In my previous newsletter, I informed you about some changes we made at WildTantra for this year.
One of those changes is about opening up the advanced retreats of the Path of Awakening to people experienced in the field of meditation. Up to now the advanced retreats were open only to participants of The Path of Awakening Level 1 (first year retreats).
Now for you to take the jump into the advanced retreats, you might like to know what it is all about!
The Path of Awakening Level 2 comprises 3 advanced retreats essentially devoted to open up our energy to something much bigger than us! It is about moving from adolescent stage to adulthood.
What does it mean?
Childhood and Adolescent stages:
In our energy evolution we mature from an energy centred on ourselves (childhood stage) to people around us like family and close friends (adolescent stage). Most of us stop at adolescent stage and many do not even reach there.
Those stages are important exploration fields where we learn about our capacity to give and to receive. And if we are lucky enough to be in a loving spiritual family, we also learn to create and to care. Unfortunately, that it not the case for the majority of us!
In childhood stage all those capacities are explored in the realm of the family and once we move to adolescent stage the field expands to friends, lover(s) and to our own children (if we get some). This expansion of sharing energy in those stages entails shadows such as jealousy, possession, greed, anxiety, arrogance, manipulation… These stages are basically very ego-centred. We give-receive and create-care under a lot of conditions! The adolescent stage has also its own rebellion crisis against some values we have been conditioned with in our childhood; a crisis to reclaim individuality; a crisis of ME first!!!
While these stages of expansion of energy are vital for our maturation, they are most of the time not expressed with the understanding of how and what energy is. In our education system no-one teaches us about energy thus not about feeling, sensing, intuiting it. We grow through childhood and adolescent stages missing out one of the most essential understanding of life: We are energy beings and everything and everyone around us is energy! We grow up only busy with the material aspect of life and the believe that this is all there is! From there we get very much off-balance by emphasizing possession, conqueror and competitor drive. Thus, we fight and even kill for what we possess; might it be a car, a house, a wife, a husband, a child… We are so blinded by all our things and the so-call sense of security and safety they give us, that we deny sensing the life energy flowing in all of them. We limit our perception by fear of losing all those things and we gather more things and even create some more! And we stay stuck in that loop which over time becomes very destructive (just observe it in our societies!).
And now, adult stage!
This expansion of energy which might sound not easy, even not possible for some of us, is actually our birth right. The questions you can ask yourself are:
This last question is interesting because actually we don’t really know what we want, yet we have the arrogance that we know. We have so much pretention saying I want love while beating up our wife, children, while killing our neighbors, while cutting down forests, while slaughtering animals… So much contradiction in this adolescent stage!
In the adult stage, we start to know what we want. And let me tell you it is really not what you are thinking about right now!! It needs great purging, cleansing, enquiry to get there! In the advanced retreats, we clear, we heal, we get at the bottom of our teenager arrogant stupidity. We say thank you for all the games we played and stand up straight, open our wings and fly high to get a new vision, perception of life, of our life. From this new point of view, we get to know what we want and what existence wants of us all. We get to know how to weave a reality rooted in love and consciousness.
Now, sit back… Be honest with yourself. Look at your life…

We mostly describe energy as “negative“ or “positive” or as “light” and “dark”; however in the Andean tradition of the Paqos (medicine men/women) they use other terms, such as namely light and heavy. Those terms carry no judgement such as good or bad. Heavy is simply a dense energy and light is a refined energy. Both aspects are vital and necessary, but they need to be well balanced within us.
A very down-to-earth example:
Now, let’s move to another example:
Here be careful, anger is not to be rated as “bad “or “wrong”, it is just a heavy, dense energy. And too much heavy energy in your system is like carrying kilos of stones in your backpack; it makes the walk to the mountain peak very difficult!! The art is to maintain yourself with enough light energy in order to move lighter towards the peak!
Another interesting aspect:
Here the art is to know your inner power that digests, transforms heavy energies into light energies if you don’t want to be sick (physically, psychologically, emotionally…).
I could elaborate a lot on the inner power, but that would be for another newsletter or a book! There is much to share about it. For now, I share a very brief view of heavy and light energies. There is definitely much more into it. I just highlight the non-moralistic and the digesting/transforming aspects of it.
Upon walking the Path of Tantra, which is a lot about transformation,
It is time to return to the wisdom of nature where heavy is heavy and light is light.
With the wish to share, to learn, to heal, to celebrate with you….

