Inspired by our Tantric teachers Diana and Michael Richardson we accompany couples on their journey from mind to body, from thinking to feeling. 2010 Dates:: 09. - 16. October 2010 16. - 23. April 2011 16. - 23. Juli 2011 *Our approved Teachers: Since we first started teaching Tantra in 1993 we have often been asked to offer training courses for people who wish to become teachers in our Tantric approach. We respond by saying it is not possible for us to do so because the ‘effort’ of discovering and learning Tantra is an inner, subjective pursuit, and not outer, objective techniques. Discovering Tantra happens through experiences within the body and not through ideas given to the mind. Our approach is a form of learning, or self training, that is dependent on individual commitment, couple commitment, discipline and regular practice. As you learn, you teach yourself. Developing the capacity to teach and guide others is dependent on inner experiences, and transforming sex into a conscious meditative loving expression. Through this very process itself, which requires many years, the understanding and experience required to guide other people is gradually gained.  We are able to recognise in our students certain ‘essential qualities’  which arise as by-products of inner transformation. Qualities which we understand to be necessary for ‘teaching’ successfully. When we begin to see the required transformation present in both individuals within a couple, we know they are ‘ready’ to begin to guide other couples. Naturally courses led by our approved teachers will differ slightly to the courses lead by ourselves because individuals are unique. However the content and the sequence of the week, as designed and copyrighted by us, remains the same. We cannot be held responsible in any way by people participating in the courses offered by our approved teachers. At the same time we continue to support and guide our teachers in their teaching and in their personal exploration of Tantra. In the Tantric sphere we use the term ‘teachers’ very lightly in the sense that we know that learning, deepening and refining in Tantra  never really stops, it is a lifelong journey which makes each one of us eternal students of life and love.
