Tantra embraces life in all its aspects. Tantra loves the human being\, the man\, the woman\, YOU. Through this acceptance\, celebration and love can unfold in every detail of your daily life. \nTantra takes you to live in a higher state of consciousness\, transforming a mechanical life into a vital life experience\, full of joy and expansion as well as grounding and presence. \nWhat are we offering?\nThere is a wide variety of tools & methods we are using in these workshops: \n* Tantra Meditation\, Ritual & Ancient Wisdom\n* Healing & Heart Opening\n* Move beyond the Mind into Authentic Relating\n* Breathwork\n* Massage and Conscious Touch\n* Dance & Movement\n* Sharing Circles & Conscious Communication\n* Awakening your Senses & Body Painting\n* Connection with Nature \nBy embracing tantra as your lifestyle\, you will get:\n\nMore Aliveness & Vitality\nDeeper Understanding of your Body and Energy Flow\nTrust in your Instincts & Intuition to Make Conscious Decisions\nIncreased Sensitivity\nEnhanced Natural Wildness & Creativity\nKnowledge about Ancestral Tantra Wisdom\nIntegrated Meditations\, Rituals and Tantra Method in your Daily Life\nA Balance of Body\, Mind & Emotions\nA Fresh Imprint in your Somatic Memory\nA Higher Quality of Life\, Embracing its Simplicity and the many Flavors\nMore Fulfillment in your Sexuality through Presence & Love\nA Coming Back Home to Nature and your Natural Self\nNourishing Connections\, and Spiritual Intimacy between you and your Friends or Partners.\nExperience what it means to Living Orgasmically\n\nModule III\, “She and He are One” – The Sun and Moon within \nMay 22 – 24\, 2026 \nWe are discovering and exploring the integration of the inner masculine and feminine in a playful way. Tantra states that each woman carries an internal masculine\, and each man an internal feminine. In ancient tantric teachings this is referred to as ‘Ardhanarishvara’. Science confirms what tantra discovered millennia ago\, that we have 46 chromosomes\, 23 come from the mother\, and 23 from the father. This dance of bipolarity exists in every human being and in nature\, such as the sun and the moon\, day and night\, winter and summer. This module will take you from duality to unity. \n\nBalance female and male polarities within \nHarmonise your energies of action and stillness\nIf you are a woman\, you will discover and integrate your inner masculinity\nIf you are a man\, you will discover and integrate your inner femininity\nGo beyond the duality of mind\, and become one\nTransform male and female limited conditioning\, to the true male and female essential qualities\nFeel empathy and understanding in your relationships \nLearn how to rise in love instead of “falling in love”\nLive accordingly to the rhythm of the moon (female energy)\nLive inspired by the sun cycles (male energies)\nExperience the vast inner sky. No sun\, no moon\, rejoicing with the first morning\, and the first evening star\, timeless union\n\nWhat participants say:\n\nIt was beautiful. The sessions were really lovely\, very gentle. We did some creativity workshops as well as healing\, breathing exercises and chakra meditations. Tantra in the West has a really strong s*xual flavour and it’s not really about that. \nDimitri\nIt’s definitely an in-depth exploration and a journey\, which you go on with a group\, so it’s a beautiful container to grow in over time. It was really helpful to learn more about circulating energy through the chakras and to get precise guidance. It felt really expansive and exciting\, and a very interesting way to play with energy. It was a very gentle\, subtle and sweet learning experience. \nAurora\nOne of the things I have loved most about this experience is having the old school tantra\, rituals\, devotion\, working with energy\, breathwork and intention.  this is really meaningful for me because it is hard to find that in England in my experience as there is a lot of neo tantra so it is lovely to have something that the richeness and depth of ancient tradition and wisdom. I also want to share how beautiful it was for me to have Maite singing with her guitar to support us in song. There is something very special about singing in community and to be in devotion through music and song so i’ve really enjoye that she brought her gifts. I’ve had a lovely experience. \nHarmony Isgolde\nIt has been a beautiful four module experience for me\, especially to do this with my beloved; to look at the shadows and the connection between us and how to deepen that\, and also the shadows within myself between the feminine and the masculine has been really great to explore. The whole experience has been really enlightening and brings beauty and joy to the heart. \nPremesh\nI have just completed the LTE and I am so full of love\, I feel amazing. It is such a safe\, gentle space that has been held here. This last 5 months there have been beautiful connections\, beautiful friendships… I highly recommend this to anybody. \nCressida\nI have had a really deep\, meaningful and spiritual journey into myself that has helped me to understand me and others and to open my heart to everyone. \nPrem TuriyaLife Tantra Experience – Training Level 1 Workshop Dates 2026:\n\n\nMarch 20 – 22: Module I “The Tantra Map” Cosmic Blueprint for Living Fully\nApril 17 – 19: Module II\, “The Tantric Vision of the Body and the Senses”\nMay 22 – 24: Module III “She and He are One” The Sun and Moon within\nJune 26 – 28: Module IV\, “Devotional Tantra” – Union\, Love & Meditation\n\nPlease note – This is not a facilitator training.

