Nothing is excluded. Tantra also teaches that the answers aren’t “out there” to be found\, but rather they have been inside yo u all along\, waiting to be remembered or found.\nOur Deeper classes are c hock-full of fun\, sexy\, creative &\; powerful practices. \nWhen does 1 + 1 = 3?: \nWhen subject and object join together to make something exqu isitely new?

It is the first language and the last\, and it always tells the truth.”- Margaret Atwood\nRecent Testimo nials: \nTemple in the Trees is a unique container for growth and healing. They will support you wherever you are in your journey.  They  provid e a space and programs that encourage you to explore and the safety and gu idance to engage and push past your comfort zone. My favorite part has bee n the opportunities to explore how to hold your boundaries and to feel all the feelings involved in that.  You feel like they are in it with you\, not lecturing at you\, as topics and experiences are explored.\n~ Miss Ma rtini\nTemple in the Trees is a delightfully safe haven for exploration an d connection\, and the exploration OF connection. Michael and Lara deftly lead us through a series of exercises designed to put us more in touch wit h ourselves and others as we explore our own boundaries and challenge ours elves to come right to our edges with confidence and curiosity. I cannot r ecommend this space and these facilitators more fervently. I often imagine what the world at large could be like if only everyone would take the tim e to walk this path with themselves and their fellow humans.\n~ B. Miranda \nHeart and safety are at the core of engaging with Temple in the Trees. I took a Tantra series course that opened me up to a journey through person al discomfort\, release\, acceptance\, and self love. I felt safe to get n aked and boast as one assignment asked us to do\, if we felt like playing. To be raw and present in your sexuality\, I can think of no safer space n or with people that care for you any deeper.\n~ Jacquelyn D.\nWhat I have received in my life as a direct result of the practices at the Temple in t he Trees is almost impossible to communicate with words. I have learned a level of self-expression and understanding of my energetic nature that I n ever even knew existed or even fathomed was within my grasp. Michael and L ara create a sacred and protected space\, a circle\, that allows me and al l of the others that are participating to transcend the immediate recognit ion of what "is" to safely explore the possibility of what "can be." Throu gh these enlightening sessions\, my partner and I have been able to connec t with and understand each other in ways that defy the social and cultural programming that defined our lives for so many years. To discover that I can specifically sense my Lover's presence in a room full of other people was absolutely mind-blowing and exhilarating. This has also given us the a bility to embrace the love and compassion of others on a different level. While I am not a particularly religious person\, I have experienced an exi stence of something on a very spiritual plane and I have felt an incredibl y powerful transformation of my connection with "being" human.\n~ R. Grime s\nThey are both gifted and poignant facilitators with a calming effect on hundreds of participants.\n~ Gordon McCracken\nWHERE?: \nThe Temple in th e Trees\, Leesburg Virginia  is our home. \nWe welcome you here as a spa ce for you too to come home to yourself in. \nAn oasis of tantric learning tucked in the woods of Northern Virginia\, we are 30 minutes from DC & \; Frederick MD\, an hour from Baltimore and 15 minutes from Dulles Airpor t.\nSurrounded by wineries\, nature\, magnificent mountain view’s and hi storic rivers\, we are a destination of peace and prosperity.\nWHO:\n~ You r Guides ~ \nLara &\; Michael Blackin\n- - - - - -\nLara Blackin\nLara is a Tantric Educator\, Sacred Intimacy Practitioner and Artist specializi ng in therapeutic\, sensual &\;  energetic touch bringing aliveness t o the art of living + loving.\nLara supports the curious on their journey toward mindfulness and connection with conscious communication tools\, int imacy practices\, tantric embodiment exercises\, and acclaimed artistry.\n A 1000/hr e-ryt Professional Yoga Educator\, 500/hr KRI Kundalini Teacher\ , Certified Pranassage Practitioner\, Nationally ACRB Certified Reflexolog ist and Internationally certified ICNHA Mendi Henna Artist\, Lara is a lea der in the field of sacred embodiment with over 25 years of professional e xperience.\nAn herbal alchemist and ceramics artist\, she calls upon the e lements of nature to create pleasure and harmony.  Lara is the owner of Tendrils of Green Tantric Arts and writes beautifully poetic essays and cr eates erotic art at tendrilsofgreen.com.\nAs co-proprietor of Temple in th e Trees\, a sacred space for community tucked away in the forests of North ern Virginia\, Lara facilitates tantric learning\, hosts monthly Women’s Circles\, movement + meditation classes\, events and play to enable peopl e to connect with others and express themselves in a safe\, nonjudgmental environment.\n• • •\nMichael Blackin\nMichael is a Tantric educator who is passionate about supporting people on their journey to greater pres ence\, intimacy and pleasure.  He is dedicated to helping others reach t heir highest good\, creating community\, pursuing bliss and enriching all comers.\nAs co-proprietor of Temple in the Trees\, a sacred space for comm unity tucked away in the forests of Northern Virginia\, Michael facilitate s tantric learning\, hosts monthly men’s circle gatherings\, movement cl asses\, meditation\, events and play to enable people to connect with othe rs and express themselves in a safe\, nonjudgmental environment ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dev.ourtempleinthetrees.com/wp-content/u ploads/2022/08/D0250F53-7D2E-4A59-B3EE-BBADFDD7B3DE-1.jpeg CATEGORIES:Classes,Tantra 101 Classes LOCATION:Temple in the Trees\, Leesburg\, Leesburg\, VA\, 20175\, United St ates GEO:39.09595;-77.545 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Leesburg\, Leesburg\, VA\, 20175\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Temple in the Trees:geo:3 9.09595,-77.545 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20221106T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
