| Bliss: Beginner's Tantra |
| |
|
In the course, we cover:
* What Tantra is and is not
* How it relates to Hatha Yoga
You will:
* activate, clear and balance the Chakras (energy centers) of the body
* learn to work with your intentions to manifest what you desire
* learn 6000 year old Egyptian, Indian, and Tibetan practices that teach our bodies to expand to more pleasure and agelessness
* learn and practice three forms of emotional release
* discover sex techniques and conscious connection (learn what to do at home; i.e. breathing eye gazing, yab yum)
* learn to move in the unknown - Latihan
* be initiated into Cobra Breath
Basically, our Tantra work at Butterfly Workshops goes very deep. We do emotional release sessions as well as intention sessions. We look at people's inability for permission for anything like love, pleasure, abundance, health. We say, there's a direct connection with the 2nd Chakra (energy center) and the 5th. If you do not have permission to speak and get what you want, you probably have no permission to experience pleasure. And visa versa. So, where is the blockage? We work on both ends literally.
In Bliss, our day-long beginner's intensive, we set people up to look at the pleasure question and give many practices to have people start to really see what's up in their lives. It's all about the individual so partners are not required. In one day, you get a sense of whether or not you want to pursue Tantra as a possible spiritual path or if you just had a good time and now know something about Tantra and the ancient practices.
You'll learn to:
- Prolong and deepen lovemaking - generating/containing more sexual energy.
- Transmute sexual energy to rejuvenate the body, stimulate creativity and reverse the aging process.
- Really be present to yourself and your Beloved (or future Beloved).
- Discover that you are the creator of your reality and experience.
- Transform your reality - manifest your Soul's intentions.
People who have taken the courses have reported the Benefits of Butterfly Tantra are:
1. Feel great about yourself - happy, more attractive, self-confident, increase your capacity for more pleasure, experience joy and fulfillment as a way of life.
2. Empower well-being - eliminate toxins, eliminate stress - accept yourself for who you are & release deep painful cellular memories; feel safe and whole.
3. Focus - set intentions, do the practices and watch the laws of attraction bring what you want i.e. life partner, more $, career change
4. Uplift relationships - see others for who they really are, relate to their deep divine nature and trust your intuition
5. Experience the expression of your deepest emotions. Know rapture, love, passion and beyond! Become your own beloved!

| Initiation - The Mastery of Self Love |
| |
|
The theme of Initiation is the "Mastery of Self Love." This is an opportunity for you to look at your life from the perspective of your resistance to getting more of what you want (money, relationships, health and self expression) being synonymous with your lack of permission to love yourself, and permission to be loved by others. Pain in your body is equal to your fear of expressing your truth in the world. Your sense of lack is directly related to your lack of permission.
Did you ever stop to wonder how you inherited all of the negative self-talk that holds you back? At what point did you take it on as the truth about you?
It's all related to your self image and self love and permission for pleasure in your life. And for seven days we will be exploring this together as a single "community," sharing the ecstasy and the agony of it all - inside of permission for love.
Initiation, our most advanced course is based on the premise that you have been doing the practices for some time. If you still do not have what you want in all areas of your life, we work with the body map. Where is the blockage and what is needed to dispel the block? It's a spa course that has various healing modalities available during the course plus we do Tibetan Rebirthing which allows one to be born now, "self" born as a creation. Like "What do you want?" "Who do you want to be?" "Who do you choose to be born as right now?"
In addition, there will be one day where you are on your own to explore more of the area. And there will probably be one evening of dining out together.
If you are a body worker or healer, you may apply to be on spa staff and receive a 20 percent discount off the cost of the retreat. Staff discounts are available for body workers and spa staff only. If you are a reviewer you are not eligible for the spa staff discount in addition to your reviewer's discount $200. AND you still may choose to be part of spa staff.
Remember, Initiation is about having it all! So if you are interested and confronted because of the money, find a way to have it all. We encourage you to call us, take a risk and be there by any means necessary! (Payment plans are strongly encouraged if you want to go and are concerned about the cost.)
One week retreat.

| Anger Management Consulting |
| |
|
Our Anger Management course is designed for organizations experiencing an increase in employee unrest either due to the times we live in (post trauma) or due to their own personal anger. Usually a company calls us in to offer this course on their premises rather than scheduling courses that many different people attend.
We also offer Anger Management coaching sessions privately. This is the most effective way we know for people to release their anger in a constructive way.
Our first session with someone costs $200 per hour and usually goes 2 hours. From there we make a determination together with the client on what's the appropriate course of action.
We offer coaching over the phone and Skype as well.
We use Body-oriented approaches such as bioenergetics, dynamic meditation, Latihan, assertiveness training and Yogaboxing (tm) with anger clients. It proves to be very fast and effective.
We are not psychologists. We have studied bioenergetics, psychodrama, applied kinesiology, yoga, Tantra, dance and many forms of meditation and transformation over the years.

