Conscious Relationships
& Sacred Sexuality
All relationships go through cycles, ups and downs. Some of us cycle through relationship after relationship.
What makes some relationships thrive while others just fade out or descend into pain and conflict?
Ready for Truly Conscious Relating?
Have you ever wondered: - How can a romantic relationship become part of your spiritual path? - How to stop falling into the same patterns of disconnection and instead stay open in the face of difficulty? - How can conflict bring us closer and cultivate deeper trust? - How to maintain the fire of passion in your relationship when it becomes dry and flat? This retreat explores these topics and provides practical tools (techniques, meditations, etc.) for building harmonious and profound relationships. It is an opportunity to understand and overcome limiting patterns. Learn to relax and open into a relationship based on trust and unconditional love.
This Workshop Is A Unique And Powerful Mixture Of:
Spiritual teachings of the Heart
Which guide us towards recognizing our Essence as Love, as one Heart... to act, see, think as Love and, eventually, to dissolve into Love.
Authentic Tantric vision & practices on Love & Sexuality
Which inspire deeper passion through the cultivation of polar energies and transmutation of these energies into sacred union with the Divine.
Psychotherapeutic techniques
Which are practical tools aimed to bring more awareness and healing into our patterns and tendencies which often “destroy” our love relationships.
The workshop does not include any nudity or explicit sexuality.
Singles and couples of any orientation are welcome to join.
However please note that the facilitators are hertrosexual and will primarily use their own lived experience of relationships to relate examples and explain ideas.
Join us in this beautiful and profound journey dedicated to Love, Conscious Relationship, and Sacred Intimacy.
In many spiritual traditions Love is considered to be our deepest Essence and the highest state of Consciousness, while a romantic relationship is seen as one of the hardest but also most direct paths towards awakening and liberation. Indeed, life presents many beautiful opportunities to us, but often we find ourselves lost in our subconscious patterns, mental strategies, and automatic reactions, so we are not able to go deeper and discover our true Essence, beyond all these superficial layers. Tantric spiritual tradition, as well as modern psychotherapy, offer beautiful and powerful tools aiming to bring more awareness and light into these parts of our being. Ultimately in order to truly “marry” our partner we need first “marry” ourselves. So, it is a journey that starts from learning to know, accept and love yourself fully and eventually come in touch with your deepest Essence. That is a solid basis for learning how to remain present in any challenging situation, to behold your dear one, and to be able to recognize his/her true Essence behind the veils. These are the essential conditions where true Love can blossom, where we can help each other in healing the wounds and going beyond boundaries. We pass from neediness and codependence to Openness and Trust, practiced no matter what. We are in a relationship not because there is a sense of lack or the need to fill up an empty hole in us, but because we feel so alive and full that we are longing to share Love and Beauty with another being. Gradually we pass from personal "needy" love to unconditional "generous" love and eventually we recognize Love as our True Nature, dissolving our personal limitations into it. Trust, Presence and Love are the main pillars of a harmonious relationship and we will learn how to cultivate them in our daily life. We will discover the importance of opening the body & heart and practicing Openness no matter what. We will see how the play of polarity can increase passion and bring more aliveness&beauty into the relationship. We will also explore Tantric approach to sexuality, learning how to bring sacredness into lovemaking, how to open ourselves to divine pleasure by relaxing the body, allowing the sexual energy to freely flow in us and deepening the senses. Ultimately, we will see that relationships and sexuality can become a beautiful spiritual path in itself which supports the process of awakening.
“I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God.”
