The Path of Transformation: Tantra and Shamanism (John Hawken)
John Hawken has over 30 years’ experience running transforming and life enhancing personal growth groups in Europe.
Learning to experience energy, in yourself, others and the world, is the key to awareness and presence, and the power to create your dream as your reality, in beauty, in freedom from fear and with integrity. We invite you to surrender to the streamings of life, to expand your potential for excitement and for sensitivity, to live with more aliveness and awareness, and to balance your desire with accepting the truth of the moment.
The paths of transformation consist of six different paths for personal growth and life transformation:\
The Tantric path
Tantra is the path for anyone who wants to open to life more and who is interested in developing their own personality in the area of energy, consciousness, creativity and sexuality. The Tantric Path heals the separation between the heart, spirit and sex and allows us to feel the sacredness inside of us again.
The Path of Touch - tantric massage
Touch is a vital form of nourishment and affirmation, and sensual massage a way of communicating non-verbally and directly. To receive a tantra massage is to be initiated into tantric experience and tantric consciousness. Often tantra massage can be the first contact with energy and the energy body and the potential of expanding sexual energy into the whole body.
The Path of Energy - Bioenergetics
How we embody and express our energy makes our psyche and our patterns of reactions to life visible. We hold in our bodies the energy we dared not express when we were vulnerable children, both as a tension in the muscles and as a charge of energy in the organs and connective tissue. This fixed form of expression and defence is called our character. It is our social, adapted self, and blocks and represses our spontaneous flow of life energy, our wildness, including large amounts of our sexuality and creativity.
The Shamanic Path - Contemporary Shamanism
Shamanism studies our energetic connection to everything around us, the elements, the minerals, plants and animals, and especially the spirit connections, including to our ancestors, our karma and our sacred dream. We develop our ability to perceive energy and spirit through our energy body, the awareness of which brings us into an expanded state of consciousness. John Hawken teaches in the beauty way in the tradition of the Twisted Hairs medicine teachings he studied with Arwyn Dreamwalker.
The Path of Pilgrimage
The ancient tradition of pilgrimage creates change by letting a journey through an outer landscape become a mirror to stimulate an inner journey through an inner landscape. We work strongly with the four elements to create soul alchemy, and in the power places of the world to open the gateways between outside and inside, between macrocosm and microscosm. These power places once experienced become a resource in the soul memory to which the pilgrim can return at any time.
The Path of Dark Eros
Dark Eros is the transformation of fear and guilt and of anger and blaming. It is the exploration of existential, first-chakra based sexuality. The fundamental question is, is the basis of our life fear or pleasure? Fear is excitement with contraction, as every horror film buff or rollercoaster fan knows, pleasure on the other hand is excitement with relaxation and expansion.

Workshops:
1. Free Your Body and Flow!
Tantric Way to freedom
Our bodies are tight and contracted, we hide our emotions and our wild nature for it being too much, overreacting or simply not acceptable in the cultured society.
Deep in our hearts we feel longing for freedom, love and fulfilling our sacred dream.
Tantra has always been a path of the rebels. For those who do not want to conform, live in the old ways. It is a path of conscious CHOICE and direct experience. And it offers a myriad of ways of teaching you to be free. As a bodyworker I want to show you the simplest and easiest ways to understand the Tantra – through your body. During the workshop you will experience on your own the major principles of Tantra.
This workshop is an invitation to the world of Tantra. You will experience you body as a flow of energy that can contract and take various forms. You will learn to expand beyond the forms and flow connected to the ocean of life.
You will:
- Learn to notice how you contract to various physical and emotional forms and how you can choose to change that
- learn how to move and allow energy to charge your body so you can become a channel between heaven and earth, spirit and manifestation.
- explore the tantric alchemy of focussing your consciousness to create the forms of energy that serve your sacred dream and your soul purpose.
- Learn how to cultivate the energy body as a means to perceive directly the energy level of life and participate in the mysteries of love, sex, relationship, spirit and connection.