Experience SACRED LOVE in Your Relationships
Tantra is a philosophy that cultivates and encourages physical expression of the body to be one with the universe. It is much more than spiritual thoughts or a set of practices, rather it is a lifestyle, a way of perceiving yourself and others. It involves bringing conscious awareness to your experience and a desire for sacredness in all of life. It begins through loving the self as a divine being and then allowing that love to spread to our partners/our world.
It can be said that the goal is to balance male energies (Shiva = cosmic consciousness) with feminine energies (Shakti = manifestation on earth) and live in perfect union. You are invited to a weekend of Tantric exploration.
In this workshop, you'll learn to:
- Integrate spiritual and sexual energies, expressing sacred sexuality
- Really be present to yourself and others
- Prolong and deepen lovemaking - generating/containing more sexual energy
- Touch sensually - increase erotic potential
- Use Tantric breathwork and meditation
- Move in the unknown - Latihan
- Give/receive Kundalini massage and discuss Female/Male sacred spot ritual
- Transmute sexual energy (rejuvenate the body, stimulate creativity, reverse the aging process)
- Transform your reality - manifest your Soul's intentions
People who have participated in the course say:
1. You can expect to feel great about yourself - feel more attractive, self-confident, increase your capacity for more pleasure, experience joy and fulfillment as a way of life.
2. You'll learn to empower better health - eliminate toxins.
3. You will eliminate stress - accept yourself for who you are and release deep painful cellular memories; feel safe and whole.
4. You will uplift your relationships - see others for who they really are, relate to their deep divine nature and begin to trust your intuition.
5. You will begin to experience the expression of your deepest emotions, know rapture, love, passion and beyond.
That sounds like a lot for one weekend, yeah? Actually, those descriptions are a conglomerate of exact quotes from past participants

| Ask Laurie Anything |
| |
|
Laurie has discovered many a nuance about sexuality and relationships in the teaching of Tantra. Mostly she finds that people have a new way of relating to themselves. They can be joyous and blissful as a chosen way of being and they come to value themselves more. They are present to being divine.
After introducing this new way of relating, Laurie will answer your questions and facilitate a discussion about issues and concerns in sex, love, relationships and dating that occur within the paradigm of being divine.
Come and ask Laurie anything!
3 hours.

| Yogaboxing (tm) |
| |
|
Yogaboxing comes from Tantric Kriya Yoga a tradition of Tantra Yoga from Southern India taught by masters called Siddhas, Kriya is Sanscrit for "Action".
In Yogaboxing, unlike Hatha, Iyengar, Bickram and Ashtanga, you breath through your mouth and your nose. Nose breathing is mostly done in the other Yoga classes. Nose breathing is masculine, Mouth breathing feminine. Yogaboxing uses both nose and mouth breathing (circular breathing) to balance masculine and feminine energies in the body. Nose breathing is masculine because it brings air predominantly to the head, mouth breathing brings air to the body. People get dizzy usually breathing through their nose, and become grounded when they breathe through their mouth.
In Yogaboxing the tail bone is back. In most Yoga disciplines (especially in the West) the tail bone is tucked in. Try the two yourselves to distinguish the difference. When the tailbone is back, the primary muscles in the body are engaged, including the thighs, quads, abs and butt. This is why Yogaboxing tones faster than other exercise systems. Just the grounding pose alone engages the legs, butt and abs, and the tail bone back allows the body to stand for longer periods of time safely, without putting pressure on the back or skeletal structure of the body.
Yogaboxing differs from Yoga in that it intentionally activates the body's vital sexual and emotional energy, using African dance, mantras and boxing movements to awaken the energy centers, stimulate and charge the body with powerful sexual energy to help people look younger, feel better, detox faster, build up their immune system, and release stress. It has been called "The Kundalini Boogie" – the most fun you'll ever have sweating in your clothes.
