Why would you join?
There may be different reasons to join this training, and women may take different empowerments from it, including:

What will you learn?
These arts are energetically based, thus it involves working with sexual energy, opening channels and learning to store energy. There are many practices, which are taught in a creative feminine way rather than purely technical. They include:
We believe that this work is very supportive in the awakening of the feminine, as well as the connection to the Earth, and the healing between the masculine and the feminine. Therefore if you feel to guide and support other women on their journey, we are here to empower you to offer those gifts. |
Who this course is for
- Beginners to professionals who feel a strong calling to this work.
- Women who have done a fair amount of women's work already (women's circles, shamanic work or tantra) and have the desire to share that with others.
- Women who are already facilitators, yoga teachers or healers and wish to extend into the Tao Tantric Arts to expand their range of material.
- Students of Tantra and Tantric Yoga who want to enter deeper into learning how to cultivate sexual energy on their own.
- Qigong, Chinese Medicine, Tai Chi, Shiatsu and practitioners of the Oriental Energy arts who wish to study deeper into the sexual energy aspects of these lineages.
- Any woman who wishes to empower herself with her own sexual energy, separately from being with a partner!
- Creative women who want to learn to cultivate and use their sexual energy in their creative endeavours (dance,music, poetry etc).
- Women who are planning pregnancy in the future and wish for the best preparation (however we cannot accept ay women who is pregnant during the training - see below)
- Mature souls that feel ready to serve the healing processes of others.
Who this course is not for
- Tao and Tantra are spiritual paths, which can be deeply healing. The main aim of these practices is to awaken and move your life force energy. IF you are uncomfortable with the sensations of energy movements in your body, then this is not the training for you. If you have not tried moving energy, then we recommend that you try some breathwork (or similar) and see if you feel able to allow energy to move through your body.
- We will be asking you to take full responsibility for your experiences, which includes the capacity to listen to your body, know your own limitations and express your boundaries. Self-responsibility is the core foundation of this training. If you still need to be supported by others in this, then this is not for you.
- We do not accept any pregnant women as the Tao practices do not recommend the movement of energy away from the womb area during this time.
- You will be required to be fit and healthy without any major physical limitations. There is daily dance and qigong on this training, plus the need to sit cross legged for extended periods of time, and fitness is therefore a prerequisite.
- If you are still recovering from past traumatic events then we request that you take the time to heal that with a trained professional. This training is a teacher training and is NOT designed as a specific trauma healing program. You are likely to feel overwhelmed by the practices if you have not already taken steps for your healing. We recommend that you reach a level of high stability in yourself before applying for this training. (please consider the Trauma to Tantra online course Shashi offers)
- Sorry, but we do not accept anyone on antidepressants or other mental health medication. These medications can have effects on the sexual energy and therefore interfere with the practices. We would need you to discuss with a medical advisor if you are coming off medications and allow at least 6 months before applying to this training.
Interview Process
All applicants will fill in our online application and then will be scheduled a video call with one of the facilitators. We must let you know, that not all women who apply are accepted. Our training is advanced, as well as rigorous (up to 9 or even 10 hours a day). You need to be physically fit, able to sit cross-legged for extended periods of time, and in good health. You need to have a developed sense of self-awareness. If we do not feel you are ready for the training this time, we will give you a recommended practice to do and ask that you do a set period of practice and keep a journal of your progress. (We may also accept you onto the program but also give you homework to do before the training). This is not about saying you are not good enough, but making sure you are at a stage at your life when this is really a good match. We know this training is a big investment of your time, energy and money and so we want to help make sure that it is the best time and you are well prepared.

Conscious Relationship (earth element)
Shiva Shakti Reunion Meet with men again, though a series of rituals and practices. This time helps us to heal with the other gender and find new ways to meet and connect. You are also welcome if you relate intimately only with women, as we can always heal our relationship to the masculine. These rituals can be optional and you can let us know if you prefer not to join. Integration Time This is not an official part of the program. However, in most trainings, many women choose to stay on for an extra week for their own rest and integration. Tao Tantric Arts do not organize specific accommodation, however we may suggest a resort for people to stay at (so that people can be close by). This is of course entirely optional, but highly recommended. |
