Yogini Adept Training Intensive, Cape Town, 21 -25 March 2012

Yogini Adept Training Intensive 
 21 -25 March 2012

Cape Town

A five day practitioner-level training facilitated by Sw. Rahasya and Dakini Wendy, assisted by Yogini Annwen


This is an absolutely practical training. As you learn techniques, you also experience them, and gain the lessons you will hopefully go on to teach. Over 5 days, you will experience and learn fundamental healing modalities and make significant progress on your own journey on this path. This training is for those intending to work with Tantra.

Following the training, an optional internship leads to practitioner-level certification as a Yogini Adept.

Methods:

Massage skills and bodywork overview
Working with body armoring and sensuality
Understanding and working with eroticism
Essential meditation techniques for Tantrikas

The course will also include attention to your individual personal growth.

We then offer a three month (earning) internship. We mentor you in the practice of three of the techniques you have learned, working supervised and then alone with our students in our sessions rooms.

Successful completion of your internship is acknowledged by us with our Degree and endorsement as a Yogini Adept (guys, Yogi Adept).

Not all our students intend working as practitioners. It is perfectly good (although challenging) to take this training to accelerate your own progress and capabilities.

Cost: R2800

Into the Depths, Cape, Dec 2011

Into the Depths 

 8 - 13 December 2011
Gecko Creek, Cederberg
Facilitated by Rahasya and Shakti

A five day intensive course brought to you by two highly experienced Tantrikas. Tantra is a mystery tradition that includes all aspects of our being, also our sexuality, in the quest for awakening. Tantra has traditionally been seen as the fast path, the most direct route to breaking through illusions and waking up to the truth of who we really are. It is a path for spiritual warriors, fools for the divine, tightroap-walkers into the depths of existence.

Want to come play?

The Facilitators: Rahasya and Shakti

Sw Advait Rahasya is the Director of the Advait Tantraschool of South Africa; see tantraschool.co.za. He is one of the rare few living Tantra masters on the planet today. Rahasya's teachings are a unique contemporary interpretation of the ancient Tantric mystery traditions. His touch is extroadinary and his style of teaching incisive, quirky and compassionate. Shakti Malan is a Dakini and member of the Advait Tantraschool. She has a strong practice in Cape Town and has been teaching internationally in the UK and US. For more on her teaching, see shakti.co.za and totalitytherapy.com

A Training Programme

Tantra is a practical path; it is a set of practices rather than a philosophy or a religion. The teaching reveals itself through personal practice. Whether you come to this event as a facilitator of others or purely for your own journey, our focus remains the same: It is through doing your own inner work that you develop the capacity to support others. The deeper you dive into your own psyche, the more of you becomes present to radiate awareness into the world.

Our focus on this training will be on your personal experience. In addition, we will bring in the meta-perspective of the facilitator, helping you to understand and access the techniques and processes we are using to facilitate your journey.

Who is this training for?

This training is for any committed seekers of truth who are asking the big questions:
Who am I (really?)
What is the truth?
How can I live in unconditional love?

The training is structured in a way that it will deeply serve both those who are coming only for their own personal work and those who wish to insert more of the wisdom of Tantra into their professional practice. We welcome practitioners from all walks of life: conscious sexuality, yoga and meditation teachers, healers, medical practitioners, psychologists and sexologists, body workers, sex workers, leaders, teachers. We are expecting participants from all over South Africa and the world. While partners are welcome to join the training together, you are most welcome to join the programme on your own.

Into the Depths

A central approach of Tantra is to open you to the full depths of your experience. We habitually and continually repress and deny much of the feeling, sensation and emotion that is available to us. Our work and play together will help you to access the depths of your experience that has been denied, and thus to open to the heights of sensation you are capable of.

Themes

Our themes for the training are:

A. Embracing desire and fear

1. Learning to use your erotic impulse as a way to mine what is in the unconscious
2. Acquiring practices that assist you to stay present in the fire of your deepest fears and desires
3. Finding ways to distinguish between association and the real of experience
4. Getting to know how the nervous system responds when what has been repressed gets accessed
5. Witnessing, experiencing and learning how to facilitate the nervous system and the emotional body through the re-integration of what has been repressed

B. The Soulmate Within

1. Making conscious your inner masculine and feminine and the relationship between them
2. Understanding and practicing right relationship between your inner masculine and feminine
3. Reclaiming aspects of your inner masculine and feminine that have been projected outward on to significant others
4. Exploring the real of love, fidelity, trust, commitment and other concepts associated with intimate relationship

Methods

enactment
breathwork
Tantric meditations
roleplay
facilitated discussions
conscious touch technique teaching
witnessed individual sessions with participants
opportunities to explore and practice with each other
blissdance and waterbliss, two Tantric movement systems created by Shakti.

Tantra Intensive Cape, Dec. 2011

Tantra Intensive

13 - 16 December 2011

This year's Tantra Training is followed by a Tantra Intensive. This is an advanced retreat for people who have done the Tantra Training last year or this year. The focus of the Intensive will be a deepening of the work done in the Training. The event will also be a celebration, an opportunity to immerse in the bliss of awakening with Rahasya and Shakti.

