Transcription

1 Osho Leela Sexuality Gathering 31 st July - 5 th August and 7 th - 12 th August 2017 What s On! Chunk 1 31 July - 5 August Judith Antell Judith teaches meditation through the breath and the body. She works with individuals, couples and groups exploring the essential energies of human experience desire, power, love, meaning, creativity, purpose and expression. She is particularly interested in ritual and the potential in the physical and visible to take us beyond. She enjoys the Edge and loves exploring her own and others. Sessions Conscious Hugs, Loving Hugs, Sexual Hugs Here at Osho Leela hugging is a popular activity. It s one of the first ways that we come into connection with each other, feel ourselves, feel the other, and feel our responses to the connection. In this ritual we will be exploring hugs at a deep level. Why they are so powerful, and how they can be a profoundly spiritual, nurturing, discerning, orgasmic experience depending on how they re given and received. Not to mention their role as tantric asanas. So come and join us to dive deeply into the humble hug and allow it to take you into some places perhaps you never imagined.

2 Power and Desire Using the whip as a physical symbol of power we will explore the erotic dynamics of power and equality, desire and surrender. This workshop will involve some structures in pairs and some in threes. Some impact will be invited and you are encouraged to work within your own boundaries at all times, both as giver and as receiver. Whips will be provided and you do not need to bring anything other than yourselves. Rupert and Grace Rupert has been holding sacred space for groups since 1992 and is a certified facilitator with Urban Tantra, the School of Being, and the School of Consent. Inclusivity and consent underlie all his work, which welcomes people of all genders and orientations. In this era of #metoo, opportunities for us to come together in equality, respect, and playfulness are more widely needed than ever. Grace is a lifestyle kinkster and queer pioneer. Her journey into tantra began with personal healing for trauma, before finding the fascinating world of BDSM. Using her background in health and psychotherapy, Grace empowers others to step into their full being - through learning about consent, education on genital anatomy and pleasure zones, and exploring power dynamics and impact-play. Kink 101 Impact, Sensation, Safe-Words With a conscious intention, kink may be used for experiencing ecstasy, stepping into your power, improving consent skills, opening to surrender, creating sacred ritual, exploring intimacy, and simply having fun! Toys will be provided, and there will be guidance in using them solo, in pairs, or in groups. You may also attend purely as a witness. The choice is always yours. Kink 102: Power, Surrender, Consent Are we addicted to power, or do we give it away? Do we long to surrender - and if so, under what conditions? We will explore the psychological landscapes of power-play, by stepping consciously into Dominance and submission, which may be insightful, playful, erotic, cathartic, liberating, healing, or all the above. Everyone is welcome, and we support you in consent at all times.

3 Conscious Kink and BDSM space Join us for an evening of consciously and consensually exploring the delights of Kink and BDSM. We will hold space to create a safe container in which you can practice sensation and impact play, and/or the dynamics of power and surrender in D/s play. From total newbie to party slut, you are invited to attend however you prefer dressed up, dressed down, or not dressed at all! Our gathering will begin with an opening circle at 9pm, which you must attend if you wish to take part - after that you can come and go as you please. A selection of toys will be available, and for those new to the joys of kink, instruction will be offered in how to use them. It is also fine for you to attend purely as a witness. The choice is always yours. Ranjana Tantra Love Spirit is an inspiration comes from my own experience in the Tantra Path. Tantra, as you all know, is mostly associated with sexuality, and Sexuality is amazing!!!, nevertheless, Tantra is a vast journey from sex to heart, and from the heart to Superconsciousness. Tantra Love Spirt honours the natural instinct of our sexuality, and passion vitality. The power of creation what building the energy up to open our hearts again and trust, bringing the Spirit of love in our daily life and living the expansion state of a free spirit. Do you have the discipline to be a Passionate-Free-Love Spirit? Session1: Sun and Moon, Breathing The Love Spirit: We are dancing and breathing with totality to evoke the Spirit of The Sun, rooting our energy from the sky to the earth. Following from the gently Moon energy, becoming sensitive to our senses and perceptions... watering our hearts with love and tender healing. Now we are ready to reconnect with a playfulness sensuality and vitality, holding the mirror of love to see and to be seen in a pure consciousness, Sun and Moon are ONE. Opening our body-heart to be a Free Spirit of Self-love. Session 2: The Love Spirit Touch: using our hands and bodies to channel the five elements, we are giving and receiving; earth, water, fire and air love-touched. Asking yourself what is the strongest element in your life, and what element is missing? You will balance the four elements energy in your body-field... feeling the warm hug of the Pachamama (The Earth) and the energetic vitality of Hananpacha (The Blue Sky). Under Nature, all is ONE.

