Hear what past tantra playshop participants have to say:
Cindy, "Thank you Kamala & Michael for your hospitality. It was a pleasure to meet such open-hearted people. Look forward to the next event."
Linda, Kamala is a gifted person who shares her knowledge so openly and makes everyone feel comfortable. Her guided meditations and exercises opened up parts I thought I had forgotten. Now I can work on those issues in earnest
Linda, "Kamala has a depth of wisdom and holds the energy for people to heal and move beyond their blocks. I experienced a major shift with a very difficult area of my life. The people in the group were all loving and accepting and it was a safe place to open up and speak mytruth. Kamala and her husband are a very enlightened couple. I would highly recommend this group for those exploring spirituality and sexuality."
Joni, "It is so incredible for me to be a part of this community! It is always delightful to be in the energy of the creative flow of the Goddess Kamala, I really appreciated how Kamala feeds back what the womensay, what you heard. Spiritually and energically, it felt good."
David, "Was a wonderful first time experience. We both felt very comfortable and eager to try the exercises.This group was full of wonderful people. The spiritual calmness made all the difference in the world. "
Laura, Kamala is a great communicator as well as thoughful, insightful, and she does it all with such grace and presence.
Dr. Sayaka, Kamala is such a fantastic moderator. We had a great time!
Eric, Amazing stuff. Felt like I was witnessing the early stages of a societal transformation of tectonic magnitude.
Brilliant. You have a very nice and smooth transition of energy from one to the other. It is obvious that you honor each other. I loved the way you started, by just starting...The exercises raised questions and wonders that were then acted out and solidified with the shamanic journeying. I have a much clearer picture of my sexual issues and am able to integrate that into a higher walk with myself. Thank you.
--Bud Paulman
Kamala is an excellent speaker. Her talk was entertaining and immensely valuable. She brings a genuine passion, personal charisma, and eloquence to the table. I appreciated getting valuable information effectively and efficiently conveyed. The warmth of her desire to support others as well as her great skill in doing so shined through her presentation.
Kate, Shaman Healer and Author
It's great to be in a group of loving, conscious people to talk about and explore the often too murky and taboo subject of sex and how to achieve greater harmony in relationship and with ourselves. Thank you, Kamala and Michael for bravely and gently leading us a little more towards relationship enlightenment!
--Tracy Lontos
i appreciate how you both offer YOURSELVES...stunningly unique ...and raw and honest and you both really offer alot to the table. you practice what you share. you demonstrate what you teach..thank you. kamala, you are a natural leader, with a soft loving safe energy. michael, you are grounded, open, understanding, and you led the meditation beautifully...i really appreciated how you both went to the core...the wounds. it was refreshing to have that out in the open and examined with LOVE and safety.
--Jenny Ward
"Michael and Kamala have become masters on the path of enlightenment in a variety of related disciplines within the sphere of spiritual and physical connection with self and with one's beloved. I keep coming away from their workshops desiring more and more from their obviously deep wealth of experience and positive energy!"
--Art Lashbrook
I was able to let the stress of everyday life wash away and be very present to the moment and to my partner. ..A reminder of how our bodies, mind and soul are so interlinked.
--Lourdes Paulman
Your instruction is organized, straightforward, interesting, and thought-provoking. You both work really well together and complement each other nicely. I love how you flowed with what people were interested in talking about and were very supportive of the participants. I also loved how interactive the playshop was - it invited participation.
--Jean Frazier
I so much enjoyed your Tantra earlier this month. This was the first Tantra I've attended that YOU facilitated. I've been to a couple of Francoise's and to Robert's last one, but I found yours to be done very differently. I enjoyed yours particularly. I liked how we chose our own partner each time, not just the next one in the circle. I also liked how you didn¹t seem to get increasingly sexual as the evening went on, and that we could very much choose how intimate we wanted to be depending on how we felt w/ our partner. It seemed to me that yours was more spiritually based than focused just on the sexuality. Thank you so much.
