Dragon's Nectar Tantra Intensive
20 - 25 November 2009, Drakensberg
Dragon
 The dragon
represents our raw instinctual power, our primal connection to the elements, our
uninhibited expression. It is the dragon in us that can roar in ecstasy when we
make love. It is the dragon that can dance with abandon, in tenderness and in
magnificence. In oriental mysticism our vital life force, our sexuality, is seen
as dragon power or chi. Without access to the dragon power, to the raw potency
of our eroticism, we lack the vitality to live our lives fully, and to endure
the challenges that come on a path of awareness.
Nectar
Nectar is
the pure juice of presence that flows when our dragon power gets filled with
awareness. The raw energy of the dragon needs to be cultivated; the dragon needs
to be tamed so that its power becomes useful rather than destructive to those
with whom it shares company.
Dragon's Nectar Tantra Intensive
This
intensive will be an opportunity to open up the flow of your dragon power, your
raw sexual energy - and then to refine this dragon juice into the nectar that
feeds the sweetest quality of presence and awakeness in your life. For this we
will use a combination of Tantric methods:
- active meditations
- dance and
movement
- breath work
- sound work
- tantric meditations
