Tantra Without Borders helps people deeply realize the nature of consciousness, awaken to their immense potential as cosmic beings and return to love. From our sanctuary Galiana, built with a lot of tenderness between New York and Boston, we are now expanding our life changing workshops all over the world. Tantra Without Borders is a part of the universal movement that serves the evolution of consciousness through love. We are helping the feminine to return to love, and the masculine to reflect it. We are helping the masculine to return to love, and the feminine to reflect it. Once this mutual healing goes into motion, more and more of us are reflecting love, we become one and nobody knows where the movement originates, where it begins, where it ends - there are no borders. Our unique blend of practices is rooted in the hindu and buddhist tantra, as well as in the most efficient techniques of modern psychology. Please read in their own words what people are saying about our programs: "This was my first experience of a tantra group, and despite initial nervousness, a very positive one! The woman who led the group was amazing....an extremely powerful woman with much presence and warmth, who synchronised the energy of the group with perfect timing. I met many lovely heartcentred people, and left the group feeling much enriched for the experience." - Caroline, London "I've been to several classes on Tantra and I've never found such a place where the space felt safe and the practitioners were competent and skilled. This has both. I highly recommend it." - Kellee "Saraswati was a wonder guide and spiritual master. Once our energies coalesced and became sensual we discovered how to please our partners and how to ask and receive pleasure from them through loving massage techniques. My partner who is very new to this art form already asked me to sign up for the next one. He was also surprised at how impactful the bells and gong were." - Debbie Knight "Great event enjoyed every moment. Atmosphere was inviting with a gradual progression of principles and techniques and no pressure whatsoever. Saraswati leads by example and is very much in tune with the needs of all group members and well prepared. The homework is a great review of principles shared and I can't wait to learn more. Hope to see you all soon at future event." - Marc This schedule may occasionally be subject to alteration.

New York City - White Tantric Healing CircleOctober 1, starting 7.30pm, in New York City Galiana - Women's RetreatNovember 26 (evening) through October 28 WorkshopsThis page contains descriptions of the various workshops we offer. Evolution of Consciousness through TantraTantra is one of the most mysterious and revolutionary paths, which takes humans to a new level of consciousness. Tantra is a path for those who are large at heart, who are not afraid to burn the past and rise from the ashes, who are not afraid to be honest, ecstatic, transparent, and loving. Tantra is a path for heroes, who are willing to be in their truth and live their life to the fullest. This gathering will include a discourse about tantra, its variety, its roots, we will discuss how tantra is connected with eastern and western spiritual practices. We will talk about hindu tantra, tantra yoga, tantric buddhism, tantra as tought by Osho, white tantra as taught by Yogi Bhajan, and neo-tantra as taught by different western teachers. I will share with you how tantra is practiced and perceived in the modern world, including the Americas, Europe, India and even Russia. I will talk about my approach and hopefully many questions will be answered. During this interactive and super pleasant evening you will also do some practice and awaken your astral energies through tantric meditation, breathing, sound and movement. If you have not been exposed to tantra before, this is a very nice way to be introduced to the practice. You will discover new ways to connect with your own nature and with the nature around you. We will journey together, reminding your body that it is liquid and your mind that it is cosmic. All the practices during this gathering are done without gender polarity, and without any physical contact. You can come in any kind of clothing and you do not need a partner. If you have been with us before or if you are new to this work, you will greatly benefit from this evening. White Tantric Healing CircleI would like to invite you to awaken your light body and become a channel of pure love during our next community event - White Tantric Healing Circle. The white color symbolizes the purity of consciousness, connection to the source, balance and unity of all colors. The circle is a structure in which we all come together, as one, the energy is evenly spread; it is a place to see and be seen, to speak and be heard, to touch upon the souls of others and be touched by their presence. Tantra is a precious gift from the East, which has been traditionally transmitted as a combination of passion and purity. The passion component has been readily embraced in the West, while the purity component has been often overlooked. Purity of intent, warm heart and splendor of a purified energy body are the foundation of authentic sacred practice of tantra. In my spiritual journey all over the world it became clear to me how important it is to prepare practitioners for the freedom that tantra brings. There is a global need for awareness to consider on-going white tantric work as a preliminary for spiritual practice which includes sexual alchemy. We need to create a a solid foundation before we come into more intimate contact with each other, learning how to transform our emotions into wisdom, judgement into acceptance, attachment into unconditional love. During the White Tantric Healing circles we will work on: We will be using a series of tantra tools including: silent, guided and active meditation, kundalini yoga kriyas, various types of