What is a Tantra Festival?
A Tantra Festival is all about you being you. Tantra is not the next thing to learn, do right or follow to the ends of the earth. The Tantric way is a journey within. What is in the way of loving yourself fully? Receive more love in your life? Abundance? Allowing your voice to be heard and emotions felt? A Tantra festival is not about learning something new, but remembering who you are and doing it together with others seeking to do the same!
I will be running two workshops as part of One World Tantra Festival
1) Pity Party – Tuesday November 24, 2020 22:30 – Wednesday November 25, 2020 00:30 PST. This would be 2:30 – 4:30p.m. Singapore time
Besides being a seasoned Relationship Counselor and Clinical Sexologist Dr. Martha Tara Lee is also a certified Laughter Yoga leader. In Laughter Yoga, we recognise that the body doesn’t know the difference between real and fake laughter or tears. Healthy people can laugh and cry. We can do what we feel like doing, or we can start to do and our bodies will follow. In its fake it till we make it philosophy, it can be cathartic in releasing what the body needs releasing and for the mind to then follow.
In this laugh-cry pity party session, Dr. Martha Tara Lee will be supporting to work with whatever needs releasing through fake laugh-cry, and perhaps they will become real laugh-cry. There is no need to go into story if you don’t wish to.
There will be break-out rooms for sharing, and emotional support provided. All tears, emotions and laughter are welcomed.
Please come wearing comfortable clothes and do not come with a full stomach. Do have tissue and water on standby next to you.
2) Orgasmic Yoga – Thursday November 26, 2020 23:30 – Friday November 27, 2020 01:30 PSTThis would be 3:30 – 5:30p.m. Singapore time
The term ‘Orgasmic Yoga’ was invented by Dr Joseph Kramer who created the Sexological Bodywork certification. Orgasmic Yoga is not at all like common forms of yoga; rather, it’s an embodiment practice that involves pleasurable, intimate, and transformative elements that individuals, couples, and groups can do while sexually aroused. It is not about complicated steps or awkward poses, but is rather an exploration of your body involving the use of pelvic floor squeezes, breath, movement, sound, touch and intention.
As a trained sexological bodyworker, Relationship Counselor & Clinical Sexologist Dr Martha Tara Lee has been teaching sexual techniques for the past 10 years. She is also author of the book ‘Orgasmic Yoga’ and a trained sexological bodyworker. As a facilitator she has a direct, straight-talking, and witty facilitation style. Prepare for jokes, personal anecdotes, and plenty of fun!
The Orgasmic Yoga practice itself recommends self-pleasuring for extended periods of 30 minutes for 30 days to break habitual masturbation patterns, allow for new body-mind connections (neuropathways) to be developed, and ‘rewire’ the body’ so that new pleasure sensations and expanded ecstatic states are possible.
Dr Martha will demonstrate and guide you to embody the deliberate use of the following elements (pelvic floor squeezes, breath, movement, sound, touch and intention) into your self-pleasure practice. The workshop will end with each participant self-pleasuring on their own mats for 30 minutes and ending with ‘The Big Draw’ culmination exercise.
You will learn how to:
Appreciate your sexual responses
Experience more orgasms
Acquire the skills to last longer
Kickstart your creativity
Love your body and life more deeply
Appreciate your body as a source of wisdom, happiness and freedom
Feel more alive, look more vibrant, and manifest more
Join us to become more in touch with your body, breath and pleasure!
This workshop is open to all genders and sexual orientations. There will be optional off-camera nudity but you’re welcome to stay clothed to whatever level is right for you. Please do not come with a full stomach.
Format:
Welcome + introduction
Practices involving the use of pelvic floor squeezes, breath, movement, sound, touch and intention
30 minutes of self-pleasuring on your own mats (clothing-optional, self-touch only)
Sharing + Q&A
Interactive and Experiential parts:
Almost the entire presentation will be interactive and experiential. This is a clothing-optional workshop – please bring your own sarong/towel, and any preferred lubricant, plastic gloves, and condoms (ie some people choose to ejaculate into these). You will only do optional genital self-pleasuring on yourself (staying in your own area), though you will learn some practices you might do at home with a partner. We encourage you to participate in the self-pleasure practice yet you’re welcome to opt out. Nudity is welcome, as is staying dressed.
Core Benefits for Participants of this Session:
Increased sexual knowledge, confidence, and performance
Letting go of the sexual shame around nudity and genital touch
Understanding the link between pelvic floor squeezes, breath, movement, sound, touch and intention, and attaining ecstatic states
Bring:
Come in comfortable clothes
Your own towel/sarong for lying on the floor, and any preferred lubricant, plastic gloves, and condoms (we will also provide these)
Pillow(s) for back/ head support if you like (there will also be cushions available)
About Dr. Martha Tara Lee
Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee set out to make a positive difference in embarking on her doctorate in human sexuality before launching Eros Coaching in 2009. Today, she remains dedicated to working with individuals and couples who wish to lead self-actualised and pleasure-filled lives.
She also holds certificates in counselling, coaching and sex therapy, and her fourth degree – a Masters in Counselling in May 2018. In practice for more than 10 years, she is the only certified sexuality educator and certified sexuality educator supervisor by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) in Singapore.
Often cited in the local media, Dr. Lee is the appointed sex expert for Men’s Health Singapore, and Men’s Health Malaysia. She was recognised as one of ‘Top 50 Inspiring Women Under 40′ by Her World in July 2010, and one of ‘Top 100 Inspiring Women’ by CozyCot in March 2011. She has published four books: Love, Sex and Everything In-Between, Orgasmic Yoga, From Princess to Queen and {Un}Inhibited.
Martha works with individuals and couples in private coaching sessions, and conducts her own workshops. She takes prides in making sure all her workshops are also fun, educational, and sex-positive. This comes easily to her because even though she is extremely dedicated and serious about her work, she fundamentally believes that sex is meant to be fun, wonderful, amazing and sacred. As such, this serious light-heartedness has shone through again and again. For her full profile, click here. Email her here.
