THE PORTAL

8 MARCH, SATURDAY

10AM - 6PM

The Center, Noordhoek

Soulmate Delusions & The Relationship Map:

Love is the Journey of Mistakes and Forgiveness

Day one of the workshop to explore the deep connections between love, sexuality, and relationships through the unique lens of The Relationship Map, created by Andrew Barnes. Together, we’ll uncover the barriers to and solutions for creating lasting intimacy, including how the belief in soulmates can shape our capacity for genuine commitment. This journey will open new pathways to love, connection, and personal healing, all of which nurture your spiritual growth.

Throughout the day, you’ll discover how to nurture authentic relationships, whether with intimate partners, friends, family, or colleagues. This workshop empowers you to release recurring patterns that have held you back, inviting you to live more fully in the present moment and align with your deeper spiritual purpose.

As part of this journey, we will engage in the Reconciliation Ritual between Women and Men, a deeply empathetic experience designed to help end the ‘battle of the sexes’ and promote healing between females and males. This powerful ritual creates a sacred space for mutual understanding, respect, forgiveness, safety, and the mending of generational emotional wounds, which can have a ripple effect in our personal relationships.

What the Relationship Map Is

The Relationship Map is a guiding tool designed to help you navigate the intricate web of relationships.
Its goals include:

  1. Understanding Relational Dynamics: Gain insights into the dynamics of your relationships, improving communication and resolving conflicts with greater ease, leading to stronger, more meaningful connections.
  2. Enhancing Self-Awareness: Reflect on your actions, qualities, and motivations to deepen your understanding of who you are and how you connect with others.
  3. Facilitating Personal Growth: Identify areas for growth, address unresolved issues, and nurture emotional healing, cultivating a more embodied and fulfilling life.
  4. Promoting Emotional Well-Being: Use the insights and reflective tools provided by the Relationship Map to manage your emotions, build resilience, and align your life with your values and spiritual path.

As you deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships through the Relationship Map, you may find that your sense of attraction and the qualities you seek or value in others evolve. This journey of self-discovery and personal growth will help you align your connections more closely with your values, needs, and spiritual path, leading to more fulfilling and meaningful relationships.

Sananga Ceremony

To further cleanse and harmonise your physical, emotional, and energetic bodies at the end of this transformative first day, you are invited to participate in a Sananga ceremony.

Sananga, a magical plant medicine used by indigenous tribes in the Amazon, is renowned for its purifying effects on the pineal and pituitary glands. This powerful, non-psychoactive sacred eye drop ritual helps to clear blocked energies, sharpen spiritual vision, and enhance your connection to your inner self. Participating in this ceremony, like all the other exercises, is entirely optional and offers a unique opportunity to deepen the healing and transformative effects of the day’s work.

HOUT BAY

In this fascinating seminar using accurate anatomical diagrams and scientific research, Andrew skillfully and entertainingly navigates you through the history and biology of female sexuality.

Women’s Sexuality: Women’s genitals hold a captivating mystery that is often shrouded in secrecy and shame. Despite half the world’s population having a vagina or “yoni” (a Sanskrit term for “sacred place”), many women yearn to understand their anatomy and its wonders more fully. This part of the seminar, based on Andrew Barnes’ book Demystifying Female Genitalia, will guide you through:

  • Understanding the full extent and structure of the clit0ris, G-spot, and female prostate both anatomically and energetically.
  • The truth about female 0rgasm, female prostate gland, ejaculation, and squirting.
  • The secrets of Full Body Energetic orgasm.
  • The location of your G-sp0t, what it actually is, and how to awaken it.
  • Exploring how unresolved feelings towards men can block sexual energy and orgasm, and discovering ways to heal.
  • How to identify and overcome blocks to orgasm.
  • Uncovering the rich history of feminine sexuality and the anatomical misconceptions that persist today.
  • What amrita actually is and how it relates to cervix ejaculation.

EXPANDING MEN'S SEXUALITY SEMINAR

7 MARCH, FRIDAY

7PM - 10PM

The Center, Noordhoek

In this fascinating seminar using accurate anatomical diagrams and scientific research, Andrew skillfully and entertainingly navigates you through the history and biology of male sexuality.

Men’s Sexuality: Men have long been conditioned to rely on friction-based techniques in their lovemaking, often becoming goal-oriented sexually due to ejaculation addiction. This part of the seminar will introduce a new perspective, focusing on transforming lovemaking into expanded bliss states through an energetic approach.

Topics include:

  • Shifting from friction-based techniques to experiencing full body multiple orgasms without ejaculation.
  • Addressing and overcoming addiction to ejaculation, a common source of relationship challenges.
  • Discover the male sexual cycle and how to use it as a guidance system for knowing when ejaculation can generate energy rather than deplete it.
  • Solving early ejaculation and erection problems by changing thoughts, breathing, and healing emotional wounds.
  • Uncover the source of many women’s frustrations during sexual interaction.
  • Helping women experience extended full body energetic orgasms and riding a woman’s wave of bliss to reach higher states of consciousness.

Cacao Orgastic Breath Dance Meditation

9 MARCH, SUNDAY

4:30PM - 7:30PM

HOUT BAY

Your Vital Life-force Energy Experience

This event blends the sacred cacao ceremony with freestyle dance, Tantric breathing, and Kundalini Yoga to cleanse stagnant energy and elevate your vibrational frequency.

The Power of Cacao

Experience the raw power of ceremonial cacao, revered by the Incas as the “divine elixir.”

This sacred ceremony, practiced for thousands of years by nature-based cultures in Central America, uses cacao to elevate serotonin levels, boost libido, and evoke feelings of euphoria through anandamide, the “bliss molecule.”

Breath Sound and Movement

Discover the power of your vital life-force energy through a unique blend of intuitive dance, breathwork, the Heart-centred Sexuality Meditation, and Kundalini Yoga. Embrace your body’s expression and unlock new dimensions of beauty, wonder, and pleasure. This workshop offers a supportive environment to explore your creative potential and connect with your inner energy.

Learn to direct your sexual life-force energy up the spine to activate the thymus gland (heart chakra), thyroid gland (throat chakra), pituitary gland (third eye chakra), and pineal gland (crown chakra). Through this process, your sexual energy becomes a spiritual platform for accessing extraordinary states of reality.

INCLUDES CACAO
