Kink coaching

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:32:00 +0000

There is a new awareness of kink and fetish lifestyle, and many people are now beginning to explore these elements as part of their foreplay, thus bringing a different dimension into sexual play and enhancement.

Yet many are floundering in the dark, not knowing exactly what to do, or how to go about obtaining the right accesories, or how to use them effectively. In some cases, they have been "put off' due to lack of knowledge, or even have hurt their partner. What they need is a basic introduction into the safety aspects of this lifestyle, they need to know how to play safe, thus enhancing their enjoyment of this new found pleasure.

I have researched, and been involved in this particular lifestyle for many years, and thus, can assist in giving advice, or help couples, or women explore this in a safe and controlled manner. I have also discussed this with a Pro Domme whom I have known for a long time, we have been working out various options and hopefully soon will be able to make her services available as well at Shakti Gardens - for teaching and training, and enabling others to experience these various elements with her, or with me.

This is not about abuse or punishment, it is discovering the erotic elements in fetish and kink, it is about learning to utilise this new found knowledge to enhance foreplay, thus creating a new awareness and appreciation of the body, and your creativity in giving or receiving pleasures. It is about surrender to pleasure, surrender and allow another to control the foreplay, and thus the enhancement of bliss. It is about delighting the senses, exploring new limits.

All enquiries will be dealt with in the strictest confidence - if you need to talk, ask questions, need advice, then feel free to mail me at info@shaktigardens.com, or call me on 082 961 5454

This is the year of change and transformation, this is the year to discover yourself

Be blessed

Dakini at Shakti Gardens

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:19:00 +0000

Shakti Gardens is continually evolving and changing, we did experience is small downturn last year, but we believe the change in the economy is now definitely creating a more positive energy and awareness for this year.

We are please to have with us a Dakini from the Advait Tantra School - Shekina Moondancer - who is well versed in the Sacred Healing Arts. She also brings with her different skills in that she utilises card reading, crystals etc. Not only does she offer physical bodywork and healing, but she also teaches, counsels and trains others with regards to Tantra, thus enabling them to have a better understanding of Tantra and its principles, as well as assisting them to create a deeper awareness of themselves, their energies, and their wellness.

Shekina offers an introductory session, as well as a full session for Tantric Healing - she only works by appointment, so we would then request that you call first to check availability.

Be blessed

You are always treated with the utmost dignity and respect.

Alliance Francais presents A Very Naughty Valentine

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 21:01:00 +0000

WHAT ABOUT A VERY NAUGHTY VALENTINE?

For couples and singles…

Screening of The Realm of the Senses*, directed by Nagisa Oshima

“Baring much more than bodies, Oshima delves deeply into subconscious carnal desires under the influence of society, and the eternal human contradictions between liberating sexual impulses and erotic enslavement.” Newsblaze

Alliance Française of Johannesburg, Saturday 13 ^{February, from 7pm, followed by an initiation to sensuality with Shakti Gardens.}

Prepare yourself for a very, very naughty Valentine’s Day! DIBUKA* invites you to the open-air screening of Nagisa Oshima's long-awaited erotic French-Japanese masterpiece, The Realm of the Senses*, at the Alliance Française of Johannesburg.

Thirty four years after its production and still censored in Japan, Nagisa Oshima's film is still one of the most controversial films to have ever been completed. A graphic portrayal of insatiable sexual desire, Oshima's film, set in 1936 and based on a true incident depicts a man and a woman consumed by a transcendent, destructive love while living in an era of ever escalating imperialism and governmental control. Less a work of pornography than of politics, the Realm of the Senses is a brave, taboo-breaking milestone. Widely banned when it was first released, the Realm of the Senses was seen by few viewers during its initial theatrical run. So don’t miss the chance to see it!

During this naughty Valentine's Day, a picnic Love Basket will be available for sale, for couples and singles wishing to indulge in the best French cuisine that will induce orgasmic flavours even in the most jaded of palates.

After the screening, Shakti Gardens, a sanctuary dedicated to sensuality will make you surrender into a complete sensory experience, and offers you an initiation to tantric sensual healing massage.

How singles can be comfortable in such an event? Mrs Serena will organise for you a fast dating that may allow you to find the love of your life!

And as if it wasn’t enough, DJ Ben Montrésor will make you lose your mind with his sexy music selection.

But when midnight strikes, time to move to the MOLOKO or the LATINOVA! Half price coupons will be available at the Alliance Française of Johannesburg on the night of the event.

