Beyond the fascination with sex...

Beyond the fascination with sex, Tantra is about how we use our life-force, in all areas of life.

Tantra is becoming conscious and responsible for how we live.

It is reclaiming our power to grow beyond our conditioned systems of thought.

It is the development of our capacity to meet each other in a space of openness and integrity.

Beyond the futile search for just 'better sex' as compensation for what is missing in our lives, the wisdom and the tools of Tantra - when applied in a broader context - can change everything, in our own lives, and even in society.

This path of responsibility and compassion, which is not just limited to fun and exotic bedroom arts, is actually the ancient way found in the teachings of the Tantric adepts (the 'Siddhas') of India, Nepal, Tibet and China, as well as in the lives and teachings of modern adepts.

To bring Tantra out of its association exclusively with sex is vitally important to enable the liberating essence of Tantra to permeate all aspects of our inner and outer culture.

According to the traditional Tantric teachings, Tantra is THE path for this period of human development (if we believe we are in the period known as the Kali Yuga).

I would only go as far as saying that Tantra has much to contribute, if we know how to access it with sensitivity, with a spirit of service, not of egoism, and avoiding what could be termed 'Spiritual materialism' - the habitual desire to acquire 'new' and 'better' spiritual experiences and teachings.

If you feel drawn to Tantra, as a path of integration, not just titillation, you might be interested in the year-long program that will be launched in 2016.

The material is still being fine-tuned, so that it will be responsive to participants' most urgent needs.
