What is Tantra?
Many think of Tantra as a way to enhance their sexuality. While that is an amazing benefit of practicing Tantra, that’s only part of the picture.
Tantra isn’t just a practice. It’s a path of spiritual advancement—a methodology derived from a sophisticated lineage of yogic masters of the ancient world. These methods enable us to cultivate the energy of our body, mind, and soul so we can blossom into our authentic natures. By doing so, we can more joyfully and skillfully engage in our contemporary world. By recognizing our power within the quantum field of love and light, and the influences we can have within it, we can master positive change in our own lives and the world at large. The ego mind believes having its desires fulfilled will bring happiness, but that is seldom true. The soul lives in bliss. By identifying more and more with your divine nature, you release your desires and discover who you truly are.

Your Facilitator:
Amanda Ananda is an International Tantric Facilitator and Domestic Goddess of two outrageous boys.
Amanda has a diverse Tantrica background that allows for a unique, blissful and radiant experience to unfold in her workshops, online courses and sessions. She has studied with The School of Tribal Tantra based on Kashmir Shaivism and Shamanic Ritual, Ipsalu Tantra—Kriya Yoga based on Osho’s dynamic teachings, and Babaji Nagaraj’s esoteric Cobra Breath Technique and Urban Tantra combining modern tantric philosophy with conscious kink.
Amanda is a life-long student and immerses herself in the sacred teachings from the Temple of Isis and The Rose Lineage. She is currently diving deep into Somatic Experiencing Trauma Healing and learning to incorporate scientific knowledge about our miraculous nervous systems with the ancient wisdom of Tantra. Amanda encourages everyone to make joyful well-being their first priority and to live blissfully in this intense world by gently taking care of self. Her techniques will help you become fully embodied with simple-yet-profound tools you can apply in your daily life.
Working with Amanda will assist you to clear what blocks you from your true light, guiding you in opening up to the miracle of life, and embracing the bubble of “Ananda” (or, in English, Bliss!) that is constantly accessible to us all. She is tremendously enthusiastic and humbled to share these teachings with the wonderful souls who say ‘HEAVEN’S YES’ to time spent with her.
