After recent sold-out events, Fundamentals of Tantra is heading to Melbourne for the first time in four years, with Embodied Awakening Academy Teacher, Erin Fowler. Don't miss out!
Over 2 days, Erin Fowler, supported by her sister Tess Fowler, both of the Embodied Awakening Academy, will guide you into Tantric teachings and practices to experience love and sensual energy as healing modalities; firstly with yourself to deepen in inner union, then bringing this state of wholeness to flow into partnered practices.
~ Tools & Practices to Master Tantric Living ~
Over the two days, you will learn how to:
• Make your inner relationships to your-self and outer relationship with a beloved more fulfilling, authentic, passionate and meaningful
• Practice tools for greater intimacy in and out of the bedroom
• Awaken your energetic and sensual body, releasing old patterning around sensuality and embracing an enlivened pleasure state
• Navigate relationships so they become your greatest teacher through healthy communication, self-responsibility & self-love
• Access unconscious emotional & psychological blocks that sabotage your life and transform them into power
• Attract and maintain fulfilling, resonant relationships and experiences into your life
Join us Saturday 25th & Sunday 26th March 2023 for this special transformative experience. (*Please note new dates)
WHO THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR:
For all genders, singles and couples, the complete beginner and the experienced Tantrics. It doesn’t matter your age or what stage of life you are at. To anyone who deeply desires to experience a powerful, loving, blissful and intimate relationship with themselves AND with others, this workshop will be a lasting transformative journey!
WORKSHOP BREAKDOWN:
~ SATURDAY: Self Exploration ~
• Experience EMBODIED AWAKENING beyond mere mindfulness, with a Tantric approach that embraces our animal desire, our heartfelt longing and our soul’s deepest truth.
• Access your birthright as a SENSUAL BEING by freeing yourself of mind-based conditioning and opening to limitless pleasure and joy in your own body
• Embrace a state of INNER WHOLENESS and end the push-pull dynamic in relationships by cultivating healthy masculine & feminine energies within your own being.
• Create deeply INTIMATE RELATIONSHIPS by ending conflict & drama cycles in partnership and releasing the need for external validation and approval.
• Experience what it is to EXPRESS YOUR EMOTIONAL BODY HEALTHILY, rather than suppressing it or projecting it onto others through; self-responsibility, letting go of the need to change/fix yourself & others, and vulnerably expressing your needs and boundaries.
~ SUNDAY: Solo, Paired & Group Embodiment Practices ~
• Be a CONFIDENT AND PRESENT LOVER that can harness and transmit energy into your lover's heart and pineal gland, through the art of Tantric Alchemy – learn to touch someone with more than just physical touch
• Experience what it means to truly engage in the ritual of TANTRIC UNION with 'eyes & heart open' by transforming any blocks and fears around connection and intimacy, and slowing everything down to open to greater sensation
• Explore the pleasure and deep transformation available when you experience intimate connection through physical, heart and soul level intimacy as a HEALING MODALITY
• Practice the Tantric technique of LOOPING KUNDALINI, where instead of racing towards an end goal, you can relax into a sensual connection that lasts for hours; where the mind stops, the body opens and pure love & consciousness expand
• Learn to MAGNETIZE a partner with your awareness as well as your love so you can envelop those you meet with a loving presence blazing from your heart and state of wholeness.

FAQ
Q: How intimate do the practices get?
A: There is no nudity or genital touch any of our events. There will be paired Tantric practices on day 2, which is done in a respectful and tasteful way with people deciding on what level of connection they would like, within the agreed boundaries of the space and of the pair.
Q: I am single and coming on my own. How does the paired practices on Day 2 work, and what can I expect turning up by myself?
A: The first day involves practices where you are learning to become familiar with, and move, sexual & life-forces energy within your own being. On the 2nd day we do partnered practices where you learn different techniques to circulate this energy with another person. Its completely guided and for every practice, you get to communicate any fears, boundaries and desires, and your level of participation is completely up to you – personal freedom and self-love are taught and honoured first and foremost.
Q: How many couples vs singles do you usually get to this event?
A: On average, for the Fundamentals of Tantra workshop, we usually get 70% single, 30 % couples, and of the singles it's usually quite even between men and women, with slightly more women attending.
Q: I am single and learning this by myself. How can I implement this in a future relationship?
A: You can easily apply all of the practices from Day 2 to a new relationship, or with someone who hasn’t learned Tantra, by:
• implementing them in your own being, where your partner will feel and experience the benefits and be introduced to them through your energy and body.
• or by introducing them through the communication tools we go through in the workshop.
Is the program for heterosexual people only or do you welcome people with other sexual preferences?
The Embodied Awakening Academy fully welcomes and celebrates LGBTQIA+ identities, orientations and sexualities in this workshop and want it to be fully included in Tantric work. In this workshop, it doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation is. We believe that all sexual orientations are healthy and natural expressions of human sexuality. We do acknowledge that the majority of our work comes from heteronormative teachers and traditional systems. As a result, the majority of the language in the program is heteronormative and/or gendered. If you feel okay and safe to adapting that to yourself, then we fully support you joining this workshop.If you join the workshop, we will welcome your feedback on how to be even more inclusive.
Is this program suitable for CIS-gendered people only or do you welcome non-binary and trans folks?
In our material and courses, we use the word woman for any person who identifies as a woman, regardless of their assigned sex at birth and we use the word man for any person who identifies as a man, regardless of their assigned sex at birth. We also fully welcome and celebrate non-binary folks to join this program. We acknowledge that gender is non-binary, fluid, and on a spectrum, and support each individual’s right to live in alignment with their gender identity.
- okay working with practices that refer to “Masculine and/or “Feminine” energies
- comfortable exploring the impact of gendered conditioning
- comfortable with occasional references to the Tantric terms for the genitals “Yoni for vagina” and “Lingham for penis”,
- feel supported to navigate and make the content applicable to yourself and relationships community
… then we welcome you wholeheartedly and also respect if it isnt the right fit.
