Horses, You & Your Relationship

A transformative journey, exploring the realms of tantra, sexuality, communication, relationship dynamics, and horses. Tantra originates from the Sanskrit word "tanoti" (expansion) and "trayati" (liberation), signifying energy release and consciousness.
The connection we share with horses is unparalleled; they act as a bridge between wildness and domestication, expanding our minds and liberating our souls. These magnificent beings establish profound bonds, offering themselves as unwavering witnesses to the human experience. Horses, tactile creatures by nature, derive security from touch, a vital component for fostering bonds and providing social support. Our four-legged friends act as an exceptional intermediary, facilitating exploration of our interpersonal connections among humans. They serve as open-hearted, unbiased mediators, enabling profound bonding and genuine connection. In this miraculous partnership, horses, with their distinct worldview, join humans, fostering trust and a special form of communication.
Embodying this here and now experience, thoughts and conditioning are shed, allowing trust in our bodies and alignment with the present. As we trust ourselves, a space for stillness and empathetic dialogue unfolds. Intimacy, trust and conscious awareness transforms actions and behaviours, enriching relationships with our loved ones.
Participate in this Workshop and foster trust, alignment, vulnerability, authenticity, and identify new paths to transformative relationships.

Climax Choice
Embracing Radical Honesty, Conscious Sexuality & Sacred Love-Making.
A Three Day Couples & Singles Retreat with Horses. - 20 - 22 June 2025
At Shiva Shakti Festival we held a safe and well attended Conscious Sexuality workshop called Climax Choice.
A korero engaging radical honesty on the often unspoken and socially taboo subjects of orgasm and ejaculation, performance anxiety, relationship and sexual disfunction, the stressful challenges and also sharing the skills, experiences and celebration of relationship and sexual harmony and the profound intimacy possible when the goal of orgasm and ejaculation shifts to being a matter of choice.
We are so excited to confirm that this three-day residential workshops will expand these offerings to give the time and space to explore these subjects at a gentle pace that allows presence and depth with some personal downtime to integrate the learnings, as we go.
Also included are several follow up zoom calls to allow even greater wrap around support, group feedback and further integration of the retreat learnings and experiences.
