The Ecstatic Sacred Sexual Rites of Antiquity – Private Initiation Retreat in London and Athens.

My initiation into tantra began with great reluctance. I had an inexplicable aversion to India and her vast, seemingly contradictory, mystical heritage. Although I was surrounded by acquaintances who had a love affair with the culture, I remained unmoved. My interests were partial to the mysteries of pre-classical antiquity, their myths, sacred sites and ecstatic chthonic rituals of the Goddess and her dying-and-rising immortal lover.

And yet, when I discovered, amid my awakening process, the archetypal and cultural parallels in the erotic-mystic rituals of ancient tantra, I had to surrender my resistance and open to the study and practice of the unfamiliar, the rejected and the taboo — how fitting for tantra.
