Laurie is teaching a one day workshop Intro to Tantra called "Bliss" on Sunday 9/20/09 in Rockville.
Here are some of my favorite quotes from Laurie's Sex & Happiness: The Tantric Laws of Intimacy book:
- “If I could distill all my advice about Tantra and sex into one sentence, that sentence would be, Make love in the unknown. In answer to all your fears and doubts about sex, I’d simply say to you, bring back your beginner’s mind. Come to the bedroom with no expectation. Come with openness in your heart for whatever happens.”
- “In Tantra you'll feel more peaceful, more tolerant, more aware of the world that has nothing to do with doing; everything to do with being.”
- “Intimacy with another requires first and foremost coming to peace with your own emotional and physical needs.”
- "Through Tantra, the power of sexual energy is able to render transformation."
The workshop begins after dinner at 8pm. I invite you to join us, though as always what ever choice you make you will be honored in.
