως εθελόντρια στον μεγάλο πνευματικό και φιλανθρωπικό οργανισμό της Αmma οργανώνοντας οικολογικά προγράμματα και μελετώντας τις Ανατολικές πνευματικές διδασκαλίες. (Άμμα: Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, διεθνούς φήμης πνευματική δασκάλα και φιλάνθρωπος)
Το 2010 η Μαρία Τελίδου πρωτοξεκίνησε να σπουδάζει την τεχνική ΤhetaHealing στο εξωτερικό κυρίως Αγγλία, Ινδία και Αμερική όπου και έγινε εκπαιδεύτρια. Εντυπωσιασμένη από την αποτελεσματικότητα της Τεχνικής ThetaHealing® αποφάσισε να ασχοληθεί εξ’ ολοκλήρου με αυτήν και επέστρεψε στην Ελλάδα. Το 2011 εγκαθίδρυσε για πρώτη φορά στη χώρα μας με ένα συστηματικό και οργανωμένο τρόπο την τεχνική ThetaHealing® (ή Μέθοδος Θήτα ανεπίσημα στα ελληνικά.)
Δημιούργησε την ιστοσελίδα www.mariatelidou.gr όπου μπορείτε να βρείτε τα πάντα για την τεχνική ΤhetaHealing.
Είναι μεγάλο όνειρό της να εγκαθιδρυθεί στην χώρα μας και παντού στον κόσμο ένα σύστημα το οποίο από τη σχολική ηλικία θα διδάσκει την σωστή συναισθηματική και ολιστική προσέγγιση στην ερωτική έκφραση. Αυτό θα ισορροπήσει τις ψυχικές δυνάμεις του ανθρώπου και θα δημιουργήσει καινούργια προσέγγιση στην ζωή όπου η εργασία θα είναι στην υπηρεσία της ανθρώπινης ευαισθησίας, της συντροφικής ζωής και της οικογένειας και όχι το αντίθετο. Όπου οι ανθρώπινες σχέσεις θα είναι η προτεραιότητα και η αληθινή αγάπη μεταξύ μας, ο μόνος στόχος

What is Tao & Tantra?
The techniques and practices we follow come from the traditional philosophical systems of Tantra and Taoism. Tantra and Taoism are two paths, two lifestyles of self-knowledge, meditation and transformation. They have the power to go deep into the past to heal emotional wounds and past traumas at an individual and collective level, while unlocking our human potential for ecstasy, truth, union and self-realization. Unfortunately, Tantra has been incorrectly associated as only having to do with erotic techniques or Kamasutra. Tantra is an ancient philosophical system developed in India and incorporated by Buddhism. Both of these schools are used to balance a person in all areas of his or her daily life and are widely used throughout the world as paths for self-knowledge and meditation.
As an extension, they can be used in the most sacred area of ​​human nature that is love and relationships. The deepest yearning for Sacred Love is to open the door to unimpeded human potential, to make this life, a work of art.
In this introductory seminar:
– You will find out why erotic expression is sacred.
– You will experience the sense of openness and free expression of your mental and emotional potential.
– You will recognize your longing for authenticity, play, relaxation, understanding and communication with yourself and your partner.
– You will learn how to reject outdated beliefs about love from your genetic line, society, cultural tradition or religion.
– Improve your ability to identify and attract a suitable partner or maintain an existing relationship.
– You will learn non-verbal communication and connection techniques with yourself and with a partner.
– You will learn how to be yourself while maintaining the connection with your partner.
– You will begin to live as love rather than for love.
– You will learn how to maintain your erotic expression within the family and how to educate your children in their true erotic expression.
This tutorial is informative and introductory, so exercises will include ways to mentally, energetically and emotionally connect with yourself and your partner. They include group and individual familiarization, opening and interaction exercises. No one will ever be forced to go beyond what he thinks is safe for him/her.
Our goal and vision:
We want to create, in Greece, an organized school that will work in a systematic, serious and progressive way to create authentic results. Our vision is to start a new generation that encompasses all ages and areas of human life influenced by the concepts of love, relationships, and family. We want to introduce a whole fresh, new way for a human being to experience his own creativity, vitality and erotic expression!
We are born through the act of love and, whether we enjoy it or we are oppress it, love, expression, romance and companionship are a constant presence in our lives. Throughout the ages erotic expression has either been over-emphasized or completely suppressed by various religiously, socially, or culturally misguided beliefs about what it means to live in a human body.
We believe that the series of these seminars as they are structured and long termed, will give the opportunity to get rid of all the distortion, ignorance, prejudice, taboo and abuse has been through throughout history, the purest energy of human existence, which is the energy love and union. We believe that this will contribute to world peace, to the mutual respect of the sexes and to the basic human need for love and understanding.
************************************************** ************
The seminars are open and addressed to:
-To all who wish to refine, explore and deepen the physical power of love, compassion, unity and creation which is expressed through love and companionship.

