Sacred Romance
“Love is all there is...” – The Beatles
The “Yoga of Relationship” is potentially the most rewarding of all the paths of practice in traditional Tantra, and one of the most accessible and necessary paths since most practitioners will find themselves in a relationship for the majority of their lives. Intimate love relationships create an unparalleled environment in which to see your limitations and transform them.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
During this training you will delve into key aspects of spiritual relating – communications, partner compatibility, discovering sexual appetites (and overcoming judgments and inhibitions about natural appetites), creating truly unshakeable intimacy, the proper role of devotion and boundary-making, the attribute of true love vs. titillation and romance based on physicality and lust alone, how to host each other’s differences while cultivating a mutual practice path, supportive partner practices, crafting a functional relationship contract, handling disagreements, sexual “yogas”, and more.
This training gives you a solid foundation for later entry to the Tantrik Consort and Mirror Consort Retreats, and can be repeated as often as you like. The content is 75% the same at each retreat with the other 25% being generated by the individuals making up the retreat group. Therefore, each retreat covers the most important aspects of Sacred Romance while also providing the time and space for working with your individual and partnership issues.

Dharma Bodhi (Kol Martens)
Dharma Bodhi began practicing yoga at seven years of age. In his teens he moved into practices of Chan Buddhism and Daoism received through his Chinese martial arts teachers in New York. After completing his chiropractic degree he studied in an Oral-Practice Tradition of Non-Dual Śaiva Tantra, taking initiation into one of the Daśnami Orders of practice from India. In 1996 he complete ācārya training under his Śaiva gurus. This training emphasized traditional Kundalinī Hatha Yoga and a progressive system of Meditation, along supportive studies in ritual/pūjā and yoga texts. Since graduating as a Śaiva ācārya, he took refuge with a great master of Bönpo Dzogchen meditation, and studied with him by taking multiple trips per year to his monastery in India for a period of 8 years. He studies both Dzogchen meditation & yoga (trul khor), and Dzogchen preliminary and advanced texts. Both his Śaiva and Dzogchen masters gave him the task of teaching these systems stripped of the unnecessary aspects of the cultures and languages they are found in. His Dzogchen master also gave him the task of translating two Tibetan texts. One of which is finished and the other is in process. He now lives with his wife, Sahaja Dakinī, and their two children in rural Maine, USA. He is developing a practice hermitage in the wilderness of Maine and a European teaching center on the border of Italy and Switzerland.
