Baba Dez
Presentation: Embracing Arousal, Personal Growth and Planetary Union
It seems for myself and many I know, it is ever more challenging to relate to Self, fellow humans, and the world as wounded. In our wholeness how do we open to be more full and expressive channels of creation? How beautiful, magical, abundant, and delicious can life on Mother Earth be?
You will not want to miss Baba Dez for his talk describing the incredible journey on his latest World Tour and unfolding his vision for next year's tour. Embracing Arousal... in 5 countries... Personal Growth and Planetary Union. Learn how each culture views sexuality and integration of mind-heart-emotion and embodiment of the divine self. Meet some of the presenters from South Africa, Europe and New Zealand to hear first hand accounts of the awakening that occurred in each country.

Laurie Handlers
 Presentation:
Moving Through Intense Emotions with Tantric Techniques
When people tap into their sexual energy or that of another, often they encounter powerful emotions like sadness, anger, fear and jealousy. Feelings inform us, but do not define us. They are like the weather on any given day - meant to move in and move out like storms. In this presentation Laurie will demonstrate how to move these emotions through, up and out of the body by using tested and true Tantric techniques. The emphasis of this exercise is emotional and physical intelligence. The presentation is geared for practitioners who work with people in a hands-on sexual way, the necessity to move the energies through clients and to then clear themselves afterward. It's a fun and very noisy presentation!

Shakti Malan
Bio:
Shakti Malan is a dakini and member of the Advait Tantraschool; see tantraschool.co.za. She has a strong and well established practice based in Cape Town and runs retreats across the country. Her work includes individual and couple sessions, in-depth courses, workshops and longer retreats on the practice of Tantra; see http://shakti.co.za. Two specific areas of focus in her practice are female sexuality and blissdance, an expression of Tantra in dance
and movement.
Shakti's first immersion into meditation practice came through the Christian Mystical tradition, for which she has
deep appreciation. Tai Chi and yoga taught her the beauty of presence in the body, and how to follow the wisdom
of the body-mind. Dancing, and particularly Biodanza, really opened her to the passion that flows through our cells,
and that enables such deep creativity.
Life also brought Shakti significant work with Shamanism (Native American, Celtic and African traditions), which opened her eyes to the multi-dimensionality of our world, and the worlds beyond.
At the end of 2001 Shakti had a series of experiences that made clear to her that her life is about only one thing: awareness, awakening – and that catapulted her into my path as a Tantrika. Through visions she was told that her real name is Shakti, and that this name carried the direction of her work in the world. Then followed four years of deep immersion in spiritual practice. Like the old Christian desert fathers, Shakti went to live in the desert for a while, and went through a significant dissolving of self. Here her Tantra practice started. In 2003, Shakti met Leslie Temple Thurston, an Advaita teacher whose processing and meditation techniques have radically changed her life. A few years later, she met Rahasya, director of the Advait Tantraschool who initiated her into the work of the dakini. His extroadinary guidance opened her to the radical, experiential wisdom of Tantra as a path of awakening.
Shakti has a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology, practice also as a social sustainability specialist, and is a trained teacher and process work psychology facilitator.

 Rahasya
Bio:
Rahasya was born in Zambia in 1962, raised with considerable freedom, curry and yoga. He moved to South Africa in 1970 and hs lived here, mostly in Johannesburg ever since. Rahasya escaped mandatory military service in the army of apartheid, worked underground on two of the world's deepest gold mines, worked on films as AD, stunt man and fight sequence director. He had a career in Graphic Design, started a successful small business and fathered two children. Along the way, Rahasya followed his deep interest in martial arts, massage, meditation and sacred sexuality. A long time fan, admirer, lover, of Osho, Rahasya finally got to Puna and took Sannyas on the 21st of March 2000. A little while later, his sexuality was completed, desire dropped, and after some months of celibate bliss, he started helping others with sexual healing and tantric practice. Those he worked with encouraged him to a more open, available way of teaching, which continues...

BRUCE LYON BSc, Dip Clin Hyp., MSE, PhDE
 Presentation: Cosmic Tantra & The Arousal of Earth
This presentation looks at the global emergence of sacred sexuality, the redemption of the feminine principle, 2012, the galactic alignment, the awakening of planetary kundalini and the activation of the earth's chakra system as interlocking parts of a planet wide initiation. Through a series of experiential exercises, metaphors and archetypal images from the mystery traditions we will seek to align with the universal process and thus deepen our individual and group emergence. From black holes to our assholes, we will follow the thread of divine darkness flowing in to awaken the bliss body of earth.
