The other workshop I want to mention is: GENDER-FLUID TANTRA
A workshop facilitated by Reid Bruggemann and Alex Jade
Gender fluidity allows us to relate to the people in our lives from any place on the spectrum of masculine and feminine energies. In our personal lives, we experience gendered behavior and social archetypes. Through Tantric practice there is an access to a deeper layer of undifferentiated potency. This deeper field, usually accessed in meditation, is the source of all personal attributes and experiences of gender. By grounding ourselves in this place of Magic, and experiencing gendered behavior as it emerges through us and moves us into action, we can experience gender fluidity as a form of spiritual practice. As we experience the range of vitality in gendered expressions without being bound by them, we are liberated from habitual behaviors. This freedom is the basis of Tantric practice. Experiencing gender fluidity gives us a skillful way of being in relationship while interactive meditation integrates our spiritual practice into our personal lives.
In this workshop we will use Tantric principles and teaching as our foundation. We will also strengthen our capacity to ground emerging energies. Please come explore with us.
