While many of those in our collective are teachers of massage, yoga, tantra, dance and more, the following are those whom we hold in particular high esteem to recommend to you for those seeking out personal growth, guidance, advanced education and daka & dakini initiation. All of these teachers are also capable to present high-quality workshops and retreats on their own and in combination with others. If you are planning a workshop or retreat at your own healing center/yoga studio, these are people we highly recommend to bring on board! Stay tuned for upcoming highlighted offerings from these teachers locally here in the Bay Area!

Our Last Sacred Council Was "A Lovevolution!"
Greetings All!
Our last Sacred Council was on Thursday evening (7/16/09) in San Rafael. We hosted "A Lovevolution" with DreamingBear (www.dreamingbear.net ~ www.lovevolution.net), Shivakti (www.templeofbliss.com), Tobin Giblin (www.TobinGiblin.com), Tyler Nilson (www.bodymudras.com), Makaylah, Elizabeth Bast (www.tantrictemple.org), and more.
We discussed our views on how to awaken and embody the Divine Masculine & the Divine Feminine in our being and ways of relating with one another.
The Men spoke about what they are calling out for in the Divine Feminine, ways they need her to show up in their lives, that they may best be supported in fully embodying the Divine Masculine, and the women speaking likewise.
And we received beautiful poetry transmissions from DreamingBear, on Sacred Love & Being Kissed into Consciousness!
We gathered in love, tender hearts, truth, freedom, & joy!
Together we learned ways to best co-create this Shamanic Tantric Communion: within ourselves, within our relationships, and supported within our community.
ALOHA!

Your Beautiful Presence is Requested!
Temple of Bliss is forming an integrated intensive weekend of Remembering Union: A Transformational Healing Journey to be offered to the blessed beings of our community. We invite your attendance to receive the jewels from our Collective of Teachers/Presenters in the format of “A Sacred Council” on “The Art of Shamanic Tantric Communion.” Together we will learn ways to best co-create this Shamanic Tantric Communion: within ourselves, within our relationships, and supported within our community.

What is the Art of Shamanic Tantric Communion?
Here, Shamanic means “Accessing Authentic Truth,” and Tantric means “Awakening the Heaven Within.” By acting impeccably in the world, we create an atmosphere within and around us which not only nurtures our own development as human beings, but also betokens our ecstatic entry into the realm of self–awakening. We will need to be brave to open to the reality of who we are, but being brave in this context is simply having the courage to wake up to who we really are, to open ourselves thoroughly and honestly to this basic expression of what it means to be alive, to look deep within the mirror, the crystal temple of the Soul. We ALL have our work to do and we may be clumsy as we learn how to be truly impeccable, thus we call upon Compassion & Permission for ourselves and for others as we learn our way Home, 'Remembering Union' to our highest way of being & relating.
And so, The Art of Shamanic Tantric Communion requires the sensitivity to be completely, intentionally present, the willingness to feel raw emotional vulnerability, the openness to explore the unknown, and the courage to let the genie out of the bottle, completely transforming the way you see the world and your place within it. There is the potential of entering altered states of consciousness, where you may receive ecstatic visions and transmissions. Ask for what you want to receive. The Infinite Love of the Universe wants to play with you.
