Shunya Gates is a center for whole-being wellness and ancient esoteric wisdom.

Tantric counseling sessions, workshops and satsangs are offered as an invitation to deeper self-knowing, connection and access.

Someone asked yesterday, “what makes this a ta***ic ceremony?”

So, simply put… the practices and facilitations offered are centered around the doorways of access opening from within you. Connection to life, to spirit, to the seasons, to all of it… comes through unveiled connection with self.

It’s an experiential thing, not based on a specific ‘system’ or ‘doing’, and not the easiest to put into words. Laura Rose and I find our way through the world as Tantrikas. We facilitate with this essence moving through us, and bring related wisdoms, and practices through.

Ta**ra is an ancient esoteric wisdom lineage with deep roots and far reaching branches to help one live life with greater access and brilliance.

Remember, all we can do is set a piece in motion from our clearest place. From there, it is released from your hands. The outcome isn’t yours alone to shape. It’s the wild alchemy of life at play. Remain centered in your own knowing of your nature.

Black lives more than matter. They are precious and sacred. All heinous acts against a person or people are a break in the relationship with life itself.

I’m in pure reverence of the quality of protest, of voice, of unity that has risen up since the loss, horror and illumination of George Floyd’s death. Thank you, thank you. Thank you for those who swiftly found their leadership.

I know many who have been primary listening, witnessing and feeling. Having meaningful conversations in their homes, and educating themselves more. I want to acknowledge this is also a loving, meaningful space to be in. The listener. The space holder.

The realities of atrocious injustice are still with us, and they require our commitment, our heart, our refusal to tolerate what has occurred, and what will continue to occur, until we root it out of every system it has poisoned. All of our contributions are needed, and it’s okay that they come in a form that is unique to each of our voices and pace. We have BIG Work to do, let’s not turn against one another while we do it.

Outrage is beyond valid, and a powerful fuel when channeled constructively.

Let’s move towards understanding, not judgement. We’ll get there faster and more intact that way.

May we do the deep layers of repair needed to honor all people, and restore the relationship with life itself.

And sometimes this alters the course of another’s heart, mind and natural movement.

For me, that is so unnecessary. For me, it can mean unnecessary self-betrayal.

Life, by its nature, presents circumstances that cause discomfort, and can threaten ones sense of emotional safety. Its in these places of discomfort that huge growth and expansion can occur.

To actively love someone doesn’t mean we buffer them from the uncomfortable. It’s okay to lovingly stay your course (even when its being labeled as wrong), and in turn allow the other to go through the process of stretching their edges. This is where growth occurs.

Its loving to remain present and navigate the discomfort with someone. Yet it doesn’t require you to abandon that which is natural and whole to you.

Yesterday afternoon we begun the Ta***ic Foundations course.

We talked about Ta**ra as a life path, as a set of keys for accessing all that you are, and for being in relationship with existence itself, ... as a path of remembering.

For me to say it’s a wisdom lineage doesn’t really touch it. It’s a homecoming.

And then we began with the first, yet advanced, foundational piece: Allowance

We spoke about how we can begin to approach allowance by being willing to feel, and being willing to be with our internal experience whether we like it or not.

Acceptance of what is outside of us can feel like a lofty spiritual ideal. The starting point is to accept what is within us. Our feelings, thoughts, even stories. Just allow them to be there. Rather than make a move to change, resist, or make wrong whatever ‘caused’ the feeling; simply be with the feeling.

Be curious about your body’s response; that’s what a feeling is.

There’s much more to this, a lot more to open up. Yet this is the beginning.

The way to an embodied experience of allowance is to be willing to be in relationship with what’s happening in your own body.

What do you actually do in sessions?

I help people hear themselves, and make movements from a different place.

~~~

It hard to share about my work simply. When someone asks, ‘what is ta***ic counseling’; ‘what do you actually do’; or ‘what does a session look like’, it’s challenging to put it succinctly.

My work is layered, nuanced, complex ~ yet also simple.

It can look like us sitting on the floor talking, doing a movement medication, working with sound, or offering integrative energy work...

Yet ultimately ~ I help people hear themselves.

I help people make contact with themselves.

I help people understand the layers of their stories, so they can dismantle them.

I help people make contact with their deeper feelings and knowings so they can unwind what is knotted up inside, allow for a release, and have a fresh experience.

It is through the dismantling and unwinding that we can feel our natural, current, uninhibited state. We become unleashed, and we get to know ourselves in a completely new way.

And the choices and movements made become much less about fear, hurt and past happenings ~

The movements come from a more pristine place of self-knowing, and a surrendering to the actual shape of who you are. 🙏🏼

Stay tuned for a sharing of how this relates to session work with couples/relationships ~ a growing part of my practice which I really love!

I’m delighted to be launching my first foundation series course, in collaboration with

My clients commonly ask me to offer an intro course to Ta**ra. That’s been a bit of a dichotomy to me ~ an intro to something as vast as true communion with yourself, and the magical nature of life...

And then it came to me ~ it’s not an intro. It’s a foundational offering that can go as wide and deep as the group is ready and willing to go.

This course will open the gates to not understand ta***ic wisdom; but to begin to touch it. Experience it.

This 4 Part course will offer you the foundational keys to living your life with freedom, trusting your knowing and coming into contact with all that you are.

That’s gooooood stuff!

Ta***ic Foundations: Keys to Awaken to the Experiential Path

Begins November 16th

“Become a river and then nothing is needed. That’s what The Secret of the Golden Flower says: Achieve inaction through action, achieve effortlessness through effort. But first comes the effort, the action—it will melt you—and then the river starts flowing. In that very flow it has reached the ocean.”

~Osho

I feel this in my experience.

It’s a dance between movement and stillness. Effort and effortlessness.

It’s the movements that come from a feeling, a stirring, deep within that inspire this.

Sometimes a movement’s only purpose is to shift things just enough to allow the river of you to flow.

There’s a wisdom to these movements, a wisdom beyond my own knowing.
