DEVOTED - ANCIENT TANTRIC RITUALS FOR BELOVEDS

A truly unique immersive workshop and ceremonial experience for beloveds, couples and partners.

Whether you are single, in casual lovership or a committed partnership, our Devoted Series is here to support you to connect more deeply to self and ignite your relationships.

DEVOTED: Ancient Tantric Rituals for Beloveds

A ceremonial exploration of Tantra, sacred sexuality and meaningful connection.

A unique opportunity to dive deep into the love that exists between couples and beloveds. 

With one day dedicated to the feminine body and one day dedicated to the male form, you are invited to deeply meet each other with devotion and admiration, at the level of your comfort. 

You will learn how to create deeper intimacy and connection together through the art of slow, attuned and sensual touch. You will be introduced and guided to explore the Tantric Massage principle of Lingham and Yoni massage.

The workshop includes connection and embodiment practices, the creation of your own ritual space, hands on Tantric massage practice and a full Tantric massage experience with your partner in a safe, sacred and ceremonial context. 

The experience is educational, experiential and ceremonial.

You will receive:

• A first hand experience of ceremonial arts and ritual to learn how to create sacred space and move from experiencing ‘one-time wonders’ to entering states of timelessness with your beloved.

• A demonstration of Tantric massage and guidance into your own ritual, including setting up a sacred space, holding presence, intuitive touch without objectives and supporting the receiver to open and integrate at their own pace.

• Tantric tools and techniques to expand your capacity for pleasure and connection and be able to draw upon this at home. Our work is influenced by ancient Tantric and shamanic practices, deep esoteric wisdom and trauma-informed somatic education. We work with the mysteries of the heart and the feminine and weave together practical knowledge and intuitive wisdom to invite you into a sacred space where the magical realms of previously untouched pleasure and connection await.

• Education and embodied practice of consent and boundaries.

Are you ready to take your pleasure and connection to the next level?

We support you to:

• create a deeper, more intimate connection with yourself and your beloved(s)

• reignite the fiery passion in your relationship

• access extraordinary levels of intimacy and connection that transcends daily routines or habits

• learn how to slow down, experience more bodily sensations and expand your capacity for pleasure

• learn to give and receive the touch you crave - including asking for what you really desire

• develop qualities of sensitivity and intuition to attune to one another more easily and be more present in lovemaking (and life!)

• see beyond the veils of what your daily relationship may look like to its true essence  - re-meet or deepen with one another’s unique wonder 

• improve your communication and capacity to work with challenge (such as difference in libido and expectations) 

• appreciate sex as art and a sacred practice 

• prioritise quality, connected lovemaking over arbitrary goals for ‘sex X times a week’

• reduce any shame or stigma around desires for sexual connection, intimate relating and patterns such as masturbation in relationship or porn/vibrator addiction

• understand the masculine and feminine more deeply, including how these qualities interact with life and sexuality - for example, how your women opens, how your man holds presence

• learn tools and practices to support the embodied integration of the experience and sustained change

• meet others who share similar values and whom you can connect with on a deeper level.

How do I know this is right for me and my partner?

• You sense there is more to intimacy, relationships and sexual connection than you see in the world or have experienced - you know the Hollywood orgasm is just for show!

• You are in a beautiful partnership and wanting to take your relationship to another layer of depth, intimacy and beauty.

• You are looking to establish/re-meet the building blocks of lovemaking, connection and intimacy. 

• You are single/casually dating and wanting to explore your own sexuality, Tantric tools and techniques and are open to working with friends, beloveds or in casual lovership.

• You want to access more meaningful and juicier sexual connections but don’t know how to get there.

• You are seeking a life of rich meaning. Maybe you sense there is more to life than what you are experiencing - i.e. squeezing sex into a busy schedule, being on the treadmill of expectations, routines and structures.

Why is this work important?

There are many supportive aspects to this work. Here are a few:

• Learning how to give and receive the art of devotional touch and reverence for the human body (in all its imperfect perfections) can be deeply healing in a world which prioritises unattainable expectations of what beauty is. Meeting your body and your partners body without a goal or judgement supports a sense of safety, greater self-confidence, self-love, healing of traumas and insecurities and deepens intimacy

• Developing greater confidence in your lovership and relational skills improves communication, openness, transparency and a willingness to acknowledge, honour and explore desires

• Working with sexuality has profound effects on our whole self - the impacts can ripple out into other areas of life such as a greater ability to eye gaze, confidence in public speaking and social skills, heightened magnetism and a deeper connection to nature and your own power centre 

• Repatterning sexual energy and arousal to a non-goal oriented experience can revolutionise your sex life… The impacts of slowing down are limitless:

  • slowing down your sex slows down your life - imagine eating a delicious chocolate cake slowly, tasting every bite and sighing as you go…. instead of eating too quick, losing presence and missing the feeling of satiation at the end

  • increased sensitivity in the genitals and whole pelvic area

  • reaching places in the body and psyche that are the most physically, energetically and spiritually pleasurable requires trust, surrender and patience

  • moving sexual energy around the body leads to full body and multi-orgasmic states and greater sensitivity in other areas such as the heart and throat

  • pleasure states that provide regenerative nourishment (moving away from quick fixes and post orgasmic depletion)

  • increased capacity to be present with emotions arising, leading to greater intimacy and the capacity for sexual healing

  • entering into other worldly states of bliss (spiritual experiences of love-making)

• Expanding the concept of intimacy supports greater enjoyment of the simple pleasures in life such as time alone, time together in nature - a joyful experience of living in the moment.

About the space - what this isn't

• This is not a dating event. If you are coming with a friend, it is not an opportunity to hook up with others.

• This is non-penetration space. We are working with sexuality as a sacred life-force. It is a place to learn and connect but there will be no intercourse in the space.

• You will not be asked to do anything you don't want to do.

• We will do everything we can to ensure beginners feel comfortable to participate.

• You are invited into your own exploration of boundaries and pacing. Pushing to open too quickly is not recommended and we will support you to move at the pace that is right for your body.

• This is a sober event - no alcohol or drugs.

• Please come on time.