therapeutic exercises, breathwork, partner yoga, energy and paratan healing, chanting, yoga of touch, emotional release techniques, dancing, ritual and sharing. As you come to the circles, you will start feeling an on-going ecstatic connection between your body, your mind and your soul, which will radiate in every aspect of your life. It is a rare opportunity to explore this powerful tantra methods in a highly supportive environment. Sources (Vigyan Bhairav Tantra, ....) This is a community event, which we are planning to repeat as regular practice to maintain the blazing of your inner fire which purifies the soul. The time you spend on spiritual practice is the only time which would have a long lasting effect on your being in your awakened state, in your dreams, and as tantric believe in your other lives to come. Divine Passion CircleI would like to invite you to the most joyful form of practice - unique and unforgettable Divine Passion Circle. Divine Passion Circle is a celebration of human consciousness and our incarnation as women and men on this beautiful planet. We will be opening up to this energy together, inviting the force of father heaven and mother earth, knocking on kundalini’s door and celebrating our beings through a set of exceptional tantric meditations, which are truly a gift to humanity. The dynamics inside the group will include various types of tantric meditations, tantra yoga partner practice, therapeutic exercises, dance, sharing, massage, emotional release, ritual and energy work. Kali Ma Transformation CircleGround Breaking Tantric Ritual Everything is impermanent and constantly moving- Come and bring your fire, your love and your pain into our passionate practice circle. Celebrate the cycles of life: beginning, culmination and the end of every process. Autumn leaves are beautiful and rotten, old wine is deep and delicious, mature yoni is ripe and simmered. There is a stunning beauty to all at every step in every shape, learn to enjoy it and you will know no fear. Ancient crazy tantrikas practiced on cremation grounds and slept surrounded by their dogs, to train themselves to be turned on to life in any environment, to accept and celebrate whatever Kali (Time) brings. Celebrate our separation into men and women, our differences and even our misunderstanding, Celebrate our Joy but also celebrate our Pain, because she is our biggest teacher and the greatest vehicle for evolution. Celebrate Kali, the Time, the vast one and the cruel one, the one that gives us birth and then Celebrate impermanence, as it is a perfect part of the perfect whole. The nature of our world is impermanence, everchanging dance of particles. Embrace the impermanence instead of fighting it, and then forgiveness, love and understanding will come to you towards yourself, your friends, you lovers, your parents and Kali herself. Come and Open the Skies With Us. Celebrate the dark mother and the cycles of life: beginning, culmination and the end of every process. Celebrate our joy but also celebrate our pain, because she is our biggest teacher and the greatest vehicle for evolution. Celebrate Kali Ma, the mother of time, the vast one and the cruel one, the one that gives us birth and then destroys us, the one that gives us love and takes it back, the one that brings us constant change and constant challenge.

The atmosphere was "Part tantra yoga workshop, part alternative interactive theater, From Woman to Goddess - Opening to LoveUnveil your deepest essence and discover your true quest, your wisdom, wildness and beauty. In this gathering you will learn how to use yoga and other ancient practices to transcend habits of physical and emotional closure, how to open up to new opportunities and attract the right kind of energy into your life. You will receive daily practice instructions for 21 days, which will firmly situate you on the path from Woman to Goddess, the path of rediscovering your femininity and your strength, the path that will bring you to the place you yearn. When we practice together our power multiplies. Being a part of this ongoing, interactive women's circle will help you find greater meaning and deepen your commitment to the Goddess and to life itself. The time is now. Discovering OnenessWe are one, and everything is connected. This is one of the most important tantric principles which we use in our approach. It is easy to observe how contagious the energy is, how contagious are the rhythms, the intonations, the thought forms. If you have ever done monkey-chant and were total you will know how thought form spread themselves all over the world, you will know how parliament works, and how hypnosis works - you will never think of yourself the same. You can tap anywhere from anywhere. The search for true love is the search for our original oneness. When you achieve oneness with a partner, divine intervention becomes obvious - love heals every place in the body and in the soul - little by little, bringing partners back to their original brightness. When love is spilling over oneness with all becomes a natural state, making you strong, lively, radiant and ecstatic. When you share space, words, food, music, clothes, jokes, bed and bath with another being - your personalities merge. A new entity is created: a couple. What does it take for a couple to achieve oneness: true intimacy, transparency, freshness, penetrate all aspects of life with growing sexual attraction and admiration of each other’s wildfire? Tantra teaches us how to:
