Living Tantra workshop: Desire - come home to yourselfA nourishing space for self-reflection and growth. Explore the principles of Tantra through direct experience and **welcome a more liberated version of yourself.**
Living Tantra is a workshop series created for those who wish to deepen their exploration of Tantra. Inspired by ancient Tantric philosophy, each gathering takes us into a new theme through embodiment, meditation, energy practices and more.
These sessions are for anyone who’s curious about **Tantra as a path for healing, expansion and connection.** Whether you are looking for an opportunity to explore yourself in a deeper way, to connect authentically with others, to find wholesome nourishment or, to be inspired; this Living Tantra workshop series provides a regular moment of connection with yourself, with others and with the teachings of Tantra.
**Modern Tantra but different**; this is not a temple nor a massage. These are heart-centered journeys inviting you to explore different facets of yourself so you may become a wider, fuller and more liberated version of yourself.
**Desire**
This time, we explore **desire as a vehicle into realising your innate fullness.**
Tantra is widely known as a path where one can embrace desires, expand pleasure, and follow ecstasy. Tantric philosophy does not view desire as an obstacle. Instead, it sees desire as an opportunity—a means for liberation. While it is already liberating to stop suppressing desires, this is not the kind of liberation that Tantric scriptures point toward. So, how then do your desires become a means for liberation? What is at the root of your desires? And, what is the role of pleasure in all this?
Come explore this Tantric philosophy and tap into your inner wisdom.
**In this edition of Living Tantra, you will be invited to:**
🔹Explore what it is that you truly want
🔹Practice recognising and following (or expressing) your desires
🔹 Discover how desire becomes a means for liberation

**About the facilitator**
Hi! My name is Sophie. My passion for Tantra is rooted in a deep spiritual yearning and an inner knowing that Tantra is my path. My desire to teach Tantra has been sparked by having witnessed my own growth and healing as a result of these practices and it is inspired by a vision to create a more beautiful world.
I create a space that is loving and nurturing, with a strong emphasis on ensuring that you feel save and supported. My workshops are gentle yet transformative, spiritual yet grounded and always heart-centered. I'm passionate about bridging the wisdom of ancient Tantra with modern-day practices.