So bring along your favourite picnic blanket, put on your sexiest dancing shoes, and join us for a night full of surprise under the Jozi dazzling night sky!

Through its multimedia collections, it offers an access to francophone news, and acts as a resource hub for all learners and educators of the French Language. (www.ifas.org.za/dibuka)

BDSM, Kink and Tantra!

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:20:00 +0000

Yes you read that correctly - BDSM, Kink and Tantra!

Before you run away screaming, or delete my info from your computer, stop, think, absorb.

How many couples love to play around during foreplay, how many like to use the imagination and creativity they have been blessed with? How many couples will at some time in their married lives experiment with blindfolds and (mock) handcuffs? Also how many have been careless enough to lose the keys to those handcuffs, thus creating an interesting scenario? Some even like to receive playful spanking! Maybe dress-up for their partner!

Yes we have been blessed with options, with creativity, with imagination!

But for some, there is a deeper yearning to explore this further, a deeper yearning to feel what it is like to be controlled, possessed, cherished and owned. Some want to experience what it is like to engage in "power exchange", allowing another to take complete control of a situation, allowing that person to give commands. Often you hear of high powered business men being caught out with a Dominatrix - more recently, the FIA boss, Max Mosely. There have been many. And, yes, there have been women who secretly see a Master whom they submit to.

Much of this has been kept hush-hush for fear of reprisal, some keep a secret supply of books or dvd's on the subject of Domination and submission, more commonly known as BDSM , or kink, or fetish lifestyle.

What is BDSM, let us break it down, Bondage/Discipline, Domination/Submission, Sado-Masochism.

What also needs to be explained are two very simple rules in this lifestyle:

RACK - Risk Aware Consensual Kink

Safe Sane & Consensual

Nothing is done without permission, boundaries are set, and "safe words" used. Someone wishing to submit to a Master or Dominatrix will have discussion first, set parameters and boundaries. They might want to explore sexual arousal while being restrained, they might have a need to confess to someone about their attitude, bad habits etc and wish to be punished for that - this can take the form of erotic spanking, or something harsher.

It is all about getting in touch with another dimension of your sexuality. Breaking the restraints of conformity. As we are taught in Tantra, to enjoy what we have, what we can experience. celebrate our bodies our pleasures our mind. If BDSM gives you pleasure, then utilise this to expand your abilities, your options

I know various communities and people involved in these communities. I assist them with Tantric Healing, sometimes I can assist others (who are curious) wishing to explore these dark desires that have been lying dormant for many years. This lifestyle is slowly coming out of the closet, peeping around the door, coming out and being more accepted. For some, experiencing this lifestyle has been a healing process in its own right, it has been transformational for them, as they begin to realise what their limits are, what there other desires might be, to experience a natural "high" through the release of endorphins and adrenaline. Some have experienced a break through in blockages caused by past hurts and abuse, through some of these techniques they learn to embrace those past hurts, break through the blockages, and move forward into a new realm of acceptance and victory, continuing into a deeper self assurance and positive attitude.

This is not something that is offered to everyone, nor is it part of my regular healing. it is a very specific need that has to be addressed, nurtured, exposed and dealt with in a caring dignified manner. But the results can be life changing for some.

If there is something you need to deal with in this manner, please speak to me or email me. We can meet to discuss it in detail. If there is something you need to experience, an erotic fantasy, a surreal dream, and you need to embrace this, or expose it and then deal with it, I will be here to assist you with what ever repressed emotions and dark fantasies you might have.

This work can be intense, but the release is also possibly the most rewarding!

Some say they wish to be bound to please, others are just pleased to be bound!

We are considering placing a new section on our website - dealing with this particular lifestyle and utilising it as a healing method. Using this to explore your sexuality, becoming more confident, to release your hidden repressed desires, and to restore your libido. Other Tantra sites in the USA are now recognising the value of kinks, and fetishes in our sexual lives, and thus we will be delving into this to expose it in a healthy manner

Sensual Healing Massages

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:52:00 +0000

At Shakti Gardens we offer a wide range of healing options!

Currently we offer these options to men and women.