It’s about remembering your aliveness\, moving from the heart\, and reconnecting with your essential vitality. \nRolando Toro \n\nWho is this for … \n✔️ Curious newcomers ready to taste the joy and depth of Biodanza \n✔️ Past students and graduates of Dorset School of Biodanza or other schools looking to reconnect \n✔️ Teachers seeking inspiration and community \n✔️ Lovers of movement\, music\, and embodied connection \n✔️ Supporters of the next generation of Biodanza facilitators \n\n\n\nMila and Anna bring a lively\, heart-led dance partnership that lights up the room: grounded presence meets playful curiosity\, steady holding meets spontaneous joy. Their shared energy and intuitive attunement create a safe\, electric field where dancers feel seen & encouraged to be authentically you! Together Mila and Anna weave warmth\, creativity and transcendence —sparking moments of laughter\, release and deep connection that ripple through the group and awaken fresh aliveness in every body….. \n\n\nWhat to Expect \nFriday: After a nourishing meal sourced from Leela’s grounds\, we settle into a grounding Vivencia of vitality and earth to drop into our bodies and the group. \nSaturday: Rise into restorative Yoga Nidra\, then move through two dance journeys that explore the expansive interplay of yin and yang — dancing affectivity & water\, sexuality & fire. \nSaturday Evening: Optional sauna\, improvisation with Mila\, sacred ceremony with Anna\, and other delightful offerings. \nSunday: Begin with nourishing Yoga Nidra\, then ascend into the realm of transcendence and air — dancing toward union\, oneness\, and a profound spiritual connection to Source. \nFinal integration Vivencia & sharing circle: to honour and digest the journey\, leaving you replenished in body\, heart\, and soul. \nThis is a weekend for experienced dancers and beginners alike and will feature four full length vivencias\, two each from Mila & Anna plus a Saturday evening happening to be decided. \nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nWhat We Will Explore … \nThroughout the weekend we exchange conscious touch and contact with yourself\, a partner\, small groups\, and the collective field as we work with the five lines of vivencia. \n• Earth & Vitality (yang): grounding practices that nourish stability and belonging. \n• Water & Affectivity (yin): receptive practices that soothe and restore emotional flow. \n• Fire & Sexuality (yang): expressive practices that ignite vitality\, play\, and joy. \n• Air & Transcendence (yin): opening practices that expand the heart toward communication with the divine. \nConscious touch weaves yin and yang — affectionate\, sensitive\, and invigorating; empathetic and enlivening — bringing balance and integration. Guided with respect and heart-led intention\, this full spectrum of elemental\, yin–yang contact is deeply healing\, restorative and life-affirming. \nThis workshop offers a full-body\, holistic reset of your nervous system\, leaving you feeling nurtured\, connected\, included\, loved\, and deeply refreshed. \n\nAnna Sadler\, facilitator \nBiodanza Teacher\, Soul Midwife\, Director of No One Dies Alone Cornwall C.I.C\n \n\nMy dance journey began at age three with formal training that laid the foundation for the healing service I now offer in Biodanza. I trained with Niraj at the Dorset School of Biodanza in 2017 and have been facilitating ever since. Biodanza\, for me\, is far more than movement — it is a journey of cultivating a compassionate heart. Based in Cornwall\, I lead women’s Biodanza\, family sessions\, and a trusted regular group with committed dancers. I’m passionate about creating sacred spaces where dancers are invited into soulful connection\, to shine both on and off the dance floor. \nI’m also Director and Founder of No One Dies Alone Cornwall C.I.C.\, where I facilitate bereavement circles\, grief dances\, and holistic end-of-life support\, including companionship for the dying. This work brings compassionate\, tender care to individuals and families at times that matter most\, and it deeply informs the empathy and presence I bring to all my teaching. \n\nMilarepa Burgin\, facilitator \nMy first experience of Biodanza was with Niraj during the Spring Festival at Osho Leela in 2006. That initial vivencia had a deeply profound effect on my life\, something which continues to resonate even now\, and I remember saying to Niraj “if you ever decide to train people in this\, you can count me in”. \nAfter almost 20 years of dancing\, with nearly 15 of those years as a facilitator\, it feels that life has come full-circle as we now welcome a new cohort to Osho Leela to begin a new cycle of this incredible training. Whether you see yourself as a future teacher or simply want to enhance and enrich your own life with greater levels of expression and connection\, the Biodanza facilitator training is\, in my opinion\, unparalleled in it’s depth and breadth and provides each participant with a unique insight into their own life and into the experience of living. \nWe look forward to welcoming you to the dance floor and to a deeper understanding of just what it is to be alive. \n\nWhy This Workshop Matters \nIn a culture of constant overstimulation\, Radiant Balance offers a rare\, embodied pause to restore nervoussystem in to a place of harmony. By working with yin and yang through movement\, touch\, music\, and the four elements\, you’ll integrate emotional regulation\, vitality\, and presence—not just as a temporary relief but as lasting resources for daily life. Practiced in a held\, heartled container\, the retreat fosters real connection\, deeper selfunderstanding\, and creativity\, leaving you nourished\, grounded\, and more able to meet yourself and others with compassion and care. \n\n\nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel \n\nDetails \n\n\n\n——————————- \nBiodanza Weekends\n \nStart weekend: Friday May 22nd @ (Arrive from 5pm on the Friday to settle in\, dinner is at 7pm\, the training commences at 8.15pm) \nEnd: Sunday May 24th @ 5:00pm \n\n\nPrice weekend: £310 (includes workshop & food)\n \nEarly bird till May 1st: £280 \nNote: You can make a payment plan\, the total price should be full paid before the retreat is starting. \nAccommodation is not included in the price and can be selected separately during checkout via the booking link. \nCheck out our accommodation & facilities here. \n\n\n\n\nBook here!Powered by Workshop Angel URL:https://osholeela.uk/event/biodanza-radiant-balance-yin-yang/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://osholeela.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/BANNER-NEW-YINYANG.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260603T110000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260607T163000 DTSTAMP:20260510T040213 CREATED:20260106T162457Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260421T113344Z UID:47186-1780484400-1780849800@osholeela.uk SUMMARY:Emergent Eros DESCRIPTION:Emergent Eros 2026 \nWednesday 3rd June till Sunday 7th June \nThere is a longing that doesn’t come from lack.\nIt comes from having tasted something true and knowing there is more. \nMore depth.\nMore intimacy.\nMore aliveness. \nYou’ve already done inner work — attended workshops or festivals\, touched moments of profound openness and connection — and still find yourself seeking something real that endures. \nYou’re tired of peak experiences that promise transformation\, yet don’t support what it takes to stay present in the unpolished\, uncertain\, everyday moments. \nYou’re done with spaces that celebrate intensity\, but shy away from the relational truth of sitting with another human in all their beauty and messiness. \nIn a culture shaped by speed\, performance\, and curated selves\, even the most committed seekers can find their capacity for sustained presence quietly eroding. \nEmergent Eros is an invitation into a more truthful rhythm of relating. \nA creative\, relational space where intimacy is lived rather than performed — shaped over time and held in community. \nOffered for the third year running\, Emergent Eros is a new paradigm in conscious sexuality gatherings. \nCurated and hosted by Gayatri Beegan\, and co-created with a handpicked team of leading facilitators in intimacy and relational practice\, embodiment and movement\, music and ecstatic dance\, eros\, and sacred ceremony. \nThe theme for the 2026 gathering is: Let’s get real — and a little bit messy. \nA rebellion against the airbrushed perfectionism of the digital age.\nA reclamation of your wild\, vulnerable human self — in all its perfect imperfection.\nA space to meet complexity with curiosity\, courage\, and care.\nTo be more honestly human — together. \n“After Emergent Eros\, I’m looking at people differently and don’t mind people looking at me. I’m chatting to strangers at the shops with ease. This is so profound for me. I don’t feel as ashamed of myself and my body and this reflects in how I’m viewing my world. It’s life changing.” – Lauren \nImagine a place where you get to…\n \n💜 Inhabit your body more fully\, so that sensation\, pleasure\, and presence can expand into richer\, more alive experiences. \n💜 Feel resourced and supported enough to meet your edges\, so that growth happens through curiosity and choice rather than pressure or performance. \n💜 Practise intimacy in grounded\, relational ways that ripple out into your world – how you meet lovers\, friends\, and community beyond the event. \n💜 Taste the nourishment of real human connection\, so that your body\, heart\, and soul remember what it is to be met — and to meet others — fully. \n💜 Awaken a renewed sense of awe and aliveness\, so that intimacy becomes a source of creativity\, meaning\, and vitality in your life. \nMeet your Facilitators \nGayatri Beegan \nGayatri (she/her) is the curator and host of Emergent Eros.