Website Niraj Skilbeck Connect with and come home to yourself by appreciating the natural environment of the spectacular Leela grounds. We will slow down, drop deep inside and attune our senses to what we are usually unaware of in our haste and busyness. In so doing, we discover the joy of feeling at one with the web of life and find a peace and relaxation that can be a true blessing in such a populous event.

5 Finding My Truth In this workshop we tune in to our deeper reality and find out really how close do I want people to be to me? We think we know the answer and act accordingly, but often we override what our body is saying because we aren't listening. Here you will be guided into a heightened state of self awareness through the practice of latihan, a moment by moment emergence of a dance with no input from the mind. From here an interaction activity will reveal your real energetic boundaries with people and enable you to navigate the festival from a much more authentic place. These workshops will be either/or as one is weather dependant. Trance Dance Put on a blindfold and dance! Let yourself be guided by inner sensations, rather than the external motivations that can come in with vision being predominant. No need to perform, to try to look good or to try to do it right. How would you dance if no-one was watching? Free yourself from the tyranny of form and blossom into your own unique felt expression. Devaraj Bioenergetics - trying to project a coherent personality out into the world takes a lot of effort! And a lot of repressing of our natural emotionality. With Bioenergetics we open the body and allow all the old holding patterns to start to move, so that a new, more authentic YOU can start to emerge. Come and be free! Rebirthing - Rebirthing is a breathwork process done lying down on a mattress. I will guide you into a certain breathing pattern where your normal mind state can sit back and you will enter a subtly different state of awareness. Your body will release old, stored-up tensions through natural movements and sound. Cacao Tribal Dance - We evoke the spirit of Cacao through singing and movement and imbibing a dose of the sacred liquid. Relax into the experience, allow the Cacao spirit to enter you and dance you into a state of ecstatic wellbeing. Saying Yes, Saying No - When you feel confident to say No to something, then your Yes comes more naturally too. In this session, guided by Dev and Amura, you will practice saying Yes and No to each other, seeing how it feels, and develop the confidence you need to both protect your boundaries and allow the other in when you feel ready.

Dhyan Yogi and Nama Dhyan Yogi is originally a theoretical astrophysicist. After discovering Osho and Tantra, he directed all his energy and passion of researcher to the inner research, starting his spiritual tantric path and a new life. He studied Tantra and practiced Osho meditations with the master Ma Ananda Sarita at the school Tantra Essence, where he became a Tantra teacher. At the same time, fascinated by the shamanic path, he became Ritual Trance Dance and Soul Hunting Facilitator, learning it directly from one of his creators, Wilbert Alix. He extended his formation with groups on relating and sexuality at Osho Humaniversity, on women and yoni healing with Robert Silber of the Institute for Conscious Sensuality, on shamanism at the International School of Temple Arts, and on Tantra massages in different schools. He also became a certified Tantra Yoga teacher at Shri Kali ashram in India.

7 Today Dhyan Yogi devotes his life to expand consciousness using Tantra, Osho meditations, shamanic rituals, and helping individuals and couples to rediscover their own true being, energy and flow of love. For this he created the school "Conscious Tantra and Shamanism", giving private sessions and facilitating groups in Europe. TANTRA MASSAGE A Tantra Massage is a kind of touching meditation, honoring the whole body-soul system as a temple. You can enter in a no-mind state, flying on the wings of liberated sexual energy in a beautiful journey towards your inner being, your true self. Through conscious loving touch the body can trust, relax, and open to a healthy flow on vital energy. This helps to remove possible stagnations of energy in the chakra system, opening to a balanced emotional fluidity, a fulfilling sexuality, a joyful life. Tantra massage helps to free yourself from social and parental conditionings, shames and feelings of guilt, allowing to fully enjoy your sexual vital energy. I practice different styles of Tantra Massage, with the possibility to choose a specific traditional massage, a chakra balancing, or a combination personalized on you (Open Tantra Massage session). At the beginning of every session we shortly talk and connect with each other to understand what is the best massage for you. As a giver, I am in service and devotion for the receiver, channeling for him/her the cosmic love through my hands. The massage can eventually include also the genitals, with specific Lingam or Yoni Massage. For their own nature, these tantra massages are very pleasant and deep experiences, that can bring new awareness in your sexual and daily life. They have a strong healing power for every disbalance in chakras, for any kind of sexual disfunction, and have a deep effect of your personal and spiritual growing evolution and transformation. The session is for both singles and couples. For couples I can offer a joint session together with my coteacher. About LINGAM/YONI MASSAGE The massage of genitals in Tantra is important for different reasons. First of all, Tantra honors the whole body as a temple, so every part of it has to be massaged. Second, the genitals are the most evident expressions of male/female polarities, where our sexual energy resides. Massaging them means to honor our being male/female, our natural vital energy. In Tantra sex and spirituality meet, so they are not only the sex center, but the gate to access superconsciousness. SPECIAL FOR COUPLES: Me and my coteacher offer massages for couples, in which you can choose either to receive the massages at the same time from both of us, just staying close and share together the ecstatic energy developed during the session, or to massage each other while we guide you in this intimate sensual journey. It is a beautiful experience that brings new awareness and tools in your relationship. The Tantra Massage session has a typical duration of 1.5 hours. Price: GBP/person, for couples 250 GBP.

