You've heard the word bantered around, but what is tantra anyway? Ask that question 100 times and receive, well, a lot of different answers. And do we mean Left Handed Tantra, or Right Handed? Trika Kashmiri Shaivismsm or California Tantra? What about the tantra that is primarily Shakti based? And what is kundalini rising? Who is Kali? And what is the role of the yang masculine in today's spiritual adventure? Some think that tantra is simply a shortcut to great sex. Or about breathing with one's partner. In the East, Tantra is considered a transgressive path. The deeper truth is that Tantra is what a Tantrika does. And a Tantrika is one who lives according to the Principles of Tantra...

Lee Warren is devoted to personal and collective liberation through reclaiming the wisdom woven into every cell of our beings. Her approach to this liberation is to romance the brilliance inherent in each one of us through cultivating a profound intimacy with self, others, and the mystery. She believes that this happens through gentle inquiry and self knowledge, coregulation with secure others, learning to receive and trust the flow of life, and blissfully enjoying every moment of the incarnation we are given.

Have you always felt the Sacred in everything? And do you sometimes completely loose track of it? Do you know in your heart that every moment is an opportunity to be present? And does the every-day grind of life seem disconnected and boring at times? We don't have to sit on a mountaintop to enjoy the Sacred. We are designed to connect to Source wherever we are, while cooking, cleaning and loving on our kids, right? Even when we have to drop them off at school at 7 in the morning! But how do we simultaneously stand firmly in life with all its overwhelming distractions and mundane boring moments and feel the deep satisfying connection to source?

I am a natural health expert with a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine. I am a unique Naturopathic Physician who embodies my teachings while striving to live a sustainable off grid lifestyle at Earthaven Ecovillage. After a decade of clinical practice in a busy city, I grew tired of telling people how to be healthy and wanted to show them instead. In 2016, I moved to Earthaven Ecovillage where I founded my second clinic, Elements Naturopathic Medicine, adjacent to my 5,000 square foot community organic garden where I host group healing retreats. My home at Earthaven provides the precious space in nature to be a part-time clinician and host of healing retreats, a regenerative biodynamic gardener, homesteader, mother, and enthusiastic community member. Over the past two decades I have empowered thousands of people with the knowledge of how to heal their body, mind, and spirit by applying basic tenets of health including nature and community connection. When crafting your customized wellness recommendations, I combine knowledge of cutting edge science with the wisdom of time honored healing traditions to meet your individual needs.

Păo Shan is enthusiastically committed to integrating life energies. He is a lay-ordained Sōtō Zen Monk, meditation guide and Indic tantrika. His direct connection with Indic tantra began in 2020, when he met his tantric teacher, Swami Ravi Rudra Bharati (formerly Rudolph Ballentine), founder of Dancing Shiva Tantra, NC. He then spent two and a half years living full-time at SokukoJi Buddhist Monastery, MI, meditating for 6.5 hours every day. His Buddhist guru, Sokuzan, holds lineages in both Tibetan and Sōtō Zen Buddhism (his lineage teachers were Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and Kōbun Chino Otogowa Roshi). The mind-training Păo Shan received throughout his time at SokukoJi allowed him to discover a clarity of negotiating with his existence as consciousness simultaneously experiencing both itself and the human form it currently inhabits. Dedicated to body/ mind/ spirit integration, he found his practice also needed to fully include our innate, human sensual and sexual energies. Păo Shan coordinates the Dancing Shiva Tantra for Men (SW MIchigan) Meet-up group, facilitating private and group meditation sessions, on-line and in his home in Kalamazoo, MI, where physical, mental, spiritual, and sexual energies are spontaneously explored, integrated and celebrated.

I am here to serve other humans who are deeply curious about living into their fullest human potential. I specifically work with intimacy as a spiritual path— as a way to embody the Divine Soul to the highest potential in this lifetime. I love to support people in healing their relationships with sex, money and themselves. Through practices like yoga, breath work, cuddling, embodiment and erotic work, tantra, eco-eroticism and other powerful modalities, I provide coaching and facilitation services in group and individual settings.
