About the Facilitators
"Sexuality is not only what we do in bed, but our entire creative aliveness"
My early life was the catalyst for deep soul mining and birthed my dedication to the awakening of deep truth. Exploring and questioning the very foundations of what our current understanding of psychology and development put forward. The idea that we need parents, the real possibilities beyond trauma. An embodiment of what it takes to live a life beyond what we are taught or told.

My work is a living Tantra, a Transpersonal expression that includes the personal, spanning 30 years as a corporate trainer, psychotherapist and coach; guiding individuals, couples and groups in living an embodied life of awakening and self-leadership. I inject my abundant creative energy into the art of DJing, and can be seen at festivals and conscious events in London and further afield!
Workshop
1. The Tantric Breath Experience
“The Tantric Breath experience brings us to a still resting in our core energy centre. Through conscious, connected breathing, and gentle movement, the moment opens up – to pleasure, your natural state of bliss and sexual energy flow. Anything is possible…”
This Tantric breathwork journey through the body is a method of self-empowerment which uses conscious, connected breathing to release stress, create relaxation and awaken the body to it’s natural birthright of physical and spiritual well-being.
I have been facilitating breathwork for the last 8 years in large groups and individual sessions, and it’s got to be THE most powerful practice to facilitate freedom, bliss and healing. Take this opportunity to harness the transformative power of the group field, and dive into the deep mystery of you, in this gentle and empowering journey through the Hindu Tantric energy centers of your body, the chakras. Awaken your inner healer, and feel reborn through the power of conscious breathing. You may cry, laugh, feel intense tingling in your body. You are alive!
- Feel a deep intimacy and safety with and in your body, essence and all of life.
- Feel alive and Juicy, nothing to do with age!
So many of us have a strong desire - a yearning - to let life, love, sensuality and pleasure flow through us with more ease. And yet, often we can feel in fight or flight mode, that keeps us from the flow that we know is possible - even if we have never experienced it before. I have spent many years supporting individuals in identifying and clearing the main obstacles to accessing the flow of sensual and sexual aliveness in their bodies, lives and relationships.
HOW? This event is in five parts. Firstly we will do some kundalini shaking, to shake us into the present moment. Then you will find and settle into your own space (this is a solo practice) and relax as I go through the introduction. Then the main Tantric Breath practice of around 1 hour, which I will guide you through the whole time, followed by a relaxation stage. Then a short hugging section, which is especially important for any feelings of isolation or fragmentation that may have been stirred up with the breath. Finally, there is space to sit together and share. The journey is guided by me, with powerful music to facilitate your deeper awakening. I would love to welcome you.
The music to accompany us is a carefully created DJ set, with a specific attunement to each chakra. You can listen to a recent, very different kind of set (that got to no. 31 in the Nu Disco chart), here https://www.mixcloud.com/DakiniKimaya/sex-to-spirit-morning-set

2. Erotic Wisdom for Sensitive People: Mindfulness and Sexual Energy
Exploring mindfulness and sexual energy as an embodied practice
Mindfulness practice emphasises embodied awareness, yet desire easily pulls us out of ourselves. Cravings and compulsions blur our boundaries, fear or loneliness disconnects us, we lose ourselves in fantasy and yearning.
This workshop is about exploring desire and sexual energy, compensating for the cultural shame, spiritual taboos and personal issues which often ignore this vital aspect of experience.
HOW? Through meditation, somatic embodiment visualisation, discussion and somatic relational exercises will support a gentle exploration, opening the senses to the creative, dynamic and enlivening aspect of desire. Areas of exploration will include:
- Your relationship with pleasure, relaxation and the erotic nature of our own bodily experience
- Boundaries; when and how to negotiate wisely between availability and withdrawal
- Embodiment and the inner dynamics between aloneness and contact
- Exploring and defining our field of awareness

3. An Experiential Workshop in Tantric Activism for Spiritually Sensitive People
What is tantra anyway?
When most people hear about tantra, they imagine SEX and think that a tantra workshop would be filled with good looking, fit types, getting it on. The pure meaning of Tantra is to awaken to our true nature. It’s not just about a limited sexual expression, though it embraces that as a part of the spiritual path. Tantra on its own can end up as something that’s indulged in and seen as separate from the rest of your life.
What do I mean by ‘activism’?
By activism I mean inquiring deeply into your true nature and from there discovering your heart’s longing and calling, purpose in this life and uncompromisingly bringing life to this purpose in a way that thrills you and brings you joy. People want to be around you. They feel good in your presence. So many people have an idea that they're boring, or not important . What I know is that no-one is boring when they're being themselves - we won't necessarily resonate with them, and that's fine. Activism on its own can become a constant battle of trying to get people to do something ‘right’ or see something the way I want people to see things. It can be an exhausting loop, that feels ineffective a lot of the time. This approach doesn’t seem to be changing people’s minds.
So, let’s combine the two: tantra + activism.
Tantric activism is :
o When people around you notice your openness and vibrancy - there’s a real lightness to you that is a panacea.
o When you want to bring the essence of your spiritual awakening into more of your life (including your work to create positive change in the world).
o An approach to life that acknowledges our power.
o An approach that reaches further than societal, cultural or group dynamics. By choosing something freely, it becomes possible we are reaching into a deeper part of ourselves, a part earned from our own experience of the Hero's Journey.
o A commitment to emotional maturity – cultivating a clear and direct relationship with our feelings (being able to say what is actually happening, without using any judgement words, though they might be coming up), taking back projections, process work psychology, seeing the outside as you.
o The lifetime commitment to the true freedom that comes from standing in the new story.
o Liberating everyone (ourselves included).
o About going deeper. Imagine roots as a metaphor. On the surface it looks like we are all separate, but we are connected, in the deep, by our roots. Depth matters to me, because it's the only way I can feel and understand life.
o the name for the totality of my work.
Going Deeper Than The Drama & The Trauma:
At its heart, Tantric Activism is about going deeper than whatever drama may be in our present and whatever trauma might be in our past so that we can create a future free of both for ourselves and others. Drama and trauma are both very real but Tantric Activism is based on the understanding that there is something much deeper than either of them in ourselves and in the world.
Join us and dive deeply into your relationship with YOUR desire. Discover, expand, heal and transform blocks to intimacy and embody more of your essential essence, and deepen in the wisdom of the heart.
HOW? We will be using body-based and transpersonal techniques and practices, solo, in small groups and in the group as a whole, including inquiry, somatic exercises, depth psychology, clothed Tantric practices. It's an entirely experiential workshop, which opens up the possibility of experiencing yourself beyond the familiar. I would love to welcome you.

MORNING PRACTICE:
1. Sexual Energy Heaven and Earth Chakra Meditation by Kimaya
A two part meditation I created, the first part is called the download meditation. It’s a meditation that connects us to inspiration, intuition and a spiritual knowing that comes from above. It works as a visualization, moving into part 2, to gently awaken the Hindu Tantric energy centres of the body, the chakras, and to infuse them with your own sexual energy, which you have an unending supply of. It's a solo, sitting meditation, with 5 minutes lying down.