8 YONI HEALING A yoni healing session is a special kind of tantra massage devoted to the liberation and empowerment of woman's sexual energy. It is a deep process where the receiver gets in touch with her unconscious patterns, her past, and unpleasant memories (sometimes even psychologically removed), mainly linked to sexuality. Any kind of negative experiences can bring consequences to the sexual life and are stored in the body, especially in the genital area (first and second chakra for women). The essence of the session is first of all "presence". I am fully present, in service and devotion to the woman, to her divine Shakti nature. She drives the session, I facilitate her to be present and in contact with her inner being, so that she will express through her body what she needs for the healing. Memories are stored in the body, and especially the yoni is a very sensitive part, where the woman records and stores past experiences, easily creating stagnations of energy in some specific points. A special massage technique in full presence ("Yoni Mapping") localizes these points and helps to free the stuck energy and the linked emotions. This is a deeply liberating and conscious process, since you can live again the past experiences with loving support, so removing the emotional excess and bringing awaress to them. The massage is extended to the full body, and the yoni can be massaged bith externally and internally, according to the receiver needs and boundaries. This session is indicated not only for women who had some negative sexual experiences (like abuses) in theis lifes, but to every woman, because the beautiful emotional female sensitivity is very receptive towards any events, so that in general everyone has some energy stuck in the yoni area, that needs to be liberated and in a broad-sense "healed". The best would be to have periodically such a kind of sessions, to avoid to accumulate negative energies that with time can even bring to sexual numbness or disfunctional behaviours. The Yoni Healing session has a duration of 1.5 hours or more. Price: 90 GBP/hour. TANTRA COACHING ON SEXUALITY, RELATIONSHIP AND SPIRITUALITY Since Tantra is related to both sexuality and spirituality, it can naturally bring harmony and joy in personal life and in relationships. I offer coaching for singles and couples, to help to bring awareness in every aspect of life. Many times we have unconscious behaviours that are just automatic reactions to painful past experiences, without any foundations in the present moment, but our protection system activates and we react out of fear and survival instinct. Bringing awareness to these hidden patterns helps to remove impediments to happiness and joy, to let our vital energy flow naturally and spontaneously, to empower ourselves to live an ecstatic life. The session gives you practical tools to use in everyday life, in order to improve your sexuality, relationships, balance, and spiritual path. The Coaching session has the duration of 1 hour. Price: 50 GBP.

9 Nama Devi is a masseuse, yoga teacher and healer. She has several years of experience in different kinds of massages, recently focusing on tantra. Nama is a certified Tantra Yoga teacher from the Shri Kali ashram in India. She started her spiritual path with the energetic works of Reiki and Theta Healing, together with shamanic practices and rituals. Then, attracted by the research of conscious spirituality, she discovered the master Osho, became a sannyasin, and started the tantric path learning from his disciple Ma Ananda Sarita, and from the school "Conscious Tantra and Shamanism", where she is now member. Traveling around Europe, she expanded her formation with the teachings of John Hawken. With the intention to deepen her spiritual path, she learned Vipassana meditation at the Wat Ram Poeng temple in Thailand. Today she fully and passionately devotes her life to the conscious spiritual path, giving private sessions and co-facilitating groups in Europe, to help individuals and couples to find harmony and joy.

