Transforming Sex into Love through Awareness

A seven day Residential Retreat for Couples

As created by Diana Richardson and Michael Richardson

In these seven day Tantra Workshops for Couples you will be given a completely new insight into sex, and its function within a relationship. Most of the unhappiness experienced in love has its source in dissatisfaction with sex. When the real truth about sex is clarified, sex becomes a potentially healing force and not a potentially disruptive one.

The key lies in a new perception of the genitals, how they interact and how male and female energy is exchanged. It requires a rediscovery of our ecstatic bodily sensations which exist in any moment we are truly present. Through discussion, sharing and daily step-by-step lectures a unique tantric sexual orientation is presented.

Each day the specific meditation times are devoted to exploring the suggested ‘love keys’ in privacy. This essential aspect enables a couple to discover this new language through direct experience. This is not a special technique or a ritual. Simply by introducing awareness, relaxing into being and feeling, a style of sexual rapport emerges which creates love and harmony between man and woman.

There is an immediate shift away from the personality, emotions and problems of the past, and through sex deep healing and joy becomes possible. The retreat is a profound experience, described by participants as a ‘coming home’, a ‘spiritual honeymoon’, a reawakening of love. Couples feel the impact whether they are together for three years  or thirty years.

Using guidance and inspiration from Diana and Michael Richardson, and with many years of personal exploration, Jayne and Tim teach couples how to enter into the experience of Tantra, and open the doorway to transforming sex into an empowering loving unifying force.

My own life experiences have opened me to more and more of what I believe to be most important in life – love. Not love of the romanticised kind, love that is within each and every one of us, in every cell of our being, that we lose contact with gradually as we get lost in the ‘busyness’ of life and of our endless thinking.

The Making Love work has profoundly deepened my experience of love within myself, with my partner, Tim, and in the rest of my life. When I discovered it, it really felt like a ‘hidden secret’, which in reality, is available to everyone.

I have wide ranging experience working with groups in different contexts, business and personal development including co-creation of an ongoing women’s group. I have trained in counselling, massage and yoga and regularly dance 5Rhythms as a way to keep returning to the present moment and the aliveness within.

I have been leading workshops for over 25 years for people who are interested in their personal growth and development as a way to transform their daily lives into one that is more loving, satisfying, harmonious and joyous. My work offers a creative and safe space within which to explore the essential themes of our lives, gradually healing our wounds and freeing ourselves from ways we limit ourselves, so we can live our lives with increasing freedom and creativity, rooted in love and truth.

I have undergone a number of trainings in individual counselling, and therapeutic groupwork that has included integrating the personal with the spiritual. I’m deeply grateful for all I experience and learn through many years of personal work, supervision, and friendship with Jill Hall.

I studied and trained with Gabrielle Roth for over 20 years and have been teaching the 5Rhythms™ for the last 15 years or so. I have been profoundly influenced by the teachings of Osho and Barry Long.
