Our Approach
The ethos of Shakti Tantra is to provide experiences and teachings
that can help us find contentment, inner joy, delight, innocence
and aliveness. When our illusions, confusions, doubts, denials
and unworthiness are lifted, there lies our ecstatic nature,
our essential being. Our society does not encourage these states
of love, beauty, joy & peace. We long for these qualities
and out of our grief and longing we armour ourselves and get
on with what we are encouraged to do, which is building our
materialistic world, as though this itself was compensation
for true pleasure.
Our anti ecstatic society promotes states of guilt, shame
and judgement in which the spilt between heart and sex, the
lack of honour around our sexuality, means that we become
less than whole. Shakti Tantra’s purpose is to help
heal the shame and guilt around our sexuality and to help
us treat our bodies with love and respect. When we move to
a place of seeing our sexuality as sacred, we can touch base
with our ecstatic nature that is full of beauty.
Shakti Tantra was formed in 2001 and offers an ongoing programme
for women, workshops for couples and private consultations.
The workshops focus on dealing with whatever obstacles keep
us from our pleasure and the basis of the workshops is to
provide a very safe container in which participants feel able
to confront the defences and attitudes that inhibit and restrict
the flow of their sexual energy, which is their life energy.
The content of the workshops includes movement, active meditations,
tantric structures and rituals and shamanic exercises –
everything is an invitation.
