not a training but a discovery and deepening. . .
Tantra for Women is a healing journey back home
“Often, a Woman's Most Natural Way to Meditation is through LOVE”
You will be guided by Ateeka in a very safe and sacred space towards coming home to your and unique female beingness . . . including your body, emotions, heart, creativity and mind. Bringing a tantric practice towards channeling your life and sexual energy and moving into life in an integrated, empowered and sensitive way.
Ancient meditations from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra as well as Inner and Outer Taoist and Tantric practices are combined with modern somatic awareness to guide from the inside out . Discovering new nuances of yourself, your body, your emotions, your very human-ness. The relationship that you cultivate with yourself directly reflects upon the relationships you have with others.
Our tantric meditations can include organic yoga movement, breath-work, dance, safe self-contact and partners massage (fully and partially clothed) , sitting meditation, sacred sound, art and creative expression, ritual and verbal sharing . All of our practices and meditations will lead toward deeper awareness of your inner self and will help you to cultivate trust in the intelligence, power and flow of your own sexual and life energy.
