Urban Tantra: Sacred Sex for the 21st Century: (Course overview)

Barbara developed Urban Tantra as an approach to sacred sexuality that adapts and blends conscious sex practices ranging from Tantra and Tao to BDSM. The result is a hot and healing brand of sex for the 21st century sensualist.

On the Tantric path, pleasure, vision and ecstasy are celebrated rather than repressed. In other words, when other spiritual practices say no, Tantra says a great big YES. Tantra is not only a sexual practice, it also is a sensuous way of life and path to spiritual growth. In this workshop, you’ll learn Tantric techniques for intense full-bodied orgasms, amazingly deep, heart-centered connections (with a partner or with yourself), and the bliss that comes when your spiritual and sexual paths are one.

We’ll practice techniques and exercises that can help you to:

•Discover your top ten turn-ons
•Open your senses and develop your sensuality
•Unleash your orgasmic energy
•Attract your ideal lover
•Create and practice self love
•Celebrate pleasure, vision and ecstasy
We’ll also focus on ecstatic techniques for empowering relationships. We will practice exercises and positions designed to show you how to:

•Harmonize and circulate sexual energy with a partner
•Transcend fears of intimacy
•Discover new heights and depths of orgasm
•Keep relationships vibrant and loving.
