Awaken the power of your Root Chakra
Tantra For Men - Create the life you truly want by mastering your primal energy
🏝 Auckland, New Zealand 🗓 14 - 17 JANUARY 2027
Introducing the Shivoham - Masculine Mastery Series
Welcome to a transformative journey designed exclusively for men like you.
Shivoham is a comprehensive series of retreats crafted by renowned Tantra master Ma Ananda Sarita and the Shivoham Team.
It is designed to awaken, empower, and elevate every aspect of your manhood.
This training offers a unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern techniques, tailored to unfold in a way that creates a profound and lasting impact on your life.
Shivoham is a 4-level training...
This edition is the first level in the series. We understand that everyone's path is unique. That's why each part of the training is designed to be stand alone. You have the freedom to explore any of the parts without committing to the entire series.
Throughout the training, we go beyond the retreat experience. We provide structure and support to help you integrate the teachings into your daily life, ensuring you reap the maximum benefits and transformations. In between the trainings, we offer two accountability Zoom calls. These calls serve as checkpoints, allowing us to assess your progress, offer guidance, and provide additional support along your journey.
In this edition we will dive deeper into the first Chakra - Mūlādhāra
Shivoham - The Pillar of Light
In this level of Shivoham - 'Pillar of Light,' we embark on an exploration of the Mūlādhāra (1st) Chakra, focusing on your primal nature. This phase includes practices aimed at mastering your vital energy, channeling sexual energy in an 'In and Up' direction, contrary to the typical 'Down and Out' path. This redirection is crucial for transforming and elevating vital energy for physical and spiritual rejuvenation.
The ‘down and out’ direction for our life force energy is a valid and pleasurable way for our energy to move, for the purposes of procreation. However, if you wish to evolve your full potential as a master lover and for spiritual liberation and creative fulfilment, the mastery of an ‘in and up’ direction of vital energy is a prerequisite.
We also work on shedding societal and parental conditioning that shapes our understanding of primal instincts. This process of unlearning and releasing limiting beliefs is pivotal for fostering a holistic self-understanding and integrating our spiritual and primal selves.
This Retreat Includes
Release conditionings and find your unique expression of masculinity
Mastery of your erotic energy
Physiological and psychological aspects of sexuality
Holistic expression of masculinity
