Description:
Where are you on your journey with your womanhood and sexuality? With your body? With the larger world? What are you wanting to create? What are you wanting to tranform?
Let's harness the power of planting seeds for our future using our conscious sensual life force.
During the class portion, we'll incorporate tantric breathing and meditation, sensual movement, inner inquiry, and ritual magic to create a rich tapestry of investigation and integration. No doubt there will be synergy amongst the group.
Learn Sex Magic Rituals to add intentionality to your practices.
We'll do exercises to awaken the energy through all of our 7 chakras and then begin our sacred internal ritual cultivating our sensual fire to add it to the people, places, things, and personal growth and healing we want to connect to moving forward in our lives.
I will answer any questions you may have, share some of what I have learned about relevant topics and share some of my journey of creating with sexual energy.
PRACTICAL DETAILS:
* Women only
* All the exercises are optional. You have 100% full agency to participate at your comfort level.
*There is optional nudity and optional self stimulation (self pleasuring), but no sexual interaction with other women. Additionally, Lauren will offer modification options (i.e. someone can meditate in the space feeling the energy).

**A note: Please come as you are. Women are like mother nature. Sometimes we are the storms: the hurricane, the tsunami, the dust storm; and sometimes we are like a cool breeze on a hot summer day, or the hot sun caressing skin after jumping into a cold crisp lake. This is a 100% non-judgemental, unconditionally loving space. We will all benefit from where every person is at. The beautiful thing about sexual energy is that it is a transformer. It can turn rage and grief into ecstasy, and ecstasy into power and creation. We'll ride the waves in a group soup to make all our magical manifestations with.

What is Tantra Yoga?
Well, for starters, it's not what you saw in the movie American Pie! Tantra is thousands of years old and has become a buzzword, which unfortunately has some misleading definitions. Translated from Sanskrit, it means "weaving," which we have come to understand as oneness. Bringing oneness to yourself and consciousness to what you do. The exercises involving breathing and meditation that are a part of Tantra are designed to bring you into a state of being more present. And who doesn't want to be more present, right?
What is a Puja?
A Puja is an intentional ceremony. Translated from Sanskrit it means reverence, honor, an offering. It is a ritual designed to open our hearts and allow us to see the inner beauty within ourselves and all beings. It invites us into the elegant dance of masculine and feminine in a warm space of oneness and connection with ourselves and thereby transferring energy to your world around you.
What are some of the exercises?
We’ll do some basic connection exercises at the beginning: breathing, meditation, light sensual movement, speaking a vulnerability, eye-gazing, dance, conscious touch (holding hands, hands on heart). And you’re always invited to go as deep as you choose.
What if I don’t feel comfortable doing the exercises?
Thanks for asking! We take consent very seriously. While the exercises are straightforward and fun—and we have been told we do an excellent job creating a safe container—you are always 100% at choice for how you wish to participate. Just like in yoga, when you find a pose you’re not comfortable with, you have the option to modify, or completely opt out of any exercise. Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own comfort level, and we will go over what that looks like at each event, so everyone is clear before we begin.
What is the schedule for each event?
What is the cancellation/refund policy?
We want you to have a great time at our event. However, life happens, and sometimes you can't make it. If you cancel 24 hours or more before the event you can get a full refund via EventBrite. If you cancel within 24 hours of event start time (or you are late and miss the ceremony start), we can move your ticket to the next event as a one-time courtesy, provided you