--S.S.
Ed is not a Yoga guy at all ...However, he did have a good time and we have been playing with the things we learned yesterday. I want to especially thank you for the gift of the playshop. You are both great teachers and together you have a wonderful presentation.
--Susan Haymaker
I had a very positive and rewarding experience, gained "tools" to actively combat my health issues, and opened my heart more deeply to my partner! I felt relaxed, connected, peaceful and safe, precious gifts since I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I regained the positive energy which has been so illusive to me recently. I'm also EXCITED and optimistic that my experience with you (both) will contribute greatly to my healing!
--Felicia Wimmer
I really enjoyed myself..It was nice to connect with people I haven't seen in a while and nice to be with you and Michael in your element. I did a lot of good journaling and I am going to finish my collage! I could have stayed longer and finished....It was really fun! I really like what you create and how you put it all together!
--M.R.
Yes, again, I felt the class was wonderful! You were well organized and yet were informal enough to "go with the flow" of the class..it's needs and desires. You created a structured, yet open, nurturing environment. I felt the instruction came from a gentle loving place, and nurtured that energy between the partners and the group as a whole. I also really appreciated feeling as though I was being guided by very knowledgeable and experienced people, but even so, we were all learning and exploring the experience together! :-)
--Student
"Kamala is not simply a yoga instructor. She is a mentor and a motivator with an incredible practical and intuitive knowledge of the human body and spirit. Kamala customizes her teachings to her students to utilize yoga to improve strength, flexibility or as a way to relax and distress from life's pressures. Kamala connects with each student and treats each one of them as a prodigy. She teaches her students that yoga is not a series of poses or exercises. Rather, it is a pathway to allow your body and mind to express its full potential in unison and rhythm. I travel across the country for her instructions."
--Professor John
I enjoyed the workshop very much, you were an excellent facilitator and I would recommend this playshop series to my friends. I found it to be quite helpful in organizing and compartmentalizing my thoughts and goals towards personal growth....during the past few months I have continued to search resources for growth and even though this is a life journey, I am delighted that I reached out and were able to meet you. You are someone that shines clarity in her eyes.
--David Robinson
As I keep telling you. you are an unusual teacher with charisma, warmth, intellect and an unbelievable sense of your students to push them to do things and moves they would never consider. Also I enjoy listening to your philosophical explanations. You are the first teacher that has ever motivated me to do the breathing.
Dr. John
Kamala Devi is a master at creating and holding the space. Each on of us deepened our listening skills and our own self knowledge through this process. At times it was turmoltuous and emotional but always clearly safe.
--Tracy Ellen Godek
Tantra for Women Playshop May '05
I completely surrendered to my divine goddess within, and the perfect divine union of all the amazing women in our circle. I felt as if we all melted together into One! My heart overflows with gratitude knowing you are out there in the universe raising the level of consciousness in the world. From my heart to yours-- Jennifer Baily
This was an amazing journey into connecting with my sisters in such joy, laugher, love, nurturance, and compassion. I experienced such balanced grounding in my body, mind, and spirit. I felt the true essence of tantra. I've need to come together in goddess groups more frequently. --Goddess Karenina
I really benefited from the sharing & giving/receiving with other women. All women should be open to it, regardless of their sexuality or orientation or lifestyle. Just the beauty and joy of connecting with other women on a deeper level makes me feel Sooooooo wonderful!! --Rena
Amazing, Healing, Intimate and Safe. Thank you for this sacred space.--Laura Lee
It was such a warm caring safe environment. It recharged my spiritual batteries and my connection to other women. I'd love to be involved in future trantras for women. Thank you, Kamala, you heavenly Goddess, you! --Deb Davies
What an amazing experience of connectedness! I have never felt so close to virtual strangers so quickly. I feel more at one with the universe and hope to carry this feeling with me into the world. Thank you so much.--Participant.