Workshop for beginners and others who want to understand the principles of Tantra. No nudity.
2. The Art of Pleasure - Tantric touch
Touch me with your hands, eyes, presence, touch me with love.
We all need conscious touch and pleasure, just as we need air, food and water. This workshop will give you permission to immerse yourself in a pleasant exchange of conscious, sensual and erotic touch in a safe space for healing, transformation and even ecstatic experiences.
The aim of the workshop is to bring awareness and presence to touch in order to massage each other with heart and soul. Intimacy and closeness are born in the heart. Tantric touch bypasses the busy mind, allowing direct communication from heart to heart, body to body. Tantric touch is communication without words, pure presence and feeling, where there is no room for thoughts, fears and tensions. At this point, we can truly relax to discover each other experiencing pleasure and bliss.
In order to achieve this level we need first learn how to create a safe space to touch, how to communicate our communicate our needs our partners.
During workshop, we'll cover the following aspects of Tantric Touch:
- Consent to touch
- Giving and taking touch
- Receiving and allowing touch
- Types of touch
- Communicating needs and experiences
- Opening Heart massage sequence
"When I touch you with love, it is not my hand that touches, my hand is only a tool.
By Touching, I remember who touches who is inside. "

3. Dark Eros.
Dark Eros is a term to describe sexuality which is connected with our first chakra rather than with the second; that arises from existential issues rather than from pure pleasure, love and contact. The existential themes, whether they are about power (over or under), about anger and revenge, about guilt and shame, or carry issues of self worth and empowerment, colour the sexual energy with this touch of darkness, as the issues are usually unconscious, perhaps obsessive, or have an energy that threatens to break out of our conscious control. This is not the element of ego, of performance or narcissism, but more the dark visceral movements of energy deep in our gut. The major theme of the first chakra is that of transgression. The child experiences its self, its individuality, by opposing authority, by breaking the rules or saying no. This is the anal phase of sexuality, when the energy moves from the mouth and the desire for merging and symbiosis to the base of the spine and the desire to be cheeky and naughty.
These existential issues can be healed and transformed through Tantric techniques of consciousness, heartfullness and an affirmation of the life-expressing energy of pleasure.
The existential issues arise out of the repression of our sexual energy during the pre-genital stages, oral and anal, of our sexual development. When rejected, our excitement and pleasure become collapse and resignation, when controlled become guilt, fear and the unconscious linking of excitement with power, suffering and punishment.
This workshop is authorised by the Paths of Transformation of John Hawken, where Freya is co-teaching with John Hawken.
Workshop for intermediary and advanced, nudity optional.
Participants come in pairs.
4. RED TARA: Sexual Empowerment of Women
It is time for us women to reclaim our sexual power by putting the attention in our bodies and allowing ourselves to truly feel....
Tantra brings together sex, heart and spirit.
Through conscious body-awareness combined with dynamic, tantric meditation, we can access a blissful state of being and regain the means for our own sexual pleasure.
Let us become naked together. It’s time to liberate ourselves and celebrate the wildness, the tenderness, the ferociousness and the beauty that we are.

RAW CACAO PROPERTIES
Cacao is one of the most nutrient rich foods in the world. Aids in longevity and has many powerful antioxidants. Theobromine dilates blood vessels, relieving stress on the heart, and sharpens your mind. Cacao contains many minerals such as iron, chromium, zinc and potassium. But first of all, cacao has the highest magnesium content of any known food. Magnesium relaxes the heart, muscles, cardiovascular system and mind. Helps reduce insulin resistance and can aid in weight loss.
Among the many health effects of cocoa are: improved heart function stimulation of the nervous system, facilitated digestion, and improved kidney and bowel function. In addition, cocoa has been used to treat anemia, mental fatigue, tuberculosis, fever, gout, kidney stones, and even poor sexual appetite.
Ecstatic dance
Ecstatic dance, also called trance dance, movement meditation has its roots in shamanic traditions. Throughout the world, indigenous people danced at the fire and journeyed into a trance. They danced to prepare for war, for weddings, births, conception of a new baby, to heal themselves or someone in the community.
Ecstatic dance movement is growing all over the world, everyone can dance it the old, the young, big and small, thin and fluffy, businessmen and hippies, students and factory workers. Because there are no boundaries and no divisions to dancing, there are no "steps” that you have to learn, no rules and copy rights. It belongs to the people and we all know it, its in our body, in our genes, in collective consciousness. We are all dancers, members of one world village, urban or rural tribe.
The principle of dancing is simple: let your body feel the music and move freely. Dance as if nobody's watching! (Because no one is watching, you do not have to judge, everyone is taken by the trance dance)
During Ecstatic Dance, we release stress, relax your body, calm your mind, connecting with the music and other dancers.
