Additional Workshop Information

This workshop offers ways to generate and make love, joy, wisdom and creativity. The workshop extends beyond a special experience at the retreat center, where people can get more intimate with themselves and their partners. People will also go away with practical tools, which they can practice regularly at home and develop for a lifetime. These tools are excellent for independent, single cultivation for singles and couples. They build the foundation for energy and soul exploration. Participants will be encouraged to be creative with these time-tested practices and incorporate them into their unique personal and professional practice.

The workshop is a wonderful way to get in touch with a source of creative energy that is always available within us. We can consciously tap into or sexual energy for boosting our personal growth. We urgently need this powerful energy to alleviate suffering, since much suffering is caused by the misuse of sexuality. The workshop invites the transformation of passion into compassion with heart-centred practice.

Participants will learn to cultivate love for themselves and their loved ones. By channelling sexual energy and unconditional love, they will explore the unlimited potential and beauty of subtle-body lovemaking. They will learn to consciously tap into universal creative forces. See workshop description for various practices.

The benefits will be increased energy awareness, self-healing on all levels, rejuvenation, and strengthening of the body, particularly the pelvic floor, the floor for all our organs. Preventative medicine can help to avoid conditions like cancer. Having this resource of energy readily accessible heightens sensitivity to intimate feelings, improves concentration and boosts creative initiative to carry through one’s life’s purpose.

This program is for people who wish for abundant love flowing in their life. Many single people lose touch with their sexuality and this is a great way to empower this aspect in themselves. Often when they upgrade their energy they will attract a compatible partner or be more attractive to people generally. Women, who wish to heal or prevent discomfort from PMS, menstruation, and menopause. The practices will enhance hormone balance, youthful vitality, beauty and inner strength.

Testimonials

“Thanks for sharing your gracefulness, openness, fluid movement and shining feminine presence at the Healing Love Retreat. And a special thanks for the intense energy you and Michael generated in the face-to-face meditation demo. That is where I had the strange experience when my heart space really opened up. Your verbal reminders during body movement exercises were very helpful for me in opening up especially when I would drift into automatic pilot. I enjoyed a flowing lightness of being when I got into the groove. The total experience was beyond groovy.” Jerry, participant of Healing Love retreat, NC

“The Taoist health practices were priceless for a relaxing and grounding experience. My body relates resonates with this style and I can become quite calm with these practices. The next day I had already integrated three exercises into my daily routine and continue two weeks later because they serve me well enhancing my emotional balance and compassionate perspective. As well your personal lightness and engaging way created a welcoming and open atmosphere.” Wendy, participant at Sunshine Coast Workshop

“Minke de Vos embodies and shares her subject of Healing Tao with beauty and grace. She is an inspiration to behold, and a joy to learn from.”
Participant in Victoria.

“So far all my teachers have been men and it surprised me how refreshing it was to met you and be with you and your knowledge and experience for the day. I have worked many of the seated practices you taught us into my morning meditation and many of my during the day ‘checks in’ have become clearer and more specific after last Sunday.”
Penny, participant in Victoria Feminine Treasures workshop

“My perception of your work is it has a great potential for opening individuals to a collective energy or power. Unlike Yoga or a lot of meditative practices, I feel that you and the Taoist work and especially how you share it has a potential for creating a connection, or a self knowledge, without years of practice.”
John, participant at Hollyhock