The place: Gecko Creek, Cederberg

Gecko Creek is an exquisite venue in the Cederberg, remarkably easy to access and only 2 - 3 hours' drive from Cape Town. See geckocreek.com. The Cederberg is an exquisitely beautiful wild area north of Cape Town in the Western Cape. Gecko Creek forms part of the only leopard sanctuary in South Africa. The rocky outcrops are full of San paintings, testifying to the fact that this place has been a sacred site for thousands of years. Cabins and tents all have extraordinary views over the wilderness. One of the reasons why we choose Gecko Creek is because it is a real immersion in nature, and brings us back to the basics of life.

Birth into Being

I recently met the work of Elena Tonetti, a Russian, who teachers women ecstatic birth and has made an out of this world DVD.

In synchronicity, I asked Sharon Mauldin, a dakini from the United States, to teach in Johannesburg. She has agreed. Her work that we will be exploring is the work she has learnt from Elena.

Now we have the unusual privilege of meeting this work right here in South Africa.

This work invites men and women to revisit their own birth, and meet your birth anew in an extraordinary way.

When traumas and misunderstandings are met and fully felt a huge amount of frozen energy, new trust and freedom are suddenly available to you now.

This radically impacts your current life and opens doorways that you never knew existed.

BIRTH INTO BEING ~ Day Long "Birthshop"
Welcome to Your Life!

26th November - 10:30 till 6pm
Fellside, Johannesburg

“We come spinning out of nothingness, scattering stars, the stars form a circle and in the centre we dance”

Rumi, 14th Century Mystic

Every moment we are birthing our life. The quality of this life is directly related to how we initially came onto this planet. Most of us had birth experiences that were less than ideal. Our "blueprint" is not supporting us to live our most vibrant, enlivened life.

The Birth Into Being process creates an opportunity to dynamically update that blueprint. It's for anyone who was born in less than blissful circumstances and wants to change the way it's affecting them in the Present.

Through gentle, potent experiences the Birth Into Being process is designed to re-imprint your nervous system with new possibilities of lovingly being welcomed into the world and into your life. This updated blueprint will create a new, healthier foundation that will carry you into your most empowered presence.

Join us for Birth Into Being and ...
Shift patterns rooted in birth trauma
Create new possibilities for manifesting an extraordinary presence
Align with your Soul's intention for your life journey
Empower yourself to fully show up in your life
Connect to and trust your flowering

Limited places .. RSVP shima@shima.co.za or 0845911211

World renouned Breath Master Dan Brulé and Wisdom Dakini Shima will be offering a day of breath and tantra.

breath energy ecstasy

Friday 21st October

3pm till 10pm

Woodlands, Muldersdrift


In this workshop, we bring awareness to the art of connecting to the authentic self while participating and expressing with others from that authenticity.

How do we immerse in being and participate with others without compromising who we are?

Breath connects us... to our source, to our self, and to others. Conscious breathing brings presence and openness to receive each moment. In this allowing, the core or sexual energy flows in its true nature of innocence.

Here, authenticity expresses without fear, judgement or compromise, connecting deeply to oneself and to others.

When breath and sexual energy are allowed, feelings of separation melt and a real meeting with yourself and others spontaneously arises.

Join us for this amazing taste of breath, energy and ecstasy!

Cost: R780
There are limited places. Please reserve your place with Dakini Shima on 0845911211 or shima@shima.co.za

Totality Therapy Training London September

Totality Therapy Training
by Shakti Malan (Ph.D)
/South Africa/
London, September 23rd - 25th

“Totality Therapy is for people who are serious
about waking up - this Lifetime.”
/Shakti Malan/

Totality Therapy is a training that is teaching how to get total with your sexuality – if you want to reach the fullness of what your sexuality can take you to. This requires that you live every dimension of your life with totality – that you be fully present with every experience.

It takes immense capacity to hold the fullness of what is possible in your sexuality. This capacity is a direct result of our willingness and ability to feel and experience all of what life brings us. Being total with yourself does not mean you have to resign your job and dedicate your life to charity. It means fully occupying your life as it is right now, being willing to go to the depth of experience that this moment offers you. It means taking responsibility for your life.

Read More about the Totality Therapy Training in London, September 23rd-25th.

This intensive long weekend workshop will be followed by 14 month internet based training that is planned to start in February 2012.


Shakti Malan is a professional Dakini based in Cape Town, South Africa. Her work is infused with and inspired by the raw, catalytic potency of Africa. Shakti holds a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology. The main aim and passion of Shakti's work is to catalyze awakening into full realization through the opening of
(sexual) vital life force. Strong focus areas of Shakti's work are: the releasing of suppressions and repressions, the use of eroticism to integrate what is in the unconscious, the integration of dualities in the psyche, the flowering of female sexuality and merging with the inner soulmate.

Time: 10am - 6pm
Location: The Pot, East London, E3 2PD
