~ Tools & Practices to Master Tantric Living ~
Over 2 days, Larinda Lehman and Ben Raya 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.
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 May 31sth & Sunday June 1st 2025 for this special transformative experience.

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.
• 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 (Shiva) as well as your love (Parvati) so you can envelop those you meet with a loving presence blazing from your heart and state of wholeness.

LARINDA LEHMAN
Larinda has spent the last 20 years of her life in event and project production. This has taken many different forms from parties, psychedelic journeys, directing music festivals to sensual connection workshops. Within the projects she had been unconsciously began building a strong attunement for space holding and building communities.
While on her own journey of healing, she found Tantra and immediately felt a deeper call to service in a this area. Taking the Practitioner Training through the Embodied Awakening Academy brought a new understanding of trauma, energetics and somatics that has driven her deeper into this practice.
Working closely within the Academy for the last three years has lead to incredible growth and understanding of love, communication and inner union. She is excited to be bringing these tools and practices to others, and to facilitate the deep journey into wholeness for others.

BEN RAYA
After 30 years of being the classic western disembodied head on a stick, Ben has dedicated the last 8 years to practices of embodiment, somatic and awakening into real human presence.
The call came for him with the birth of his second child, a perfect mirror for all his disowned parts of himself, which launched him into the internal work he needed to step into the person that was necessary to raise her. This being the greatest gift he has ever received.
His primary tradition has been the study of classical tantra, with extensive time practicing modern Tantra, as well. Beyond those, Ben finds continued embodiment practice through Thai Massage, West African Drum and Dance, and Brazilian Zouk. Music has been in his veins since he was a child and even pursued in it in University. His mastery of working within the energetics of the rhythm of life to inspire and move the body is tantric in itself.
When he is not facilitating, coaching or with his children his is still working within his embodiment practice as a Lumberjack, where finding connection to nature, the body and the Dark Masculine, a rich and fruitful tantric practice in and of itself.Ben is passionate about guiding others into new realms of embodiment, pleasure and connection.

FAQ:
Q: How intimate do the practices get?
A: There is no nudity or genital touch at 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, sensual & 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. It's a pretty fun process of organically pairing people together over the multiple exercises. For every practice, people get to communicate any fears, boundaries and desires, and your level of participation is completely up to you – boundaries, personal freedom and self-love are taught and honored 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.