Don Dreaming Eagle offers the traditional healing modalities as well as specializing in Tantric healing work for women, to help them get in touch with their inner Goddess, to help them release repressed emotions and repressed sexuality. This is done through Tantric Sensual Healing Massage, Tantric Sexual Energy Healing Massage, or Taoist Sexual Energy Healing Massage. It is a gentle nurturing process in which he brings about balance in mind, body and spirit before attempting to work with the meridians and sexual energies in the body. Included in this process is Hot Stone Therapy and Chakra Balancing. Many will experience an emotional release when having this healing. Many will leave feeling free, and uplifted, some might experience a profound shift in their conciousness and with their own energies, as well as realise that their libido has been restored and that they have begun to release their Goddess power. For clients not seeking Tantric or Taoist modalities, they can choose to have Swedish Massage, or Indian head & Shoulder Massage.

Sherry, who is a Reiki Master, offers Taoist Sensual Healing Massage to our male clientelle. This is a genuine healing process and not to be confused with what is offered at various "massage parlors", not to be confused with "sexy massage". Her work combines the gentleness of Reiki with taoist massage, to raise the energies in the body, to bring about balance in mind, body and spirit, and in some cases with raise the libido.

Sh'kina Moondancer is a Dakini from the Advait Tantra School. Her work in healing differs somewhat in that she will utilise massage, as well as counselling and teaching for seekers of Tantra. Therefore her sessions do take much longer than traditional massage sessions. She will gently lead you into a state of bliss, create new awareness of yourself and your energies as well as bring in teachings to assist you with the changes you experience.

Please note that what we offer is NOT a "sexy" massage, not does this mean "pelvic release", if that is the type of work you seek and desire, then Shakti Gardens is not the right venue for you. If it is healing you seek, a re-awakening of energies, a change in your mind-set, then please speak to us. We offer a genuine caring healing work, we do not cater for "thrill seekers", but will gladly welcome those who are genuine seekers of healing!

Be blessed

FORA - Friends of Rescued Animals

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:10:00 +0000

Hi all,

Attached is an ad from FORA for their fundraiser scheduled at Walkhaven on Saturday 21 November 2009.

As you may have heard FORA have to vacate their property by December this year and are desperately trying to raise R3,5 million to buy their own property to house the 600 dogs and 200 cats that they look after (see their appeal below for full details). They are therefore appealing for help for donations and the like.

Vivienne Jones of FORA had a really great idea: She thought it would be wonderful for the public to have a head, neck and shoulders massage while their pets have Reiki. I am writing to you to see if some of you would be interested in offering Reiki to the animals at their fundraiser at Walkhaven on 21 November. The cost to the public could either be fully or partly donated by the practitioner to FORA. We’re still trying to get more details, eg. if we offer Reiki there we would require a secluded area where we can work, the type of stalls they are planning, etc.

If you know of others who practice Reiki, please could you forward this to them as well. We’re obviously also working on getting some therapists together to do massage on the animals’ caretakers and if you have anyone in mind, again please forward.

Please would you think about it in light of the genuine need at this no-kill shelter. If you are interested, please contact me and I’ll advise Vivienne Jones.

MEDIA RELEASE 21 September 2009

FRIENDS OF RESCUED ANIMALS (FORA) - HOMELESS BY CHRISTMAS

WITHOUT YOUR HELP

Pro-life animal rescue centre FORA needs R3.5m and must find a new property by Christmas for 600 dogs and 200 cats after the sale of the Roodepoort property leased to founder Marlene de Beer six years ago by benefactor Bill Joffe in memory of his wife Francis Petlyn.

“We are definitely not closing, we are relocating, just as soon as we raise enough funds and finalise the right property”, says Breggie van Loggenberg, FORA manager since the death of Marlene de Beer from cancer in 2005.

Several possible properties have been identified but the amount of R3.5 million is desperately needed to finalise a new home.

FORA has helped animals and animal-lovers across Gauteng and as far afield as Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town, becoming known for their willingness to go the extra mile and take in any needy creature, even incurring medical costs to heal a sick animal when the bank account is empty.

“We receive wonderful support from the community and businesses, but no funding from government. We rely on faith a lot of the time and, although we witness tragedy and suffering, we also experience miracles and the daily joy of helping and homing rescued animals”, says Breggie.

Although finding R3.5 million and the right property in a few short months will be FORA’s greatest leap of faith to date, the organisation has already raised R100 000 in the first three days.

“We have helped thousands of animals and people in six successful years on this property and if just 3 000 people give us R1 000 each and 5 000 people give us R100 each, we will have reached our target,” she says.

“We will be deeply grateful for any help, even the smallest donation of money or materials,” she continued.

FORA will hold an Open Day on Saturday 3 October from 12 noon at their present property below Westgate and invites their many friends and supporters to join them and pledge whatever support they can.

