Summer update from Tantra North
Dear friends,
I am very happy to be back involved in facilitating tantra workshops. I am delighted to be working with Jon and Elara of Sacred Light Tantra. Our first joint event was the Manchester Tantra Festival "Opening to Love" earlier on in July. We were amazed by the support we received from guest facilitators, massage people, site crew and participants. Thanks to everyone's input, it was a resounding success. Here are some great photos of the event.
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 an Elara have recently acquired the "Pathways Studio", in Salford, Manchester. It is a beautiful body positive, sex positive, space from which we intend to grow a friendly, inclusive, co-operative tantra community. As well my events, they have a programme of tantra, Reiki and Cuddle workshops. The centre is also hosting other guest facilitators this autumn, Seani Love and Alison Pilling.
The Pathway's Studio has a large workshop space and smaller, more intimate workshop/therapy space available for hire for events or individual sessions. The centre is fully accessible and situated close to Media City, Salford with good transport links and free parking.

Beyond Gender
discovering the true nature of masculine and feminine
Presented by Tantra North and guest facilitators
discovering the true nature of masculine and feminine
Presented by Tantra North and guest facilitators
What lies behind the complex relationship between sex and gender that has developed in our society? How does this affect your own gender expression, relationships and self esteem? What is the connection between gender and power? Is their such a thing as a “real” man or woman?
The answers to these questions, and about the true nature of masculine and feminine, can be found in the heart of many spiritual teachings including tantra. Understanding at this level is empowering, liberating and potentially ecstatic.
This series of day workshops takes us on a journey beyond gender identification to discover the essence of masculine and feminine as principles, energies, qualities. Oriental cultures call them yang and yin, in tantra teachings they are named Shiva and Shakti.
This journey takes to a place where we can express fully who we are. To a place where we generate creative, stimulating and pleasurable relationships, both our personal relationships and those beyond.
It gives us a deep level of understanding of the distortions within our society that current debates about gender miss. It gives us access to ways to keep our sexual relationships alive, sexy, and meaningful.
Dates
Friday 28 September Introductory evening
Stand alone session or a taster for those who want to go deeper
Sunday 7 October – Day 1 – Stereotypes of masculinity and femininity
Sunday 4 November – Day 2 – The masculine and the “animus” (inner masculine)

Each session can be taken as a stand alone workshop. For those wishing to progress through the full series the is a discount for block booking.
