Art of Love & Intimacy
Dates intimacy with all Of life 12th – 15th August
Venue-Goa
What is Intimacy for you ? DO you feel S*x and Intimacy are the same.
Would you have intimate relationships with people without being sexually involved?
This retreat can help you to bring true intimacy in relationships, with yourself and all of life.
Intimacy is more than what meets the eye. It brings out feelings of passion, emotions and helps to build trusting relationships.
Intimacy, ‘a feeling that relates to – with me, about me, close to me.’ A feeling that connects our deepest emotions or the lack of it with the people around us.
The greatest moments in intimacy happen between two people when the sense of time and space disappears.
Intimacy is not the same as connecting with someone sexually. S*x may or may not be needed to be intimate with someone.
Simple moments like sharing a smile, a hug, cuddle or even eye contact can be intimate.
When we let those boundaries melt away and completely allow the other person to see in their shadows and light, it becomes an authentic form of intimacy.
How does one begin this journey into understanding intimacy ?
To understand the meaning of true intimacy we first need to be intimate with ourselves. We have to build a bridge to this connection between the Body and Earth. This is our home. Intimacy is loving yourself, being the best lover to yourself. Nurturing a feeling of coming home to yourself, being safe and loved.

About the facilitator
Mohini Srishati
Mohini Srishati is a versatile woman and surfing in real life through different roles of being a Mother, Tantrica, Business woman, Evolution expert and a Traveller. She transcends norms and stereotypes and is a gentle reminder and inspiration to those of us who wish to do the same.
She likes to ignite people’s hearts and souls. Inspire them to make change and live life consciously and in celebration. As an initiative in this direction she decided to organise and teach in different Tantra retreats and festivals. She completed a 2 years certified intensive Tantra teacher training course with Tantra essence plus many years of enriching spiritual experiences in her life. She has spent time with many tantra teachers and is inspired by Osho, Goenka and Ma Anand Sarita.
She is the curator and teacher for Wonder Woman Festival. Name of the festival is inspired by her own life and her blossoming into different roles and essence of Feminine. Being a Tantrica she likes to spread the message of living a sensually empowered and embodied life. She is organising both online and offline courses through ‘Evolve Beings’.
This festival will be inspired from the Shamanic, Tantra and meditation practices to break through our patterns of life and realise our true soul calling.
In today’s sensual and materialistic era Tantra is the only evolved spiritual discipline that uses our senses and desires to achieve the goal of liberation. So we need to drop and heal that shame and guilt to start celebrating and enjoying our bodies to derive joy and wellbeing.
After many years of following the spiritual path whilst simultaneously being involved in the business world, creating and successfully running a company, Srishati started envisioning practically bringing the two worlds together. The purpose all along was to bridge the seemingly big gap between the corporate and spiritual world and be a positive force in creating more unity and less separation. She aimed to make spiritual teachings more accessible and easier digestible for people looking to evolve or expand in life.
Kaulike Anandi
Kaulike Anandi was born into a family, which is connected with the tantric lineage of Ramakrishna Paramhansa. She spent most of her early years with her grandmother who she considers as her foremost teacher in love, tantra, spirituality, pretty much everything that matters in life. And then came music. She found herself embracing love in the truest sense through her ‘sadhana’ (practice) of music. Her parents at that time were senior gurus in the country in the arts of theater. She grew up in an environment of a theatre commune so the feeling of living in a community was ingrained within her early on. Kaulike had never planned to get into acting given how she was deemed as the shy one. But it happened. If she would have something to share, she would love going up the stage. Otherwise most of her time went in music, books and meditation. She believes that whatever you wish for is actually the cosmos wishing for and whatever you don’t want is not really meant for you. But if you want something, surely there is something there. So it’s important to follow your heart. Her spiritual journey is all about simplifying life and becoming the embodiment of love.
She believes everything is love. Every bit of this existence, this universe, this Cosmos, this life and this world, every bit of it is made up of love. Love is the universal energy that has created us, that is flowing through us, it is what is holding and binding everything together. Our bodies, our like containers, each vessel is made up of a very unique insight but all have only one role to experience love and it’s magic, to blossom more, to enjoy more, to live in communion with the divine. Kaulike strongly believes that women are born with Shakti ingrained in them right from their birth. They just have to recognize their immense power and then see the magic around them unfold every day of their lives.
Kaulike found herself dipping deeply into the world of Baul Mysticism.
The word baul means a madman. But it is a misnomer; it means someone who is free, someone who is enlightened. Kaulike believes that when one comes to the baul path, they are in total space of surrender, because they become innocent like a child. You do not judge anything or anyone. Because you completely trust in the existence as a Divine Mother as a Divine Shakti.
Baul Mysticism is deeply connected to the roots of Tantra as well. Because it is all about opening up your body through celebrations in music and dance. In Baul Mysticism we focus on singing and opening up the fifth chakra, the most mystical one. And when you open up that chakra you become a free flowing and a joyous person in touch with their true essence.
Both Baul Mysticism and Path of Tantra help us to establish the connection between the small self, and the divine self. It helps us to understand that we are not separate from the whole universe.