Pledges and donations can also be made by

· emailing fora@mweb.co.za

A TASTE OF THE PATH OF LOVE

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 08:14:00 +0000

Dear ones

I have the pleasure to introduce to you a great and experienced OSHO facilitator Halima Hein.

Based in Frankfurt Germany she is an accomplished healer psychotherapist, and training leader since 1982, Halima is one of the senior trainers on the PATH OF LOVE Process. Halima will be offering the 2 day Awakening to love in Cape Town (if you missed the last one with Turiya Hanover ..), and the below workshops.

TANTRA SENSUALITY RELATING INTIMACY

Tantra means saying yes to life yourself and your nature. The training will help you recognize and undo sensual conditioning and patterns and pave the way for greater freedom and fulfillment in body mind and spirit.

Tantra teaches to return to the natural to start listening to your body and your senses, to open up to the flow of sensuality inside you and to trust where it leads you. In this surrender to the natural, lies the great potential for merging with existence at large, for letting meditation happen to you, right here and right now in this very body.

AWAKENING TO LOVE A TASTE OF THE PATH OF LOVE

Awakening of Love is for people who truly want change in their lives
we work with honest, loving self-exposure, supporting you to connect with your true value and essence through unique exercises and meditations. You will get clearer at reading, understanding and knowing your authentic self

The Five Faces of Human Evolution

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:53:00 +0000

The Five Faces of Human Evolution

A weekend workshop of self-discovery and personal transformation!

Our life is a sacred journey of searching for the truth of who we are and who we came here to be. The soul hungers for us to evolve. Our evolution in turn becomes our gift to the universe. Our shining radiates a beacon of light that enriches the tapestry of the universe. This is the great work we have come to perform. It is our inevitable destiny.

There are 5 faces to human evolution. They are the themes that motivate the actions we take in our lives. In other words everything we experience is directly impacted by them. They occur and move in a successive order. They are known as; The rewriting of our past; The acceptance of change; Presence; Dreaming and Self authority.

This weekend workshop will be a blend of Shamanic teachings and ceremonies designed to bring these faces into focus. You will awaken and enhance your relationship with the faces. This will empower you to make decisions and choices that will bring growth into your life. You will have the knowledge and tools to more effectively deal with the challenges and issues you encounter in your life. And you will experience more balance and peace with yourself, life and those around you.

Theme: Creating Alliances, Raising Consciousness, and Cultivating Professionalism

The real question is, who will not be there? These conferences attract some of the best in our field as well as returning, well-loved presenters from our conferences around the world over the last decade. Come and meet your spiritual family!

Currently working in the sacred sexual healing arts
In service to the world as a daka/dakini/tantrika
Beginning to realize that your calling as a sexworker has a more sacred dimension
Or desiring to incorporate sexuality into your healing work.

Spouses, partners, family members, and support people/friends of practitioners are also welcome. If you are not sure, give us a call and ask. This gathering is a delightful blend of innocence and experience, advanced and beginners, from the worlds of tantra, sexwork, sex education, escorting, bodywork, massage, counseling, therapy and spiritual awakening.

Why should you come?

Because sacred sexuality enriches our lives.
Because a career in sexuality is still such a taboo in this society.
Because it is healing to be with peers who understand the unique pressures and challenges of working in this field.
Because you are not alone.
Because we are learning so much emotionally, spiritually, legally, practically, financially, physically, holistically, and it is a blessing to share our wisdom with each other.
Because it is fun to be with people who can embrace and celebrate life.

What will I learn?

We will hear presentations from some of the most successful teachers and practitioners in our field. There will be a blend of presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and group wisdom circles with open discussions.

We also showcase new books and other educational tools as well as screening new documentaries and short films on Sacred Sexuality, its Teachers and Practitioners

Tantra retreat in the Drakensberg November: Are you coming?

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:27:00 +0000

Hello beloveds,

Let me know if you are considering doing this retreat as I need to confirm the venue in a couple of weeks' time.

Namaste
Shakti

Dragon's Nectar Tantra Intensive 20 - 25 November

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

Shakti, the presenter

Tantra Retreat in Knysna this September

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:26:00 +0000

Conscious Sexuality
A retreat for singles and couples
By Shakti Malan
at the Osho Neo Zen Monastery, Knysna Forest
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 consciousexpression 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 conscioussexuality 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 seeshakti.co.za. For more on her approach, see totalitytherapy.com. She is a member of the Advait Tantra School (see tantraschool.co.za)

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.

