Details of this retreat
DaddyGuru has teamed up with Yoga Hrvatska in Croatia to offer a unique and one-of-a-kind tantra experience that will open, expose and integrate your innate feminine (Shakti) with your innate masculine (Shiva).
Your Shakti houses your sexual + creative energy while your Shiva houses your awareness. By learning how to integrate the two through the heart space , students can experience and understand the power of both innate energies and the completeness of the soul.
DaddyGuru Tantra pulls you "out of your head" and leads you "into your heart" by providing deep dives into tantric philosophy, connection, flow, surrender and intimacy practices that stimulate the kundalini, open your vortex, resonate your inner truth, and aid you in embracing that perfectly imperfect, infinite you.
This clothing optional, 7-day retreat is strictly for cis men who connect romantically and sexually with cis men and is a plunge into the world of authentic, living tantra. Practices and philosophies behind this powerful way of life will focus on:
+ Self-acceptance,
+ Surrender,
+ Self-love,
+ Disconnection from the ego,
+ Recognition of your inner truth,
+ Igniting and knowing your innate feminine (Shakti),
+ Awakening your innate masculine (Shiva),
+ Moving beyond the blockages and densities
