Rasa
Rasa’s service for the higher realms thru sacred ritual started at the age of ten.
He left Germany at the age of nineteen, to travel, to explore and to find answers to his questions. After a few close calls and a brush with death in a bus crash in Mexico he came to the U.S. During his time in the United States he came upon text and religions he heard of, yet never considered studying before. Shamanism, Vedic and tantric principles caught his attention and answered many unsolved questions. To finance his living he worked in a mineral and fossil store. This added a new layer, as it presented him with information in regards to metaphysical aspects.
After his return to his native roots he learned all aspects of mining and preparing of Minerals, polishing rocks and gems into various shapes and sizes, designing of jewelry and buying as well as selling. This enabled him to travel and to further his studies in the esoteric/metaphysical world. At the age of twenty-two he learned the art of massage and was introduced and instructed in the art of healing with crystals, minerals and other tools. While traveling in the pursuit of Minerals and Fossils he was fortunate to meet many healers and teachers sharing their insights.
At the age of thirty his son was born in Scottsdale, AZ and the following year he moved his family to Sedona, AZ.
In a vision he saw how he would combine his shamanic studies and lifestyle with his creative talents. Creating a continuing series of Dream Warriors he also started guiding visitors around the Sedona area. Thru his loving the land and his desire to share his passion he met Baba Dez, a shamanic/tantric teacher who offered him an apprenticeship as a Daka, teaching him the art of tantra and sacred sexuality. Rasa now offers his services at the Sedona Temple and guides individuals and groups on land journeys throughout the Sedona area. Not in this area, yet have the desire to have Rasa visit you personally? He will travel and visit you in your environment, throughout the continental United States and Hawaii. For availability please call or send an email with a short description regarding your desires and intent for a session with Rasa and he will personally contact you to set up an appointment or to discuss any travel arrangements.

Ian Ellington
Ian is an Erotic Healer, Physician, Usui Reiki Master, Conscious Integrative Breathworker, Tantric/Taoist Bodyworker, Sacred Intimate, and the former Atlanta Coordinator for Body Electric. He draws on all of these disciplines to carry the message forth that our Sexual Nature is our Divine Right, that our Erotic Energy is the Life Force, and that Awakening fully to this Erotic Energy in our Bodies can be a pathway to Higher Consciousness.
Ian has been following the Tantric Path since 2000. He has trained with several organizations and individuals, including The Body Electric School, Bodhi Avinasha and Tantrika International, Rudy Ballentine, Jack Painter, Mantak Chia, Margot Anand’s Love and Ecstacy Training with the Institute for Tantra and Meditation and numerous others. He is a devotee of and grateful for the works of Eckhart Tolle, Andrew Harvey, and OSHO.
After 19 years of working with women as an OB/GYN, Ian has now devoted his life to working with men who are seeking personal transformation and growth. Sexual life force energy has been known for centuries to be a pathway to higher consciousness and to a deeper connection with the sacredness of all there is. Ian works with his clients to transform this primal erotic energy into spiritual energy and bliss and guides them on a journey to embrace the pleasure of their body while breaking through old learned patterns of emotional blocks, taboos, ignorance and shame that limit their access to this ecstatic energy that is our birthright.
For many men, sexuality has been strongly influenced by a culture that teaches us from a young age that sex is to be hidden, not spoken of, and quiet. Our bodies take on this conditioning in the form of tensions, sexual dysfunctions, addictions, and intimacy issues. Our raw, primal, sexual nature is suppressed and replaced with mental noise and we lose our connection to our original Source. By bringing awareness to these old traps and reprogramming our bodies, we can awaken to more clarity, insight, creativity, self-esteem, personal growth and spiritual evolution.

With the roots of her spiritual practice in Wicca, Kypris was led to tantra through visions of Aphrodite and Shiva, and transformed through solo practice of ritual, energy channeling, bellydance, and yoga. Led to her tantric partner by a powerful shamanic dream, Kypris practices tantra today in tandem, and works as a spiritual coach, healer, and teacher.
