Collaboration, The Art of Tantra

A great way to look at others and the system of connection and communication that comes from the ancient thinking about harmonious relationships. There are many systems to look at how we relate and connect as energies, different personalities, different strengths and weaknesses, common skill sets among people.  Tantra means expansion, so its system is based on coming together for expansion through  collaboration.

It is  is the way in which tantra is taught that I like. To experience different dispositions  in an active, playful way. In doing so you experience, empathize, know what it feels like when one comes from that disposition. There is a conscious recognition mentally but also emotionally and physically. You jump in and out of different ways and realize what is natural to you and what is not. You also realize that these are energies, ways of being and that in the end you can move and be whatever way you want.

Then it becomes play, a conscious choice on how you proceed with others. When you recognize the different types of characters, you identify with them through feeling so they are easier to blend with. You also realize that whatever role you play, it is flexible, it is not who  you are really. It becomes a game of blending, of making different roles work together. You can step out of your way and create with another without getting caught up as easily by thinking you are this role.


Through the play and practices  learning Tantra, you have a magical way to perceive others and your role in working with them. We shift and switch roles continually with certain groups naturally in life. So through these teachings and the theater of it, you can be more conscious how to connect. You also realize why relationships, especially in groups, can be so challenging when the different energies or roles are all added together. Of course conflict issues and there are leaders and followers, it is the only way that a blend can occur. You learn to be more fluid with yourself and your way, which allows for an easier connection to others.

It is a wonderful experience to engage in Tantra learning. That is why it is monthly held at The Lotus Project. Experiencing group dynamics in an engaging, enlightening way. Empowering yourself through learning about your ways so you can easier experience harmony on all levels. Playing with ideas on this magical hill. We still have openings for our February 18th Class at 6pm. It is a full evening so come to enjoy! Check our calendar: http://www.harmonyhillgardens.com/lotusproject.php
