Sacred Tantra for Couples
April 11-14, 2025 in Ashland, Oregon
Join co-facilitators Sarah Kreisman and Jamie Liptan for a three-night retreat at a beautiful property in the hills outside Ashland, OR.
All genders and sexual orientations are welcome.
This workshop leads couples on a journey that cultivates one’s relationship to Self and the Other. It calls forth the awareness of relationship as a sacred forge within which we have the opportunity to craft and shape ourselves and each other as we seek to be the best lovers, partners, parents, etc. that we can be.
Neo-tantra will help you deepen the bonds of love and elevate sexual fulfillment to a whole new level, helping you to see yourselves as intimate allies in the face of conflict. During this powerful and educational intensive, you will learn many confidence-building skills and tools to take with you into your daily life.
“Tantra acknowledges that sex is at the root of life and that to make human sexuality and erotic union a form of worship and meditation is to practice reverence for life, leading us directly through the pleasure of the sense to spiritual liberation.”
–Margot Anand

“For 30 years I have enjoyed exploring my sexuality in a wide variety of ways. Through my teens and 20’s the essence of my erotic play was largely recreational. At times it was fun and joyful, at others it was more of a darker exploration of my own power and an avoidance of my
own fears and vulnerabilities. As I came into a deeper knowing of myself and entered into long-term monogamy in my 30s, our erotic journey unfolded in beautiful and challenging ways. It became a stage upon which our inner wounds and desires interacted and unfolded. As we took
off the masks of daily life and entered into erotic space together we came to realize how many of the strengths and skills we possessed were rendered useless armor as we stood vulnerable and wanting before each other, protective of our most tender parts. After many years of
tumultuous and meaningful efforts of relationship cultivation we discovered the high art of Neo-Tantric practices. This was an amazing breakthrough for us as it not only enabled our sexual life to deepen and blossom, but it has also cultivated an unbreakable emotional intimacy between us that we desperately needed and struggled to cultivate. This path of sacred sexuality has been so potent for us that we are honored to provide the safe space and the teachings to couples like us, like you who are ready for a different experience; a richer and more satisfying experience of your emotional and erotic relationship.” –Sarah Kreisman
Jamie is an expert energetic bodyworker, teacher, organization builder, and space-holder. A life-
long buddhist, he has always been fascinated by the deepest realms of life, and in particular the
energies that connect people. He has taught and written on Buddhism and philosophy, built
organizations across many different fields, helped many people release the trauma stored in
their bodies, and learned the deepest lessons of his life as an intimate partner and a father.
Across all of these experiences, he has learned to hold strong containers for both groups and
individuals, allowing each person to feel witnessed and held.
Jamie Liptan
“As a man raised by a strong mother who suffered abuse at the hands of my father, I struggled for decades to feel positively about being born a man. I learned to laude the feminine, to hold her divinity as sacrosanct and immutable. Conversely, deep down, I loathed the masculine as
inherently toxic. It was inevitable, I felt, that the same monster that hurt my mother and countless women for tens of thousands of years lurked somewhere inside me. And so I contorted myself to hide my masculinity behind beautiful words and endless acts of self-sacrifice. It was through many years of painful healing, the amazing love and acceptance of my partner, and the discovery of polarity work and neo-tantric principles that I have been able to step out from the shadows of the monster I was so afraid of. Today, I am proud to be a man. I am proud to hold solid, safe, masculine space for the dance of the divine feminine energy. And I have been so honored to help other men find the truth of their beautiful masculinity, that we may at last join in the cosmic flow of yin and yang.” - Jamie Liptan
