TANTRA IN MOTION WEEKEND: Eros, Embodiment, & Sensual Touch

 

Join us for a weekend of delicious connection through sensual movement and touch. A fusion between Sacred Sexuality and a potent “dance" form called Contact Improvisation, this experiential weekend is an opportunity to create more pleasure and sexiness through intimate connection and embodiment.

 

No prior experience with Contact or Tantra required. All are welcome and don’t worry there’s no dancing in the traditional sense. Anyone can do it!

Transcend to new ecstatic heights with complete presence for every titillating movement and sensation. Move your way into deeper connection by exploring the body’s senses through playful exercises that include:

 

• Contact fundamentals

• Connection exercises

• Embodied exploration of Tantric principles

• Consensual over-the-clothes erotic touch

• Orgasmic Breathwork

• And plenty of opportunities for play and dance!

 

Boundaries and consent will be emphasized, and clothing will stay on at all times (with the exception of the clothing-optional hot tub). If you come with a partner, you are free to move with them throughout the entire weekend and let that be your focus. 

 

This weekend exploration will be held in a beautiful retreat center outside of Boulder Creek -surrounded by trees and all the tranquility that nature has to offer. All exercises are optional and you are welcomed to make this weekend a personal getaway for some much needed downtime and/or an opportunity to connect with others intimately.

No prior experience necessary. Open to individuals and couples and triads, etc, of all orientations and genders. Come solo and prepared to sensually engage with new friends, or come partnered for a yummy getaway and a chance to deepen together.
