  Using Movement for Healing

When we let go of our thinking minds and allow our bodies to move as feels good in the moment, we can discover areas of our subconscious that were hidden. 

Using magnification of movement to explore our feelings can assist emotional release.  

We will practice becoming extremely present with our present sensations, and allowing emotions to flow, while being witnessed by a partner.

  Freeing Your Beautiful Belly Beast

Come join us as we support each other in re-wilding

 and opening our core bodies, 

using breath work, bodywork, sounding and playful movement!

• Do you find yourself often too busy, too scattered, stressed or distracted by other people's needs?  
• Is it sometimes challenging to know who you are, what you want and how you are feeling?  

Feelings of being lost, overwhelmed and numb are symptoms of our inner disconnection from our deep core wisdom.  We can do a lot to help each other open and heal, using the power of our combined attention to create transformation.

 Spontaneous Healing in the Bedroom

        Emotions around hurts in our early lives tend to surface a lot in intimate relationships, and especially during and around sex.  This is a time of sharing powerful energies, physical and emotional openness, and vulnerability.  Many people find that strong emotions arise unbidden in the bedroom, ranging from sadness, anger, fear, disappointment, rejection, guilt and shame. 

        These moments are wonderful opportunities for healing, if we know how to support each other.  

        Sometimes a lover is the only person who sees these emotions emerge.  

How can we hold space for our lovers and ourselves when this begins to happen? 

   Speaking Truth, Meeting Needs, and Releasing Attachments

How many of us say “yes” to things we don’t actually want out of guilt or a fear of losing connection?  In many ways, “no” is the most daring and intimate response possible – if I can hear your “no”, I can trust your “yes.”  

We’ll practice the skills of self-awareness, transparency, and non-attachment, which help us find the space of mutually desired connection that is available with each person. 

   Welcome to the world, welcome to the family!

Thats the feeling each baby deserves to be greeted with when they are born.  A circle of welcoming, loving people to care for them and enjoy them.  A place to fit in, and caretakers that are sensitive to their needs and feelings.

But many of us were born into a scarcity of love.  The birth experience itself is often disturbed with hospitals, drugs, bright lights and rough handling.  The people are often disturbed and fearful, and lacking support for themselves.  

In this powerful workshop, we will give each other an initiation simulating the birth we wish we had.  Working in groups of 5, each person is wrapped in a womblike blanket and surrounded by the others, who press on them rhythmically and the gradually unwrap them to move them through the birth process and welcome them into the world.   The initiate instructs the others beforehand in how they want to be mothered and parented, and gets the wonderful feeling of having 4 loving parents!  

Healing the Holes in our Hearts

Have you wondered why it seems so hard sometimes to find a deep and lasting feeling of love?  

Almost like there are holes in your heart that cause love to leak out, and not be able to really be felt and enjoyed?  

Some of us had really attentive loving moms, and some of had moms who really struggled with their own distress to give us any nurturing.   

Some of us got lots of touching and breastfeeding, and some got very little. 

The need for the mother is so basic and primal for a baby, and it leaves such a deep grief when we are not able to be as close with our mothers as we wished.  Addressing these early distresses is challenging, and best done within a circle of loving support.  We can access the very young parts of ourselves, and listen to them well, and give them some of the nurturing that we missed.

Come join us in taking a step on this transformative journey, as we work with our relationships to our mothers, with exercises, snuggles, and compassionate listening.

Support for Changing Paradigms

Big changes are happening all around us in the world, and in those we love.  Many of us feel the inner stirrings of a fundamental shift in our awareness and our lifestyles, and sometimes where and how we live.  

How can we support each other in this turbulent time?  Time for deep sharing and listening during these hours, and including some movement, breathwork and touch.

Let your inner mammal explore without your mind getting in the way! 

We will play with blindfolded touch, with whatever level of clothes we choose to have one, and explore interacting from a more primal level of smell and touch and wordless sound. 

This event does not work with consent in advance, so it requires you to communicate nonverbally through movement if you are desiring a touch or not. It’s great to be an ape!

  Are you sometimes told by others that you are "too sensitive"?

Do you sometimes have trouble separating your feelings from those around you?

