Festival Offering:
Tantrik Ritual: This workshop will use ancient Tantrik practices and spirituality to give
participants tools to support their spiritual growth. We’ll first understand how spiritual meaning
is encoded and embodied in Tantrik rituals.
Then we will work together through four stages of practice and meaning: sacred sounds
(mantra) where each participant will discover their own mantra, sacred geometry, where each
participant will create their own personal sacred symbol, sacred geography, where each
participant will understand how to energise their body for spiritual practice, as well as an
understanding of the ancient and secret rituals of sacred sexuality.
Participants will walk away with important tools – a personal mantra, a personal symbol, and
new understanding of their bodies, and an insight into ceremony and eroticism.