The team
We met this year, 2020, with the common vision of human emotional development and using as a vehicle the same energy we are born with. We want to work systematically and offer this work in Greece and around the world.
Kalpita and Atithi travel and teach in various countries but live and love Greece. They want to share in Athens, their energy and the knowledge they have actually seen working in their own relationship and through their teaching experience.
So when Maria suggested to them that she is willing to take the organizational role, they were thrilled! In the course of the next few years we will work also with other teachers to bring a holistic and holistic approach. Maria will be one of these partners and will take the part, in the seminars, where she deals with relationships psychotherapy and beliefs patterns

Biography

Atithi Brian Schock and Kalpita Victoria Noumta
At the end of 2009 Kalpita and Atithi met in Pune, India, for a seminar that brought them together and changed their lives. In their relationship they quickly discovered that Atithi’s many years of training with Taoist based practices and Kalpita’s training with Tantra complemented each other and the benefits of that combination were evident in their lives and their relationship.
In 2014 they founded Tao & Tantra www.taoandtantra.com and began teaching Sacred Sexuality in England, America, Russia and Europe, including Greece, where they are based and operate their school. They teach together and separately, in mixed group seminars or in separate groups of men, or women and in private sessions with couples or individuals. They also teach at Osho Festivals and Tantra festivals. They believe that a safe and sacred environment is the basis for personal transformation and spiritual evolution. Kalpita and Atithi have studied with teachers in the USA, Thailand, India and Europe and completed four years of Soul Mate Training for couples with Ma Ananda Sarita.
Kalpita
Kalpita is a Sacred Sexuality and Tantra teacher, professional dancer, choreographer, dance teacher and therapist. She is the founder of Dancescape (1999), her school in Athens that focuses on movement, dance, body awareness, somatic techniques, meditation and Tantra. Her longing for truth and authenticity led her to India, where she began her journey receiving Osho sannyas in 1993. She has since deepened and trained in various meditative techniques and holistic alternative therapies. She uses movement and consciousness in combination with acceptance and love as the two wings of the true spirit of Tantra. She loves working with people and watching their transformation. Today she teaches workshops, gives personal sessions, choreographs and continues her exploration of true, ecstatic human nature.
Atithi
Atithi is an international teacher of Movement Meditation. What he calls ‘movement meditation’ is a way of describing his unique method of leading, guiding and finally, teaching. Throughout his three teaching platforms- qigong, yoga and sacred sexuality- the two foundations of breath and movement continually reprioritize each other in an organic and spontaneous flow. For Atithi the truest teaching is the moment of authenticity that arises when awareness of self combines with the actual factors of time & space (participants, location, geography, climate, season, etc.) in a way that engenders the experience of pure unity and an unadulterated feeling of connectedness. He teaches regular classes in Athens.
After studying Qigong (Chi Kong) and Yoga for many years in the US, he embarked on a journey to Europe, North Africa, India, Nepal and Thailand to improve and integrate his knowledge and experience. During his journey he experienced two powerful experiences involving meditation and community experiences that fundamentally changed his perception and moved him to refocus his life’s purpose.
He offers private qigong healing sessions for individuals and also offers Thai massage. Since 2016 Atithi has been a formal student of Classical and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In the near future Atithi will be offering acupuncture, herbs and eventually tuina (a medical massage modality) as additional forms of therapy. Learn more about Atithi at www.spiritdomeqigong.com
Maria Telidou
Maria Telidou was born in Athens in 1971 and is a Professor of Physical Education and Sport, a graduate of the Kapodistrian University of Athens. She has worked for 6 years as a fitness instructor, physical education teacher and couch, in Greece and England. From 2000 to 2010 she lived in India as a volunteer at Amma’s spiritual and charitable organization, organizing ecological programs and studying Eastern spirituality. (Amma: the internationally renowned spiritual teacher and philanthropist, www.amma-greece.org),
In 2010 Maria Telidou first started studying the ThetaHealing technique abroad mainly in England, India and America where she became a trainer.
Impressed by the effectiveness of the ThetaHealing® Technique, he decided to work with it entirely and for that she returned to Greece. In 2011, Maria established ThetaHealing® in a systematic and organized way in Greece.
At her website, www.mariatelidou.gr you can find everything about the ThetaHealing technique.
Meeting Kalpita and Atithi another life dream of her has become a reality.
It is her dream to establish in Greece and throughout the world a modality that teaches the right emotional and holistic approach to erotic expression starting even from mainstream schools. She believes that this will balance the human sprititual powers and create a new approach to life where work and business will be at the service of human sensitivity, companionship and family, not the other way around.

