A tantric holiday with Margot Anand & Gopal
The Art of Everyday Ecstasy is a transformative personal development program created by Margot Anand and Gopal, based on Margot Anand's bestselling book, The Art of Everyday Ecstasy.
For the first time, a program will deeply explore the techniques behind each of the Seven Tantric Keys presented in the book, which delve into the secret alchemical process of our energy centers.As a pioneer in this field, Margot Anand’s teachings have inspired generations of readers and practitioners. However, many struggle to integrate what they have learned—or even what they teach—into their daily lives.This program invites participants to embark on a two-year journey of personal transformation. By making a heartfelt commitment to living an ecstatic life now and mastering these techniques, participants will enrich all aspects of their lives.By incorporating these keys into their daily lives, participants will experience firsthand the higher levels of awareness available through these processes. As Margot says, “Ecstasy is a skill we can learn.”
The journey from energy to Ecstasy, from unconsciousness to awakening, is the most profound journey one can undertake.
▴ When energy flows unobstructed through the body, enhancing our sensory experiences and deepening our connection to life, we experience pleasure.
▴ When pleasure is accepted in trust, it expands our perceptions and transforms into delight.
▴ When delight arises through a mind free of negativity, consciousness awakens in clarity and we discover the lightness of being.
The art of SkyDancing® Tantra teaches that our true nature is revealed not by renouncing the joys and pleasures of ordinary and sensual life, but by immersing ourselves in them with such acute awareness that the bliss of our natural state becomes evident in our own experience. We can find it in our jobs, our homes, our kitchens, our partners, and our bedrooms.
A truly unique occasion!
Margot Anand, the Queen of Tantra, is the woman who has changed the form in which the West conceived sexuality. Thanks to her teachings and techniques, entire generations have expanded their consciousness and “have found God in bed”!