We will be learning how to get in sync with each other, how to spark each other, how to keep the fire alive, how to communicate – through words, through touch, through eyes, through sheer intent. We will dive deep into the idea of intimacy and Soul mates, so important to many of us and learn what tantra has to offer in that realm. You will be reminding the body of love through energy transmission, touch and sound. You will learn how to reach your high notes of ecstasy, how to release whatever has been stored in the cell memory in order to sing all of your emotions clearly, with every cell of your being. This practice offers unique meditations, therapeutic exercises, massage skills, emotional release and energy work including "passion pump" techniques, breathing techniques, inner mastery, freeing female sexuality and celebration of the exhilarated union. Magnetism of Feminine and MasculineThis weekend workshop is the second in the series of Seven String Tantra. It is open for pracitioners who have attended previous meet ups. We will be awakening our second chakra, the seat of passion, creating an effortless state of being where one is perpetually refreshed and renewed, caressed by the flow of living energy. Core feminine meets absolute masculine, going beyond the veil of separation into One Self. Inviting one-another to lift old patterns and travel towards the deepest truth of being. Serving as mirrors of love for each other, this is the essence of this weekend workshop. You will make profound connections with other practitioners, which will serve as a solid foundation for the ongoing pracice this year. Based on the acient tantra yoga practice and pioneering work of modern research, used in an ongoing way, Seven String Tantra is an amazing process that gently, yet powerfully, facilitates deep, lasting personal change. The Alchemy of Passion and TransformationTantra offers a rapid path to enlightenment, working with a combination of methods that we can take into daily life to consciously heal and evolve ourselves. Tantra is the ultimate alchemical tool, it can transform anything into the golden nectar of existence, and it is perhaps unique amongst spiritual methods in being a lot of fun along the way. Join our Tantric circle to celebrate Divine Passion, the invigorating and inspiring energy of nature. Divine Passion for the immortality of creation is constantly moving us toward maximization of our potential through the union with the opposite. When you feel exalted pleasure, sacred tremor, bubbles of champagne going through your blood, bursts of joy, laughter and tears – it is the Divine Passion in its splendor increasing the voltage of its current, running wild and raw through your being. We will be opening up to this energy together, raising the forces of heaven and earth, knocking on Kundalini’s door and celebrating our beings through a set of exceptional Tantric meditations that are truly a gift to humanity. The weekend will also include other methods such as therapeutic exercises, ayurvedic principles, massage, dance, sharing, emotional release, ritual and energy work. The group will close with a Tantric Puja ritual – an exquisitely beautiful circle of tantrikas working together. You will also receive homework to start or expand your individual Tantra practice. You do NOT need to bring a partner. Although this is advertised as a singles group, couples may of course attend together and they can choose whether to work with their partner or to mix with the wider group. The group is suitable for both beginners and experienced tantra practitioners, and will be gender-balanced to support partner work. Please let us know, when booking, what previous Tantra experience (if any) you might have. No explicit sexual activity or nudity takes place during these events. Sexual Healing, Calling on Medicine BuddhaIt is my pleasure to invite you to this long awaited workshop on sexual healing. Empowered by the scriptures of Medicine Buddha* we will embark on a journey of healing and hope, trust and boundless compassion, a journey which will bring tears of joy into your eyes, ultimately giving you love and acceptance, that you deserve so much. Nobody taught us how to love, how to make love, how to protect, develop and cultivate our inner lover, how to provide nourishment for each others' sexual energy, how to help ourselves and our partners expand into our full sexual potential. More and more people are now starting to understand the fundamental need and urgency of sexual healing process. How many relationships could be endlessly fulfilling, if we only knew how to spark desire, satisfy ourselves, our partners, bring them to blissful states, help them heal from past conditioning and co-create amazing journeys together in full trust toward each other and towards nature... Every sexual experience is recorded into the memory of our "sex body". Some parts of the body get frozen, protecting innermost tenderness, waiting to feel safe, understood, admired, waiting to blossom again. The workshop will be a combination of theory, demos and practice. We will be unveiling the treasure of sexual healing practices based on the techniques of tantra yoga, bio energetics and sexual grounding. We will set a foundation for the path of sexual awakening for the next year, including individual and couple's home practice. As an advocate of integral approach, I will also talk about other resources that can be used to promote your sexual vibrancy. I will give an overview of ayurvedic remedies to increase sexual energy, virility and provide rejuvenation. Ayurveda is a 5,000 year old indian medicine science, which has a tremendous insight into human longevity and sexual potential. I went to Puna University in India to find the best that Ayurveda has to offer in this area from the source - it will be my pleasure to share this incredible knowledge with you. I asked myself in my quest: With each breath, during our time together we will be illuminating every cell in the entire body, healing past trauma, opening up to the new possibilities to feel, relax and enjoy our incarnation as a man or a woman. We will be reawakening the deepest fire within, calling upon the spirit and bringing you back into your power, into your joy, into the miracle of your sexual fulfillment, which is your birthright time and time again. Who should take this workshop?
