Awaken as Love Stage 1 in Tulum 2025

https://www.tulumtantrafestival.com/training/ The Awaken as Love Initiation is a journey open to everyone – it begins with a choice to go on an adventure that will expand you beyond the boundaries of your current existence. What will it bring to you? More awareness, more love, more inclusion, more juice to your life and more depth if you allow it. This first stage is called “Initiation” because if you choose this then all your experiences up until now have led you to this point and you are obviously ready to step into a wider reality – in doing so you enter fresh and new, open to discovering more. As you step into this journey you will encounter maps that help you understand the larger world and your place in it (this is beyond your imagination), tools which help you to play more fully in this world, embodied experiences which help you to anchor a new reality and finally ongoing resources which help to integrate and incorporate this into your life. This certificated course will give you practical tools, maps and experiences to be able to embody a deeper understanding of reality, and how to that to engage more fully and live more of your potential. Supporting this are presence and insights from international facilitators during the week long process, sharing groups to help you connect and express your experience and a 60-page guidebook that help with your continued unfolding. You will be discovering Tantra, Biodanza, Shamanism and Integral Theory. PRACTICAL INFORMATION Dates: The training runs from the 17th – 23rd Feb 2025.