Are you strongly influenced by the people and environment around you?

Some people are born with a natural psychic sensitivity that makes it challenging to live in our western culture.  Some naturally sense what others are feeling, and some have deep intuitive insights and feelings about the future.  Most of us who have these talents are told we are crazy and that they are not real, so we don't usually get any training in how to manage them.  Come get a class in some basic practices you can do to manage your own psychic hygiene, and gain more mastery with your energy using your mind and breath.

We will work with these topics:

· Grounding to be in the present 

· Being in your own space, owning your space 

· Defining healthy boundaries, working with energy healing

Where the Body, Soul and Awakened Mind Meet

Closeness, awakening, presence, 

deep relaxation, nurturing touch, peace, consent- rolled all together at once.  Sound good?

What happens when all the performance pressure is off, and are just together with no agenda but presence?

Magic happens.

Come join us for a special kind of snuggle ceremony, where we hold each other close, fully clothed.  We relax while we stay present and aware, and focus our awareness on various meditations on being together.

Learn tools for using in any relationship to increase intimacy.

We will begin with an overview of some basic principles of consensual, platonic touch.

We will include various hugging meditations, breathing awareness, eye gazing, focusing on our energy connections, stillness meditations while holding each other, and other connecting exercises.

  Loving with Your Whole Being

Would you like to learn to connect more deeply and intimately with others?

Have you been curious to learn more about Tantra?

Do you want more than what quickie sex has to offer?

Move past blocks to intimacy and take your loving to the next level?

Tantric practice is a powerful way to explore our creative energy potential and expand beyond usual limits to a new level of consciousness. 

This work focuses on deep heart attunement, emotional safety and respect, with emphasis on presence and intimacy.

You will connect with friends of both genders in a series of guided rituals that encourage you to be fully present as you share conscious touch, eye contact, breathing, cuddles, meaningful conversation, etc.  

This is a fully clothed, sensual event. 

  The Art of Sacred Body Worship

Does your own inner priest/ess love to give devotion to others?

If you enjoy ritual and want to learn more about Tantra, this event will delight you!

We will create a strong container of safety and healing, and practice using each other’s bodies as altars for the Divine. We will include invocations of healing powers, and it is a chance for you to call on your own inner priest and priestess to be present. 

The process includes some creative dance, compassionate listening, sensual mediations, and massage. You will have the chance to both give and receive and we will rotate to have short practices with different partners.

This will be fully clothed with no sexual touching. Our primary focus is on honoring, loving and healing and accepting our bodies as they are.  

You are invited to join us in celebrating the Light inside ourselves and each other.  We will create a safe space for deep connection, respectful sensuality and intimacy, creative movement, play and touch. 

You will connect with friends of both genders in a series of guided rituals that encourage you to be fully present as you share touch, eye contact, breathing, singing, toning, massage, meaningful conversation, etc.  

We will not focus so much on a gender bias, so we will not need to gender balance.  People of all sexual preferences are welcome. We will finish with a cuddle pile!

This is a fully clothed, sensual event. 

  The Art of Yoni and Lingam Worship

We will create a strong container of safety and healing, and practice the sacred art of yoni (vulva) and lingam (penis) worship, using each other’s bodies as altars for the Divine.  We will include invocations of healing powers, and it is a chance for you to call on your own inner priest and priestess

The process includes some creative dance, compassionate listening, sensual mediations, and massage.  Some gentle yoni and lingam massage will be invited as an option you might choose.  

Please be comfortable with group nudity, and sexual touching happening in the same room.  Arousal is not the main goal here, although it may happen and is welcome.  Our primary focus is on honoring, loving and healing. Gender balanced.

  You are invited to join us in celebrating the mystery of our energetic bodies, and how we can play with them together!   We will create a safe space for deep connection, respectful sensuality and intimacy, creative movement, play and touch. These practices focus on the subtle energy bodies and the energy flow between us, and are very playful.

 You will connect with friends of all genders in a series of guided rituals that encourage you to be fully present as you share tantric energy practices, touch, eye contact, breathing, toning, massage, meaningful conversation, etc.   