Saraswati Puja PartyYour voice reveals every aspect of your existence. Tantrika can deeply connect to another being ---------- Imagine, how it would feel, I read the description of this puja to my daka friend on the phone, and he said: "Mmmm, this sounds Delicious" Men of Crazy Wisdom - The Secrets of Tantric Buddhism"Stop talking, stop thinking and there is nothing you will not understand" - Sent-ts'an Is there a spiritual song more beautiful, more passionate, more daring and more mysterious than Tantric Buddhism? One thinks of a calm peaceful Buddha with a nice grounded belly when they think of Buddhism. Tantric Buddha is a wrathful Buddha - a hero of transcedental space who is constantly transforming his pride into compassion, burning his self-cherishing, his preconceptions, his projections, his grasping and his fear - on the fire of absolute freedom. He perceives reality so straightforwardly that it is almost frightening to ordinary beings - there is nothing to hold on to. Crazy tantric wisdom, vajrayana does not know curves or bends of this or that, beliefs, ideas, habits. Tantric Buddha is a naked samurai holding a lazer beam of his consciousness instead of a sword cutting off his ego. Beyond good and bad, emptiness and form, pleasure and pain, male and female, samsara and nirvana, transcending duality - he dives through the quanta of the present moment right into eternity. During the presentation we will cover the following:
At which point does tantric energy of absolute truth turn into a usual sexual energy of selfish desire? How far did we go with our ambition and our experiment of tantra? How happy are we, how stable are we, how much clarity do we have? In tantric buddhism to qualify to practice tantra you must have an unbearable compassion for others; saving all sentient being is automatic. It is a prerequisite for a tantric adept. Are we ready? What are the lessons that we have learned on our Daka Dakini path? What are we to do to cut off our attachments, insecurities and fears, what are we to practice? Silence or eternity is permanent, it is real What is this sound? Seven String Retreat Series (US only)This series of retreats is taught in nature in Galiana Retreat setting. During a series of seven intitations will work on re-establishing of our primal connections with the earth, with food, with animals, with water, with the sun - realizing our nature deeper and deeper, and our intrinsic connection to all there is. Becoming aware of the affects of the environment - air, water, weather, food, thoughts, literature, television, other people's thoughtforms. Gradually you will become more aware of what your being needs to flower, and what specifically in your environment is not helpful. You will learn to live from subconsious mind, and read what it is telling you through the body, through dreams, through other signs. Each retreat in the series is dedicated to one of the chakras. Many karmic issues and painful cell memories are blocking our energy channels and precluding us from being fully alive. The "junctions" of these energy channels are called chakras. As we go through a process of chakra clearing, sometimes it will be necessary to sink into the darkness and dig into your fear in order to cleanse and release it. Sometimes, a certain catharsis might be needed to dispose of a destructive program. Negative karmic issues, parental messages and undigested life experiences will gradually see the light, self extract and fade away as you learn how to interact with others in a new way of trust, support and non-judgement. Layers and layers of frozen painful memories will gradually peel off, revealing the radiant splendor of your heart and original ability to love. Teacher Training program is offered to the graduates of this series of retreats. What to Expect from a Workshop"This Yoga is only for the insane" As a part of your practice you and all of your inner voices commit to heal your own and your partners wounds from childhood and from your past relationships. You become mother, father, brother and sister to yourself, your partner and other people n the group. There is only one god in tantra, it is consciousness. Everything happens in consciousness, your being, your perception, your relatives, your friends, your fiends, your work, your city, all of it happens in your consciousness, and everything is consciousness. Loving it all, accepting it all, good thoughts and bad thoughts, and dancing through the web of it all with grace, kissing the earth with your feet is tantra. Believe in the original purity of consciousness in tantra is equivalent to faith. You will breathe together as a group, synchronizing the moments of faith in the original purity of consciousness. The moment of faith happens after your breathe out before you breathe in. This is the moment, when unconsciously you are sure that the next breath will be provided. Why are you so sure of that? What if the next breath never comes? You believe that it is coming, right now, as you are reading this words, you believe that you are going to get the next breath. That is the moment of faith, which is taken for granted like many other things. You can make your own list of things that you take for granted: being able to see, to move, to sense pain, to differentiate shapes