Embodied Spirituality is simply a way of the heart. It honors the traditional teachings
of Tantra and presents them in a contemporary context. Many of our teachings come from Taoist techniques for strengthening
the immune system, training the mind with powerful meditation skills. It is also well known that when these practices become
activated with the heart, miracles happen. Our teachings have been inspired by the dynamic ebb and flow of the ocean itself, which integrates the natural movements and conscious breathing of dolphins
and whales, combining them with those of tantric teachings.
The Embodied Spirituality Programs offered by Kutira and Raphael include more than
expert guidance in Tantra. A diverse array of pleasures await you in
each program. You may even get to immerse yourself in the unique and
ethereal music of Raphael's internationally known "Music to Disappear
in" recordings.
All
of the programs include a healthy sampling of yoga, meditation, deep communication skills, breath
work, massage, healing, loving rituals, dance, music, theater,
alchemy-mandalas, powerful visualizations, positive ceremonial magic
practices and more.
These teachings are often supported with spontaneous music, ritual, healing
laughter, trance-dance and theater. In these experiences, for example, rather than the participants following
the music, the music follows the creative flame of each individual,
utilizing each person's unique characteristic and movements as the source.
