workshops

Our Tantra & Transformation workshops are a new generation of Tantra workshops, and focus on exploring the tantric principles of Energy-consciousness. Life partners are welcome to come on these workshops together, but the work is NOT relationship-based -- it is about the evolution of the individual. The emphasis is on the energetics of tantra, on the meeting points between the tantric and the shamanic ways of being in the world, and on the transformation that is possible when we embark on the tantric quest for a life that unites sex, heart and spirit.

	The Celtic workshops are seasonal. We renew our connection with our pagan ancestors in learning to attune our energy to the energy of each season.
	The four Celtic Fire-Festival workshops are led by Robert & Marta, surrounded by the natural wood-magic of Hazel Hill Wood nr Salisbury. The two Solstice workshops led by John Hawken take place in the magical landscape of the stone circles and fougous of West Penwith, Cornwall.

Levels of Experience Required: There are many gateways into the garden of tantra. Rather than creating an elaborate hierachical system of levels, which we feel runs counter to the essence of tantra, we offer four guideline categories. "Beginners", "Intermediate", "Trainings" and "Advanced" workshops. Workshops marked "All" are suitable for all levels, but may be quite challenging for a complete beginner.

Workshops are classed as suitable for "Beginners" when they assume no previous knowledge or experience of Tantra. They are no less profound than our other workshops, and are well worth revisiting by the more experienced. They deal with essentials that it is important to revisit later in your journey into Tantra. They rarely involve even optional nudity.

"Intermediate" workshops assume a limited beginner's knowledge of tantra. They often involve a specific application of Tantric principles -- for example, in the case of the Erotic Massage workshop.

"Trainings" are progressively structured. They consist of a series of blocks, each of which goes deeply into one or more elements within the Training. Trainings are designed as a whole, and your commitment is to the whole Training. After the first "block" the group is “closed”, and members of the group all go through the rest of the Training together. There are usually pre-requisites for acceptance onto our Trainings.

Advanced Groups -- Acceptance onto Advanced groups is at the discretion of the Group Leader. We welcome applications from those who have taken courses with other Tantra teaching organisations, or who have been on related paths, such as Shamanism, as well as those who have attended our own workshops. If we do not know you, we may have to satisfy ourselves that you are ready for our Advanced work before accepting you onto our Advanced courses. Advanced Groups are primarily designed for people who have taken a substantial "Training" level course, or its equivalent, but we are always keen to consider anyone strongly drawn to this work. So do make contact, and we will let you know if we think you are ready, or recommend any preparatory steps that we think you should take first -- such as taking one of our other workshops.