On the Path of Sacred Sexuality~ Osho Afroz, Lesvos, Greece
2020-08-22 00:00
August 22nd-26th, 2020***
Are you seeking a broader and yet embodied definition of sexuality? Are you interested in a sacred practice that has the power to feed the body, mind and spirit AND is rooted in two ancient traditions and thousands of years of practical experience?
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 include various physical and energetic practices, which purify and heal past traumas at the individual level. Tantric rituals and meditations nourish and cultivate the relationship with self, the other and world as the path toward wholeness and unity 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 and authenticity. 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.
Go to Osho Afroz for more information or to book.
***Beloveds, a decision was reached to cancel all workshops at Afroz in August. We are looking forward to meeting you and meditating together with you here this summer in the Buddhafield… or in Athens when we begin our one year program this September, Awakening the Ecstatic body!

***Αγαπημένοι, καθώς όλα τα σεμινάρια έχουν ακυρωθεί και για τον Αυγουστο στο Osho Afroz, το On the Path of Sacred Sexuality δεν θα πραγματοποιηθεί. Σας περιμένουμε να διαλογιστούμε όλοι μαζί εδώ στο Osho Afroz ή στην Αθήνα από Σεπτέμβρη που θα ξεκινήσουμε τον 1ο χρόνο σεμιναρίων με θέμα “Αφυπνίζοντας το Εκστατικό Σώμα!”

Awakening the Ecstatic Body: The Sensual Self
2020-09-13 00:00
In this day-long workshop we will explore the concept, fundamental to both Taoist and Tantric cosmology, that through the 5 senses plus the intuitive 6th sense, we are interconnected as humans to our world.

Our capacity to communicate with each other and the world connects us to universal life force!

Awakening the Ecstatic Body: Ecstatic Woman/ Integrated Man
2020-11-14 00:00
In tribal cultures it is often a tradition that men and women spend time separately to refine skills, to learn from and mentor each other and to share experiences. In our modern world separate time with the same gender helps us to reconnect to our past, to understand and celebrate differences between genders and most importantly to connect as our own ‘tribes’ of men and women with common goals, interests and challenges. In this weekend men and women will meet and work together completely independently of each other.

Awakening the Ecstatic Body: Conscious Touch
2020-12-05 00:00
A Sacred Sexuality would be incomplete without experiential immersion in massage. However, massage in the context of Sacred Sexuality (and especially Tantra) requires that the receiver feel a deep level of trust that can only be built over time. More importantly it requires that the practitioner be able to leave his or her own egoic ideas behind through techniques of self-awareness so as to allow healing touch to flow uninterruptedly through him or her to the receiver.

Awakening the Ecstatic Body: Carnaval- Removing Masks
2021-03-13 00:00
The term “Carnaval” holds a mythopoetic place in pagan traditions in cultures the world over. It is at once a celebration of emergence from the dark and cold of winter, a time of rebirth and renewal of life and vitality and it also, in some cultures, historically signified an opportunity for people in established societies to temporarily step outside of their social roles or positions by way of creative disfrace, masks.

Awakening the Ecstatic Body: Course Summary

To Be Announced

On the Path of Sacred Sexuality~Osho Afroz
2021-08-18 00:00
On the Path of Sacred Sexuality
with Atithi & Kalpita

“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.

“Ecstasy” is a term that is normally ascribed to sexual fulfillment or spiritual bliss. Most of us in the west have grown up in a culture that teaches that sexual fulfillment is ‘sinful’ and spiritual bliss is not possible without renunciation of the body.
In exact opposition to this view of life Taoist and Tantric traditions encourage us to live ecstatically through cultivation of our connection with our body and then to ‘embody’ that spirit by bringing this awareness to our daily lives. They tell us that ecstasy is a perfect word to describe the most natural and genuine way humans are meant to live, that the body is the way to reach fulfillment and bliss and that without our bodies we cannot truly experience ecstasy.
Awakening the Ecstatic Body is an exploration of the healing, vitalizing and creative force which often lays dormant within this beautiful and elegant vessel which this human life has gifted us. Ecstasy is alive, pulsing and waiting to be discovered and manifested as our truest personal expression. There is no greater tonic to the human spirit then when sexual energy is connected to the heart!
Humanity is in need of an awakening to its senses!!!
Moreover, Awakening the Ecstatic Body is a journey into the senses. Our 5 human senses of taste, touch, smell, hearing and seeing can be used as portals to deeper realms of self-knowing and will help to develop our ‘6th sense’ or intuition, which is invaluable when ‘sensing into’ a partner or lover. The subtle awareness one develops through this work is a kind of ‘qi gong’ which one can continue to evolve in relationships with friends, family and even co-workers after the completion of the workshop.
This event will showcase techniques and rituals designed to help us, first, to feel more bodily connected to our senses and, second, to celebrate this beautiful, temporary gift we have been given without shame. We will remind ourselves of the longing and desire that is innate in us to experience ourselves and our world in bold, new ways and, eventually, to embody our love while manifesting our truest selves.