She weaves together the sacred and science in a trauma-informed approach working with clients worldwide through coaching\, group programmes\, and retreats. Madalaine leads Embodied Love the sister conscious intimacy gathering at Leela for those 40 and under. \n“Having never attended a Leela event before\, I wasn’t sure what lay ahead. From the moment I arrived I was welcomed and able to relax. Despite challenges on the journey I took at Emergent Eros\, I felt supported and safe throughout the week and had a wonderful time learning\, growing and healing. I am already recommending it to friends and looking at how I can continue my own development.” – Patrick \nWhat you can expect\n\nIntimacy\nIntimacy is not something to perform or achieve — it is something to inhabit\, practise\, and feel. You will be guided by experienced facilitators of intimacy and relational practice\, touch and eros\, embodiment and movement\, offering pathways into deeper presence with yourself and with others.\nThis is an exploration of intimacy as a lived experience: sensing your body\, tracking your boundaries\, opening to connection\, and staying with what is true in the moment. Intimacy that is slow enough to be real\, spacious enough to include complexity\, and grounded enough to ripple into how you relate beyond the festival. \nCreativity\nCreativity flows through the festival in many forms — music\, ecstatic dance\, movement\, and sacred ceremonial space. These are not offered as performances to consume\, but as invitations to participate\, explore\, and express yourself in ways that feel authentic and alive.\nThe schedule offers a sense of the journey we will embark upon together\, while remaining responsive to what is emerging in the collective field\, allowing the festival to unfold with vitality and integrity. \nCommunity\nEmergent Eros is held within a strong container of care and collective support. The event is supported by a dedicated Care Team\, sharing pods\, and intentional periods of integration and restoration.\nTogether\, facilitators\, care team\, and participants co-create a field where depth\, safety\, and connection can grow — not as an ideal\, but as a lived experience of being human together.\nHow we do this matters. To support a space that feels safe enough for real exploration — and an experience that enlivens our intimacy and eros — we hold a clear Code of Engagement. This is a shared agreement we enter into as a community\, outlining how we care for ourselves\, one another\, and the collective space.\n\nBy joining the event\, you are agreeing to participate in and uphold these shared agreements. You can read the full Code of Engagement here.\nTo cultivate this sense of connection beyond the days we gather in person\, we come together for two Community Connection Calls in the lead-up to the event\, and an Integration Call afterwards — offering space to arrive resourced\, reflect on what has been lived\, and carry it into everyday life. \n\n\nThe Pillars of our Togetherness\nCuriosity\, Playfulness & Innocence\nReleasing old scripts and stories around sexuality and returning to a sense of original innocence. Letting go of assumptions\, expectations\, and preconceptions\, and inviting aliveness through curiosity and play. Moving beyond what we think we know and expanding into the emergent moment. \nPermission\, Acceptance & Attunement\nPermission to be you\, and to bring all of you into the space. Acceptance of difference in our embodiment and expression. Cultivating harmonious and respectful connections with Self\, Other\, and Spirit. \nDiversity & Inclusivity\nWe acknowledge that personal development spaces in the UK — particularly within Tantra and Sacred Sexuality — are predominantly White\, cis-gendered\, heterosexual\, and able-bodied. We are committed to fostering an environment that supports all beings in moving beyond inherited conditioning and unconscious bias\, towards a more inclusive and welcoming world — in service of liberation for all. \nMessiness & Humanity\nWe are not only individuals on our own journeys\, but social beings in a shared\, collective space. We acknowledge the complex — and sometimes messy — nature of human relating\, especially as we question assumptions and loosen long-held preconceptions in order to imagine new ways of being together. \nAwe & Reverence\nWe welcome a wider spectrum of human experience — from grief to joy\, from playfulness to reverence. Reconnecting with humility\, awe\, and wonder\, and remembering what it is to stand in service to life itself. \nMeet your Care Team \nLisa Collins \nLisa (she/her) is a qualified counsellor and coach with 20 years’ professional experience in Human Resources\, specialising in complex casework. \nFor the past eight years\, she has held sacred sexuality and intimacy spaces for individuals\, couples\, and groups\, and offers traditional Kambo ceremonies\, a transformational Amazonian frog medicine.