Uncoiling the Snake: Women's Retreat 22 - 26 October

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:22:00 +0000

Uncoiling the snake

A women's retreat by Shakti Malan

3 – 6 October 2008
n!au ma farm, Little Karoo

On female sexual energy

Sexual energy is a tremendous source of vitality and life force. When we own and live our sexual energy, we incarnate – we come to embody the goddess within. We wake up to the moment. Through our sexual flow as women, the worlds are birthed. And yet this potential lies dormant in so many of us. The snake, the kundalini, the origin of our embodied vitality, is there, at the base of the spine, but it slumbers, and it rarely gets touched.Until the wild woman in us wakes up to who she really is.

Uncoiling the snake

In my work with Tantra, an ancient eastern tradition that follows sexual energy as a doorway to consciousness, I have learnt that sexual awakening is linked to the opening of the chakras or "energy wheels" (represented by the spirals on the front page image). When the opening of the chakras happens in the body, it literally feels like an energy snake that uncoils at the base of the body and rises up through the crown of the head. For me personally, this rising brings a soft ecstasy that ripples onto the farthest shores of my life… It also brings a deep contentment with existence.

Sexual energy becomes illuminated when the repressions that block us at each of the chakras or energy points in the body are lifted. These repressions are the result of our conditioning, our patterning and the scars that are left by our life experiences. I believe that it is possible to bring our repressions to awareness and release them by working in a sacred circle of women.

What happens on the retreat

My focus is on the awakening of consciousness, not on teaching technique or improving performance (though these things follow of their own accord). I use the following methods to evoke awareness:

We process body memories through acting and embodiment.
We deepen awareness of female sexuality through breath work and other Tantric techniques.
We reflect on our stories and vision our "this-here-now" realities through creating with the earth and writing.
We meditate and do guided visualizations to deepen our awareness of essence flowing through us.
We use sound, chanting, movements and dancing focused on a particular expression of our sexual energy to awaken the body to its inherent knowing.
We have strong interactions with nature and the elements to reconnect us to our being-of-the-earth, the origin of our sexual energy.

The facilitator, Shakti Malan

I have been running retreats and courses on the Sacred Feminine for many years. I have a Ph.D. (UCT) in social anthropology. For more on me, see shakti.co.za and totalitytherapy.com

The venue

The farm n'au !ma, which is run in deep respect for nature as a place of retreat and ceremony, is situated between Montague and Ladysmith, at the foot of the Anysberg. Accommodation is provided in beautiful Karoo style houses with broad verandas, fireplaces, gas stoves and fridges. There is an exquisite kloof on the farm, and some delicious dams. The night sky of the Karoo is something to experience. The farm is about 4 – 5 hours from Cape Town, and 3 hours from George.

Bookings, costs and times

My facilitation fee is R1 600pp. Accommodation fees are by donation; the suggested fee is R160 per night. A deposit of R1 000 is required to secure your place and full payment is due by 14 October. The retreat will be limited to 12 women. Banking details:

Dr S.Malan

Account number: 073152811

Meals will be arranged amongst us.

The retreat will start Thursday 6pm and end Monday lunchtime.

A TASTE OF THE PATH OF LOVE

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:20:00 +0000

AWAKENING TO LOVE A TASTE OF THE PATH OF LOVE

Awakening to Love is a unique and powerful 2-day workshop designed to shake the cobwebs off your heart and give you a taste of the Path of Love.
For all sorts of reasons we find ourselves shut down or closed off and in a state of hurt and protection. This can show up as heartache, blame, isolation, unhealthy relationships, anger, resignation or addiction. We long for something else and we often don't know where to start looking.
Awakening of Love is for people who truly want change in their lives
We work with honest, loving self-exposure, supporting you to connect with your true value and essence through unique exercises and meditations. You will get clearer at reading, understanding and knowing your authentic self.
These two days will ignite your passion to realize your true potential and to live with an open heart. From this place of clarity, self-belief and trust, anything is possible.

We welcome you to join us on this awakening adventure.

Tantric Massage and Sensual Healing Massage

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:24:00 +0000

Just a reminder that what we offer at Shakti Gardens is not a "Pelvic release" nor an "Erotic Massage". Instead what you will receive is a healing process to de-stress and unwind, to bring about balance and harmony in mind, body and spirit.

Only after this is achieved can we start working along Meridian lines to enhance and raise the libido.

There is also balancing and intergration of the Chakra system with this healing process.

Nothing is rushed, we take our time and allow you to surrender into bliss!

