Invitation to Tantra: Workshop, 1-7 pm in La Jolla
Francoise and Mitchell Ginsberg are again offering their day workshop.
FEES: $70 per person; $120 per couple.
TO REGISTER: Call (858) 531-1028 or email
tantra.francoise@gmail.com
Our class will include a brief summary of tantric philosophy as a means to
expand our ability to love, and an overview of tantric practices as tools to
enjoy this precious gift we've been offered�our physical body and
psychospiritual presence.
EXERCISES INCLUDE:
The 5 modalities of touch, which will be practiced on the arm, fully
dressed.
A detailed presentation of the sacred feminine and masculine
ritual, with time to address your personal questions.
A heart-warming
Puja during which you will pair up for a 5-minute excercise with each
partner in the group.
Our class is gender-balanced and limited to 24.
OUR INTENTION:
We are deeply respectful of the sacredness that is present in sexuality
at its most nourishing and healing levels. Our teachings emphasize the
integration and harmonization of our sexuality in all of its aspects
(physical, energetic, emotional, healing, and spiritual). Practical
instructions and exercises we use help in the development of the open,
loving heart of mindfulness. This consciousness is then applied to
rituals whose intimacy and intensity are beyond our usual experience of
sexuality, giving us a taste of what the tradition has called the highest ambrosia.
