What is it?
Q. What is Tantra?
A. Tantra is a spiritual art and science. Going back thousands of years, these principles have been practiced by people of various faiths. Tantra is without dogma, honoring the essence and deep spirituality of the present moment. To quote Osho, “Everything in Tantra is Holy.” White Spirit Tantra encourages its practitioners to recognize that divine spark in themselves, their relationships and in the rest of humanity.
Q. Is Tantra a religion?
A. No. Though Tantra is embraced by modern Hinduism and Buddhism, in itself Tantra is a spiritual practice that holds sacred the connection of all humanity.
Q. Can Tantra be used as a form of relationship therapy?
A. Tantra is a healing art that can bring inner peace, joy and harmony. Healing happens as a result of commitment to practice Tantra on a regular basis. A Tantric relationship is a harmonious one. That said, it is not a form of therapy, which is about fixing problems. White Spirit Tantra is a life practice ~ a way to experience the divine in all aspects of life.
Q. What is White Spirit Tantra?
A. This is a unique approach to inner healing which incorporates thousands of years of understanding with what we’re learning today. Here you are accepted into a community of open-hearted, joyous, spiritually growing people. You don’t have to be an experienced Tantrika to feel the love in your heart.
Tantra: the Practice
Q. What’s in it for me personally?
A. Within a short time, students often achieve a clearing of negative emotional energy. The result is a shift in perspective which allows them to see relationships in a new light.
Q. Can I do this with my partner? (We're a couple. What can Tantra do for us?)
A. Absolutely. If your partner is open and willing to share the delight of a new experience, then by all means… This is a safe and accepting environment. It’s OK if you’re shy or a little uncomfortable, as long as you’re willing to be open to the possibilities. This is not a scary thing. It brings partners closer.
Q. My partner won’t attend right now. Can I do this without my partner?
A. Yes. It’s about opening your heart, opening your mind, and experiencing joy. When you share the love in your heart, you can’t help but bring this home with you. Think about it…
Q. I am single; can I still practice Tantra?
A. Yes. There are many exercises that can be practiced alone or with a friend. As you see yourself in a different light, you will attract people into your life who appreciate you just as you are.
Q. What’s the difference between White and Red Tantra?
A. White Tantra focuses on the flow of energy movement in your body through the breath. Clearing the chakras (energy centers) allows free movement of the life force, which opens you to experience your divinity and passion for life. You will expand your capacity for intimacy and sensuality. This is the foundation for all Tantric study.
Red Tantra is a complex ancient Yogic practice which takes these passions into the sexual realm, allowing you to experience physical relationships as Sacred.
The Classes
Q. How is White Spirit Tantra practiced?
A. People usually begin by attending The Heart of Intimacy, the Intro offered monthly. After initial grounding exercises, you are introduced to the awareness of your breath. As your practice deepens, you are ready to move into pair-bonding exercises, where you learn to attune your energy with another’s.
Q. I’m single. Can I attend?
A. Yes. Our gender-balanced classes are usually more than 50% single individuals.
Q. What can I expect from a class or a private session?
A. In the introductory class and private sessions you will receive an overview of Tantra basics with some very powerful techniques for grounding yourself in the practice of Tantra. You will quickly discover in this safe environment how natural it feels to connect through breath awareness, light touch, and gentle eye-gazing. An unexpected benefit is the vitality rush available to you as you reach out energetically to awaken the spark of joy in another person.
Q. I'm afraid that the exercises might be too intimate for me.
A. The exercises in White Spirit Tantra offer a solid foundation of trust for the beginner. Each step is designed to escort you to the next level of opening to your greatest potential. Our “clothes-on practice” emphasizes the value of spiritual bonding between two or more souls.
You will always have a choice about the degree of openness and emotional intimacy you wish to experience. Setting boundaries is a valuable tool you will learn early in the study of White Spirit Tantra.
Q. How can practicing Tantra improve my relationship?
A. This practice expands your radiant spirit to overflow into all your relationships. As you learn how to release ego-mind and be here now, Tantric peace and harmony will be yours. When you will feel fulfilled, enriched and lovable you will be able to be fully present with your partner and appreciate the divinity before you. The connection you once had & yearn to renew will blossom as you develop your ability to connect heart-to-heart.
Your communication skills will improve as you learn how to express your desires directly. This is a process of attracting what you really want, and you will appreciate the interest and attention you receive as you listen to one another’s yearnings.
Q. What works about White Sprit Tantra?
A. This practice is a reminder that it’s up to each individual to create the life that you truly want. In order to achieve a healthy mind, body, and spirit, you must be willing to release attitudes & behaviors that create suffering. Practicing Tantra can be highly therapeutic as each individual experiences unity with all beings.
Q. Why do people bring their friends to Intros?
A. People enjoy sharing this class with their friends and family because they don’t want to keep the joy only for themselves. The sweetness of this environment opens hearts to a greater extent than everyday interactions. Everyone benefits from exploring the possibilities of a more loving connection.
Q. Why do you call yourself a community?
A. We offer something that is missing in most of modern day life: loving community. How many places can you go where people are truly interested in you and take a stand for your highest good? This is all about creating the kind of community you deserve.
With the support of like-minded people, your discernment and self-confidence will improve, and you will experience yourself as attractive, loving and loveable…
Learning together in a group opens your awareness to experience each person as Sacred. The ripple effect shows us how nourishing community can be. This is about expanding the warmth in your heart to include a larger arena of support & self expression. Whether you’re currently in classes or not, you’re always part of our Tantra Family.
Q. What should I bring to the Introduction to White Spirit Tantra?
A. Bring your water bottle, and please be fragrance free. Wear layers of comfortable, festive clothing. Dressing like the god or goddess that you are enhances your experience.
Q. What do you teach privately?
A. I work with couples and singles who have run into blocks to attaining inner peace & harmony, and want to gain insight into their blind spots.

Core Groups
Q. What is a Core Group?
A. A unique aspect of White Spirit Tantra is the Core Group.

Six ongoing sessions provide continuity for surrounding yourself with love and acceptance as you explore this new way of experiencing yourself and others.

Q. How many Core Groups are there?
A. There are 4 levels of Core Groups at this time, with a 5th in the planning stage.
Q. Why do you have so many levels?
A. Each level builds upon the last as you integrate the healing aspects of Tantra with supportive, light-hearted new friends. After Level One, you may find that you desire to continue your study with the same people, building community further. Deep friendships have developed here ~ and partnerships as well, due to the trust and intimacy that singles rarely find elsewhere.
Q. What can I expect to feel after Level Four?
A. You will know serenity, self-confidence, lightness of being, and the deep connection with all aspects of life referred to as Unity.
Q. What does Level One have for me?
A. Level One allows you to bring Conscious Breathing into your life, relieving stress and welcoming vitality. You will explore an experience of Oneness which grows with each session. Shyness & trust issues begin to melt away as you learn how to relax into the nourishing heart energy of your fellow students. An unexpected bonus is the playfulness & fun that pop into these sessions ~ natural elements of White Spirit Tantra.
Q. Do singles have their own Core Group?
A. Consider this: villages are made up of both couples and singles. In modern times, the two categories tend to be isolated from one another. In this community it feels natural to learn from one another how to create and maintain healthy relationships.