Essence of Desire~ Osho Afroz Meditation Center
2022-08-22 00:00
Eressos, Lesvos Island, Greece
with Atithi & Kalpita

Aug 22nd – 26

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.

Tao & Tantra: Freedom + Love
2024-08-18 00:00 - 2024-08-23 23:59
We are excited and deeply honored to offer this 6-day journey on one of the most essential themes; one which moves our lives and holds a key towards our integration. In this unique place, Osho Afroz, a community and an environment that supports our body, mind and spirit to flourish, we meet with old and new friends as our senses call to us, moment by moment, to create our reality with passion and truth, together.

Freedom 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?

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.

Unlike 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.

This 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 a simple inquiry: Am I more identified with the freedom or love? Or perhaps equally as important, am I more resistant to freedom or love?

“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

“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

Please note: this is not a workshop for beginners. As 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 have a sincere desire to go deep. This workshop will be the most exciting and complete experience we have ever created!

We will:

Use the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital, healing space where relating creates transformation

Use rite, prayer and meditation to create rituals of ecstasy, beauty and truth

Learn how love and freedom are at the foundation of our most deeply held beliefs about relationship

Experience how responsibility is a door to freedom and freedom is a gateway to connection

Use inquiry, one-to-one relating and ritual to resolve repetitive mistakes in relating

Use sensuality, touch, massage, music 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

Experience the necessity of aloneness in relationship

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:

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

*Anyone interested in a deep dive, an embodied and experiential journey into the questions that lie at the foundation of their relationship choices, is welcome; but first you must:

Have completed one of our prior workshops, or

Have some prior Tantra, Taoist or other sacred sexuality experience, and

Complete a 15 minute, online interview with us, prior to registration.

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.

More details will be forthcoming once registration is complete.

Tao & Tantra: Horizons
2025-08-18 12:00 - 2025-08-21 13:00 | Osho Afroz Meditation Center, Eressos, Lesvos, Greece
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?

Tao & Tantra: Horizons

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.

Note:

~ This workshop is a pre-requisite to Sacred Union (22- 24, August, 2025), the workshop for couples that immediately follows Horizons.

~ Singles may continue on to Sacred Union after finding a suitable match during this workshop.

~ Required on time arrival; preferably one day before.

In this workshop we will:

Tao & Tantra: Sacred Union
2025-08-22 10:00 - 2025-08-24 17:00 | Osho Afroz Meditation Center, Eressos, Lesvos, Greece
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?

Tao & Tantra: Sacred Union, 22- 24, August, 2025

Sacred 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.

This 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.

While 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.

Note:

~ This workshop is open to any couple* who sincerely wishes to work toward mutual and personal integrity, honesty, connection and intimacy.

~ Any couple who wishes to join must also complete Tao & Tantra: Horizons (18- 21, August, 2025), the workshop which immediately precedes Sacred Union.

~We recommend booking your accommodation as soon as possible. August fills up quickly!

*The term ‘couple’ may refer to any intimate partnership including, but not limited to new relationships, long term partnerships and LGBTQ relationships

It 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.

In this workshop we will:

~ use the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital, healing space where relating creates transformation

~ learn to use sensuality, conscious touch and massage to create intimacy

~ utilize Tantric and Taoist concepts to create a language for relating

~ 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

~ use music, dance and our unique environment to evoke primal passions

~ 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 meditation to penetrate those primal mysteries and compassion to resolve old belief patterns

~ experience the necessity of aloneness in relationship

~ 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

Freedom & Love '26 edition
2026-08-17 10:00 - 2026-08-22 17:00 | Osho Afroz Meditation Center, Eressos, Lesvos, Greece
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.

Freedom 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?

Unlike 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.

This 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?

“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

“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

As 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:

Use the Tao & Tantra precepts to create a vital, healing space where relating creates transformation

Use rite, prayer and meditation to create rituals of ecstasy, beauty and truth

Learn how love and freedom are at the foundation of our most deeply held beliefs about relationship

Experience how responsibility is a door to freedom and freedom is a gateway to connection

Use inquiry, one-to-one relating and ritual to resolve repetitive mistakes in relating

Use sensuality, touch, massage, music 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

Experience the necessity of aloneness in relationship

Learn to tap universal reserves of energy to create a life that is a work of art