Since many years, I have observed that healing methods are important on the Path of Tantra.
You initially progress on the path, you feel finally out of destructive restrictive patterns, and boom, here it comes again! The same loop of emotions, of inner conflicts; a downfall spiral starts sucking you into inner darkness that you thought was gone forever.
How to be-friend the downward energy spiral, the inner chaos?
Therapy is a no-go for me, so I had to look for something else: Memory…. such a mysterious phenomenon!
This might be why I was pulled to look there; I have always been attracted by Mystery. At the start of my enquiry into the realm of Memory, I didn’t expect it would be such a life- changing journey. I dived into it with a deep intuitive knowing I would find the “key” to remove my obscuration. I was certain to find answers on how to keep my energy rising stable, or to heal anything that pushed me down… How little I knew of what I would find!
I will not elaborate on how and where I found the methods to enter the realm of Memory, but I can at least share some of the treasures I found. As for the methods, if you like to explore and discover them you are warmly invited to join the Inner Medicine Way retreats.
For now, few major jewels from the Memory realm I found:
I revived so many situations of pain, of misery, of hate, of fight, of basically everything in my life that pulled down the upward spiraling of my energy. Each time, the only thing I had to do was to remember the love I disconnected from in those moments! What a profound lesson! The forgetfulness of Love is what creates the most profound pain. I might have been beaten up in my past. But the physical pain is nothing compared to the forgetfulness of Love in the moment I got beaten up.
Once my most precious Master in that process told me:
In the land of Memory, I had to learn to remember Love no matter the inner or outer situation.
What are we here for?
And how to do it? The seed of an oak tree knows (remembers) to grow as an oak tree and not as a banana tree. We also have this inner memory showing us what we are meant to be(come). And for some reason we are not taping into it. The result? We try to be a banana tree instead of an oak tree. Maybe this is our way to remember… Our journey is very interesting!
The stage of reclaiming the memory of who we are and what we are here for, made me enter the great Weaving of Existence.
It is only this winter while traveling in Peru that suddenly, I felt I was ready to share it all. I was not in a hurry though. My intention was to wait until next year; to take my time to set up a good structured retreat for it. But the worldly circumstances showing up since some months have accelerated my longing to share this Inner Medicine Way with all of you.

Inner Medicine Way Retreats
What is the process about:
In our society, words such as “Healing”, “Medicine” have been spoiled, misused to the point we lost the connection with their true meaning. As a result, we became disconnected from our ability to tap into their power. Finding ourselves confronted with inner obstacles that require the use of that power, we find ourselves helplessly pulled down into destructive patterns.
The word Memory has been reduced to describe the ability of our brain to store information. Most of this information that we are being asked to remember is an unnecessary load of crap, which creates major confusion within us. Healing, Memory and Medicine were once words referring to very sacred dimensions and paths that were supporting to keep each personal evolution in harmony with life, nature, beauty, love…
The Inner Medicine Way retreats revive these ancient ways so we can remember and manifest our creative uniqueness and diversity with Clarity, Respect and Peace. They enable us to co-create a healthy world in tune with the highest qualities of love and consciousness.
These 2 retreats share the Inner Medicine methods, focusing on healing and transforming patterns that slow down or pull down the ascension of your energy into a state of Clarity. The methods are anchored in the profound understanding of the essence of Memory, such as the natural equilibrium of order and chaos, which keeps your creativity to be at service for the highest expression of life. The methods offer precious practices to support the recognition and removal of all obscuration. They restore your ability to connect your life’s purpose with the one of existence. They support you to generate healthy thoughts, emotions and actions that benefit your evolution towards becoming a mature human being.
These retreats are a mysterious, yet pragmatic way to activate the fibre of Memory in you, for you to walk your life in harmony with the whole.
Here are some of the main topics we explore during these two retreats::
– Understanding of energy’s upward and downward spiral movements
– Ancestral, historical, biological Memory map
– Recognizing inner obscuration
– Unlocking healing forces in us
– Calling out the Elements of Nature to revitalize our own forces
– Finding, activating the Inner Medicine
– Practicing Inner Medicine methods
– Growing up from adolescent to mature adult
– The main negative emotions
– Defying gravity
– Taking responsibility for healing our inner obstacles
– Remembering the Ancestral Memory
– Grounding ourselves in our Inner Direction, Life Purpose
– The power of Prayer and right saying
– Ceremony of the 4 Altars
– The Mandala of the seven directions.
– The Centre of the Centre
– The navel protection and nourishment
– Digesting energies, emotions, memories…

