Conscious Sexuality Retreat
By Shakti Malan
Level 1: 25 -27
September 2009
Level 2: 27 - 28 September 2009
On Conscious Sexuality
If we know how to use our sexual
energy, it can take us into a beautiful flowering of the heart, into deep states
of bliss and serenity. Sexual energy can also open up our authentic wildness!
However, for many of us today, this potential of our sexuality is not being fully realized. Some of the common reasons
are:
- We have been conditioned to suppress our natural sexuality in some way.
- Out of habit, sex has become a rushed explosion of pent-up energy, rather
than an experience of loving, deepening, merging.
- Experiences that we have had in the past (these can be sexual, emotional,
physical, spiritual) got stuck in the body and are blocking our energy flow.
- We are simply not in our bodies enough, loving being in our bodies
enough!
The good news is that it is infinitely possible to open the
flow of your natural sexuality into a conscious expression again, no matter what your age is, and
whether you have a partner or not. What it takes is a willingness to shed some
illusions, and to get conscious
with your
life! The
retreat
This retreat is an introduction into the art of sacred
sexuality. My specific intent is to design it around the
participants; where you are at and what you need. I hope to make some of the
basic concepts of conscious sexuality
clear to you, and to give you a deep (and blissful) experience of what is
possible, in your body. Since this is an introductory workshop, you will not be
required to expose yourself in any way that is not comfortable for you. The
retreat will also introduce you to practices that you can take into your daily
life and/or into your relationship.
For those of you who have already
done some work with me and would like to deepen your understanding and for those
who wish to go deeper after the weekend's retreat I offer an additional day
(Sunday 4 pm to Monday 4 pm) in which we can explore some more. You are welcome
to bring your questions and requests.
What you can expect
dialogue, discussions, roleplay
dancing and
movement
meditations
breathwork
touch exercises
more delightful
discussions around fires and food
The presenter
Shakti is a
full time teacher of conscious sexuality. She has a passion for embodied awakening - using the
body as an alive, responsive vehicle to help us discover the truth of who we
really are. Shakti is based in Cape Town and runs workshops and retreats in Cape
Town and elsewhere in South Africa. She also does private consultations. Shakti
has a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology. For more information on Shakti see shakti.co.za. For more on her

The venue
The Osho Neo
Monastery is a unique forest venue constructed and managed by people who glow
with the light of awareness. Accommodation is provided in A-frame wooden huts
lovingly made by the owner. The gathering hall rises up out of the forest and
opens up to it on all sides. This is a back-to-nature weekend, the best way to
get back into our natural sexuality - with manually heated
showers, candles and fires. Food is vegetarian and always
exquisite.
