In the tapestry of Tantra, rituals are woven as threads of profound connection between the individual and the divine cosmic energy. These ceremonies are not mere performances; they are sacred dances, intricate and intentional, seeking to harmonize the inner and outer realms, the mundane and the divine.


1. Awakening the Senses: Tantric rituals are sensorial symphonies, designed to awaken the dormant senses and invite a heightened awareness of the present moment. Through the scent of incense, the touch of sacred objects, the taste of ritual offerings, the sight of vibrant colors, and the sound of sacred chants, participants are drawn into a sensory immersion that transcends the ordinary.

2. Union of Shiva and Shakti: At the heart of Tantric rituals lies the acknowledgment of the divine duality—Shiva, the cosmic masculine, and Shakti, the cosmic feminine. Tantric practitioners engage in rituals to merge these energies within themselves, recognizing that true enlightenment arises from the harmonious union of opposing forces. Rituals become a symbolic dance of cosmic energies within the microcosm of the individual.

3. Yantras and Mantras: Sacred geometric patterns, known as yantras, and vibrational sounds, expressed through mantras, are integral components of Tantric rituals. Yantras are visual representations of cosmic energy, while mantras are sonic keys that unlock spiritual realms. Together, they create a vibrational resonance that aligns the practitioner with higher states of consciousness.

4. Conscious Breath: Breath is the bridge between the physical and the spiritual in Tantric rituals. Conscious breathing techniques, such as Pranayama, are employed to attune the individual's life force (prana) with the universal energy. The rhythmic dance of breath becomes a transformative ritual, a journey inward to the core of existence.

5. Union with the Divine: Tantric rituals are not rituals of separation but of union. Participants seek communion with the divine, whether conceptualized as a personal deity or as the universal cosmic energy. The rituals facilitate a merging of the individual soul (Atman) with the divine essence (Brahman), transcending the limitations of the ego.

6. Alchemy of the Inner Self: In Tantric rituals, the mundane is alchemized into the sacred. Daily activities, emotions, and experiences become offerings in the sacred fire of transformation. Through ritualistic practices, individuals transmute the base elements of their existence into the gold of spiritual realization.

7. Celebration of Life: Unlike ascetic traditions that view the material world as a hindrance to spiritual progress, Tantric rituals celebrate life in all its manifestations. From the ecstasy of lovemaking to the simplicity of sharing a meal, every experience becomes a ritual when approached with mindfulness and reverence.

8. Intention and Visualization: Tantric rituals are potent tools for manifestation. Through clear intentions and focused visualization, practitioners channel their energy towards specific goals, whether spiritual, emotional, or material. The mind, in concert with ritualistic practices, becomes a powerful instrument of creation.

In the sacred landscape of Tantra, rituals are not rigid routines but dynamic expressions of the ever-evolving dance between the individual soul and the universal spirit. Each ritual is an opportunity for transcendence, a doorway to the infinite possibilities that lie within the tapestry of existence.

A Tantric women's circle is a sacred space where women come together to explore and honor the divine feminine, connect with one another, and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Rooted in the ancient traditions of Tantra, these circles provide a supportive and nurturing environment for women to explore their sensuality, spirituality, and the interconnectedness of all aspects of their being.




  1. Sacred Sisterhood: The circle is built on the foundation of sacred sisterhood, fostering a sense of unity among participants. Women come together to share experiences, insights, and wisdom in a non-judgmental and supportive space.

  2. Tantric Teachings: Facilitators often share teachings from Tantra, including practices related to energy work, chakras, meditation, and conscious sensuality. These teachings guide women on a journey to understand and harness their feminine energy.

  3. Embodiment Practices: Tantric women's circles often include embodiment practices to help participants connect with their bodies. This may involve gentle yoga, dance, or rituals that encourage a deeper connection to the physical self.

  4. Breathwork and Meditation: Conscious breathwork and meditation play a crucial role in Tantric practices. Women engage in breathwork to awaken life force energy (prana) and meditation to deepen their awareness, fostering a sense of inner peace and presence.