Surrender is the state which sets the fire of Transformation…
We just came back from our winter stay in Peru.
2 months living above 3000 meters altitude, starting with the Sacred Valley, moving on to the Lake Titikaka and finally resting in the Cordillera Negra. We have been exploring many Sacred Places as much outside than inside.
To recount the whole journey, it would need much more than a newsletter, but I found something which resumes everything: a pot!
In the Museum of Chavin de Huantar stands this pot.
It was meant to hold the mysterious Wachuma Plant Medicine which the people of the Temple of Chavin where drinking in order to ignite states of alternated consciousness where they could access to the essence of creation and the ancestral memory. When I saw the pot I fell in total awe because it depicts so beautifully the essence of Tantra: Transformation and Surrender. If you observe the pot carefully, you see the man cutting his own head, a total act of surrender. His head is looking upwards, which by the way is physically impossible, but which shows his point of view at the moment of his surrender. He is directed upwards as if when the head would fall it would move upwards and not fall down, which means the whole act is elevating him. It is not a suicide but a peaceful death-rebirth into the realm of consciousness.
His body is the vessel for the Plant Medicine which is his nectar of transformation. In Tantra, it can be encoded without making references to plant medicine. The nectar of transformation filling his body is love, awareness, devotion and his own life energy.
Do you see the bliss on his face?
It says it all!
It resumes it all!!
Bliss, peace, silence!….. This is what my journey was about in Peru and it is what my steps are on the Path of Tantra.
I could elaborate much more on the different meanings encoded in this master piece, but I like to let you meditate on it!… Just take time to watch this pot and let its wisdom reach you deeply. It really speaks of a state we are all looking for on the Path of Tantra, a state of bliss, peace, unity, completion…
I wish all of us to dare to surrender to the higher state of consciousness in order to transform everything in us into pure gold of bliss, of silence, of unconditional love, for all of us to live a life filled with compassion, creativity, kinship.
With love and gratitude,
Pema

That it will make you happy forever?
I have to admit that I was one of them!
About 25 years ago, I struggled with experiencing orgasm.
I decided to step into the path of sexual de-conditioning,
de-armouring of my genitals and body so I would be happy ever after! It was an amazing journey. And finally, I did reach the orgasms I was looking for. What a joy!!
And yet, I was still fighting with my boy-friend, I was still jealous, and I was still a bitch!
The fact that I was able to reach orgasm didn’t solve anything!
For sure, it made me feel more relaxed and happy for a while, but the demons would come back very quickly!
So what was going wrong? Was it me? Was it the orgasm?
Is orgasm insignificant or is there really something valuable in it?
I decided to dive much deeper into the phenomenon of orgasm to understand what it is truly about. This is certainly the most profound and interesting road I ever took! At first, I observed that at the moment of orgasm there is a black out, the same one we have in deep sleep. We are gone somewhere but we have no idea where we have been. The only thing we notice is that when we come back, we feel rejuvenated and we feel extremely good and clear. When I started to notice the black out, I took the challenge to stay awake at the moment of orgasm. It took a while and lots of experiments. But I did succeed, and I made some major discovery: Orgasm is not only a physical phenomenon of high pleasure but a vibration which aligns to the frequency of consciousness.
The core frequency of orgasm is consciousness. Like the core of deep meditative state is consciousness. From there everything changed in my approach to sex, to orgasm. The pleasure of orgasm became secondary, like in the background, while the space of consciousness became first priority for me to dive into.
Now, while building up orgasm, I know I build up energy to raise myself to the frequency of consciousness. When Orgasm happens, I am at the peak of consciousness and not only at a peak of pleasure.
I learn to maintain myself in that frequency long after the orgasm has left my body. I practice staying in that frequency in my daily life, in my actions, in my relationship. And now, orgasm is truly a source of transformation, a deep meditative state, a place where I get to know myself.
Sex, orgasm, lovemaking in the Tantric scene is very much commercialized because sex sells. I do not want to promote this.
I do not want to sell sex for Tantra.
Sex is fun, it is beautiful, but it is far from Tantra.
And it took me long time to get it!! Only when I finally reached the centre of orgasm, I did understand what Tantra refers to when it speaks about non-sexual lovemaking. In order to reach the frequency of consciousness, vibrating at the centre of orgasm, one needs to let go of sexuality, otherwise you stay stuck in the nice, juicy side of sex. You never enter the temple. You stay outside enjoying the beauty of the temple without encountering the divine dwelling in it. And this divine is you in a high state of consciousness.
At WildTantra, we offer a few retreats to open up your body, your sex, your perception, your watcher to orgasm. Hopefully after reading the text above, it will become more clear what we are offering. Yes, you will discover how to build up orgasm, how to make your body vibrant with energy. Yes, it will definitely make your sexual life better. It is important you have a fulfilling sexual life, so we support you there. And we take a next step – the most important one – which is to have a conscious life.
– Get in touch with your energy
In the Silent Orgasm Retreat:
– Awaken the watcher
– Circulate your energy
– Clarify your intention
– Dive at the centre of orgasm to plug into the frequency of consciousness
– Letting go of the sense of separation
– Maintain yourself into high peak of consciousness in daily life
There are steps in between and there are steps which overlap. And it is not all so logical, which keeps a spark of spontaneity in the journey!
And the best is to explore it for yourself:
Some places for women & men:
Female/Male Orgasm: 5 – 9 June
Some places for men:
Silent Orgasm: 13 – 16 June

