Hilly Spenceley is a powerful and dynamic sexual/spiritual teacher. She is a catalyst and initiator. As mother of 6 and grandmother of 9, she is the ultimate wise women and dark angel, working at all times with the shadow. Her approach is very grounded and practical, coming from her deep understanding of family and intimate relationships. She is known for her wisdom, joy, love and total acceptance within her workshops and is very skilled and experienced in running groups of which she has over 30 years practice.

The earlier part of her life was working deeply within the sexual arena….. practicing and teaching meditation and hatha yoga. Her quest for bringing these two paths together came about when she met John Hawken in the early nineties where she did the first tantra couples training in the UK. She was so struck by the deep and meaningful work that 100 % changed her life for the better, that her and John continued to work together until 2007…… together they created the Skydancing tantra individuals training and also taught the Skydancing couples trainings. They were the first team to teach tantra in the UK and their work influences a number of the tantra schools running the UK today.

In 2001 Hilly created Shakti Tantra which initially was only working with women in a tantric setting. She was joined quite quickly by Sue Newsome, her co-teacher and dreamer and then Martin Hellawell organiser and teacher on the mixed program. Together they have created a very leading edge tantra school, that not only works with women but includes an individuals training, also working with all aspects of sexuality and they are constantly and consistently at the forefront of what is happening around the world within the consciousness of sexual energy. Hilly’s deep passion is to give each participant various tools and workable models so they have the freedom to live the life they choose. She brings immense experience to her work, including bahkti yoga, past life therapy, metaphysical evolutionary skills, meditation and shamanic teachings.

She excels within the knowledge of sacred sexuality, body worship rituals, ceremony and rites of passage, sensual touch and unconditional love of the ‘divine feminine’ and believes that if you use your sexual energy with consciousness, it is a catalyst for great change within your life. She has been studying the science of tantra both in the east and west for many years and she validates the body as a source of information and tremendous wisdom. To relax in the wisdom of a mature woman, to be held in a safe, grounded and honoring way is truly an experience of total love, acceptance and nurture.

Hilly lives with her beloved, in the deep and meaningful land at the end of England in south west Cornwall, a stone’s throw from Lands End with the sea surrounding her on three sides. Here she celebrates her large family, grows her own veg , has bees, dogs, cats and chickens……eats organically and meditates. She truly has created the life that brings her immense joy and pleasure. Hilly is a member of the British Association of Sexual Educators (BASE), the Association of Sexual Energy Professionals (ASEP) and the Sexual Health and Disability Alliance (SHADA).

Sue Newsome is a truly inspirational guide and facilitator of tantra and sexuality teachings. She is passionate about following a path of discovery, learning and expansion. Her embodiment of her own sexuality serves as a major motivation for men and women to step out of their story and evolve from their guilt and shame around their sexuality.