He is nourished by time in the wild\, playfulness and depth. \nFiona Bradley Poole \nFiona is an artist\, singer and devotee of the heart.

She now lives in Cornwall where she facilitates spaces for authentic connection\, intimacy\, song and community. \nGuy Murray \nGuy is curious about the intersection of depth psychology\, embodiment and spiritual development\, and how relationships can become spaces for transformation.

Sorrel loves the crazy\, beautiful journey of life and values connecting deeply with others in mutual joy\, love and respect. She looks forward to supporting participants and tending the field of connection at Emergent Eros. \n“Emergent Eros was utterly transformational\, and that is because I felt so held and safe. I was able to drop into my body and trust the different processes offered by incredible facilitators. I have already raved about how amazing this retreat was\, because the friends who have seen me can see the brightness in my skin and eyes. I am SO much more alive\, and truly full of gratitude.” – Loveday \nMeet your Artists & Musicians \nDJ Anahata (Grant) \nDJ Anahata (he/him) is a resident DJ and facilitator for EcstaticDanceUK.

By listening deeply and intuitively to the particular flavour of what is emerging\, Yoyo reveals a conversation. Insatiably curious\, Yoyo’s creativity invites communication – with the space\, the energy\, the body – that goes beyond words and opens up new perspectives. It’s not about the paintings\, it’s about what happens amidst the paintings. \nFran Loze \nFran comes from a family of musicians. She has performed and recorded music in a wide variety of genres\, with orchestras and ensembles\, for theatre productions\, English folk dances\, at festivals\, and for 5Rhythms and contact improvisation classes. Fran brings a wealth of experience\, sensitivity and creativity to her playing. She loves to dance too and to explore the interplay between musicians and dancers; she likens it to a wordless conversation\, a co-creation and exploration of the space where inner worlds meet outer reality. \nDJ Wayne Powell \nWayne’s journey with music took him into the mid-Wales rave scene\, drawn by the pulse of underground culture and the spirit of the sound system. Some of his first sets were played on the back of carnival floats weaving together drum & bass and hardcore on vinyl. These days\, Wayne still carries that raw love for movement and rhythm\, but the intention has shifted. Stepping away from the haze that once surrounded the scene\, he now plays as part of the conscious dance wave – offering sets that are grounding\, uplifting\, and alive. \n“The workshop leaders were excellent: skilled\, caring\, and fully present. It felt like we were all on a shared journey\, opening our hearts and exploring intimacy in a way that felt safe\, respectful\, and well held. For me\, it created a deep sense of connection with myself and with others… I left feeling happier\, more confident\, and more loving… It truly was a powerful experience of intimacy in community\, and I’m so grateful I took part. I have beautiful new friends and an open heart to move forward in my life.” – Anya \nWho is this for? \n💜 You read the invitation and feel a sense of aliveness or resonance in your body. \n💜 You’re curious about exploring intimacy and sexuality in expansive\, emergent\, and relational ways. \n💜 You’ve already been on a journey of personal growth and feel a genuine call to explore intimacy\, sexuality\, and embodiment more deeply. \n💜 You have the capacity to care for yourself in a group space — including knowing when and how to ask for support. \n💜 You value being part of a culture that attends to the bigger picture\, including care\, consent\, inclusivity\, and diversity\, and you want to be in spaces that support this. \n  \nWho is this not for?\n💜 You feel bored\, confused\, or unmoved by this invitation. \n💜 You’re seeking a sexualised environment or casual sexual encounters rather than a relational\, consent-based container. \n💜 You’re completely new to personal development\, particularly in the realms of intimacy\, sexuality\, and embodiment. \n💜 You are currently in active trauma\, feel easily overwhelmed in group spaces\, or are unable to ask for support when needed. \n💜 You’re not interested in the wider relational and cultural context\, or in how your presence impacts others. \n” I left reminded how it is to experience the world from love” – Hagen \nPricing\, Reciprocity & Sustainability \nEmergent Eros is held with a high level of care\, attention\, and responsibility. This includes the support offered before the gathering\, the depth of facilitation during the event itself\, and the integration held afterwards. This level of care is central to the experience. \nWhile the true cost of offering this depth of care is higher\, our pricing reflects a balance between honouring the work involved and remaining mindful of the wider financial context in which many people are making choices.

We trust that this option will be used with care by those who genuinely need this support. \n\n“I was not expecting to have such a profoundly healing and connecting experience at Emergent Eros.