We will not focus so much on a gender bias, so we will not need to gender balance.  People of all sexual preferences are welcome. We will finish with a cuddle pile!

This is a fully clothed, sensual event. 

Would you love to be pampered? We can do a lot to help each other feel happy and nurtured in this sensual, yet non-sexual event.

Our pampering practices will be massage, compassionate listening as they share whatever is in their heart, cuddles or cradling as the receiver wishes, head pampering (hairbrushing, head or face massage, eye gazing) as the receiver wishes, contact improv dancing to lovely music. and sensory meditations as the person lays blindfolded.

We will end with a general cuddle time in one group. Instruction will be given to help you be clear with what you do and don't want in terms of touch and pampering.

Please bring some finger food like cut up fruit, nuts, crackers, chocolate.  Please bring a hairbrush for yourself if you want your hair brushed.  This is a fully clothed, sensual event. 

A powerful ritual where we create a sacred space to adore and honor each other's physical forms as the magical, amazing, divine creations that they are.  We use fantasy and imagery, costumes, offerings, and light, reverent non-sexual touch to step out of our usual personalities and drop into deeper levels of awareness. 

This will have a clothing optional segment, for those who wish to be "skyclad".  

Please be comfortable with group nudity, and bring flowers and sacred objects and jewelry for offerings. 

We will not focus so much on a gender bias, so we will not need to gender balance.  People of all sexual preferences are welcome. We will finish with a cuddle pile!

  Are you wanting to move some stuck areas in your being or life path?

Breath is the most basic and deep pathway to move our energy.

We are trained from early on to breathe shallowly in order to control our feelings. Using the simple vehicle of breathing deeply and evocative music, we will take a shamanic journey into our deep subconscious, assisted by a witness.

 Within a container of a ritual sacred circle, we will open the gates to our energy bodies and allow a cleansing of old stuck patterns. 

Emotions and body movements may emerge as we take this journey, and they can be deep and intense. Whatever arises is welcome. 

We take time for integration and sharing after each journey.

This is a fully clothed, sensual event.

- Joyce berber, LA, CA

 "Transformational Pleasure Puja:

One of the more potent ritual affirmations experiences I have had. Combining sensual physical activation with positive statements affirming what we want more of in our lives, or what we strive to be, was brilliant. It was made more so by having two people caress us while reading our own affirmations back to us."

Bruce Bartlett, Portland, OR

    Anal & Prostate Healing   Massage

The anal area is a place that holds a lot of tension and emotions, that is often avoided.  

Yet it is rich in pleasurable nerve endings and opening this area can release deep seated issues around shame, surrender, survival and physical health.

This is a unique and amazing kind of slow and healing touch on the anal area, which most people have never experienced.  People of any gender can benefit from therapeutic touch in this area.  It is especially important for prostate health, as the prostate tends to accumulate toxins and many men have issues with it swelling. 

Gentle massage is great for it! And it can open new levels of sexual pleasure for a man.

It is relaxing, nurturing, healing and pleasurable all at once. Treat yourself!

This class requires a partner. We will be doing hands on practice trades. 

Involves group nudity.

  Singles or couples welcome, men and/or women as preferred

Directions are given out for people to try the work at home.

The event requires a warm private space, and people willing to be demonstration models.

Bring pillows and fold out pads, sarongs. 

  Why do some people seem to have a golden touch that invites you to melt with pleasure?

What is the essential difference between a massage that feels businesslike or clumsy, and one that is deeply intimate and satisfying?

There is so much more to massage, and healing touch than just giving some good rubs. Our bodies are complex and amazing living systems with so many levels.  With a little training, you can greatly upgrade your ability to give amazing touch!

This introduction compresses many years of training in many different types of massage into a sampler, to give you the basic ideas of how to effectively give pleasure and relief from pain to your loved ones.

Join us for a powerful exploration of the essentials of aware healing touch.  

 Come with a partner or circulate to practice with several others.  We will be working on all genders.

This workshop is non sexual yet very sensual in nature.  

 "The Seven Secrets Massage class was so awesome, relaxing, and grounding, that I thought as I got in my car to drive home: "I wish I could do this again next month!" 

