Our Vision

We believe in the full potential of all humanity to live as sacred embodiments of the highest conscious love, interconnected and balanced with all life. We offer pathways for living this truth by fully aligning the masculine and feminine principles within. We offer transformational maps regarding the interplay between these principles and methods for bringing them into more balance for the collective evolution of human consciousness. We offer practical and powerful tools for developing optimum interpersonal relating between men and women as well as within our own gender and for developing heart centred, nature aligned communities. We seek to interconnect wild nature with human nature. You are welcome to join us in the journey of inner transformation to outer manifestation through love, awareness, nature and spirit.

We'd like to start with some good news

* You have the all the resources within you to live as our full potential.
* You and nature are one and the same thing.
* You are a living embodiment of Divine love, no less than 'God'.
* You are a living miracle and there is nothing 'wrong' with you.

The journey we are inviting you on is simply to turn inward and return to the source of who you truly are, that of Love. We do not need to keep trying harder to be a 'better' person. Have you noticed that however hard we try we never feel that we have arrive at being 'good enough'. There always seems to be 'room for improvement'?
It's impossible to arrive at this planned destination because it's a false one. Most of us have been given the message (however subtly) that there is something fundamentally 'wrong' with us from day one of our lives and we then spend our lives trying to be a better person and never feeling at peace. We want to offer you some good news and that is: We are ALREADY all that we are striving to become, it is simple that we don't recognise ourself. Here is where the journey begins if we choose to take it. . . .

The three levels of Love

1. SELF LOVE - The first level of love
This love is the foundation stone for all other love. Truly accepting every aspects of ourselves, both the ‘dark’ and the ‘light’ is the essential foundation stone for being able to love both ourselves, others and all life. But this is contradictory to what we have be taught. The notion of ‘loving yourself’ in our culture is judged as egotistical or ‘self absorbed’ so we don't give it any value. Instead, we come like beggars to each other or to 'God', trying to get love and acceptance in order to feel good about ourselves, but even if we do we never really relax for very long. We are constantly waiting for the moment that it might be taken away again? This is because we have disconnected from the truth of who we are. We ARE love.The journey is simply to go inwards and become fully present to ourselves with total acceptance and compassion. Then we can reconnect to experiencing the abundant eternal spring of life that is already inside and allow it flow through us. When we do this we become the authority of our lives and life transforms into an interconnected play with all of existence.

"The love for my own self is inseparably connected with the love for any other human beings" Erich Fromm

WE ARE THE LOVE WE'RE SEEKING . . .
When we directly experience ourselves AS love rather than love being an external currency we exchange as a business deal, our daily lives change in a profound and radical way. We touch our limitless potential and our sense of deep understanding to the meaning of our existence, we feel free and empowered, abundant, blissful, and unconditionally loving. This experience then naturally and effortlessly overflows from us and interconnects us to ALL life.

BEGIN WITH THE BODY . . .
Our bodies are an expression of 'God' but in our culture we have been taught that the body is sinful. We have fragmented it and use it as a machine. The body is sacred ground and our direct route to the the source of Love and self realization.

"He who realizes the truth of the body can then come to realize the truth of the universe." Rat Nas

HUMAN NATURE, WILD NATURE . . .
Our body is nature. as well as spirit being alive in us we are also made of the four physical elements, earth, air, fire and water. One of the reasons that in the developed world we have lost touch with our natural environment and use it simply as a commodity for our needs is because we have lost touch with our own bodies. When we re-connect to our body and experience it as sacred ground we also naturally connect more deeply with the natural world we live in. We experience no separation between them. It's then a natural outcome to want to nurture all life for to harm ourselves is to harm all life and visa versa.

2. SHARING LOVE - The second level of love
All life including us as humans is created out of the union of the masculine and the feminine principles. When we speak of the 'masculine' and 'feminine' principles we are not talking about 'men' and 'women'. Rather different 'qualities' of being or energies in us that are inherent in all of us and are needed in balance within us for our full potential to be relaised and for the collective healing of humanity. We believe that the root cause of the current environmental and human crisis situation on Earth is caused by tragic misunderstandings and ignorance in us regarding the relationship between these masculine and feminine principles.
As humans we have become out of balance with these principles and the deepest work every human is being called to do right now is to re-balance the masculine and feminine principles with us. When we directly experience these principles in balance within us we are able to honour the gifts each principle brings. We become re-aligned with the complex web of life and men and women can live in balance and respect with one another. Men can receive strong and supportive brotherhood with other men and women can receive a nourishing, empowering sisterhood with other women.

Today we are being called to carve out new pathways of authentic empowered relating between the masculine and feminine that goes beyond patriarchy and feminism. We need to create communities of people who are willing to support each other beyond the model of isolation and 'every man for himself' attitudes that have been prevalent in our culture. We need to come closer to our 'nature' and hence to the nature we live within.

THE MASCULINE AND FEMININE PRINCIPLES . . .
Each of these principles manifests different qualities and all these qualities are needed in balance within us to realise our full potential both individualy and collectivelly. The qualities of each principles are many but in essence the masculine principle is pure consciousness or emptyness (non-form) and the feminine principle is energy (form). When these 2 principles meet with awareness transformation of dulity in unity happens and we become One Divine Love. Each principles offers us different aspects for fully awakening to the truth of who we are. The masculine principle invites consciousness raising by methods such as meditation, witnessing the mindand developing presence. The feminine principle invites devotion to love, compassion and unconditional love.

