Description:
Deep down we all long for loving connections and friendships; but often we find it difficult to be to open with the beauty, presence and tenderness we know exists in our self and others. To be able to totally allow this opening is an innate desire in everyone. With trust in this possibility, we invite you to join us on a transformative, awakening journey to support us to break through our blockages and explore our potential as loving and lovable human beings.
The workshop will consist of two parts: a Humaniversity AUM and a Tantric Journey. The processes will combine meditation, breath, dance, communication exercises, bioenergetics, emotional expression and explorations of intimacy shared in a safe and caring environment. We will have an opportunity to expand our boundaries, practice the art of friendship and celebrate who we really are.
Part 1: Humaniversity AUM
(Awareness, Understanding, Meditation):
An Active Social Meditation
What is the AUM Process?
A 2 1/2 hour group meditation and therapeutic process in twelve stages where we explore all shades of our emotional life — such as anger, love, sadness, laughter… — experiencing, expressing and releasing in a protected & safe environment. A fun and intense journey, offering deep cleansing, vast opening and a taste of pure being. The process is quite active and full-on, as we are encouraged to be total with our bodies, our expression and our energy to explore and let go of everything we are unconsciously holding in our systems.
What are the benefits of the AUM?
Lightness, sensitivity, crisp awareness, a profound sense of warmth and relaxation. Like a clear rainbow-crested sky after a thunderstorm. The space allows us to refresh old friendships and create new ones. It is restorative and healing for the body, mind and spirit and gets us in touch with our inner-power and vitality.
As we integrate this experience over time, it starts to become easier to express emotions in a healthy way, resulting in more effective communication skills and a greater sense of personal empowerment. The fear of being with and expressing our feelings diminishes, allowing us the freedom to be more honest with ourselves and others, and to stay present in the moment with whatever is coming up. It is common to feel great joy and gratitude for a sense of having rediscovered our real “selves.”
Part 2: Tantric Journey: Expanding in Awareness
We will then move deeper through a subtle and respectful exploration of our selves in relation to connection and intimacy. We will be using guided Tantric breathing explorations and Osho Tantra meditations alone and with a partner.
The Tantric approach supports our life energy to transcend imposed restrictions so that the energy can express, expand and unify with existence. The tools Tantra offers can also be used to bring awareness and healing to our individual issues of intimacy and openness. This approach can support us to become more conscious of our sexual energy flow, and to recognize how this flow reflects our relationship with ourselves and life as a whole.
The journey will nourish us to become more relaxed with the opening in ourselves and with others, allowing us to feel more self-confidence and self-love, and helping us to remember how easy it is to be rooted in love and awareness when we simply say “Yes” to our life energy, our sexual energy, and our aliveness.
