What distinguishes sexual energy from sexuality and a sexual act?

Why has sexuality become so complicated, conflicted and full of contradictions?

How can one master and best employ sexual energy for spiritual transformation?

The issue of sexuality is one of the most confusing areas in life for both men and women. We frequently mix together different ideas related to sexual energy, without much awareness of what actually differentiates each component. This lack of understanding leaves us without the right tools to address our many questions in this area and without the ability to truly enjoy sexuality or to be in contact with its intense potential for transformation. Sexuality has already become for many an area filled with contradiction, confusion and opaqueness. Some see it as something to be ashamed of, others as something to be afraid of and yet others feel it is dangerous, controlling us or impossible to work with. This is a shame and a loss.

It is time to understand how we can re-integrate this abundant, powerful and beautiful force back into our lives. By releasing the conditioned tension around it and resolving problematic emotional complexity, you can find right there, in you, the ultimate source of power for transformation, enlightenment and liberation.

In this seminar, we will meet the nature of sexual energy as a profound and powerful source for self-creation that holds great potential for our own transformation. We will learn how to master it so it can be used for the purpose of spiritual development.

Shai Tubali will guide us in these course through inspiring talks, guided meditations and special practices. It will be a journey that can move us from a confused and ultimately inauthentic sexuality––which in many ways is often not sexual at all––to an authentic and real kind of sexuality, and from there to a direct understanding and experiencing of sexual energy.

The teaching will also address the tensions between the plethora of spiritual schools and approaches, who, when it comes to the role of sexual energy, disagree with each other to the point of direct contradiction. Some see it as unimportant, something one must go beyond or something that should be ignored. Others believe sexual energy to be good, a crucial sensual experience, generally good or even essential.

In the seminar, you will learn an approach that exhibits no denial and suppression. Instead, we will gain a very deep understanding of sexuality, sexual energy, the ways this energy can be used right and how to direct and master this force as a whole to become a rich, vibrant and energized person, able to merge with the erotic experience of life.

The purpose of this workshop is energetic transcencede and learning how you can break free from the shackles that limit us when dealing with sexual energy.

To get there, we will:

• Familiarize ourselves with the complex and twisted heritage of sexuality.

• Learn what sexuality is supposed to be, can become for us and what it means to experience life through the lens of the erotic.

• Understand how we can enjoy sexuality without being sexual, how we can be connected without taking sexual actions. No matter if in a partnership or other connections.

• Discover how to best work with sexual energy, how to master it, what it means to save your sexual energy and how all of this feeds into spiritual development.

You are invited to:

• Encounter Socrates’ and Plato’s thoughts on transcendence and sexual energy, side-by-side with knowledge originating in Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism and more generally in the realm of chakra wisdom.

• Engage in a process that resolves this conflict-ridden energy field. To do so we will learn how to differentiate finely between sexual energy and a sexual image and how to define each.

• Learn and practice techniques that come from the Tummo Meditation (also called “Inner Fire Meditation”) and Taoistic Tantra.

This event is not primarily concerned with sexual acts, but seeks to teach how sexuality can be harnessed as a leading force for our transformation.

The seminar is for both women and men, and differences will be discussed wherever relevant.