As a fully empowered woman--my tears were transformed to deep laugher and peace! A wonderful safe environment to fully open to all that I am. --Tina Stark
My experience was one of renewed energy and love. Thank you for holding this space of goddess healing energy.--Tammee Larew
I appreciated and enjoyed a safe environment to open my heart and eyes to the joyful experiences of divine feminine in every woman. --Participant.
Joining in this gathering of powerful women allowed an opening of trust, healing, a loss of fear and judgment and an awakening into self love and into greater connection to the universal web of life--Participant.
Kamala Thank you for your clarity and willingness in putting this playshop together. I truly enjoyed sharing with all these goddesses, it was very empowering--Kirin Khalsa
I believe you are a master facilitator, communicating ideas and steps very well, and of course beautiful, inspirational to watch. The activities were very helpful and bonding. --Michelle Dubbs
I loved the way the Puja flowed and I dug the music. I was able to stay present with my beloved and we are closer now. I'll return and I will recommend it to my friends.
Paul Vild
The puja last night was very enjoyable thanks to Kamala, the music, the sound system and the other attendees. There was a nice balance to the verbal and non-verbal exercies. I liked doing them together - an intimate conversation while in yab yum seemed to increase the connection. I really liked that there were enough exercises to go around the circle and experience everyone. Tthe music was great and the sound system was totally awesome. Namaste.
A.S.
Excellent job, Kamala. excellent choice of music, beautiful space resulting from the process. The opportunity to be with so many seekers at one time was powerful.
Lorraine Duehren
liked Kamala's spiritual presentation of the Tantric puja. In other pujas, it has seemed that the first layers of sexuality and sensuality were expressed strongly, but the innermost rings of Tantric depth were not explored. Kamala brings the sacred forward into the experience. I also liked the questions she posed for our interaction. Very good questions that made me and Cheri think more deeply and share more truth. Truth is our mantra, and this part of the exercise helped us deepen that truth.
Spending two and a half hours blissfully gazing into the soul of my Goddess wife, touching and breathing and focusing on her, I was able to experience all the Goddesses that live within Cheri. Each time the puja circle moved, I discovered another Cheri standing there in front of me.
Stan Sewitch
This was my first puja and I was not sure what it would be like. I experienced a sensuous and safe exchange of energy through the skilled guidance of the teacher. I never felt that things were getting beyond Kamala's abilty to guide the group through the next exercise.
It has been a long time since I have felt in awe of a spiritual experience. I am very intellectual in my career and approach to life and thrill at sharing ideas. In the puja I reconnected with Spirit and felt awe again. I am finding that since the puja, my mind, spirit and heart are becoming balanced and in union. I especially liked the three-fold approach of having yoga exercises, then speaking exercises, then vignette exercises. It was full of wonder,
Michele
Mahalo nui loa for creating such a beautiful space this evening at Yoga Fuzion. I really enjoyed my first puja and look forward to others int he future.
Haunani Chong
I was so impressed by your energy, Kamala ... specifically, when I would touch you, it felt like the most divine Emptiness is alive in and through you. Being physically close with you felt so divinely impersonal, and rather than being exciting, it seemed to pull me into a very divine kind of void ... like a tremendous stillness through which tons of energy can move. As far as I can tell, you are quite a rare gift, a gift to this world that is generally so full of inner tension and conflict, aka ego ... I know you "get" what I am speaking of, what it is like to be that empty reed ... and what a service you can be to people you are with, helping them to feel the possibility of that place and to resonate with it as it lives in you.
--Ford Peck
Aweseome night, Kamala. You are a most amazing goddess. I am ever soooooo grateful to know you and learn from you. Deep thank yous I am so in love with life.....Mmmmmmmmmmm. Thank you for the candle you place on my path.
Anna Karenina
I'm amazed at your huge circle of friends and deep connections. Your ability to be with so many people and do your life's work so beautifully is very inspiring to me.
