CROYDON HALL Sacred Sexuality Tantra Group for Singles facilitated by Sarita and Chintan 11 - 16 March 2008 Our sexuality is not only physical and emotional but an essential part of our spiritual existence and energy. This 6 day group is structured as a journey into sexual awakening and the flowering of this energy into divine sexuality. Some people are afraid to come to a Tantra group, but Croydon Hall would like to clarify that even though we work with liberating sexual energy in this group, we do so in a respectful way, remaining considerate of people’s vulnerability around intimacy. Sexual union between group members is not part of this group structure. In this group 5 stages of sensual awakening are explored. The first phase is self love. The second phase is same sex bonding. The third phase is heterosexual relating. The fourth phase is intimacy. The fifth phase is Sacred Sexuality, which arises if one has deeply lived the other phases of development. .During the process, the group live through these stages, rewriting their life script in a positive way, using Tantric meditations, rituals, group exercises, dance and psychodrama.

French Therapy Retreats & Courses Today France, like many European countries, offers many varieties of therapuetic approaches to healing and well-being and it is often difficult to know how authentic and safe such workshops, courses, and personal guidence really are as they can and often are offered under the title of spirituality. This may even include those on offer which appear to be based in established religions such as Christianity or in church organisations such as Catholism. If you have any questions about the kind of therapy you are being offered or about the organisation offering it, then visit the website of L'ASSOCIATION PSYCHOTHERAPIE VIGILANCE at www.PsyVig.com to find out more. This association was founded by Guy Rouquet to help safeguard people from psychologically risky and questionnable therapies and spirituality movements claiming to be founded on' science. The site is in French at this time. |
