Magic of Tantra

Magic of Tantra is a four-day tantra workshop on emotional wisdom and sacred intimacy, held at PachaMama Eco Village & Retreat Center in Nicoya, Guanacaste, Costa Rica. It is led by Raaji Amankay, a trained body worker and therapist, and is open to singles and couples who want to look honestly at how they love and relate.

The workshop draws on tantra as an ancient practice and philosophy, using a range of tools to heal sexual conditioning and awaken a more vibrant, sacred intimacy.

What to Expect

The starting point is that love and relating sit at the center of a life, yet they often bring confusion, pain, and hesitation. Their roots usually lie in conditioning absorbed through childhood and puberty, from biology, family, religion, culture, and society. That influence shapes early sexual experiences and, with them, our capacity for intimacy. People tend either to copy and conform or to rebel and react, and in both cases something of their authenticity, integrity, creativity, trust, and freedom gets left behind.

The group offers a safe and respectful space to bring awareness to those unconscious beliefs, patterns, and ways of relating. Specific structures and meditation techniques are explored to enhance sensitivity, deepen physical and emotional awareness, and cultivate trust. Communication tools that support honesty, respect, authenticity, and care are shared and then practiced, as a foundation for meaningful connection.

The tantric approach here is oriented toward acceptance, relaxation, and the flow of energy and love. Staying present and open-hearted is treated as an ongoing practice, one that can turn intimacy and sexuality into something that nourishes body, heart, and soul. There is no nudity in the group room.