3.DIVINE LOVE -The third level of Love
This third level of love naturally happens in us when we embody the first two levels of Love. Then we experience ourselves AS love. We are no longer experiencing ourselves as seperate or in a living in a world of duality, rhater that we experience ourselves as interconnected with all life and realise we are Divine grace.

" . . . Living Love is a path of transforming fear into Love . . . "

4. OFFERING OUR GIFTS TO LIFE
When we are aligned with Love and we have a strong connection with our selves and who we are we can more easily connect with our life's purpose and what we want to offer to the world. Our authority and direction of how to manifest that becomes clear and easy and is powerful gift to others and all life.

What is Tantra?

We would like to explain about Tantra as it has been much misunderstood in the West and we don't want anyone to be put off coming to a workshop because they see Tantra is being offered. We have been practicing Tantra for over 20 years and offering it in our workshops for 15 years. We do this because Tantra offers a very clear map for understanding how the essential masculine and feminine principles work on a universal level and it offers radical methods for personal as well as collective transformation. It offers powerful methods for healing the imbalances between the masculine and the feminine principles that we are experiencing in humanity at the moment. It is a path of devotion to Love. Over many years we have found it to be one of the most effective fast track ways for freeing blocks in relationships and healing the wounds between man and woman. In our experience is goes far beyond western therapy models as it recognizes us as holistic beings existing on all levels, mind, body, heart and spirit.

Tantra has become popular in the West in recent years but the focus is generally on the sexual aspect even though sex is only one aspect of Tantra. This focus on the sex is to be expected due to the hundreds of years of sexual repression that has been happening in our culture and that many of us now are in touch with a longing to have more meaningful sexual/intimate/spiritual relationships. However, Tantra has also been greatly misunderstood in the West. Some common speculations are that it is simply about a certain kind of sex that either involves partaking in extreme acrobatic lovemaking positions and techniques as outlined in books such as the Kama Sutra manual, or that sex must be with incense, candles and cheesy music playing in the background. Or that it is a free-love cult involving orgies and hedonistic erotica, or a new age spiritual sex therapy from California, or that it involves boundaryless sexual exploration and 8 hour orgasms.
It feels important to us to explain how we work with Tantra so hopefully we can minimize any fears or concerns you might have that would prevent you from working with us.

Tantra dates back over 8000 years and originated in India.
Literally translated from Sanskrit Tantra means "The weaving and expansion of energy". The word TAN means 'breath of the soul' and the word TRA means 'moving inwards to the source' In essence it's a journey of re-membering ourselves as divine truth. The two qualities that are being 'weaved' together are the masculine principle of consciousness and the feminine principle of energy. When these two aspects weave together, duality dissolves and we experience ourselves as 'OneLove'. Tantra is a powerful tool that can help humanity to come into better understanding and balance with all of life as it consciously uses the interplay between the masculine and feminine for the transformation of duality.
 

There are different branches of Tantra offering different methods and principles. We offer 'Neo white Tantra' which is influenced by the teachings of the Baul mystics,Vijnanabhairava Tantra as well as other inspiring teachers such as Osho. The teachings in essence is that all life including us is a living vibration of Love and the highest being that of Divine Love. Living Love offers a collection of meditations, practices and activities that are influenced by these teachings and adapted for westerners living in the 21st century. Tantra is rooted in the body and breath and is a down to earth, adventurous approach to living our whole life as devotion to love through awareness. It honours men and women equally (masculine and feminine principles).
Tantra is a mysterious and revolutionary spiritual path which offers humanity a new level of consciousness. Tantra is for those who seek a path of devotion. We all know Tantra from the moment we are born and it has been practiced in many cultures over thousands of years. You need to have the willingness to burn off your pasts beliefs and rise from the ashes into the present moment of the essential you. It challenges you to be honest, ecstatic, transparent and deeply loving. It is a path for adventures of the heart.

What is Tantric Sex?

In Tantra our sexual energy is sacred and is understood as basic creative life force energy. If we where a tree our sexuality is like the roots of the tree. The roots need to be strong and healthy for the rest of the tree to fully flourish. So it is important that our sexuality is released from any energetic blocks such as shame or trauma for the blossoming of the full human potential. Tantra brings deep healing to sexual trauma we may have experiences in our lives and brings us back to wholeness. With awareness and understanding sexual energy can be an experience of divine love. Without awareness and understanding it can create a lot of pain and suffering.

Tantric sex with a partner
Tantra does not say that one type of sex is wrong and another kind right, it's the CONTEXT that it's happening in makes it ‘Tantric sex’ It is a conscious meeting of the masculine and feminine principles within each of us so that we can transcend duality and return to the source of all creation. A way to explain it is like this: Imagine a hot tub filled with hot water and the hot tub itself is the universe and the water it's filled with is Divine Love. As long as the people exploring sexual loving are IN the tub and are connected to the divine love with awareness of themselves whatever 'type’ of sex being explored, it offers the lovers the possibility to transcend duality and become 'OneLove'

AWAKENED LOVE IN THE PRESENT MOMENT
Tantra recognizes that we experience ourselves in two ways, first at the level of our humanity, the story of us, our shaped unique personality. This experience of ourselves existing within linear time, the past and the future. The second level is us as fully conscious divine beings of Love in the present moment. This is beyond linear time and is the truth of who we are.The present moment is eternal and includes all of existence. It offers us liberation from attachment to the ego as it moves us beyond future and past perceptions of reality.
Both our body and breath are naturally and always in the present moment so we use meditations with the body and the breath as ways to help us come in the present moment. Our minds are often trying to take us to thoughts of the future or memories from the past, these thoughts keep us away from experiencing the full potential of ourselves which is instantly available to us in the present moment.
