Most people think "Tantra" is having blissful, exotic sex as described in the Kama Sutra and depicted in Tantric art. It is! And it's much more than that. Tantra is also an increased connection to personal bliss twenty-four hours a day, in all parts of your life. Tantra is feeling revitalized at the office, connected to the earth and nature. It is being more in love with your friends and family and finding the open space on a crowded street. Through Tantra you can develop a new relationship to sexual energy that accesses a life of love, abundance, and "having it all." This takes you beyond what most people know. Through Tantra you can meet the Tantra Goddess or God in the body of your partner-- and then find that the Tantra Goddess and God are inside you too. |

Our Tantra philosophy is to give yourself permission to fall totally in love with yourself and embrace everything about you, even desire. Then you are able to define your own personal integrity. Grounded in this way you can stand strong in your life in the face of complete fear, anger, judgment or resistance. Our Tantra workshops include sexual exercises for couples and singles, but for the most part we teach Tantra Yoga through breathing techniques, emotional release, movement, dance, cleansing of the charkas, making sounds, and other methods of moving the kundalini or prana energy through the body. We teach the techniques until internalized by the students and then emphasize letting them in favor of "living in the unknown." "Tantra" literally translated means "to weave." Through Tantra practices we weave female energy to male energy into union inside ourselves. This means weaving dark to light, body to mind, and sexuality to spirituality. Thus the practice of Tantra eliminates duality from thinking and experience. At Butterfly Workshops we offer this meaning of Tantra: TRANSFORMATION THROUGH PLEASURE! At Butterfly Workshops we nurture you, teach you to tap into your individual wisdom and encourage you to follow the inner guidance of your body. This way you allow your body's wisdom to shape your growth. Our Tantra workshops are forums in which we talk about our individual experiences and whatever we're finding as blocks. Tantra students connect as a community and touch one another's lives. You can also visit our {on-line Tantra forum} to get a sense of the vibe. Or to learn more about Tantra on-line, you can view our Tantra {FAQ}, read these {articles} about Tantra, or follow these {links}.