Here you see the most clear “Chladni sound figures”.
Single frequencies are absolute pure sounds without overtones like they appear at music or voices.
I use different sizesof water bowls so it might happen that a similar figure occurs at different frequencies. It is the combination of the size of the water-bowl the amount of water and the amplitude of the frequency which make the images occur on the surface of the water…”

The Power of Joy
I was touched by many beautiful insights, which have shattered many misunderstandings and opened up to new perceptions and points of view on how I relate with existence. There is one particular event I like to share with you:
After a few hours walking in a sacred temple with members of the team, while I was immersed in a prayerful space, a wind shook my perception of my inner and outer environment. Suddenly everything fake showed itself with such clarity; the way I act, I speak, I move, I think… and the way others show themselves, how they speak, how they think… It was in some way unbearable to see, to feel the depth of lies we all project consciously or unconsciously.
To realize how we construct our life, our relations, our work from lies just to avoid changes that truth asks us to make.
To see that we prefer to stay in the lies of social, religious conditioning because we are afraid to stand alone if we live from truth.
To feel the lies we create in relationships just to be accepted and so-called loved by the other. It was painful to sense the fear we all have to be in harmony with truth.
I didn’t know how to respond to all the lies exploding like a volcano inside of me. At first, I totally cut off from the people around me because I didn’t want to feel their fakeness. Then I got angry at myself, at others and even to the wind for showing me all these lies while I was just in such peaceful state!It became really fiery inside of me. I was mixed up between crying or screaming. There was no place to run away to. Whatever I would do, the lies would stay brightly exposed. Because I was in a temple, there was no possibility to make a tantrum, the only way was to keep silent, so I did.
At some point, I arrived in a place where the wind again shook my entire being. I heard: “The only way to dismantle a lie is with Joy, not with judgment.” Was it the clouds, the birds, the sun speaking? I have no idea. I just know that the sentence blew away everything in me. I was left in a total empty state, no thought, no emotion, no movement. A waterfall of Joy came washing all the judgments in me. I could see, feel, sense my inner and outer world from a new state. The lies were still there, but I could see them through a heart radiating Joy, and this changed my whole response to them. An inner intuitive intelligence woke up which could respond to the lies with such compassion, creative and transformative insights.
Yes, we do entertain many lies. We involve a lot of vital energy into them, but now I know how to dismantle them with Joy, instead of approaching them with a fight born out of judgment. It has a tremendous impact on my relating with myself and others.
At the moment, I am preparing to start the year process of the Path of Awakening in The Netherlands. I have to giggle inside every time new insights come up from the Land of Joy which has revealed itself to me in this precious temple in Peru.
I am impatient to share with you all these new insights because I am aware of the benefit of their powerful energy of reshaping our way of living. Living in Truth starts by accepting the lies with Joy. From there a process of transformation takes place which opens a foundation for love and consciousness to shine within us…
Our next two retreats are almost fully booked, but we have few places for the ones of you who would like to open themselves to Joy and Truth.
Some places for women:
Orgasmic Body 4 – 7 April
Some places for men:
Initiation Space 11 – 14 April

“Blue represents emptiness. Through taming your mind you may attain insight to find liberation from ignorance.
Ignorance is the root of the remaining four emotions described in this set:
Anger, Attachment, Pride and Jealousy.
This is the freedom of wisdom, symbolised here by the bud of potential.”

Best Wishes 2019: Wake up!!
New year is a time where we set new intentions for the year ahead.
What if for 2019, your longing to wake-up would be your main one? A loving intention without goal or ambition but with a clear direction.
Wake-up from lies, from misguiding, from judgments, from our greed, from social and religious conditioning that narrow our perception of reality and of ourselves, from self-deception…
Wake-up to our potential of consciousness, of love, of beauty, of creativity, of sharing, of, caring. Wake up to our responsibility of manifesting a world of harmony, of beauty, of equanimity…
What about we all support each other to wake up instead of detaining each other into blind political concepts, outdated religions, destructive ways of relating, disrespect of the environment, over consumption etc.
Since 2011, WildTantra is making great creative effort to support the awakening of mankind, offering The Path of Awakening.This program offers eight retreats where we share methods and situations for all of us to wake up and to grow out of our sleepy lazy state. Every year, the program gets reviewed, transformed, refined in order to offer the most adequate ways of awakening.
In 2019, the program gets enriched with a new retreat: Third Eye retreat, We investigate mysterious and yet pragmatic methods to activate the pineal gland for us to finally see instead of just look!
This Path does not guarantee awakening, but we do guarantee a space where you cannot escape anymore from waking up!
If you feel like to dance the Path of Awakening with us, there are still a few places left for the ones who are tired to sleep and who want to celebrate life to its highest peak of love and of consciousness.
For the year to come,
I wish you a clear joyful intention to awaken!
With love and gratitude,
Pema
