ALCHEMY OF THE HEART
Learning the Art of Intimacy with Self and Another
Tantra Groups
TANTRA 1 RETREAT: Meeting yourself in Love
In this first stage, we invite together what has been frozen, repressed, or shut down in your life and body to come alive.
In the safety of loving awareness, we explore how to redirect attention from conceptual thinking into sensations, breath, and felt experience. As this happens, the body remembers its innate intelligence, and emotional blocks can be met and integrated without harm.
Here, vulnerability becomes strength — and sexuality becomes a doorway into deep presence, joy, and intuition.

TANTRA 2 RETREAT: Meeting with Another in Love
We shift from doing to being. In Part 2, rather than sex being a goal‑oriented act, it becomes a meditation in motion — a chance to meet your partner and yourself through presence.
Here the pressure to perform dissolves, replaced by a deep friendliness with vulnerability and a relaxed, embodied experience of energy flowing between lovers. Together we learn how sexual energy can rise and be experienced as communion, discovery, and deep intimacy.

TANTRA 3 RETREAT:
BECOMING LOVE
​This level explores how the energy we know as sexual becomes a portal into expanded states of awareness — following the lineage of inner tantra and practices inspired by ancient meditative teachings such as those found in Osho’s Vigyan Bhairav Tantra (The Book of Secrets). These teachings build on the skills from Tantra 1 & Tantra 2 and show how sexual and life energy can be felt, witnessed, and transformed into presence, consciousness, and transcendence.
​
Here we cultivate a subtle awareness that travels up the chakras — from grounded sensation into heart resonance, expressive clarity, intuitive vision, and ultimately openness to vast inner presence. This is not about techniques alone, but about awakening the inner watcher, the felt sense of being alive, and the intelligence of the body’s energy flow.

I received such insight while being coached by Karuna. I felt as if I woke up out of a dream. Since starting to work with her, I have made a complete shift in my lifestyle and my relationship.