Jonny Baker Jonny Baker discovered meditation and Buddhism in the late 1970s and was living in a residential Buddhist community at the age of 17. He has spent most of his life exploring ways to a deep and lasting happiness, primarily different forms of Buddhism and meditation, but also training for several years with Shamanic healers from Mexico and Canada. He was an ordained Buddhist for a number of years and taught as part of a Buddhist community, and then had a long period of focusing on inner work and healing. He currently shares the different approaches he finds helpful, in the UK, India and Thailand. Underlying his approach is the perspective that while we all need guides of varying kinds, the age of the guru is coming to an end. The two workshops will be a practical exploration of self and other through awareness. Inner freedom Finding ways to reveal a deeper understanding and experience of ourselves, how to let go of difficult emotions and patterns of habitual thinking, through using highly effective and practical meditations and awareness exercises Exploring non-dual awareness An exploration of self and other through profoundly effective meditations and exercises which reveal non-dual awareness, identifying the false boundaries we create between ourselves and the world we inhabit.

11 Chunk August Sofia Sundari Sofia Sundari is an international Tantra teacher, an author, a thought leader, the founder of the Priestess School and a facilitator of courses on Tantric & Taoist sexuality. Sofia invites her students to question beliefs that are deeply ingrained in society that block us from experiencing all of Life and being free. These are beliefs about the nature of our sexuality, emotions, relationships and Life in general. This is what most of us believe Life and sexuality should be. She offers an alternative to confused mindsets and habits and empowers people to align with their Spirit and expand into erotic freedom. Sofia creates a space in which our darkness is no longer shameful, but where it actually nourishes our light, where spirituality and sexuality are one. info@sofiasundari.com Session 1: Eternal lovemaking of Shiva and Shakti Come to explore various expressions of your feminine side and real essence of your masculine side. It will be fun, juicy, intense. And also, it will be nothing. Session 2: Liberation into Orgasm Powerful practice to activate our life force, our innate erotic innocence and discover yourself as the source of your power and pleasure. Evening workshop - Sensual Temple Night A beautiful evening of deep connection and intimacy. Come and find yourself in a safe environment for authentic vulnerable expression of love, whichever form it may want to take.

12 Mateo Tabatabai My work is a direct extension of what I am and what I live. It can take many different forms, depending on the person or group I am working with, and what is needed in any given situation. There can be deep healings, dissolution of core patterns and woundings, as well as openings to deeper and higher levels of Reality. The common thread in the work I offer is always the love of Truth, and of connecting with the knowing within our Hearts. mateo@mateotabatabai.com The two sessions: An invitation to open to Divine Love, to feel, and to receive that which is always already here... Martin Jelfs I have worked as a body and energy psychotherapist for over 30 years and been teaching tantra for about 25 years. In 1998 I started Transcendence to run workshops in Authentic Tantra-Yoga. I have a passion for teaching about the connection of modern tantra with the ancient traditional understandings of tantra and have visited India several times. I am also developing the many methods of tantra and tantric massage to connect with therapy and healing, particularly around sexuality and the body m.jelfs@zen.co.uk

She is particularly interested in ritual and the potential in the physical and visible to take us beyond. She enjoys the Edge and loves exploring her own and others. Sessions Aural Sex This will be a sexy evening space using our senses, and sometimes the depravation of our senses, to lead us deeper into our experience of the erotic. The intent of the evening is to take people quickly into a strong awareness of their energetic reality by removing many of the distractions of our every day. The communication constraints are intended to highten erotic tension, as well as increasing mindfulness around consent and the playfulness and innocence of trying to communicate without words, which often leads to hilarious gesticulations - a la tantric charades. The session will be limited to 30 people and you will need to sign up before supper. As you enter the space every other person will receive a blindfold. Those with blindfold will then take blankets and cushions and create individual nests before putting their blindfolds on. Those without blindfolds will form a circle in the middle of the room. Those without blindfolds will then be invited to make verbal offers ( would you like me to stroke your hair?) and statements of desire ( I would love to touch your legs ) to those who are blindfolded, they will be encouraged to make offers which awaken their senses and the senses of the other, as erotic or platonic as they choose. The person blindfolded will be encouraged to thank them, and say either yes please or is there something else? A bell will sound every 5 minutes and the participants will be invited to close each meeting when they hear the bell, with the possibility to return, but not immediately. This part of the evening will last for half an hour. At the end of the last meeting the person who has been blindfolded will offer it to the one who has not. The second group will then put on the blindfolds, and the ones now without blindfolds will make offers and statements. This time those blindfolded are welcome to either stay still or to move around the space. Again the bell will invite that each meeting last for no more than 5 minutes.

