Sensual Mastery for Women

Sensual Mastery for Women is a tantra gathering for women at EarthSpirit Centre in Compton Dundon, Somerset, England. It sits within a programme of workshops and retreats at the centre that includes tantra trainings, women's retreats, yoga, breathwork and embodiment work. Anyone searching for a women's tantra workshop in Somerset, near Glastonbury and the Somerset Levels, will find it a quiet rural setting for this kind of work.

The Setting

EarthSpirit Centre stands in the Somerset countryside, in the area of the ancient Somerset Levels. It has a Main Centre and a separate building called Little Earth, and for larger gatherings the two are used together as the Whole Centre. The centre has a long record of hosting tantra work, including the Living Tantra trainings led by relationship coach and Art of Being® teacher Jan Day, and the Passion, Power and Love gathering, which explores the sacred, the joyful and the sensual in everyday life and relationships.

Little Earth is described as a self-contained eco centre with single, twin or triple ensuite rooms and a large, light yoga space. Retreats held there have served healthy vegetarian meals made with fresh home-grown produce, and dietary restrictions can be catered for. The centre's own pages cover its facilities, accommodation, catering, accessibility and directions for anyone with particular needs.

Getting There

The nearest train station is Castle Cary. From there, you will need onward travel to Compton Dundon, so it is worth planning the last stretch of your journey ahead of time. Glastonbury, with its Tor, Chalice Well and White Spring, is close by and often visited by people staying at the centre.

Before You Go

Retreats at EarthSpirit tend to be residential, so pack for a stay in the countryside: comfortable clothing for movement and stillness, layers for changeable English weather, and shoes suited to walking on country paths. Time outdoors is part of the rhythm of many gatherings here, with space to walk, rest and settle between sessions.

Because this is a women's tantra event, it is worth reading the full programme details before you arrive, so you know what the days will involve and can arrive at ease.