We recommend having a clear conversation in advance about how you will navigate any triggers or challenges as a couple. \nDo I have to attend everything on the schedule?\nNo. We invite you to follow your own authority — to pace yourself\, honour your body and its needs\, and allow space for integration. Integration time is built into the schedule. \nDo I have to get naked?\nNo. You can attend the entire event with your clothes on. Some spaces and sessions may be clothing-optional\, which means others may choose to be naked.

We request that you honour this as part of the experience.Will there be a café?The Leela coffee shop will be open daily. Serving coffee and sweet treats.Will there be treatments?

The Wellbeing Centre will be open\, with qualified practitioners and therapists offering treatments during the event. \nHow is this different from the earlier Conscious Sexuality Festivals at The Leela Centre?\nAt Emergent Eros\, we are committed to creating and evolving a distinct approach to sexuality events. \nThis means that\, to the best of our capacity for an event of this scale: \n\nparticipants are supported to assess their readiness and resourcing before attending\npeople are encouraged to tune into their capacity and choose workshops accordingly\, rather than pushing through\nperiods of rest and integration are intentionally woven into the programme\na clear Code of Engagement supports group cohesion and safety\na Code of Conduct guides the Facilitation and Care Teams in their responsibility to the event\npower dynamics between team and participants are actively acknowledged and addressed\ngroup dynamics are held with awareness\, recognising their impact on choice and agency\n\nHow is this different/similar to Emergent Eros last year at Leela?\nWe’ve taken the feedback from the first Emergent Eros and evolved the offering to give you more choice\, more agency\, and more exploration. \nOver the course of the festival\, you have the choice of two streams of experience: Yang and Yin. \nYang: raising energy up\, the quality of fire\, enlivenment and expansion \nYin: drawing energy down\, the quality of water\, nourishment and restoration \nWorkshop to workshop you get to tune into what feels right for you. \nWill there be a Love Lounge/Garden of Earthly Delights? \nThere will be a held space in the evenings for sensual connection and exploration. The clear boundary of this space is no penetration. \nWhy is there an intake process? Why can’t I just book?\nWe want to support readiness and resourcing for all participants before they join the event. The intake process helps ensure that people are entering with awareness of their capacity\, needs\, and boundaries\, supporting a safer and more coherent group experience for everyone. \nCan I pay in instalments?\nYes. Monthly payment plans are available for all ticket types. Payments must be completed before the event begins. The earlier you book\, the more accessible the monthly payments will be. \nWhat’s the refund/cancellation policy?

Then you are \nneither in the past nor in the future nor even in the present; you simply are. There is no time – you \ncannot relate yourself with time. So the best definition of meditation is ’a state of no-time’ or ’a \nstate of no-mind’.” \nOSHO : “The Sun Rises in the Evening” chapter 1. \nYour Facilitators\nPrem Shunyo & MarcoPrem Shunyo has been practicing OSHO meditation techniques for forty-five years\, during which time she has travelled extensively throughout the world conducting workshops\, trainings and meditation retreats. \nShunyo’s training in meditation and awareness began whilst living for fourteen years in close contact with Osho\, as part of his personal staff. \nDuring the twenty years she was living in the OSHO International Meditation Resort she trained as a facilitator in Osho Mystic Rose\, as well as hypnosis for meditation and all of Osho’s meditation techniques. \nMusic and movement are an important part of Shunyo’s work in her courses\, and this\, coupled with her intuitive\, heartfelt way of working\, allows participants to touch very deep levels of peace and silence. Music by Veet Marco has been specifically created as a support in the meditations. \nShunyo is the director of the OSHO Institute for Vipassana and Zazen. (www.oshovipassana.com)\nHer book\, that Osho asked her to write\, is translated in many languages – the English title is “My Diamond Days with Osho”. \nVeet Marco\nMusician and spiritual seeker\, in 1979 became a disciple of Osho\, and has since experimented with sounds and music applied to meditation.\nSince 1995 he plays live in events and meditation groups worldwide.\nHe has composed many CDs for meditation available on www.meditantra.com\, click on the picture above for more info. These meditations are ancient tantric liberation techniques. \nFor more info about Shunyo & Marco\, click the picture above!\n\n‘A Meditating seminar\, a Vipassana retreat or a Meditation Training with Shunyo is a delight. \n\n\nSimplicity is what Shunyo transmits – her many years with Osho permeates the whole atmosphere and \n\n\nthroughout the seminars her inner silence and presence “points out” the direction. \n\n\nHer laughter and easiness\, her joy and her love is a precious support. \n\n\nTime with Shunyo is a journey towards “being in meditation”  – love and gratitude’ \n\n\nDhairya\, Director\, A&D Tantricheart\n\n\nDear Shunyo\,\nI loved working with you and Marco last year. It was an immense pleasure\, and I could not have wished for a better experience.\nFrom the very first moment\, I perceived something unique in you: a deep and simple gentleness\, a living in your heart that inspired me and that I immediately wanted to cultivate within myself.\nIn the silence\, a thought came to me: I cannot imagine exactly what the master’s energy is live\, but if I try\, I imagine it to be similar to your essence.Thank you again for everything you have transmitted to me\, for your presence and for your example.\nIn the meantime\, I will always carry with me the warmth of these shared moments. \n\nNirav Geet\, Switserland\n\n‘Shunyo and Marco brought such a precious gift with their work. \nI am so thrilled to have been in such a beautiful group with them. \nThe music was so fitting with the meditations and really celebrative\, and then came the full and joyful emersion into silence.’ \n\nPrasuna\, Ibiza‘I have been participating in Osho’s “Book of Secrets” based meditation groups offered by Shunyo and Marco since… maybe 20 years. And every time is as the first time: powerful energy experiences\, heart opening dimensions\, touching music notes\, rhythms and tunes… very supportive to the specific technic. \nThe “Book of Secrets” techniques as proposed by them are based\, of course\, on Osho’s words\, but the way they have structured the meditation with those words is genial and very effective. \nIn these courses I have understood very well what it means that “energy follows imagination”. \nI am very grateful for the loving support\, sensitivity and insight of Shunyo and to the lightness and friendly easiness of Marco. With them I could easily say I have learned very much about how to meditate and especially in a joyous and easy way!’Swami Deva Akarmo\, Editor\, Italian Osho Times\, Milan‘Last year\, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a meditation event in Italy with Shunyo and Marco. \nShunyo\, an expert in facilitating meditations based on Osho’s Book of Secrets\, was joined by Marco\, whose enchanting music added a whole new dimension to the experience. \n Words cannot convey the sheer bliss of those sessions – the air was charged with a tangible intensity of silence\, and the sky seemed to burst into a joyous celebration that melted our hearts. Shunyo and Marco are undoubtedly gifts to humanity. \nTheir presence taught us invaluable lessons in embracing silence\, becoming more self-aware\, and finding happiness within ourselves.  I am overjoyed that I traveled all the way from the USA to attend this unforgettable event.’Antar Rakesh from Dallas\, Texas\n‘Between 2019 and 2023 I have participated to many Vipassana and Zazen retreats\, trainings\, festivals and group activities facilitated by Shunyo and Marco – and all I can say to describe my experience with them is that words are not the right tool for this job. And yet\, if I really had to put all of this in a few words\, I would say that what I love about their approach is the genuine love and respect for Osho.\n\nOne can immediately perceive this while listening to Marco’s music for Osho’s Book of Secrets meditations\, as well as to Shunyo’s guidelines for the techniques. Their humility beggars belief\, considering the fact that they have spent most of their life doing this – and yet\, they show up as humble as the last ones arrived. \nIn truth\, what I am mostly grateful about\, beyond everything else\, is the honour of calling them “friends”. And believe me\, you do feel welcome as a friend\, when you meet them. What more one could ask for?’Kabiro\, Italy‘Why did I join the Meditation course with Shunyo and Marco three years in a row?  \nBecause it is simply the most delicious\, beautiful heart space\, making meditation so easy\, creating such a lighthearted atmosphere and giving me delightful experiences of… sweet nothing.

