Tantric Tribes comes to the New York metro area! Spend three days of fall color, rejuvenating and reawakening. The fusion of the powerful and complementary practices of Tantra and Yoga allows you to harness your sexual drive and awaken your Kundalini energy. Once harnessed, this energy is channeled into a dynamic and healing force in your life. The practice of Tantra alone is a very energizing experience, but blending the benefits and principles of yoga with tantra sexual practices transforms all aspects of your life. "THANK YOU for providing us such a powerful, deeply meaningful experience! " - Larry, Atlanta, GA In this workshop, you learn the basics of yoga and breathing practices. Using a step by step, practical approach, you integrate the essential elements of Tantric sexual techniques. Channeling your erotic energy helps unlock your creativity, transforming your sexual experiences and significantly altering all other aspects of your life. There will plenty of "down time" just to relax and connect with the others in the group. Participants work with themselves, with the group as a whole, and with randomly chosen partners. During experiential work, participants conduct personal (and often playful) "experiments" to observe and gain new insights and methods to awaken a deeply satisfying, revolutionary approach to sexual practices. "I wasn't sure what to expect, so I tried to go in open. I think that it surpassed my expectations because I wasn't sure what I was going to get. I ended up with an incredibly powerful experience that touched me. I definitely got more than I had even hoped to get out of it." - Eric, Ft. Lauderdale, FL Join Ray Whetstone in an intensive exploration of the impulses and habits that hold us back, and the powerful energies that will feed our creativity, strengthen our relationships, and connect us to the wider universe. Through naked or nude yoga, meditation, breathing techniques, and clothes-free experiential exercises, Ray will provide a safe and fun space for individuals to explore and experiment with their erotic energy. Always a trail blazer, Ray Whetstone is the founder of the longest running naked yoga class in the country. He has been featured in local, national and international press for his naked yoga class, in addition to his ordination as an openly gay Elder in the Presbyterian Church and numerous medical mission trips. Ray brings a unique blend of all of these areas of his life to the yoga mat. Having studied many different styles of yoga with a diverse array of teachers, Ray has a creative approach to yoga sequencing. He infuses his classes with meditation, visualization and healing, taking any yoga class beyond the simple challenge of asanas/postures. Ray sees his role not as a yoga teacher but as yoga guide: empowering his students to find their inner voices, inner teachers, and ultimately healing. Men of all shapes and sizes are welcome. No previous yoga or tantra experience is required. Everyone will be able to practice at their own level. "Quality is the word that seems to keep coming back to me as a description of the event-- quality participants; quality coordination; quality eventleadership; and quality outcome. I cannot describe to you the level of positive energy I left the workshop with-- and continue to sustain, even with the incredibly busy "back to reality" week I experienced. Wonderful job Howie & Ray!!!!" - David, Raleigh, NC The Tantric Tribes New York Workshop begins at 5:00pm on Friday, September 10.

It is located on the beautiful Kittatinny Ridge of eastern Pennsylvania near the Delaware Water Gap and the Pocono Mountains region. Their retreats, hospitality, beautiful vistas and sacred ground have blessed and continue to bless countless lives. Kirkridge’s emphasis from the beginning was the integration of contemplation and action for justice, or "Picket and Pray." Those early pilgrims and seekers who came to Kirkridge understood that the life of faith requires not only action to transform the world toward greater shalom, but also the cultivation of a deep spirituality to sustain that compassionate action. The legacy continues today. With a wide variety of programming and a growing constituency of folks from many faith traditions, Kirkridge celebrates their presence as a Christian center with an ecumenical spirit and an inter-faith welcome. We hope to welcome you soon to this sacred space called Kirkridge. |