Beth, Portland, OR.  

"What a superb collection of massage styles and techniques make up Blissflow massage. I thoroughly enjoyed what I learned in Amara's expansive class, and I am sure my lovers will too."

-Bruce Bartlett, Portland, OR

  "Thank you,  Amara, it was an amazing group, i connected with so many others who started their healing touch young by helping family members In pain. This was my second Seven Secrets....Massage class, and each one was fantastic. Plus i learn something new every time, catch another title of a life-changing book, and meet more friends."--Eliza, OR

  " “All of my life i have been a bit shy about being in group activity such as this, and i have to say I am so at ease now, and really as i showed up I felt at ease. The universe really does bring like minded people together and this experience is more evidence of that and how it works in our lives if we are open to it.”  Rick S, Eugene OR

This is very deep work that touches into our core channel energies, and can bring up strong emotions and be very transformative.  

It is wonderful for healing any issues around sexuality, body image and for expanding our capacity for aliveness, pleasure, juiciness and full body orgasms.

This massage is extremely powerful and effective to prepare for birthing, and for the general health of the pelvic area. It is great for healing traumas, improving sexual experiences, and deepening sacredness in relationships.

        Amara's intention is to make this work available at an affordable rate, since many similar trainings are not accessible without a lot of time & cost.

Part 1: Introduction, Clothed Self Massage and Buttock Massage

        This class is an introduction to the techniques and theory of sacred nurturing massage to the pelvis, perineum and genital area.   Learn how to share slow and nurturing healing touch with your lovers and friends.

 This will be an overview of the work, including external self massage, discussion, and will not include nudity.  You do not need to attend with a friend.  We will do self massage around our own pelvic and external genital area, with clothes on.  Wear loose clothes.  We will also exchange some awesome massage of the buttocks!

Open to all, no experience needed, no nudity.

This class will include a demonstration of the powerful external and internal massage techniques to open and relax the pelvic area and genitals, and a practice time in pairs.   

This section is a prerequisite for those who have never taken a training with Amara, and will include anatomy, reflexology of the sexual organs, instructions on techniques and demonstrations on both male and female models.

You do not need a partner for this section. Be comfortable with group nudity and emotional release work. 

Not recommended for people who are beginners in healing and emotional work.

If you do not have a partner, you might find one at the introductory class.

This class will include a chance for hands on practice with a partner, while being guided through a series of nurturing moves.  Parts 1 and 2 are prerequisites.  We will do one session on a man, and one on a woman. The focus will be on nurturing touch, and not on sexual stimulation, although we are open to that occurring.

Topics include:

*Discussion and sharing around our past sexual experiences

*Nurturing touch of the hip and pelvic area, perineum, and internal massage of the "Sacred Spot" and prostate massage.  (All techniques are optional; you choose to do internal work or not.)

*Various massage techniques for releasing adhesions in the tissues around the genitals

You must attend with a partner who you know.  Same sex partners are fine.  

"Taking Amara's class has enriched our erotic lives immensely. 

Not only has it provided extremely helpful geographic references to the pelvis, with techniques to dislodge energy blockages, it has enhanced our physical bond, and increased our capacity to experience pleasure. 

We've learned how to create and circulate beneficial Chi energy. 

Almost immediately after having finished the class with Amara, we were able to significantly experience all of the above. We highly recommend this class to anyone."

JM/JM, Medford, OR

"I just watch the recording of your session from Tantra Fest. It was so wonderful.  I had heard that you were a good teacher but oh my gosh this was terrific. And very powerful.   I love how matter-of-fact you are when you teach. It flows so Naturally from you.  I especially enjoyed that you included Chi Nei Tsang  in the warm up because I too have studied and practiced it. 

Sending gratitude and love,"

Magdalena Z,💜🙏🏼, Portland, OR

 "I just wanted to share with you more of what's been happening what a difference the pelvic massage made for me. One is that last night I forgot to mention, I actually felt a release in my kidney. I feel so light in my body and finished a bunch of work that I would normally stress over, stayed up doing it with easy. 

