Oxford

Oxford Tantra has been arranging Tantra workshops in the Oxford area for about seven years. We trained with John Hawken, head of SkyDancing Tantra UK, work as his organisers at a national level, and also assist and teach with him. For the past three years we have also led local introductory weekends in Oxford, South Midlands, and the London area. As well as running introductory weekends for John Hawken's SkyDancing and Tantra & Transformation trainings, we run our own series of Celtic Tantra workshops, offer individual sessions, and provide regional support for the daily practice of tantra for people who have already taken Trainings with John, or with the other leading tantra-teaching organisations.

For local workshops, we use a beautiful small Edwardian barn close to our home, recently converted into a Yoga studio. It is warm, well-carpeted, comfortable, and secluded, with a lovely atmosphere. There is enough space for 14 people to work in, and parking facilities nearby. These Oxford workshops are non-residential, but there is ample b & b accommodation to suit all pockets within 10 or 15 minutes of our home.

For the Celtic workshops, we use a magical centre in a the heart of a 70-acre wood near Salisbury, with a group room, sleeping lofts, showers and cooking facilities. For other workshops, we use a variety of venues in the South Midlands and London area.

Individual Men, Women and Couples Sessions

Robert offers individual tantric massage and bodywork sessions for both men and women. These sessions work both on a physical level -- using deep muscle massage and pelvic exercises-- and also on an energetic level, using light erotic touch and gentle movement to awaken the energy body and increase your capacity for erotic pleasure.

Marta offers Tantric healing sessions for women only. These sessions work with gently clearing any blocks or barriers to experiencing your true aliveness and sensuality as a woman, using light massage, breathing and Tantric bodywork.

Together, Robert and Marta offer personal Tantric workshops for couples who prefer an individual session to a weekend workshop. These mini-workshops take a whole afternoon or evening and give you a delightful taste of the Tantric experience for couples. Such personal sessions make wonderful birthday, Christmas or anniversary gifts to give your partner!

In some cases we may ask you to attend an introductory weekend in order to experience the basic principles of Tantra before taking you on as an individual client.

What to Bring to Workshops

Please wear loose clothing (as you would for yoga or dance workshops), and bring with you a lungi or sarong, which we wear for some ceremonial rituals, and for some of the massage included in our structures.

Some Principles and Structures explored in Our Work
Awakening the Senses	A chance to rediscover the delights of the five senses, and expand awareness.
Discovering the Energy-Body	Breathing and movement techniques for charging our bodies, and enabling us to begin to experience ourselves less as static form and more as dynamic flow.
Celebrating our Sexuality	We begin the process of reclaiming our erotic heritage as pleasure-beings, recognizing the connections between sex, heart and spirit.
Meeting each other as Energetic Beings	We learn some of the breathing and meditation exercises that enable us to meet as Shakti and Shiva, the Goddess and the God.
