“Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. They are two aspects of the same coin. A person who does not know how to be with himself cannot truly relate with others. And vice versa: the person who is not capable of being with others, of relating, will find it very difficult to relate with himself, because the art of relating is the same.

These arts have to be learned together, simultaneously; they are inseparable.” Osho

More about Gopal

DJ Jan-Michael is a London-based Ecstatic Dance DJ and music producer. His ‘rapture’ Ecstatic Dance DJ sets lean towards high energy, bass heavy tracks across many genres. 

RAPTURE is a conscious dance club fusion – gathering the energy usually spared for the peak of the ecstatic dance wave and give it to you in bucket loads!

Ed’s work weaves together Tantra and Shadow Work to help people connect with their natural aliveness, and bring all of themselves into their intimacy and expression.

“I got a really strong sense of what it is to be emotionally blocked at a young age when my own wounding led me to be stuck for years with chronic illness. Nothing has ever come close to bringing me alive like this work and nothing else feels as important.”

Ed now leads several of the workshops in the Living Tantra Programme, as well as offering a range of programmes for men focusing on the themes of sexuality, archetypal empowerment, intimacy and shadow.

She is offering a unique workshop at The Intimacy Gathering, Sexual Healing.

The aim of the workshop is to let go of any pain you may hold in your sexuality, which stops you from moving forward and enjoying healthy sexual experiences. Sanjula will bring her unique skills as an Osho Leela Therapist and healer. You will be invited to let go through bodywork, breathe, healing and meditation.

When we journey through life, there is the possibility of getting hurt and when we hold this hurt in the body, it stops us from feeling joy and aliveness. Her workshop is an invitation to move back into Celebration.
