TANTRA PROGRAMS

 

We combine entertainment with education to produce fun, effective and creative seminars and works shops. We are an educational organization and while we believe our Lovers' Academy programs are best for almost all couples we do get Tantra inquiries.  

 

 We do not do individual couples therapy or personal tantric or sexual instruction sessions but do offer counseling by several methods such as email- webcam, etc.   We can often  work with couples in private at a formal  private program after hours to address specific relationship needs if required such as dealing with sexual trauma from an earlier relationship.   We do not offer group sexual encounters or nude excursions, but work with groups and organizations who do and we would only provide information and referral.

 

             For example our approach to Tantra we call “Practical Tantra” as it does not take you away to some resort for three thousand dollars and have you dance naked and worship a phallic or Hindu statue.   We present the core components in various ways so that each couple can select those that are most needed in their unique relationships.   Just as a buffet line allows you to select the amount, timing, and type of dishes to compose your meal, our goal is to give you the same range of sexual and relationship choices to experience.  Some of these you might adopt at once,  and others you may save for a later time.  We do not offer just our brand or our favorite or special dish as good as it may be for us, as we know our relationships ebb and flow and evolve over time. 

 

             Every sexual adult knows the vast difference between truly making love and having sex as healthy and joyful as that might be.   Most of you have had a profound intimate, spiritual moment of awe and connection in your life as well.     Tantra weaves the peak experience within lovemaking and spiritual connection.   It works with every religion, although the concept began with ancient Hindu texts.  Just like meals, it can be simple and wholesome or as fun, exotic, and formal as your senses desire.  also like a great dinner, it requires preparation, care, patience, and attention to presentation and setting to deliver the moment you remember forever.  The same is true of great music or art, and indeed, Tantra moves biological or play sex into the realms of creation and art.

 

             Even the Trappist Monk, Thomas Keating said: "Religion isn't the only path to God.  Some people just don't go that way.  God loves diversity, and there are other paths.  For instance, nature-some people experience God in the sunset, the mountains, and the rivers. Everything seems to work together over time to produce a certain consciousness of God's presence.  Service to others is sometimes a way of going to God. I think conjugal love would lead to experiences of God.  God is equally present in everything that exists.  Otherwise it wouldn't exist." 

 

             Many of us have had Tantra like sexual experiences by accident, during a time when we not focused on our own experience but instead on the experience of our partner.  These are times without fear, desire, expectation or wanting of anything to happen but what was in progress.   In these moments you realize that “love is fearless” not just because it contains courage, but because it cannot be harmed by fear.  If you feel fear in the sexual experience, you cannot feel love.  You do not fight your fears but instead you love them. The course books, all the slides and movies are provided on the CD.  Why do we give away so much?  Because we are grateful when you share it and we want you to have enough time to review, explore, test and find that which is right for your path.   With a thousand pages of text on your CD, we did not feel it necessary to contribute to the destruction of another tree.   If you ever lose your CD, contact us and a free replacement will be sent to you that week.

 

             We do not make a living on income from the Tantra Programs and we both have other projects, work and relationships that provide for our physical needs.   We put the income from the Tantra Programs back into development of better materials, more research and providing other services.  So we invite you to sit back, relax, laugh, and enjoy your journey on our little tour bus through the wonders of Tantra.

 

             Tantra is a gift of mindfulness within a relationship between two partners.   While traditional Tantra courses use retreats and sexually based formats, our program also includes educational formats that can be presented in theaters, meetings and other gatherings.   All of these have been designed, tested and presented for over ten years of success within the most liberal or conservative lifestyles and relationships.  In Tantra we do not judge, but instead we seek to understand.  When we can understand, we lose fear and anger and have the choice of compassion for ourselves and our beloved now available.  Within the fruit of compassion grows the fruit of love, intimacy, security and joy.

 

Tantra is a way of looking at the world and our relationships as partnerships.   Healthy relationships become familiar and lack creative energy over time.   Getting back the laughter, intimacy, the small moments of touch and security are like tending a garden.    All gardens must be planted in the soil of trust, respect and value.  They must be given the rain of time and belief that the partnership is evolving for the good of both.  Weeds occur though stress, illness, injury, and emotional turmoil and knowing how to remove the weed and it’s root without destroying the entire garden is unique to each relationship.   We teach you the skills to understand your relationships, value yourself and your partner, and then cultivate the skill to access  proven tools both ancient and modern to fertilize your love, respect and experience. Since your partners experience affects your own.

 

We travel to clubs, groups and events around the country and present one of three kinds of Tantra programs and One Day Lovers Academy Seminars.  Level 1 Tantra is our eight hour program which is lecture, demonstration and audio visual presentations with some practice of meditation, self hypnosis, massage and other classroom topics.   The level two program is for those couples who have completed the level one material and wish to practice, and perfect their skills.   This program can be coupled with the level one for what we call a lover's weekend or three days of tantric instruction and practice.  The other program format is by using modules of the courses presented over time or as sessions.   This can be done on line and in other formats depending on the needs of the couples.