You will be introduced to the shaman as the “Seer” — one who sees beyond the visible world. \nThis requires becoming what is traditionally called The Hollow Bone or Hollow Reed — a clear vessel through which wisdom flows. \nYou will also be introduced to your own Shamanic Divination Master — a guiding spirit ally who supports your development in these ancient arts. \nDuring This Workshop You Will Experience:\n \n\nWorking with a personal Shamanic Divination Master\nCasting stones\, bones and shells to interpret patterns and messages\nEntering light trance states to receive insight\nOmen Walks for prophetic revelation\nNature divination through clouds\, trees\, wind\, birds and water\nWord Doctoring — a shamanic healing method through spirit guidance\nTransforming objects into Power Objects for divination\nWorking with effigies in The Ways of the Light for healing and wellbeing\nRemote viewing practices for locating missing people\, animals and objects\n\nThis is immersive\, practical and guided throughout. \nThis Workshop Is For You If ….\n \n\nYou feel called to work with spirit in a grounded and responsible way\nYou want to deepen your intuitive perception\nYou are drawn to ancient wisdom traditions\nYou want practical tools for insight and guidance\nYou are ready to become a clearer channel for wisdom\n\nNo prior experience is required — only openness and respect for the work. \nWhat Is Divination \nDivination is the sacred art of seeking knowledge through symbolic systems and spirit communication. \nIt is the disciplined practice of interpreting patterns\, signs and messages in collaboration with compassionate spiritual allies. \nDivination brings clarity where the rational mind reaches its limits. \nThis workshop is open to beginners as well as those wishing to deepen their shamanic practice. \n‘A shaman is one who is able to traverse the shamanic terrain bringing back knowledge\, wisdom and healing.’ Zohar \n Introducing Zohar Bahir \nZohar began her unique journey more than 30 years ago and has continued to develop her skills to this day. In 2014\, following a dream career as an airline pilot\, she decided to explore shamanic healing and travelled to the Amazon where she lived with the Shipibo tribe for several months. \nDuring this time\, she underwent an advanced and intense initiation with a Shipibo maestro curandero\, a master healer. \nAfter returning to the UK with newfound inspiration\, she completed a 3-year course in Classical Shamanism and has been working as a shamanic practitioner ever since. \nWhen it comes to teaching Zohar believes in an experiential approach and her workshops reflect this methodology. \n\nI’ve had the great pleasure of receiving shamanic teaching and healing from Zohar several times over the years. \nHaving worked with other\npractitioners\, Zohar is someone who truly embodies the qualities and\nskills but most importantly the authenticity of a true healer. \nWith an admirable\, interesting life story\, Zohar is relatable in so many ways yet has the aura of a wise and ancient elder who has been doing the work for thousands of years. \nHer ability to hold space is second to none as her calming presence puts you at ease while her strong spirit inspires courage and confidence. \nIn a community saturated with ‘healers’\, I am so thankful to have been guided by her and her work has helped shift the course of my life in the greatest of ways. \nWith her having so much to\nshare and there being so much to learn from\, she is not only a healer\nbut also a great teacher and guide. \nThe real deal. \nCharlie S.\nI am an 83 years old woman who has spent most of my life dealing with\nthe severe trauma that lies in my family from centuries ago.When I\nmoved from Cornwall to Sussex 5 years ago\, I was delighted to learn\nthat a shaman lives next door. Her name is Zohar Bahir and I\nimmediately arranged to take shamanic journeys with her\, something I had wanted to do all my life. \nWhat transpired from those profound journeys and the integration process I was instructed to carry out at the end\, proved to be the culmination of all the therapeutic work\, mainly Jungian and body work\, that I’ve done during my long life. \nI have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone with an interest in shamanic teaching. \nZohar is experienced\, conscientious and trustworthy and works to the deepest levels of understanding. \nSarah I.\nI was very fortunate to embark on numerous shamanic workshops\ntaught by Zohar. \nZohar explains the theory and practices very clearly in her workshops and in an intriguing way that I was able to retain the\ninformation and put it into practice. \nZohar makes her workshops an\namazing and insightful experience. \nShe is a fantastic teacher who\nbrings her vast experience and inspiration to every workshop and in\naddition\, she is understanding\, patient and compassionate. \nNielWhat To Bring …. \nFor this portion of the workshop you will need to bring with you a Casting Set. This is a collection of small found objects. For example\, as a small stone\, a crystal\, a coin\, an acorn\, a shell\, a bone\, a bead etc.\n \n\nDetails\nStart: Friday June 19th @ 6:00pm (We encourage you to arrive at 5pm so you’ve time to settle in.