Thank you for the booklet and all of the book lists, that helps a lot. Having looked at the booklet I could see that it's going to be an easy to repeat the steps, everything looks familiar. Thank you for helping us become more aware of our bodies. I think it helps to also invoke higher source in healing to know what goes on with the body, the intentions can be made more specific to ailments too. 

Blessings"   -Sevan, Oregon

"I really enjoyed Amara's Sacred Pelvic Healing Massage class.  Amara's style of teaching is unassuming and relaxing.  I loved the belly massage we did.  By the end of the class I felt super calm and enlivened.  I would recommend this class to anyone interested in getting to know their body better.  Thanks"  Lisa A

Open and energize your sacred female Shakti energy using visualization and movement.

Many women carry shame or fear around our breasts, and this is a chance to clear some of that in a safe supportive circle.  Perfect for beginners and experienced practitioners of Tantra & other arts.

We will be learning Taoist qigong and self breast massage techniques for building our physical energy and keeping our breasts toned and healthy. 

 We will give each other short breast massages and experience the wonderful relaxation and hormonal balancing from that.

We will spend time sharing our feelings about our own breasts.

Womyn healing Womyn

We will learn hands on sacred spot healing massage, in pairs or triads and with longer sessions for practice.  

This will involve external self massage practice, a demonstration of the work for women, and then a practice session trade led by Amara. 

We will learn the basic yoni massage and nurturing techniques, and some gently unwinding orthobionomy techniques for the internal areas. 

We'll work with the emotions that arise as we release the past pain, tension and trauma that may have occurred in these sacred parts of our bodies, in the sacred container of the women's circle.

This ritual involves 3 women in the roles of Maiden, Mother and Crone Goddesses.  The bodies of the women become living altars to each Goddess energy, as she sits partially veiled, decorated with jewelry and finery, with her yoni in view, legs open. 

Event can be done with mixed genders or only women. 

Each participant has the opportunity to make flower offerings and prayers at each of the stations of the Goddess, and to speak to that archetype of energy, however it has played out in their lives.  

The Priestesses practice self effacement and allowing the large Goddess to come through them in that moment, and may respond to the worshipers.  It is a powerful and moving ritual, and can be done with multi genders, or just women.

 Taoist Practices and Pelvic Exercises

(Open to people with yonis)

This is a beautiful experience of cultivating your sexual/sensual Goddess energy, and strengthening your loving connection with your body.

* Our own experiences and attitudes toward our yonis

* Taoist qigong, and pelvic exercises for building our physical energy and keeping our yoni toned and healthy. This is much more detailed than Kegels!

Learn how to flex your clitoris, and isolate the various rings of muscles inside and out.

* We will look at our own yonis in a mirror.  Bring hand mirrors, wear a sarong or skirt.  This is a very liberating and empowering activity that helps us move beyond shame and into admiration and amazement of our own bodies.

* We will give a special blessing to each woman's yoni for healing and opening.  This is a very sweet an nurturing women's magic we can offer each other.

This support group is a beautiful experience of cultivating your sexual/sensual Goddess energy.   

 We will be learning ancient Taoist qigong, and pelvic exercises for building our physical energy and keeping our  yoni toned and healthy.

This class will explore:

* Powerpoint presentation on Yoni Secrets - Anatomy and energy structure of your yoni-

The amazing and complex structure of the female organs, and the Taoist reflexology zones hidden in them.

* Our own experiences and attitudes toward our yonis

      Did you know that women have as much erectile tissue as men?

        What is amrita?  

What are the secrets to learning to ejaculate, and why would you want to learn that?

        What type of yoni do you have?

        Where is your female prostate and what is it for?

Since our yonis are so hidden, we often never see another woman's beautiful flower.  Sometime we have not really looked at our own. 

 This is a chance to explore our anatomy, learn about our amazing structure, and give each other blessings and appreciation.  

We will discuss the hidden structure of the clitoris and Sacred Spots, and female ejaculation.  Then we will do mirror work, with each women looking at her yoni with the others around to support, as she notices the unique design she carries.

        Our last process will be blessing and adorning each other's yonis with flowers and jewelry, and taking a photos of the yoni altars that we create.  

The group will create a magical intention for the protection and respect of each woman's yoni.
