As a wounded healer, Amrita has poured her heart out onto the pages of her new book, Reclaiming Aphrodite-The Journey to Sexual Wholeness, as an inspiration to all of us who are on a soul journey of reclaiming our birthright of sexual wholeness. Amrita will share information about her full recovery from sexual addiction using alternative (non 12-step) methods, resulting in her current evolution as a high-integrity sexual healer overflowing with gratitude and joy.

ILEANA STEFANESCU
Presentation: Tantric Orgasms. Initiatic Connections to the Chakra System
This presentation will teach you the keys to experiencing and understanding different types of orgasm, as they are related to the chakra system and total energy control.
In the act of lovemaking the couple embodies the dynamic wholeness of the Supreme. Tantric sexual union resonates with the very foundational energies of the Universe: it captures, magnifies and redirects the Essential Cosmic Power of Life.
The point is to return to the practitioner the enormous amount of raw sexual energy contained in semen and in the correspondent female orgasmic fluids in such a way that this subtle energy may be sublimated and its efficiency used for higher purposes, i.e. psycho-mental and spiritual.
The class will also include video presentations, practical techniques and meditation.
Ileana will also talk about the amazing experiences of her unique spiritual journey.

Her guiding quote is: In life we are meant to create like a god, to command like a king, to work like a slave, to sleep like a child, to love like an angel, to fight like a hero and to die standing like a tree.

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!

Moses Mas has trained in meditation and internal martial arts for over thirty years, through the study of Tai Chi Ch’uan, Wing Chun, Hsing I, I Ch’uan, western boxing and various forms of Taoist and Buddhist meditation from several notable masters, including Master Gate Chan, Grandmaster Henry Look, Dr. Daniel Lee (Bruce Lee’s #4 student), Benjamin Lo, Abraham Liu, Hawkins Cheung, Don Stewart (who was George Foreman’s trainer) and several others. Today, he is a student in the Complete Reality School of classical Taoism, into which he was initiated in 1981. His training in Taoist and Buddhist meditation has helped him to become a human behaviorist, with unique insights into human behavior, motivation, discipline, and mindfulness.
His approach to Taoism and meditation has infused his entire life, and as a result, he has attempted to live the life of a modern Taoist. Early in life, he was a physicist trained at Caltech; he was one of the early inventors of Internet computer games; as a CEO he built the 97th largest, 7th fastest growing, and 11th most profitable in the country; co-developed various Internet standards with IBM. Today, he runs a boutique high tech incubator, is the author of a small book of modern Taoist poetry, is the co-founder of OneTantra.com for fun, and runs a small independent film production company which plans to make indie films with Taoist leanings.
He will speak about what's coming up next for OneTantra, the largest and most vibrant social network for the global tantra community.
Suzie Heumann
Presentation: Tantric Speculations on Sex, Science & Spirit
I'm fascinated by the latest scientific discoveries in neurobiology. Specifically, I'm studying things like: -Why is transformative eye gazing so easy for some people and so difficult for others? -What neurohormones affect us during arousal, orgasm and afterglow? -What physical actions are being activated when we have full body, multiple blended orgasms? -What is happening when we create lasting body memories that are healing and how can we facilitate the remembering? -What kinds of practices can we do when we are younger to help us create the best possible sensual, sexual and loving conditions as we age? -Theta Waves, memory, touch, meditation, relaxation, Ecstasy (MDMA), Oxytocin, Prolactin, Dopamine, Serotonin and more! I believe that one of the next levels of Western Tantra is to use our growing understanding of how the body functions to facilitate the activation of deeper practice. By engaging our mind's understanding of what is going on in our bodies we can expand our experiences of the body on a much deeper level.