The sessions were really lovely\, very gentle. We did some creativity workshops as well as healing\, breathing exercises and chakra meditations. Tantra in the West has a really strong s*xual flavour and it’s not really about that. \nDimitri\nIt’s definitely an in-depth exploration and a journey\, which you go on with a group\, so it’s a beautiful container to grow in over time. It was really helpful to learn more about circulating energy through the chakras and to get precise guidance. It felt really expansive and exciting\, and a very interesting way to play with energy. It was a very gentle\, subtle and sweet learning experience. \nAurora\nOne of the things I have loved most about this experience is having the old school tantra\, rituals\, devotion\, working with energy\, breathwork and intention.  this is really meaningful for me because it is hard to find that in England in my experience as there is a lot of neo tantra so it is lovely to have something that the richeness and depth of ancient tradition and wisdom. I also want to share how beautiful it was for me to have Maite singing with her guitar to support us in song. There is something very special about singing in community and to be in devotion through music and song so i’ve really enjoye that she brought her gifts. I’ve had a lovely experience. \nHarmony Isgolde\nIt has been a beautiful four module experience for me\, especially to do this with my beloved; to look at the shadows and the connection between us and how to deepen that\, and also the shadows within myself between the feminine and the masculine has been really great to explore. The whole experience has been really enlightening and brings beauty and joy to the heart. \nPremesh\nI have just completed the LTE and I am so full of love\, I feel amazing. It is such a safe\, gentle space that has been held here. This last 5 months there have been beautiful connections\, beautiful friendships… I highly recommend this to anybody. \nCressida\nI have had a really deep\, meaningful and spiritual journey into myself that has helped me to understand me and others and to open my heart to everyone. \nPrem TuriyaLife Tantra Experience – Training Level 1 Workshop Dates 2026:\n\n\nMarch 20 – 22: Module I “The Tantra Map” Cosmic Blueprint for Living Fully\nApril 17 – 19: Module II\, “The Tantric Vision of the Body and the Senses”\nMay 22 – 24: Module III “She and He are One” The Sun and Moon within\nJune 26 – 28: Module IV\, “Devotional Tantra” – Union\, Love & Meditation\n\nPlease note – This is not a facilitator training.

It’s about grounded presence\, clear boundaries\, and a voice that carries strength and kindness at the same time. \nThis weekend is for women who are ready to stop shrinking\, stop over-explaining\, stop abandoning themselves — and begin leading from embodied truth. \nIt takes courage to live authentically. \nOften\, what holds us back are unexpressed emotions stored in the body. \nThis weekend is about releasing\, remembering\, and reclaiming. \n\n\nBOOK HERE\nDuring this workshop we will… \nYou are not coming to learn something new. \nYou are coming to remember who you were before you were shaped\, silenced\, made smaller\, made agreeable\, made polite\, made acceptable. \nThis work invites a deep return to your instinctual core\, where the belly anchors your sense of safety\, boundaries\, and inner authority. As this centre awakens\, the channel to the throat heals and strengthens\, allowing your needs and truth to be expressed with clarity and embodied power. \nThis is the Forbidden Path: \n\nThe path where women are no longer ruled by shame.\nThe path where your body is your authority.\nThe path where your voice is no longer negotiated.\nThe path where boundaries are not defended — they are lived.\nThe path where leadership comes from presence\, not performance.\n\n This weekend is a crossing point. \n\nThe Weekend \nHere we awaken the element of Earth: grounding\, stability\, boundaries\, body-truth\, and the first shedding of an old identity. \nThrough ceremony\, shadow work\, ancestral clearing\, emotional release and embodied boundary practices\, we enter the place where women remember who they are beneath generations of conditioning. \nWe will work with: \n\nA threshold ritual of release\nEarthing practices for grounding and boundaries\nAncestral shame\, guilt & suppression\nEmotional expression & somatic truth\nVoice\, presence & embodied Inner Authority \nClear\, kind boundaries and authentic communication\n\nYou will be held through elemental ritual\, body-based healing\, and earth practices that support you to hold more life force\, truth\, and leadership in your system. \n\n‘I arrived feeling a bit tired and needing nourishment.

