Giving back to those in need...
It is wonderful that many of us can get together and train in sexual healing arts and empowerment. But what about those less fortunate?
At Tao Tantric Arts, we have decided to give a percentage of the income from these Teacher Training Programs to charities that assist women in areas of sexual violence and similar issues. In this way, as we all expand our self-empowerment, we are also giving something back to empower others.
In the future we would like to organise volunteer groups to take some of these practices to women who have suffered from rape, abuse or violence, to offer healing and empowerment. We are currently looking for suitable projects to align with. If you know of some such project, please contact us.
Here are some of the organisations we have currently chosen to support:
The Lotus Circle, The Asia Foundation

V Day & One Billion Rising
V Day is a global movement to end violence against women and girls.
V-Day is a catalyst that promotes creative events to increase awareness, raise money, and revitalize the spirit of existing anti-violence organizations. V-Day generates broader attention for the fight to stop violence against women and girls, including rape, battery, incest, female genital mutilation (FGM), and sex slavery.
One Billion Rising is the annual event in which people all over the world perform a dance in the name of non-violence.
You can contribute to this event by finding a group near you to join in, or organising your own!
In 2014 we have a group in Koh Phangan, Thailand. This will be the first time here on the island.
