C) INTIMACY RETREATS

Workshop Vacations for COUPLES! Create Magic in Your Relationship! Learn to deepen your intimate connection on all levels: physical, emotional and spiritual. Richard & Diana Daffner, M.A., present Tantra Tai Chi and the path of sacred sexuality in a fun, vacation setting. There is no nudity or sexual activity in group sessions. You return to your rooms to enjoy 'home-play' assignments in private. ● Tantra ● Tai Chi ● Massage ● Meditation ● Coaching in the Art of Intimate Relationship. Brochures available: 941-349-6804, www.IntimacyRetreats.com.

Why attend an Intimacy Retreat?
Listen to Radio Interview 

When you experience deep intimacy with your beloved partner, your face glows and your heart sings. You feel connected in your soul. Learning to be intimate involves attending to the energy that moves through your body. As you develop the ability to direct this energy, you maximize your aliveness and sexual presence. You become more sensually, emotionally and spiritually responsive to your partner and to life in general.  Participating in sacred ceremonies helps you shift your consciousness into heightened awareness. Your heart opens into new realms of bliss.

Diana and Richard Daffner teach Tantra as a body-centered path of deep intimacy, sexual fulfillment and transpersonal joy. Sharing what works for them, and more importantly, what matters to them, the Daffners draw on over twenty years of teaching experience in Tantra, Aikido, T'ai Chi, Massage, Reiki Energy Healing, and Meditation. Originators of Tantra Tai Chi, and certified sexologists, the Daffners blend esoteric knowledge with down-to-earth practices at their Intimacy Retreat workshops for couples. With their supportive and dynamic guidance, you will learn the skills of intimate bonding, sexual meditation and "peaceful passion!" You will transform your relationship into a love affair!

Intimacy Retreats are about awakening and celebrating this joy of love.  Lessons are available through vacation/workshops and private instruction. Learn the secrets of keeping love-energy powerful and present in your life, while you vacation in one of the world's most beautiful resort locations!

G) HERE II HERE

In January 2008, Here II Here was born. Formerly known as ‘Inner Voice’, this group of musicians came together in Miami in 2004 with a musical mission and intention influenced and informed by planetary peace makers, jungle spirit teachers, alien life forms, and a wide range of musical missionaries from iconic hard rockers, sugary pop stars, and soul-drenched R&B wailers. Over the last four years, this American-Latino band has been perfecting their compositions as both a circle of talented musicians and a vocal harmony group, singing their inspired songs in both English and Spanish. Here II Here has been moving crowds to a frenzy with its rhythmic blend of tribal pop, illuminated rock, and soul-inspired R&B harmonies resonating with innovatively inspirational lyrics of peace, awareness, connection, laughter, and of course – love. Their talent and message has caught the attention of local press who have called the Here II Here sound “meaningful mainstream Pop / R&B”. Industry veterans catching the buzz throughout and beyond Miami have been clamoring to be a part of the story emerging with Here II Here.Here II Here has had the distinct privilege of sharing the stage with some of the most highly evolved human beings in our time, the kind of people that most top pop artists would sacrifice one month of their top indulgence to be in the same room with - individuals such as The State Oracle of Tibet (Spiritual Advisor to H.H. the Dalai Lama), Rev. Michael Beckwith (The Secret, The Moses Code), and author Neale Donald Walsch (Conversations with God) to name a few. HIIH has performed in a myriad of settings, from the United Nations (NYC) to yoga studios and spiritual centers, to the American Airlines Arena in Miami. It is a new era for the band Here II Here, just as a new era is dawning throughout the world. The resonance for change is not only being called upon in the political arena or among many congregations of faith, but on the street, in homes, in sound systems and ear buds where the hunt is emerging for original music, with substance and relevance, that sounds familiar but is absolutely new. Here II Here is both leading and riding this wave of the emerging new music revolution. For more info, check the website: http://www.hereiihere.com.

Watch HERE II HERE's song, TIME IV CHANGE, set to stirring images of the Obama Revolution. Watch and please share. Click on the image above or go to www.hereiihere.tv. Want to Make a Video with HERE II HERE Music? Do you have a personal vision for the song HOLY? YOUR DREAMS? ... or maybe I DON'T KNOW $#!T? (surely THAT gives you a vision or two) ... Email us at here@hereiihere.com and let us know what you want to do. Let's co-create some deliciously finger-licking conscious goodness! Let your creative juices oooooooze and floooooow!

Wednesdays, 7pm – SPIRITUAL GATHERING FOR SELF DISCOVERY

We feel, like many, that the beginning of the New Year provides an increase of positive energy for the manifestation of goals and intentions for the coming year. Beginning on Wednesday, January 7, we will be starting a series titled “Mapping Out Your Journey”. This is a 3-part process that will include guided meditation, journaling, reflection and sharing, and the completion of sacred art and a ritual to help you manifest your heart’s desires for the New Year. This process helps to find hidden blocks and fears that may be keeping you from achieving the goals you want to achieve and helps you to create a clear picture for taking action. This will support your creation of a positive and true intention for the whole year and years to come. If you cannot make all three nights, we can provide you with materials so you can still join us when you’re available. Each week will focus on a different aspect of spiritual development from guided meditation, spiritual and psychic development, sacred art, shamanic journeying and group discussion. Everyone is welcome to attend, regardless of religious background or experience, remember to bring a pen and notebook for capturing your experiences. We suggest a $5-10 love offering for each night attended. Please call or email us for directions to our home.

Thursdays, 7pm – HEALING CIRCLE

When people gather together to share positive and uplifting energy amazing things can happen. People are enveloped in love and support to they can fully release the negative aspects of life and step into a sacred space of peace and love. Please join us in our healing circle and lend your own positive energy to the circle and to the world. When we share love and peace with each other in a small way it spirals out into the world promoting love and peace for everyone.

June 2010 – 12-DAY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY TO INDIA: IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF BUDDHA

Sacred Tours of India presents: Sonam Dhargye, a former Tibetan monk will lead a 12 day spiritual journey to India in June of 2010. There is room for 20 people to accompany Sonam on this trip of a lifetime walking in the footsteps of Lord Buddha. In 1959, at the age of four, Sonam escaped with his mother from Tibet along with tens of thousands of other refugees who followed the Dalai Lama into exile in India. There he grew and became a Tibetan monk and chant master -- recognized for his ritual multiphonic chanting. Later he mastered other tantric rituals of sand painting and butter sculpture. To this day, Sonam creates mandala sand painting or butter sculptures and serves as advance representative for the Dalai Lama when His Holyness visits America. The trip includes 3 full days in Dharamshala, residence and headquarters of the Tibetan government in exile and the spiritual center for the Tibetan Buddhist community led by His Holiness, the 14th Dalai Lama. While in picturesque Dharamshala, the closest one can get to Tibet while still in India, participants will have the opportunity to meditate with monks in the monastery and visit with lamas. Other locations include Delhi, home to a large community of Tibetans; Varanasi the holy city or religious capital of India; and Bodhgaya the plalce of Gautama Buddha's attainment of enlightenment.