and colors, to remember, to forget, to laugh, to cry. All those things human beings have easily available to their consciousness, all those things, in which Shiva principle, the divine resides. Make a list and sense each of them, pause at each of them consciously, say "thank you", and intensify the interaction, the enjoyment, the contact with each of them. Clear up the mucus in perception that you have been accumulating since childhood ? make the contact with the world pristine, fresh. Learn to see things NEW moment to moment, making a train out of moments: one moment more exciting than another. Make a commitment to generate the sparkling flow of perception at each moment of your existence as you know it. Make a commitment to penetrate Shakti principle, the creation, with the bright light of your consciousness. Remember how it felt to look at new, big, unknown things when you were a child, and live it now in a slow, deep embrace with reality full of awe and tremor, and more than anything - full of love. Galiana Retreat (Berkshire Mountains/Upstate New York)Galiana Retreat is a community project dedicated to all kindered spirits in the name of light. Galiana is a sanctuary, which is located on the border of Upstate New York and Berkshire Mountains. The land which is shaped like a womb is surrounded by a mountain stream and conservation land. Creation of this sanctuary has been in our dreams since our childhood, when we read a book about spanish king Alfonso 8 who fell in love with a jewish goddess Rahil. He built a palace for her, which had streams, fountains and gardens. She was a highly educated and spiritual woman, who had a vision of an interfaith sanctuary as early as in the Medieval Times. She spoke many ancient languages, and in every language she wrote inscription of ancient wisdom on the walls and doorsteps of the palace. The inscription that we adopted and swear by is "Alafia, peace to the one who enters". Rahil has created such a magical place where the trees were whispering of tenderness, and the waters were singing of love, that the king did not want to go to war any more. The only thing he wanted was to stay with his beloved in this place of love, healing and rest. We feel that in the days when sacred feminine is making itself heard, it is not necessary to be the lover of the king to build a place like that. It is a place which is passed to us from our grandmothers, and will be passed by us to our daughters. We build it ourselves, with the help of our luminous community. We also feel that the role of the feminine in the world right now is to create healing places inside of the man's heart, so that he did not want to go to war any more, where it is with himself of with others. We are planning to build a goddess temple, a pool, a sauna and ayurvedic treatment facility and ayurvedic garden along with the sacred circle space and studio spaces for workshops and dancing. We are opening the retreat for the workshops which serve the evolution of consciousness. The style of the place combines indian, buddhist and south american motifs. Everything is carefully chosen and prepared with a lot of wisdom and love. There is a place for everybody here who would like to be of service to humanity. We welcome you, the one who enters. Testimonials
"I've been to several classes on Tantra and I've never found such a place where the space felt safe and the practitioners were competent and skilled. This has both. I highly recommend it." - Kellee " Overall impression : Very encouraging! I feel extremely happy about myself for signing up up for this meetup and also for taking the time & effort drive all the way from Hartford, CT. Later that night when I did my 2 1/2 hours drive to hartford, surprisingly I didn't not complain/whine/frown about my late nite drive... For most part I am a calm and positive peson... However, I did feel more peaceful and more accepting of myself and others... More surprisingly, I continued to feel that way, *even* when my car got towed for parking... I calmly and peacefully looked into the eyes (as Saraswati said, the left) of the person who was charging my credit card thinking to myself "Thank god, atleast the car was not stolen... Life could have been worse!" " - Sakthi " I really enjoy Saraswati's perspective and her way of speaking about Tantra. There is an authentic mind-body-soul exemplified in her sharing and her being... I am not brand new to tantra, but I learned a lot and my experience was freeing, powerful, and very fun. I was partnered with someone new to tantra and I believe the space that Saraswati created allowed both of us to be very present with each other and have a deep experience. " - Tully " This was an energizing, exciting experience. The mix of inexperienced and experienced attendees was a positive aspect. " - Michael " Amazing! This was a great Meetup, not your usual workshop. A lot was covered in about two and a half hours. Right from the start I knew this was going to be something special. Music, dance, meditation, breathing exercises. This was gender balanced well and there were a few exercises to practice with a partner and a small group. Couples are welcome but most were single. I think everyone had a great time. This was well organized. There were several facilitators who made the