14 At the end of the second half hour the blindfolds will come off and the invitation from now on will be to make only visual or physically expressed offers. Words will be reserved only for the expression of boundaries. Offers may be written or drawn as well as negotiated through touch and eye contact. At this point interactions can continue to be one to one, or can be in groups of more than 2, people are invited to move fluidly following there own desires and they will not hear the singing bowl again until the end of the evening. For the first 15 minutes there will be a group boundary of no genital touch. And for the first hour there will be a group boundary of no penetration of any kind. There will be no group boundaries in the last hour but the space will continue to be held. At the end of the third hour everyone will be invited into a circle and to share one word expressing how they feel in that moment. This, for most people, will be the first word they ve spoken in 2 hours of intense sensory experience. Threesomes for World Peace Picture the scene. You're finally getting passionate with the person (or persons) you ve been flirting with for the whole festival, this is the moment, this is everything you ve been waiting for except, it isn t.. you re not sure if they re enjoying it, you re actually not even sure that you re enjoying it. In fact you re so worried about whether they re enjoying it that you can actually barely feel their longed for touch on your body and the sad thing is, they re the same. So, how to make it more pleasurable, how to let go and just enjoy the sensations exploding all over your body? Well, you could add another person. That could either totally mess things up or get your brain so confused that it has no choice but to loosen up and enjoy. But it s a risk! Whether you are in a relationship, looking for one to one connections, or hoping for the biggest orgy ever this festival, this workshop will give you the tools to tune into your own desire, without compromising your sensitivity to the desires of your partner or partners. A seemly illusive, but actually very simple life skill, which will infinitely expand the pleasure you experience in your sexual connections, as well as in your relationships with others, your satisfaction with your life, and your capacity to create the world as you long for it to be. This will be an experiential workshop combining movement with communication and touch structures.

15 Andrew Barnes Heart Centred Sexuality An essential element in evolving to the next level of consciousness as a species, is creating a heart centred sexuality. With a heart centred sexuality, our sexual energy motivates our heart to take action, and bring more love into the world, and our heart sweetly guides our sexuality. Imagine a world like this... Tantric Full Body Energy Orgasm We are more than just our body, and our sexuality can be sublimated into a creative life force energy. Let s raise our vibration our explore our sexual energy in meditation to expand consciousness. Cacao Orgastic Breath Dance Meditation Chocolate, music, dance, meditation, sexual energy, and celebration, need I say more... Buster Jonas Radvik & Rachel Rickards Buster s dharma is being by example and leading with integrity. He literally wears his heart on his sleeve and has a reputation for pleasantly shocking an entire room with his candid emotional awareness and ability to reveal himself, transparently, no matter how awkward and messy it might look. His warm, open style gives permission for people to come home to themselves, embodied in an ecstatic atmosphere of vulnerability. Buster is an expert at gently guiding people into their bodies, through the shadow work, landing them safely into their heart, where vulnerable transparency is accessible and emotional intimacy becomes transformational. Embodied Intimacy: Belly2Belly This workshop will focus on generating intimacy, emotional openness, & physical bonding in a safe, slow, guided non-sexual way. We will use a deceptively simple process designed to dissolve the experience of separate self into rhythmic waves of sensation shared with a partner in real time. Reawaken your primal need for human connection without the stress or uncertainty of sex or romantic entanglement. By trusting our bodies and each other, we reclaim our original innocence... and remember we are safe to open to explore the beauty of true intimacy.

16 Embodied Intimacy: Morning Intimacy Roll out of bed and into the arms of intimate connection. In this simple, yet profound morning practice we will use breath, sound and touch to melt the walls of aloneness and begin this new day with a healthy dose of oxytocin. As a result of starting your day by fueling up on connection, you will notice a natural shift back into the festival from a place of abundance and ease. A new world of possibility opens up when we slow down enough to move at the speed of love. From this space of inner and outer connection we learn how to live from the wisdom of our heart, instead of the worry of our minds. Embodied Intimacy: Playtime with Booster (the dance event on WED eve) Drop into your body, enjoy great dance music and silly social games. Meet and interact with others that are grooving on the love vibe. Leave sweaty, hugged up, and feeling a rarified buzz and ecstatic afterglow.

This is the path of two people standing in power relating with what is true in every moment in presence, mindfulness, understanding and curiosity.

Learn how to set up your romantic partnership so that it becomes the spiritual container that will lead to more love, freedom and growth in your relationship and your life.
