Private Sessions

For you

We invite you on a journey of self-discovery through Tantra: a beautiful ancient art, science and philosophy that teaches us how to use our potent life force of sexual energy into a healing, meditative and blissful energy that moves us through life with far less effort than we can imagine.

Once we rediscover our true sexuality and sensuality, once we realise our potential and learn to channel our sexual energy, our lives will become prosperous and abundant with love, health, happiness and empowerment.

A private individual or couples session provides you with a special opportunity to learn the ancient skills of sensuality, Tantra and sacred sexuality through experiential sessions. Usually sessions are a combination of talking and experiential. 

Some individuals or couples prefer talking sessions only or alteast initially, that is okay, you can still address the many issues of sexuality, relationships, love, communication, behavioural patterns, sexual abuse, jealousy, overcoming fear, career, health, understanding masculine/feminine dynamics and finding life purpose.

Your commitment

We are dedicated to supporting your overall wellbeing. We want you to reach your maximum potential from your individual or couple session, for this reason we ask that when you come to your session its with an open mind. You will gain so much more from the session by making a commitment to be real with yourself and having a willingness to 'step out of your box' to new experiences in your life. The more powerfully you show up for your experience, the more we are able to assist you.

Your initial session

Your initial visit is always a 90 minute talking session, this is where the ground rules and boundaries are discussed and set. During the session you can expect to talk about confidentiality, your sexual history, your past relationships, your health and family background and general life issues. 

In this way, the initial session is more than anything about information-gathering and developing a therapeutic relationship between us. Although real and meaningful issues are often discussed and worked on even at this early stage.

Ongoing sessions

Although it is true that every session is different, a typical session falls into two parts.  We normally begin by reviewing where we are and what progress has been made, and what has happened, since the previous session.  We then might spend more time exploring and understanding the issue or problem. This exploration is an interactive and relatively informal process - we work together, asking questions, discussing possibilities, reflecting on the situation, and so on.

When we are clearer as to where we are and what we are dealing with, then we employ the particular approach or approaches required to address it. Often a number of techniques will be outlined and we choose the one that we agree is best for you. This may be a talking session, experiential session or a combination of both. 

Throughout the session we always endeavour to proceed at a pace that you are comfortable with, while at the same time being aware that sometimes sessions need to have some challenge in order to be effective. 

What happens in a individual or couple's session?

Individual sessions may be either a talking session and or a experiential session. Sessions can vary from gentle to dynamic and evolve differently depending on your individual needs and desires. We honour your commitment and courage to create this opportunity for introspection and transformation. Whether or not you have a clear idea of what you desire going into your session, as you change, deepen, and explore, your boundaries will always be honored and respected.

Like individual sessions, couples sessions begin with a discussion, finding out what each of your priorities are for the session and how you would like to improve your connection. Some couple's prefer to only have talking sessions. Other couple's prefer to go further and have experiential sessions.

After the discussion in a experiential session, a Tantric massage or sensual ritual demonstration might be shown, so that you can both practice these ancient sensual rituals on each other. You will both deepen your way of connecting and loving more sensually and fully. A big part of the experiential sessions is learning how to meet each others needs in a way that does not take away from your needs.

Will I have to do things that I don't want to do? Can I say no?

In each session we welcome and support you to say NO. You will be encouraged to reclaim your power. This is done in part by being able to define your own boundaries. Through processes which will connect you with what feels right for you in each moment, you will be able to clearly define and state your boundaries – and know that they will be respected. This simple exercise allows us to reclaim our power in being able to say NO! This increases self-confidence and in itself can heal wounds from our past.

Who will you be seeing for your session and what is their commitment to you?

Andrew Barnes is available for talking sessions with men, women and couples and experiential sessions for women and couples. Yvonne Lumsden is available for talking sessions and experiential sessions with men. 

We are fully committed to providing you with a space that is safe and sacred, where you can grow, release and transform. All sessions are private, fully confidential and are designed to nurture, awaken, and help you grow. You will learn tools that you can use in your everyday life and relationships. Within a safe, nurturing environment you can relax and open. You can release what no longer serves you, such as old limiting beliefs, fears, and blocks. As you open fully to your essence you will learn how to circulate and channel these newly awakened energies in ways that support you in living a more integrated life.

Why does Andrew do the sessions with women?

When men have harmed women so much on both personal and cultural levels, you may ask – why trust a man to heal these wounds? The answer is, in part, because some wounds caused by men can only be healed by men. The essence of the mature masculine is being present, focused and having clear intention. When doing this work, Andrew sits in his masculine. He witnesses without judgement. He creates safety and holds the space in which healing can occur, allowing whatever may arise.

Every woman has been hurt by a man. These wounds need not be anything as dramatic as sexual abuse, though Andrew works with this too. A physically or emotionally absent father can be enough to colour a little girl’s view of men and relationships for a very long time. Simply being empathically witnessed by an accepting man can be incredibly healing for someone who has been wounded by the masculine. Being affirmed by a man who has no agenda can also be very healing.

Part of Andrew's role is simply to encourage, allow and bear witness to whatever arises in these sessions; without criticism, without taking it personally. Unexpected emotions can be released – grief, rage, pain – can all arise and be released in the safety of that space.

The essence of masculinity is presence – that deeply felt sense of awareness, strength, safety and trustability that comes from being grounded and focused when a man is fully in his masculine.  Being witnessed and affirmed in this healing by a masculine presence can not only heal these wounds but awaken the divine feminine which resides in every woman.
