Diversity Practices for Deepening Intimacy

Author: makinglovewithgod April 16, 2018

I really feel that you managed to create and hold an environment that was queer-friendly. A lot of events that I have been to have claimed to be inclusive but at best have been "not-exclusive" as it were. Happily, you avoided such an atmosphere. In the space, I truly felt welcome and invited to be myself in full, with no conditions put on acceptance. - J, Colchester, Workshop Participant

With regards to my disability, I don't think anything more could have been done to make me feel more included and cared for. Rowan's tendency towards doing rather than saying and the general atmosphere her and her team created made me feel as cozy and comfy as could be. I did not feel anywhere near as isolated as I tend to feel during social events; it was truly inspiring and assuring that I am on the right journey. - J, Essex, Workshop Participant

Rowan has an extraordinary ability to create a space that invites each participant to bring all of themselves - and welcomes that. The weekend offered an invitation to journey to the self, to connect first with self and then with others. The highlight for me was the feeling of being held. Wow! Just so gorgeous! - D, London, Workshop Participant

It's rare in my life to have done such deep, transformative work for an entire weekend. I know I've really gone to my darkest places and found a safe and loving way to bring them to the surface. I felt 100% supported throughout and that I could ask for whatever I needed. I'm left with a deep sense of calm, gratitude, and self-appreciation for doing this difficult work. Thank you for creating a journey that opened my eyes to the possibility in my life! - B, London, Workshop Participant

Thank you for teaching me about surrender; it's good to know that sometimes we can surrender rather than continue to strive. I experienced a beautiful transformation that opened my eyes to the real possibility in my life. - B, London, Workshop Participant

"The workshop was very powerful, cathartic and moving. The highlight was the realisation that I had disconnected myself from the power, and that I could find this power within, using certain techniques. It was amazing and fantastic, how Rowan spoke to us. Everything made sense and was very enlightening. I could feel what she had gone through and how what she was about to teach us had helped her to get into the place she was in" - A, Oxford, Workshop Participant

An enlightening, nurturing, and well-supported weekend. I was able to dive into previously neglected parts of myself, and learned valuable techniques to give them the love and attention they deserve. The doors have opened.

And getting to practice firebreath every day was divine! - M, Initiation Participant

"This was my first real foray into tantra, and I didn't really know what to expect. Rowan had made the space so welcoming, and so comfortable that I almost forgot my nerves straight away. I felt totally comfortable with being aware of my boundaries and preconceptions and I was able to be truthful to them for the whole weekend, without feeling that I wasn't fully participating. There was nothing that we had to do, only things we were all invited to do." - L, Oxford, Workshop Participant

Make Love with Self was a very empowering experience for me, the experience of taking the first steps towards reclaiming my sexuality from patriarchy... Since coming home, I have been writing a song inspired by all the self knowledge and joy the weekend brought me. - J, Initiation participant

"I felt completely at ease within the space, as if I had found a nest of comfort, acceptance and exploration, where I learned about myself, the universe, tantric principles, practices and feelings - and where I was free to explore the merging and combining of sex, love, magic, spirituality and divinity. It was an incredible experience, both intense and soul stretching, as well as being giggly and cuddly!" - L, Oxford, Workshop Participant

As my first of "this sort of thing" it has been a very valuable, welcoming experience. Release, forgiveness, sharing, opportunity, caring, holding... It all played out wonderfully. It was precisely what I needed. I feel better than I have in several years. - G, Oxford, Workshop Participant

I rediscovered my sexual self after 10 years of saying farewell to it. I have re-owned my creative, sexual power, and I feel incredible. I felt so completely held and honoured as I went through my process. I have experienced a profoundly deep, loving and honouring time. I'm so grateful. - C, Middlesex, Workshop Participant
