Tantra - The Yoga of Love
A Retreat with Deborah Taj Anapol, Ph.D.

Deborah Taj Anapol attended Barnard College, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California at Berkeley, and received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Washington in 1981. Dr. Anapol is the author of Polyamory: The New Love Without Limits (1997), co-founder of Loving More Magazine and producer of the Pelvic-Heart Integration videos (2002). Compersion: Using Jealousy as a Path to Unconditional Love is now available in xerox pamphlet form, and she is currently at work on a book about balancing feminine and masculine energies. Dr. Anapol has organized and produced several conferences as well as working with couples, families, and individuals who are exploring conscious relating, tantra yoga, and sexual healing. She leads seminars nationwide, and is an inspiring speaker who has appeared on radio and television programs all across the USA and Canada.

The purpose of Tantra is the transformation of consciousness. Unlike some spiritual paths, it embraces the body as a temple and erotic energy as a vehicle for self-realization. Our program allows you the opportunity to relax, revitalize, and reconnect with your own Source. Each day begins with hatha yoga, meditation, and a walk in nature. We gather as a community in the morning, afternoon, and evening to learn and share together. Our intention in coming together is to explore tuning in to the subtle rhythms of breath, energy, and eros. As we harmonize body, mind and spirit we increase our capacity for aliveness. Then passionately living and loving flows effortlessly! We'll be working with breath, movement, massage, energy, and communication. This workshop is appropriate for partners or singles.