Lose yourself in music\, movement\, sound and sensation. \nFind yourself in the groundedness of your feet. \nIn this age of technology\, digital stimulation\, fast pace information and disconnection with nature\, our nature – let’s come together and be present to the gift of these moments of creation\, sharing all it is to be human through these rich modes of exploration. \nThis is an alcohol and drug free festival. We can get high on being alive right now\, honouring all our emotions\, similarities and differences through movement\, sound and song. \nThe programme begins at 4pm\, but if you cannot make it for then\, do try to be here for our Opening Ceremony led by Christina Kane at 8pm Thursday.\n\n\n\nDuring this festival we will experience: \n\nSacred Octave – Indian Scale\n5 Rhythms\nDance Connection\nVoicework\nKirtan\nContinuum\nSomatic Movement\nSound Baths\nQi Gong\nVocal Improvisation\nOpening & Closing Ceremonies (opening including cacoa) & Sacred Fire Ceremony \n\nWho is this for… \n* No dance or singing ability necessary* Suitable also for experienced dancers and singers* For anyone wanting to explore different modalities of movement* For anyone wishing to explore their voice through a rich array of workshops* For anyone preferring a smaller festival \nThe Benefits of Spending 4 days Together in this Intimate Festival \nSinging and dancing for body\, mind and soul. \nThe many benefits of Singing include:\nRelieving stress and tension; boosting confidence; improving breathing; participating in a mindful activity; and so much more. \nDancing has some crossover benefits\, it also:\nImproves balance and coordination; enhances social connections; increase levels of the feel-good hormone serotonin; builds stronger bones and muscles\, and so much more….look it up and you’ll see lots of supportive research. \nWhat often isn’t mentioned though\, is how deeply both dancing and singing connect you to your essence self\, and open gateways to soul expression and connection. \nSince time immemorial people have dance and sung\, as Beethoven knew “Music has the power to revolutionise our world”. \nAs we journey together through movement and voice – the naturalness of expression\, uniqueness of each other\, and sense of community\, are gifts bestowed on us all – deepening day by day – as Aristotle said “the whole is greater than the sum of the parts”. \nOur Unique Voice And Dance Is A Gift To Be Explored\nMeet your Facilitators \nJewell Hope BrightwellCo-Leader | Dance ConnectionJewell loves music\, movement\, sound\, and voice which is why she came up with the idea of the Invocation festival in August 2024\, she wasn’t aware of any festival dedicated to this combination. Creative Director of Dance Connection\, Jewell’s mission is to get as many people moving together as possible – she sees that movement when carefully coupled with music gives a broad human experience : “we can let our body dance us\, explore unfamiliar movement\, be the music\, express our emotions\, accept and inspire each other with no judgment\, and connect without words\, beyond personality – it feels almost miraculous at times.”\nFor more info about Jewell\, click on the image above.Dance Connection For Relaxation\nA Dance Connection pathway created to land in your body and relax before bed. In this pathway we will mainly be exploring solo dances and movement\, so that you can deeply connect to your own body’s messages and needs\, music is carefully selected to support the invitations. Unlike typical Dance Connection pathways\, you will only be gently reactivated after the deceleration &  stillness sections of the pathway – so that you stay relaxed for bed/sleep. Bring mat\, blanket\, bottled water\, wear layered clothing. \nDivine Human Dance\n\nThis Dance Connection pathway will explore our animal bodies\, instincts\, naturalness; alongside transcendent and reverent dances – maybe we will find a way to marry the two and experience the divine human animal we are? Dance Connection is geared for connection with your self\, and others – this pathway will include solo\, pair\, small group\, and whole group movement explorations. Wear layered clothing\, bring bottled water\, optional blanket.\n\nGavin FrankCo-Leader | Indian Ragas\, & VoiceworkGavin Frank is a singer\, voice facilitator\, Kirtan leader and musician.

Through gentle\, embodied practices\, participants learn to release tension\, soften into presence\, and reconnect with the essence that lives beneath habitual patterns and holding. This workshop opens both the physical and inner voice\, inviting a sense of spaciousness\, authenticity\, and ease in expression. The practices are meditative\, grounding\, and transformative—simple tools you can continue to build into daily life to deepen your connection to yourself\, your body\, and your unique sound. \nWorkshop: The Sacred Octave\nThe Sacred Octave is a deep-dive workshop into the Swaras of the Indian Scale—a powerful vocal map that guides you through the body’s energy centres and opens a pathway to expressive\, embodied sound. Through learning the unique tones of this scale and exploring how they weave together\, you’ll discover a new way of working with your voice that brings balance to your whole system\, releases tension\, and invites deeper breath and presence. We may also explore a simple raga to experience how particular combinations of notes evoke specific emotional qualities\, using it as a framework to expand resonance\, range\, and inner awareness. This work supports you in drawing out your inner voice and marrying it with outward expression\, helping you relax\, open your heart\, connect more authentically with yourself\, and experience the liberating\, healing potential of your own sound. \nKelly Day Sound BathsKelly is a sound healer\, Reiki practitioner and counsellor based in Devon. Always having felt deeply connected to sound\, she feels blessed to be able to offer this way of healing to others.

The Dance Connection pathways have been portals into a deep sense of aliveness\, joy\, harmony and community. I feel a sense of wholeness that I rarely feel in everyday life. I work as a GP and I find that the dances facilitated by Jewell are the perfect antidote to my often overly stimulated\, information processing mind. I can immediately drop attention into my body and feel in tune with its needs\, inclinations and living wisdom. The harmony that occurs during some of the group dances is awe inspiring and very moving.

Soon after joined by James and Kath\, “Breathe A Festival of life” has been taking shape ever since\, having a life force of its own.