  5. Chanting and Mantras: Sound is considered a powerful tool in Tantra. Chanting sacred mantras or engaging in vocal expressions can create a vibrational resonance within the circle, invoking a sense of unity and divine connection.

  6. Honoring the Divine Feminine: Tantric women's circles often include rituals or ceremonies that honor the archetypal energies of the divine feminine, such as the goddesses in various traditions. This may involve invoking qualities like love, compassion, strength, and sensuality.

  7. Sharing Circles: A significant part of the gathering involves sharing circles where women have the opportunity to express their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This sharing is done in an atmosphere of trust, allowing each woman to be heard and seen authentically.

  8. Exploration of Sensuality: Tantric practices recognize the sacred nature of sensuality and the body. Women explore their sensual selves in a conscious and mindful way, embracing their unique expressions of femininity.

  9. Empowerment and Healing: The circle serves as a space for empowerment and healing. Through shared experiences and supportive energy, women can address and release emotional wounds, finding strength and resilience in their shared journey.

  10. Integration and Celebration: A Tantric women's circle often concludes with an integration phase where participants bring insights from the practices into their daily lives. There may also be celebratory elements, marking the sacredness of the shared experience.

In the southern hemisphere we had the longest day yesterday 21 december. And I had to dive deep into the traditions of the people who belong here, the aboriginals.

The Aboriginal people of Australia, with their rich cultural, have a deep connection to the land and celestial events. While specific practices and traditions varied among different Aboriginal groups, many did observe and celebrate significant astronomical occurrences, including the longest day of the year, which marks the summer solstice.


Various Aboriginal groups across Australia engaged in ceremonies and rituals during the summer solstice to honor the sun and express gratitude for its life-giving energy. These ceremonies were often deeply spiritual, connecting the community with the cosmic forces that influenced their lives.


The celebration of the longest day was not only a celestial observance but also an opportunity to deepen the connection to the land. Aboriginal cultures were intimately tied to the rhythms of nature, and the changing seasons played a crucial role in their hunting, gathering, and ceremonial practices. The summer solstice marked a pivotal moment in the cyclical dance of the seasons.


Aboriginal celebrations of the longest day were grounded in a profound respect for the interconnectedness of all living beings. These ceremonies were not only an acknowledgment of astronomical phenomena but a holistic expression of being in harmony with the Earth. The rhythms of nature guided their lives, fostering a sustainable and balanced existence.







Wurdi Youang

Wurdi Youang is an Aboriginal stone arrangement believed to be thousands of years old. It consists of a series of stones set in an egg-shaped circle. The purpose and age of Wurdi Youang are subjects of ongoing research and debate. Some researchers suggest that the arrangement may have astronomical significance, potentially aligning with the solstices.


"The stone arrangement takes the form of an irregular egg-shape or ovoid about 50 m (164 ft) in diameter with its major axis aligning east-west.[3] It is composed of about 100 basalt stones, ranging from small rocks about 200 mm (8 in) in diameter to standing stones about 1 m (3 ft) high with an estimated total mass of about 23 t (23 long tons).[4] There are three prominent waist-high stones, at its western end, which is the highest point of the ring. The purpose, use, and age of the arrangement are not known.[5] The purpose of the site may be ceremonial in nature as with many other stone arrangements in southeastern Australia.[6]


A series of stones, located to the west of the arrangement's western apex, mark the positions of the setting sun at the equinoxes and solstices.[10] A survey study shows that these alignments are accurate to within a few degrees. Additionally, the straight sides of the arrangement, which diverge from its eastern apex, also indicate the setting position of the sun at the solstices to within a few degrees and at the equinoxes the sun sets over the three prominent stones at the apex.[3]

It has been suggested by scientists studying the arrangements that it could be as old as 11,000 years (based on carbon dating at nearby sites),[11] which could make it the oldest astronomical observatory in the world.[12] However, the age of the arrangement is not known."
