This retreat is as much about Tantra as a spiritual path as it is about Tantra as a way of opening to more pleasure and love. Learning for yourself will go hand in hand with expanding your facilitation skills.
This is an experiential and interactive training, it requires an interest in personal development for yourself, along with the interest in learning to facilitate for others. We can only facilitate to the level of depth that we have been able to go ourselves.
An important aspect of this training is building healthy tribe.
This means we will explore what healthy community means and work toward a culture of love in action.

About the Training
Niyaso and her team will share from their expertise and empower you to share yours gifts with skill and integrity.

There is much misunderstanding about Tantra in our Western world. Tantra is not just a set of techniques in order to have some kind of high tech version of sex. Tantra offers practices that help us align with our deeper selves and techniques that are effective in finding our inner truth. Enhancing our ability to have pleasure is important, but focusing only on better, longer orgasms or more pleasure can be a distraction from the true understanding of Tantra as a way home. There is a subtle difference between those two intentions, yet all desire is legitimate and will ultimately bring us home. That’s the deepest meaning of Tantra.
Connection with Nature
This Tantra Practitioners Training is set in a rustic nature retreat setting where we approach the learning from the deepest, most integrated place possible. In addition to daily teaching of skills and practices, there will be nature immersion space where you are guided to awaken your sense of connection to Mother Earth and receive wisdom directly from her to you. There will be time to explore the island in your free time.
Nature has the capacity to teach us, heal us and help us align with our highest wisdom. When we become still, when we listen and feel, when we sense the messages that Mother Earth wants to share with us we become whole and happy. This is the essence of Tantra.
In this training, Tantra techniques are used to further the process of coming closer to nature and our inner essence. Tantra is like an art form. It’s paying attention to the beauty and power of sexual & life energies to become the most excellent lover and being. Seeing sex as a sacred energy, to make sexual intimacy a true form of art, you need creativity, skill, knowledge, and wisdom. For this, we need to get quiet, unwind, allow time to stop, surrender, and be receptive. In this training, we create a unique setting that supports this attunement. This, along with the skills we will teach you, helps you become the being that can help others effectively and with ease.
