Q: How intimate do the practices get? 

A: There is no nudity or genital touch any of our events. There will be paired Tantric practices on day 2, which is done in a respectful and tasteful way with people deciding on what level of connection they would like, within the agreed boundaries of the space and of the pair. 

Q: I am single and coming on my own. How does the paired practices on Day 2 work, and what can I expect turning up by myself?

A: The first day involves practices where you are learning to become familiar with, and move, sexual & life-forces energy within your own being. On the 2nd day we do partnered practices where you learn different techniques to circulate this energy with another person. It's a pretty fun process of organically pairing people together over the multiple exercises. For every practice, people get to communicate any fears, boundaries and desires, and your level of participation is completely up to you – boundaries, personal freedom and self-love are taught and honoured first and foremost.

Q: How many couples vs singles do you usually get to this event?

A: On average, for the Fundamentals of Tantra workshop, we usually get 70% single, 30 % couples, and of the singles it's usually quite even between men and women, with slightly more women attending.

Q: I am single and learning this by myself. How can I implement this in a future relationship?

A: You can easily apply all of the practices from Day 2 to a new relationship, or with someone who hasn’t learned Tantra, by:

• implementing them in your own being, where your partner will feel and experience the benefits and be introduced to them through your energy and body.

• or by introducing them through the communication tools we go through in the workshop

Q: Is this program suitable for CIS-gendered people only or do you welcome non-binary and trans folks?

In this workshop, we use the word woman for any person who identifies as a woman, regardless of their assigned sex at birth and we use the word man for any person who identifies as a man, regardless of their assigned sex at birth.

We fully welcome and celebrate trans and non-binary people to join this workshop. We acknowledge that gender is non-binary, fluid, and on a spectrum and support each individual’s right to live in alignment with their gender identity.

That being said, we also acknowledge that the majority of our work and teachings come from heteronormative teachers and traditional Tantric systems. As a result, a significant amount of the language used in the program is heteronormative and/or gendered and explores the impact of gender conditioning on all of us.

The "Masculine" and "Feminine" energy archetypes are a key concept within the Tantric field related to the concepts of Shiva and Shakti. While these energies are present in all genders, as part of this part of the workshop, we acknowledge and explore the impact of gender conditioning, as part of a bigger conversation around cultural and social conditioning, as well as in discussions around sexual polarity from a Tantric perspective. 

Our desire is to be as inclusive of trans and non-binary folks as possible. If you are non-binary or trans, feel into what you need to be safe. If you’re okay working with practices that refer to “Women” and the Feminine, and “Men" and The Masculine, and you feel supported to navigate and make the content applicable to your personal identity, then we wholeheartedly welcome you. However, if that doesn’t feel like enough safety or acknowledgment, we understand and respect that.

Q: Is this workshop inclusive of all sexualities?

We fully welcome all sexual identities, orientations and choices in this workshop. We fully embrace and celebrate LGBTQIA+ sexuality and want it to be fully included in Tantric work. In this workshop, it doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation is. 

However, as above, we acknowledge that at times the teachings and language we use is heteronormative. We are committed to learning and increasing the accessibility of our work, and our desire is to be as inclusive of all sexualities as possible. If you feel okay and safe about being in a space that works with the above language and concepts, then we fully welcome you along. 

In addition, when it comes to the Day 2 paired practices, we require participants work in Masculine and Feminine energy pairs. Participants explore both these energies, in their own beings, throughout the workshop and in these pairings, we often have people holding different energies to the gender they identify with, including in same sex or non-binary pairings.

If you feel okay and safe about being in a space that works with the above language and concepts, then we fully welcome you along.
