What is Tantra?
Tantra is an ancient spiritual practice that originated in India thousands of years ago. While it’s often associated with sexuality in the West, Tantra is actually a holistic spiritual practice that encompasses sensory awareness, meditation, yoga, mindfulness, and pleasure.
Tantra is ideal for people who:
- are interested in experiencing more freedom and autonomy in decision making,
- building confidence within the self,
- connection to something greater (be it spiritual or our wiser self),
- want to deepen pleasure and intimacy within relationships (sexual, platonic or business).
These tantric experiences are a personal practice you can practice solo with a partner or a friend.
You do NOT have to have a partner to practice Tantra!
Our immersive workshops, events and sessions are designed to introduce you to the basic principles and practices of Tantra. Whether you’re single, in a relationship, or simply seeking to connect with like-minded individuals, Tantra provides a non-judgmental, fun, and welcoming community to explore energy, sexuality, relationships, spirituality, and connection with yourself and others. We believe you have the divine within you. We believe you are the authority of you and you don’t need anyone or anything to connect you to your own inner wisdom and passion.
Tantra is an inclusive approach to spirituality and sexuality, accessible to everyone regardless of physical ability, religious or cultural background. Tantra emphasizes personal responsibility, choice, and pleasure, allowing individuals to explore their humanness and spiritual path in their own unique way. Moreover, Tantra enhances intimate relationships by improving communication, deepening emotional connections, and fostering trust and intimacy between partners.
Tantra can help with relaxation, reducing anxiety and worry.
Why is it so hard to relax?
Why does recreation feel like work?
Relaxation and re-creation are a practice of be-ing.
It requires us to turn off the chatter of the brain and
tune into our body sensations, breathe, make sounds, intuitively move
Pleasure, Relaxation and Re-Creation is a Practice!
In so many areas of our lives we tend towards running on autopilot, flight or fight and high cortisol states.
There is no way we can experience authentic connection, attunement, guidance, direction, pleasure and love while operating in those states.
The consumer lifestyle and marketing world does a masterful job at creating additional problems for us, in addition to solving said problems with their product or service.
If you are like me you’ve realized that:
other people, places and things, substances, stories I tell myself, fantasies I indulge in and delusions I believe in,
self created or not, will never give me a predictable guaranteed solution to any challenges I’m experiencing.
So what is the solution to anxiety, suffering?
How can we experience deepened intimacy, connection, overall life quality satisfaction and pleasure?
Is that predictable and guaranteed?
Tantra it’s you!
We have the privilege and the power to make intentional conscious choices.
We have permission to claim/ reclaim our own personal power and autonomy in a way that is always beneficial to the greater good regardless of our judgments of what appears in the moment.
Judgments both good bad and everything in between. It’s our opinion of something based on what we believe or feel in the moment.
Consciously or unconsciously.
Core Tantra Principle:
We believe that orgasmic energy is the life force energy that flows through us and makes us alive. We can experience this energy in many different ways and in all areas of our life, at different levels of intensity and awareness.
Tantric practices
are about connecting with our own life force orgasmic energy, creating presence, creating more conscious awareness,
having more intentional choice,
embracing and accepting duality/polarities. Resulting in confidence, flow, more grace, ease and of course pleasure.
Embodiment
Tantra includes all the senses, tastes, smells, breathing, movements, sounds, sensations. Tantra integrates the body, mind, spirit, our attitudes, ideas, beliefs and values.
Ancient tantric practices are the only guaranteed, reliable tool for state change, nervous system regulation and a growth mindset. These simple practices focus on deepening body awareness and connection through ancient, proven tantric methods.
Highlighting the importance of shifting from autopilot mindset and stress-driven states to a more intentional and conscious way of being Through breath, sounds, movement, sensation and intentional visualization.
Tantric embodiment practices
The practices involve tuning into one’s breath, movement, sounds, thoughts, images and body sensations to create awareness, allow us choice, shift our state, and harness orgasmic energy.