Jean Fraizer, Nurse & Dula
Again we would like to tell you what a wonderful evening your puja was - you made us feel very comfortable, welcomed and your down-to-earth sharing of your wisdom. We loved the partner yoga - it would be great to learn more about that. It was both beautiful and very connecting.
Janos and Sarah
Kamala has a unique capacity to bridge the finite and the infinite right here and now, inviting the etheric into the daily/mundane with incredible ease. She makes one realize that to grasp or attain grand "spiritual" aspirations, one must start with the daily grind, and vice versa.
Kamala has a keen understanding and ability to steer any issue at hand to the necessary direction at the very moment at which it is brought up. She provides support, comfort (heart) and vast intelligence to any issue, providing insight that could not possibly have been attained by the person facing the issue. Much love and thanks,
Elad Marish
I really enjoyed the Partner Yoga and Tantra class and learned a lot. It was delightful to see you and Michael interact and to observe the relaxed, easy way that you are as you teach was quite delightful.
Mare Asha
I love you and appreciate all your truth and love you have shone through my challenging emotional times. I especially loved the tone and feel of the puja you facilitated...felt so easy and natural and yet brought me to a deeper connect within and with others in the circle.
Goddess Grace
We absolutely LOVED your tantra. I sincerely hope you realize how gifted you are. It was such a nice bonding experience. I loved staying with my partner all night at the puja. We both opened up and learned new things about one another.
Deb Davies
Kamala's group coaching has redefined my goals, shifted my energy, and made me aware of my blocks. I discovered powerful tools that will continue to help me throughout my life. I chose to be at the class on the night of my 38th birthday because the awareness Kamala's class brings to my life is a gift I will use and cherish for the rest of my life. -- Bad Girl Liz
I received so many tools and gifts from Kamala to empower me on my journey. Her insights were exactly what I needed. Her ability to communicate in a way that led me to the answers I needed was profound.--Tara Eby, Photographer
The 90-Day Conscious Creators MasterMind class with Kamala is a great value to me in the respect that I learned what I most needed to learn: to love myself unconditionally through the unconditional love of God. With the inspiration, leadership, love, care, and coaching of Kamala there is a deep acceptance, love, and encouragement to soar in growth spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. The support and synergy of everyone is potent and powerful--Joy-See (Now known as Love-Her)
This course has been an incredible experience. I went into it with some reservations but I took a leap of faith and am grateful that I did. I’ve gained some tools and insights that are and have been life-changing.
The results of one aspect so far exceeded my wildest dreams that it has blown me away. I wanted to manifest acknowledgement as an artist. I thought it would manifest in the sale of a piece of work, but instead it manifested in an invitation to be interviewed on TV as an artist. Thanks for everything, Kamala, the experience has been extraordinary! --Laura Jean
90 day conscious creators class
If you are ready for real, deep, life transformation, work with Kamala Devi. It's that simple. I made changes and took leaps I never would have even thought about much less actually done through my work with Kamala. She is the real deal.
Sarah Granby
I just have to express how grateful I am to have you in my life. Your ability to intuit issues at lightning speed continues to amaze me. It's so enormously helpful to have your perspective partly because you've personally journeyed through similarly unusual territory and I can trust you not to respond based on limiting cultural biases. Plus, you seem to have an endless bag of tools. Your support is such a huge blessing.
Vicki Vantoch, Author
Last night i finished reading your book. today i was explaining to a friend how i feel like i've come from pilgrimage just being the witness to someone else's. i didn't expect to be so touched, moved, inspired, connected to this book. i feel the way i move in my body and it feels different because of this experience. like i said in my voice mail to you, a part of me that was taking a nice long rest has awakened. my practice of connecting to source is strong. love is flowing through me at moments really effortlessly. last night in my rootsy african dance class i slipped so deeply into the rhythms that i felt my body being moved by something else. thank you for helping me to step in to this flow.