> >I am forwarding a letter I sent to my friends telling them all about this weekend seminar with you. Thought maybe you'd enjoy some positive feedback! Good advertisement for ya'll too! We would be definitely be interested in the second seminar! Do you have one on schedule?  In case my friends are interested when ,where would they be able to attend another one as we did.  Not all of our friends would be into the naturist community and this is not necessarily directed for such.   So I am sure you have these set up for  couples.  I realize this is a sensitive subject and hard to advertise. Please tell me what I could say or to do.   One friend took the e-mail address off of the book that you gave us.   Thanks for everything!    > >  Maxine and Al

Hey everyone ! Maxine and Al here!

Just wanted to share with you all that Al & I went to that Tantra Seminar and we have not felt so close to one another like we do after the last day and a half since we lived in Utica 6yrs ago.  We've come to realize certain  things about ourselves, things we knew but can now put a name with now, understand about ourselves.  For instance, he was talking about how men are and that they always function in their left brain while women are always using both sides of our brain.  But some of the things he was describing of men, he was also speaking of me and I am female. I spoke with him about it and also some things he was speaking of about females Al has and that makes us work because it rounds us out.  He said before I spoke to him that there is always a 10% of females that may have the tendencies of men and vice-a versa.   This man said that it is the men who want to head for the caves in emotional conflict, arguments and the women wants to talk it out work it out.  Well in mine and Al's relationship I am the one looking to head for the caves and Al is the one who tries to make me stay and finish. I need to get away for a bit and prepare myself for this.  Men are usually the ones who need to prepare  for a discussion that involves emotions and he suggested that it may help for we as women to let the men know ahead of time of something that may need some discussion that may lead to emotions so they can prepare themselves ahead of time.  In our case maybe Al should do the same with me, lol.  I also told this guy that sometimes this is what comes between us too because I was the oldest in my family, I was their protector, brought up in a neighborhood  full of boys(@ 13 my mother told me )I couldn't play football with the boys anymore). I was pretty much left to myself because I was the oldest and I was doing fine in school very good grades.  I went into the USMC  and their test showed that I was mechanically inclined and was trained to work on Hydraulic/Pneumatics on OA-4M jets.  And I loved it!  BUT this threatens men because he says they are always in the fear of not being competent.  Al does not particularly like it LOL when I question him on something mechanical because he is very inclined in that respect himself. But sometimes he does say yeah that could be but other times lol don't ask. I also told him that I have never enjoyed being a woman!  It seems the guys have all the fun, but you know what I just realized lol?  Woman can already feel the sexual energy throughout their entire body and the men need our help in being able to do that.  I have just begun at 36 yrs old to enjoy being a woman.  I think I have missed out on alot, but plan on making up for it!  He told me I should ! There was so much more.  Men can have orgasms and many by just learning to breath and not allow themselves to ejaculate and extend it further if they are inclined to feel so much more that it could drive them to tears feeling such an intent ejaculation after having prolonged themselves which gives them more time to work on us and bring us to more orgasms.  Also since they only work off their left brain they don't feel the orgasm through out their whole body like women BUT they can, we can help that.  If we touch another part of their body, suck on their finger it brings their attention to that part of their body and back to their genitals so then they will feel it more thought their body.  Al and I tried this last night and Al was so sensitive afterwards he'd slap me for touching him lol it was that intense for him.  Al always could prolong himself and do a lot of things this man was talking about and he realized he had stopped doing them for me with the babies we had and work. But we are going to get them back and more of what they let us in on .  Al definitely had a Tantra experience last night. oooohoooooooo! There were a lot of things we learned new too. We have to learn to get them together. This blew us away, are you paying attention you'll want to know this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Well first a women should have a clitoral orgasm first before this is attempted and maybe more orgasms (there are three different orgasms that a woman may have the first should always be a clitoral and you should not try direct touch to the clitoris until because then it is engorged and has more protection and the touch won't be too much or even painful for her. ANYWAYS,  the clitoris is like a penis! Yes, and can even look like a penis! NOW GET THIS!   Girls, we can penetrate our guys penis with our clitoris. And he said it is very pleasurable,  for both us and the guys!  I know, Al thought about this one all the way home and we can't wait to try it! There was so much I would definitely recommend this seminar to everyone who wants more out of their relationship all the way around becuz it is not just about the sex. But to have the exquisite lovemaking they describe.  There is a part 2 seminar, we both definitely want to attend anxiously lol.  You can't achieve all of what they said over night it could take 6 months but practicing and working towards it will be fun and worth.  It will get more and more intense as you go along you won't be getting bored.  Probably the hardest part will be for us more than the rest is making sure there is nothing pressing on my mind the 5 kids, dishes are done.  Guys you have to set the ritual for a woman it starts before any touch it's an all day process.  Set the mood in many different ways.  First kids, housework, nothing that will press on her mind she should be doing. Get her mind off those things and concentrate on the two of you.  That's a start! Oh my God! I'm sorry, just got so caught up wanting to share it with you all.  Maybe I should teach my own class LMAO!  My coffee I haven't touched and is cold now lol..  They talked about opening a full time center in Key West next year.  You can find out where the next seminar is  if you are interested. If you have ever felt like you both have become one and was able to feel what the other was feeling and have melted together that was a Tantra experience now we can learn how to get them and not by accident. Yes!  If you'd like to leaf through the book they gave us  cool but it's not going anywhere for quite sometime, LMAO! Well better get going sorry it was so long but not really it's a good thing wanted to share it with ya'll.

MWAH!  =  Maxine and Al