The breathwork helps end anxiety and come into presence.
Mental visualizations help to inspire the brain to incorporate new scripts, images and ideas.
Movements help us move energy and express
Sounds at different frequencies can help us tune into our bodies frequency and settle into more ideal states.
The practice of each technique or combining all of these together, immediately results in overall relaxation, awareness, less over thinking, more authentic connection, natural flow, pleasure, confidence and personal evolution.
Tantra for the boardroom to the bedroom
Tantric practices are valuable in our personal intimate relationships as well as our professional business relationships. Continuing to practice these techniques over time helps us to create awareness giving us choice and ultimately creating a new frequency we are radiating at.
Tantric practice: Mindset
Mindset is everything; it determines the quality of our relationships that ultimately determine the quality of our lives.
Mindset is the perspective that sets the stage for how we communicate, interpret, experience and operate/act/show up in life.
Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset
A fixed mindset is a more narrow and limited view of the way things are.
It can be easy to get stuck in a fixed mindset in certain areas of our life at various times.
To get something different than we have now, (change of any kind: physical, emotional spiritual/ metaphysical or psychological)
We must first identify what we believe.
Next we must also believe or at least consider, something different is possible.
This is the growth mindset!
The growth mindset is the reason why our tantric practice is so important and powerful.
Real Life In Action, as I like to say.
Our bodies are miraculous machines. Our brain is a quantum computer. The whole physical body is like a giant antenna tuning into dimensions and information seen and unseen.
Ultimately, unconsciously or consciously, we do what we believe is best for us in any given situation, at any given time. (Source positive Drive principal, PDP CBT Baldwin Research;Freedom model)
For efficiency our brains and bodies follow the known path and or the path of least resistance. Using the most developed pathways and skills. Good job brain and body🙌💪
Curiosity
One of the most important traits to having a growth mindset and creating the possibility for a change is being curious.
Invitation to reflect with curiosity:
When a fixed mindset is working for us, do you question it ?
I noticed I don’t usually question something I have a fixed mindset around , especially when it’s unconscious, because I am comfortable and getting what we want for the most part. It’s predictable regardless of my judgments of the moment (like or dislike the results I get).
There is absolutely a time and a place to enjoy comfort and predictability.
The Shadow side of comfort is that it can lead to complacency, stuckness and even dissatisfaction. Especially when that comfortable, fixed mindset is no longer getting us what we want or feeling comfortable anymore.
Becoming curious from a perspective of: nothing is good or bad (no shame no blame) we practice a growth mindset.
It is not a perfect, it is a practice.

“Stacie was an excellent instructor and funny as hell. I didn’t expect that. Thank you”

Learn Tantra now
If you have attended in the past I encourage you to attend again. There’s always something new and different that appears. It’s also valuable to practice and connect with other people along your journey.
These experiences are a personal practice you may attend solo with a partner or bring a friend.
Practicing Tantra solo is a great way to start to create relationships you truly desire with yourself and others.
In order to practice Tantra for couples we must first get connected and attuned to ourselves.
When we are connected to our own energy then we share it with another from that space, tantric magic happens!
As we continue to practice, we evolve and naturally attract people and experiences into our lives from a place of love and abundance rather than fear. We are at more conscious choice and have more discernment as to with who and what type of relationships we choose to engage in.
Practicing Tantra single, with a partner or work group can be a powerful tool for transmutation, expansion, healing, connection and manifestation.
After all Tantra is all about the orgasmic life force energy that flows through us that is ever present, ever sure, abundant and free. This orgasmic life force energy flows through each and every one of us; it’s what makes us alive!
You deserve and need time for ‘no-focus’/’no thinking’ to function at your full capacity and experience pleasure.
In addition, Tantra can help you manifest your best life and exponentially accelerate your growth and success. Two keys to success in life most people are not talking about are body intelligence and emotional intelligence. Tantra is a practice where you build both of those muscles. Increasing self awareness, self regulation and communication skills.