Meetup run smoothly. " - Complexcarb " It was heavenly!!! Saraswati and Ron did a fantastic job opening the door of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding a hair more with the Kudalini slideshow presentation and yoga exercises. The exercises Ron led were very powerful and relaxing at same time. Wooooo!!!, how do you do that!!! I drove home feeling alert and refreshed as if it were the middle of the day and eager to try the exercises on my own. I also loved the energy flow during the circle mediations channeling energy between partners and sharing feelings is a great way to end the session. Thanks again for a most memorable experience. " - Marc " This was very gentle and yet deep healing experience. The group was fantastic, very honest and open. By the time we finished everybody looked absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this space." - Tantrika " It was wonderful learning experience. Luba is great teacher. All the attendees were nice people. It was really enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend it! " - Neel " White Tantra Healing Circle nurtures and opens the heart " - Jessi " Luba is amazing. The energy was explosive and the ego was no where to be found. I'm glad I could rest and share my blank happiness with everyone there. :) " - Arnie " Healing and Rejuvenating " - Balaji Tantra Without BordersTantra Without Borders helps people deeply realize the nature of consciousness, awaken to their immense potential as cosmic beings and return to love. From our sanctuary, built with a lot of tenderness between New York and Boston, we are now expanding our life changing workshops all over the world. Tantra Without Borders is a part of the universal movement that serves the evolution of consciousness through love. We are helping the feminine to return to love, and the masculine to reflect it. We are helping the masculine to return to love, and the feminine to reflect it. Once this mutual healing goes into motion, more and more of us are reflecting love, we become one and nobody knows where the movement originates, where it begins, where it ends - there are no borders. Representing multitudes of worlds, we meet on the physical plane, as beautifully designed human beings. We are gifted with so many senses: at any point in time we can enjoy the brightness of the day, the sweetness of the heart, the freshness of the water... We can create new universes of color and structure, we can give birth to new beings, new unique universes. Through our eyes, our voice, our touch we can understand each other and sometimes merge with each other in total trust and ecstasy. It is all ours already. Once the suffering and self judgement is removed from our bodies, we become strong and vibrant, able to speak, walk and live our truth. And our truth is glorious, it is the divinity itself. Our practice is based on the universal and also tantric principles of compassion, interconnectedness, constant movement and union of the opposites. In the process of practice we tune our ability to surrender to the flow and our ability to be fully conscious, we tune our feminine and our masculine. Feminine: Flow, love, warmth, vibrational body, warm hands, creativity, softness, movement, play, laughter, tears, energy. Masculine: Centered, neutral, grounded, rooted, balanced, sharp, calm, indestructible, lucid, focused. As we fully accept, understand and forgive our feminine and masculine we can start loving out of generosity of the heart rather than out of our own need for love. We become truly present to what is, strong, sensitive and loving, and then we live our lives in brightness, timeless, transpersonal connection and selfless service. Your persona will become less important, as your state of harmony increases and you will be able to focus on the wellbeing of the others, not at your own expense but because of the abundance and endless source of love and energy that you are plugged into. This is the evolution of consciousness that we are a part of. Raising in love, and radiating this light for others is a path of Bodhisattva. Our unique blend of practices is rooted in the hindu and buddhist tantra, as well as in the most efficient techniques of modern psychology. Every form of practice we do including kriya, ritual, dance, energy work, singing, touch, breathwork or improvisation is a form of full presence, a form of meditation. Some meditations are still, others are dynamic, some are done independently, others with a partner or in a group. With enormous gratitude we bow to the beings who made and are still making this magical practice possible. We carry the light in our bodies, in our eyes, in our voice, in our words as we come back to our families, friends and co-workers, as we share the love with the ones who are the closest to our hearts. I found myself at the end of one tantric workshop in the trunk of a human tree, surrounded by people hugging me, and all i could feel was their angelic nature. We have it in our palette - as we choose the path of total trust, we can bring this nature out, we can share it, we can enjoy it and we can sustain it with practice. Praying for peace and helping each other ascend, while the toll is ringing. So, you should never ask for whom the toll rings, you know, it is ringing for you.
