Tantra for Embodied Awareness and Connection

Tantra for Embodied Awareness and Connection
Venue: The Sunshine Room, East Whins, The Park Ecovillage, Findhorn

True intimacy starts with connection to oneself - our body, emotions, and present-moment experience. Learning to listen to these internal signals allows us to respond more authentically to others. It is a learnable skill.

This workshop offers a structured, experiential space to develop that capacity. Through guided practices, attention and bodily awareness are cultivated, increasing presence, sensitivity, and relational capacity. These skills support more meaningful connection in all areas of life, not only in romantic relationships.

You will be guided to slow down and tune into your body through movement, dance, somatic and emotional awareness, meditation, simple rituals, and conscious, consent-based touch. These practices cultivate presence and embodied awareness, deepen relational sensitivity, and invite curiosity and playfulness in how you relate to yourself, others, and the wider field of life.

The workshop combines practical learning with guided experiential work in a safe, respectful, and consent-based environment.

Open to singles and couples of all genders and sexual orientations. Participants will work in pairs or small groups, with clear guidance, structure, and boundaries throughout.

Couples may choose to stay together for the duration of the workshop.

No nudity or sexual contact is involved. All exercises are consent-led, with full freedom to participate at your own pace.

Whether you are new to this work or a seasoned practitioner, you are warmly invited.

" I felt very nourished by the workshop - unusually relaxed afterwards.  As always, it felt very well held.  I gently touched my edges and came away with renewed intention to go into them more" 

"I feel that something opened up in the connection between my partner and me after this night. It was both confronting, in good way, and a wonderful experience"

"Anya Heidi's congruence in warmth and encouragement opens up a space to explore on a deeper level towards personal development."

" I felt incredibly held by your presence and it was very clear that you have a wealth of experience holding such spaces. After the workshop I felt more connected to my body and my body felt awake in places that had been asleep."

Lovingly held by Anya Heidi Oravasaari – Certified Embodiment & Tantra Teacher

Anya Heidi Oravasaari lives at the intersection of nature, ritual, and the body’s wisdom. Originally from Finland, she has lived nearly 30 years in the UK and now calls Findhorn her home. Her life has been a conversation with the cycles of the earth, a deep study of the lessons that death teaches about fully living, and a devoted, twenty-year immersion in the sacred art of Tantra.

She is a Tantra teacher, with a journey of befriending her body, deepening her connection to her womanhood, and cultivating a heart willing to dare - to love, to feel, and to live with openness. For Anya Heidi, Tantra is a living, experiential practice - far from indulgence or dogma, it awakens presence, nurtures care, and strengthens the ability to engage consciously with life. Through this enquiry, she has grown into a deeper embrace of the human experience, finding a sense of home in her body, and experiencing how embodiment can cultivate presence, compassion, and aliveness. Menopause, as a liminal space, has been humbling and expansive, deepening her understanding of embodiment, womanhood, and the subtle rhythms that shape life.

She is also a Non-Linear Movement Method® teacher, guiding others to reconnect with their body’s intelligence, curiosity, and natural movement.

Anya Heidi offers in-person and online workshops, group events, and one-on-one sessions that invite an embodied homecoming in yourself. Her work gently supports a return to love, and the unfolding journey from fear toward presence, connection, and embodied joy. It is not about perfection or transcendence - it is about coming home to the messy, sensual, and tender experience of being alive.

Her invitation is gentle yet heartfelt: to experience a homecoming in yourself, and through that embodied presence, to awaken a deeper maturity - a remembering of our interconnection with the earth, and a way of moving through the world with care, responsibility, and reverence that extends beyond ourselves.
