As a facilitator and speaker on awareness
and self-realisation, working with individuals, couples
and groups, Stephen uses the spiritual teachings and practices
of Tantra to catalyse practical experiences in life. His
special interest within this is the acknowledgement, integration
and natural expression of sexuality, and how this connects
to ideas of love and relationship.
He is engaged with the formation of various initiatives
on the theme of sexuality:
- Living Tantra,
on the first Thursday evening of each month, is a monthly
group for anyone interested in an ongoing practice of Tantra,
providing support, sharing and practice of basic Tantra
exercises.
-
The Breakfast Thing, on the
second Thursday morning of each month, is a monthly informal
gathering intended as a fluid conversation space to openly
discuss relevant topics around sexuality.
-
Movie Night*,
on the third Thursday evening of each month, is a monthly
movie screening and dialogue intended to challenge and
provoke discussion on different areas of sexuality and
its expression.
- EroticSpirit is a support and on-line community
that stands in support of a positive sexual expression
as an inherent part of our human nature. As a collaborative
initiative, it's purpose is to connect those seeking experiential
knowledge and awareness of their sexuality to the practical
resources available for this exploration.
- SexDialogue is a meeting and conversation 'conference' for individuals
who find personal expression of their sexuality in different
interest groups and communities. It is an opportunity to
meet others with an interest in sexuality from these diverse
areas, and to share, experience and manifest a future where
a healthy integration of sexuality is embraced, honoured
and celebrated with the fullness of our potential as human
beings.
Stephen completed the Harlequin experience
under Chistopher Neville's direction as a foundation towards
developing self-awareness and personal-power. This was
followed by two years in counselling training with Yahuda
Tagar of Persephone
Institute, based on Rudolf Steiner's
Anthroposophical approach to personal development. He presently
forms part of the Advait Tantra School under the experienced
guidance of colleague Dakini
Shakti, and studies Lojong Tibetan Buddhist teachings and practices through Shambhala
International. |
