Dawn CartwrightThe Fire That Pierces The Heart Master Class
Bhakti Fest 2019 Post-Intensive & Cacao Ceremony

How does our body feel when love begins to emerge from the depths of our longing? When we spiral together as lovers? How do we invite this and cultivate it whether we are single, in a relationship, or lovers for many years? The fire that pierces the heart.

Neo Tantra is a path to gain access to the inner love affair taking place in the heart. A way to heighten our sensitivity and increase our capacity to feel by becoming more alive and intimate with each other and life itself. Through these practices, we awaken to the extraordinary beauty of a deeply loving alertness that has always existed within us. We open to our true capacity for love – which is endless.

You’re invited to join Dawn Cartwright and guest musicians Jaya Lakshmi and Ananda Yogiji for a Bhakti Fest Post-Intensive and Cacao Ceremony that will change your relationship to sex and love forever. Singles and couples welcome.

You’ll be guided through a series of practices designed to awaken your natural ecstatic response. You’ll learn the anatomy of devotion.

The understanding that we are all entwined with Her; physically, energetically, mentally & spiritually; we are all her children. Now more than ever we must awaken and act for ourselves, future generations and all of life.  Both as individuals and as a community, we must become more aware of our actions and choices and how they affect the web of life. And what we can all do to become earth activists, raise awareness and join the global revolution for conscious change and planetary awakening for everyone. The time is now.
