Chers amis, je vous propose de rejoindre l'atelier de tantra à Paris ! Cours de Tantra — Les aspects Masculin & Féminin de l’énergie 15 février 18h00 Paris, Place d’Italie À l’intérieur de chaque être humain vivent deux aspects fondamentaux de l’énergie — le Masculin et le Féminin. Chez chaque femme existe un Masculin intérieur — actif, structurant, directionnel. Chez chaque homme existe un Féminin intérieur — réceptif, sensible, doux. Ces énergies se façonnent à travers notre naissance, notre éducation, nos expériences de vie et nos empreintes karmiques. Très souvent, nous passons notre vie à chercher un partenaire idéal — quelqu’un qui viendrait combler ce qui nous semble manquer à l’intérieur : la force, la douceur, la sécurité, la clarté, la direction. Le Tantra nous enseigne pourtant que, pour rencontrer véritablement un partenaire harmonieux, nous avons d’abord besoin de rencontrer notre propre Masculin intérieur et notre propre Féminin intérieur. Lorsqu’un de ces aspects est refoulé ou rejeté, nous le cherchons inconsciemment à l’extérieur — à travers les relations, les rôles et les attentes. Cela mène souvent à des déséquilibres, à la dépendance affective et à des schémas répétitifs en amour. Dans le Tantra : le Féminin est l’énergie de la Lune — l’intuition, le flux, la réceptivité. le Masculin est l’énergie du Soleil — la clarté, la conscience, la direction. Lorsque ces deux polarités sont reconnues et harmonisées à l’intérieur, nous devenons capables de rencontrer l’autre non plus depuis le manque, mais depuis un espace de complétude intérieure. Cette classe est une invitation à explorer votre polarité intérieure : • Les femmes sont invitées à rencontrer leur Masculin intérieur • Les hommes sont invités à rencontrer leur Féminin intérieur À travers la conscience, le mouvement doux, la respiration et la présence, nous créons un espace pour ressentir, explorer et intégrer ces deux énergies en soi. Sécurité & Consentement Cet espace est sûr, respectueux et non sexuel. Tous les exercices sont guidés, conscients et toujours optionnels. Vous êtes libre à tout moment de choisir votre niveau de participation. L’écoute du corps, des limites personnelles et du « oui » ou du « non » intérieur est au cœur de la pratique. Lorsque le Masculin et le Féminin se rencontrent à l’intérieur du cœur, un profond sentiment d’unité, d’équilibre et de paix intérieure peut émerger. Participation : • 30 € par personne • Tarif spécial couple homme–femme (il peut s’agir d’amis — la parité est importante pour l’équilibre du groupe) Les places sont limitées Inscription obligatoire Animé par Katya Deno Fondatrice de Atelier Câlin et de la School of Living Contact, avec une expérience dans l’animation de pratiques de tantra et de connexion corporelle à Paris et à Saint-Pétersbourg. Aucune expérience préalable n’est nécessaire — venez tel·le que vous êtes Pour toute question ou pour réserver votre place : WhatsApp : +33 6 14 33 97 84 Telegram : @katya_deno

Join our partners Watermark Woods Native Plants, Loudoun County Public Library (LCPL), and Birch Tree Bookstore for the Read! Plant! Grow! Book Club, which focuses on native plants, sponsored by Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and LCPL. At this meeting we’ll discuss the book Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. Both memoir and journalistic investigation, this book explores how the Kingsolver family took on a new challenge: to spend a year on a locally -produced diet, paying close attention to the provenance of all they consume. Concerned about the environmental, social, and physical costs of American food culture, they hoped to recover what Kingsolver considers our nation’’s lost appreciation for farms and the natural processes of food production. You can either buy the book from Birch Tree Bookstore or contact Allison Forbes at [Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov](mailto:Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov) to borrow a copy of the book at the library. There are two ways to participate: attend the event online via the library website or [sign up to participate in person at Birch Tree Bookstore](https://www.birchtreebookstore.com/event-details/read-plant-grow-2026-02-24-18-30). ***Questions:*** *Contact [info@loudounwildlife.org](mailto:info@loudounwildlife.org)*.
