What's on in March 2019
Spring celebration
Dear Friends,
As I write this the weather is unseasonably warm. I'm basking in a taste of the summer days to come. No doubt the cycle of the weather will be at a different phase when you read this, however the light, warmth and ecstasy of spring is definitely on its way.
At the Pathways Studio events are flowering. First up in March is A Taste of Tantra, an afternoon session of tantra, on March 10th. This is an opportunity to dive in to a delicious tantric space. It's also an opportunity to find out more about our upcoming Sacred Body, Passionate Spirit tantra training starting later on in 2019.
We are also gearing up for the start of the Transformational Tantra Massage training at the end of April. If this training has got your interest, come along to the Introduction to Transformational Tantra Massage over the weekend March 16-17. I attended the last weekend and found it fun, informative and pleasurable. You will get a lot from the weekend alone even if you don't do the whole training.
We also have guest facilitator, Ceri Buckmaster, who visited last month, running a follow-on Non Violent Communication evening on March 15. You don't need to have come along to the first one to attend. Her work fits closely with tantra. It is an excellent tool to help deepen intimacy and connection in your relationships. Ceri's first session was very popular and well received. I shall certainly be along to learn more.
Looking further ahead, we have settled on the dates for the second Manchester Tantra Festival. This year it is the weekend 29-30th June.
Later this year we have the internationally known Betty Martin who is presenting her wheel of consent work. If you can't make Betty's workshop, Jon and Elara of Sacred Light tantra, have already worked with Betty and already teach her work on the wheel of consent. Click calendar below for dates.
I am co-facilitating or assisting on many of these courses with Jon and Elara of Sacred Light Tantra. Jon, Elara and I have a common background in that we have all worked with John Hawken, one of the original teachers of tantra in the UK and student of Margot Anand, founder of Skydancing Tantra.
Jon and Elara acquired the Pathways Studio, in Salford, Manchester, last year. It is a beautiful body positive, sex positive, space from which we intend to grow a friendly, inclusive, co-operative tantra community. They host a programme of tantra, Reiki, wheel of consent and cuddle workshops. There also is a programme of local and international guest facilitators.
The Pathway's Studio has a large workshop space and smaller, more intimate workshop/therapy space. Both spaces are available for hire for events or workshops. The centre is fully accessible and situated close to Media City, Salford with good transport links and free parking.