At times we might find it necessary to guide you with certain breath-work, or to get you to focus on your own energies, this is to help enhance the healing process.

So, if it is a quick pelvic release you need, then we cannot help. If it is a healing process you are willing to experience, or enregy shifts you wish to feel, then talk to us. You might also wish to join us at one of our tantra Talks or Workshops to help you with this new path, a new journey of self discovery and inner healing. We want you to overcome past hurts, and to embrace a new more confident inner being.

Be blessed

Don

SEXPO

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 15:12:00 +0000

Yes its that time of the year and SEXPO is almost upon us.

We had great fun last year at SEXPO, also made some wonderful contacts and friends. Unfortunately this year it wont be possible for us to be there - unless we find a last minute sponsor! The stalls this year are slightly more expensive, also they no longer have the option of the smaller stall, and thus costs are just out of our reach for now.

Hopefully next year we will bounce back, take a stall and be part of this amazing Expo!

Be blessed

Tantra evening and discussion

noreply@blogger.com (Don Dreaming Eagle) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 00:36:00 +0000

Greetings everyone
This coming Saturday 12th September we will be hosting another of our Tantra Discussion evenings with Swami Rahasya (Director of the Advait Tantra School).

We are blessed and honored to have a teacher such as Swami Rahasya bless us with his presence, and his knowledge of Tantra. As usual he will share his profound knowledge with us and help us understand and de-mystify Tantra and the teachings of Osho. Many seekers have an ongoing quest for knowledge and understanding, as well as seeking various forms of alternative healing - and thus we continue to provide a platform to assist them by providing these discussion groups as well as workshops. Please feel free to forward this newsletter on to friends who might wish to join us, or who might be curious about Tantra and Osho. Maybe invite them to join you with us at Shakti Gardens.

If you have suggestions for our Discussion Groups or planned Workshops, please feel free to contact us via e-mail or perhaps call us and let us chat about your ideas. Should there be a specific topic you wish to have discussed just let us know. We want to hear from you with regards to what we can offer you at Shakti Gardens.

GODDESS WORKSHOPS & TANTRA CELEBRATION
Soon we will be hosting Goddess Workshops and possibly Medicine Wheel Workshops - these will be for women only and will be hosted by Dakini Sh'kina Moondancer. We have also been discussing and planning the possibility of a Puja, or celebration at Shakti Gardens. This will be for a mixed group and will involve meditation, breath-work, shifting energies, and Trance Dance.

VOLUNTEERS REQUIRED
We will be needing the assistance of volunteers for the upcoming 3 day conference in November. As always, there are many different functions to be fulfilled at an event such as this. We also have to look at setting up basic catering for this event. Any suggestions will be welcome.

First Annual Conference & Gathering for Sacred Sexuality Healers Practitioners - this South African Tour and 3 day Conference on Sacred Sexuality will be happening in November, 27-29! The conference will be hosted by members of Sedona Temple and the International School of Temple Arts (Arizona) together with members of the Advait Tantra School (JHB) and members of Shakti Gardens. Having recently completed a tour of Australia, teachers of the Sedona Temple will be visiting South Africa. We will keep you informed with more details as we make progress with our planning. The Johannesburg conference will take place at the Delta Environmental Park. For further updates to this event please check www.sedonatemple.com or our Blog page on Shakti Gardens website.

Dear friends

Being involved in this play is a blessing, it always reminds me how relentlessly one needs to keep going at it and create that special space within and without and hold it. Now back from a most amazing time in Australia, where I was assisting with Path of love process that was run by Turiya and 30+ staff members and co facilitators. We were 70 odd all together 2 hours out of Sydney, dancing exploring meditating and opening the heart wide open.. scary. This process is happening once a month all over the world, and we pray to make it happen here in Africa soon.

So for the first time in Africa come and get a taste of the PATH OF LOVE Process with Turiya herself, who is one of the founders of this marvelous process on Sat 19 September from 6-9 PM ( THIS MIGHT BE CHANGED TO A FULL DAY)

These next coming events are the essence of OSHO's work and the cutting edge in human potential and soul exploration.

Turiya Hanover is Back to cape town and Windhoek this September; she is on the forefront in this field as a pioneer and developer since more than 30 years.

Sw Videh is back from Poona India in October to offer another “disappear into the painting” journey into a wall size canvass tons of paints, mystery and you.

Halima Hein from Frankfurt Germany will be in Cape town in November to offer the OSHO Primal freedom , and OSHO Tantra - sexual de-conditioning workshops.

So come join the dance or enjoy yours
