Tantric Body De-armouring Retreat with Andrew Barnes

Andrew Barnes commenced the development of Tantric Body De-armouring in 1998. His purpose was to ready the body and the vagus nerve for the potential experience of expanded orgasm, altered states of consciousness, or Kundalini awakenings. Without such preparation or de-armouring, this elevated experience of pleasure and expansion could become too intense for the mind and nervous system to handle. However, with proper guidance and preparation, these profound experiences can be not only manageable but deeply nourishing and transformative.

​Awakening Vibrational Potential

In this retreat, participants will receive the keys to an awakened existence, amplifying their vibrational frequency. In our supportive sanctuary, participants can shed the armour constraining their true energetic potential and tap into the boundless energy of their sexual life-force.

The Vitality of Tantric Body De-armouring

Through Tantric Body De-armouring (TBD), we address the unresolved tensions and emotional imbalances that limit our vibrational state. Many find themselves caught in a continuous cycle of self-healing. However, TBD provides more than just a pathway to sexual ecstasy and spiritual growth. It offers avenues to autonomy, agency, wellness, relationship vitality, and discovering one's life purpose. TBD offers a transformative solution, breaking this cycle and lessening the perpetual feeling of needing to 'heal ourselves'.

Cultivating High-Vibrational States

In our retreat, we will prime our bodies and vagus nerve safely in preparation to cultivate high-vibrational bliss states. These states lay the groundwork for accessing expanded states of consciousness, enabling participants to move beyond victim mentalities and overcome feelings of powerlessness, release deep-seated patterns, enhance brain chemistry, and activate dormant cognitive and intuitive abilities.

The Dance of Ancestral Wisdom and Tantric Body De-armouring

Venturing into the expansive realm of personal development, it's essential to understand that our growth journey is not just an accumulation of experiences. It's a dance between our conscious intentions and the intricate DNA and genetic code passed down from our ancestors. Tapping into this ancestral wisdom can be a powerful source of resilience, empathy and love. As highlighted in our blog post "Turn On Maximally: A Transgenerational Epigenetic Awakening," actions taken in transformative environments, like Tantric Body De-armouring, can profoundly influence and positively harness our genetic expression. This interplay, rooted in unlocking the beneficial aspects of our ancestral code, is the magic of epigenetics.

Important Information for Participants:

• Trauma-Informed Care: At the outset of our event, we'll institute trauma-aware guidelines and retreat boundaries. Our goal is to ensure that each participant feels completely respected and at ease, moving at a pace that aligns with their individual comfort.
• Participant Autonomy: We prioritise a pressure-free environment. No participant is obliged to engage in any activity they're uncomfortable with. Everyone is empowered to determine their level of involvement, ensuring informed consent is always at the forefront.
• Mutual Interaction: During our retreats, specific segments allow participants to practice techniques through mutual interaction, such as partnered exercises or small group activities. Any couples attending the events have the option to partner together or be paired with other participants. Individuals attending the retreats are paired with other participants through a carefully and thoughtfully structured group process. This method cultivates a harmonious environment and enriches the integrity of the group experience.
• Participation Choices: These opportunities to explore and embody the principles taught are entirely optional, and individual choice is prioritised. Alternatives are provided for those who prefer not to participate in these sessions, and facilitators ensure all interactions are conducted with care, respect, and adherence to guidelines and personal boundaries.
• Limitations of Our Expertise: While our training encompasses trauma-informed care and informed consent, we aren't equipped or accredited to address deep-seated trauma. Those seeking trauma-related healing should consult a certified trauma therapist or medical professional.
• Event Purpose: Note that no trauma therapists or medical experts will be present during our event. The purpose of this retreat is educational and recreational. If you have concerns about attending, we advise you to consult with a medical professional to determine if this event is suitable for you.
• Nudity and Boundaries: Some activities might offer optional degrees of nudity and mutual consensual interaction with other participants. Your personal boundaries will always be held in the highest regard.

Andrew Barnes' worldview encourages exploration beyond the usual ways of enhancing life experience. Drawing on a rich tapestry of experiences, insights, and even the lessons learned from mistakes and missteps, he brings a clear and distinctive presence, transparency, and approach. In addition to conceptual themes like sexual energy meditation, orgasmic expansion, vibrational awareness, and pineal gland activation, he addresses daily issues such as consent, relationships, love, pleasure, sexual dysfunctions, communication, limiting behavioural patterns, and health. With sensitivity and warmth, and at times irreverence and humour, he shares his insights.

Andrew holds a Master of Health Science (Sexual Health) and five diplomas in various disciplines of bodywork and energy healing. Since 1998, he has been facilitating sexuality and bodywork seminars, courses, retreats, and coaching sessions, and to date, he has facilitated events in 49 countries.

His creations include:

• Tantric Body De-armouring
• Orgastic Breath Dance Meditation
• Tantric Full Body Energy Orgasm Retreats
• The Relationship Map
• Pineal Gland Activation Meditation
• Heart-centred Sexuality Meditation
• Sananga Awakening Meditation
• The Reconciliation Ritual Between Women & Men

Additionally, he is the author of the books:

• "The Relationship Map Guidebook: Greathearted Love"
• "Demystifying Female Genitalia: The Confluence of Scientific Insight & Historical Chronicle: A Comprehensive Anatomy Guide"
• "Heart of the Flower: The Book of Yonis”

Andrew's passion is founded in his desire to facilitate transformative growth in others, guiding them toward a heightened awareness of unconscious beliefs and behaviours that often limit their potential. By assisting them to recognise and navigate these hidden barriers, he empowers them to encompass their vibrational resonance and energetic attunement, and to love more with less fear, allowing for a fuller, more enriched life experience. This journey involves not only self-awareness but a profound understanding of the interconnectedness of mind, body, sexuality, energy, and spirit.

Andrew's approach extends beyond conventional wisdom, uncovering the untapped transformative power of sexual energy. He shows how this primal force, often misunderstood or overlooked, can be harnessed as a spiritual catalyst. He facilitates methods and techniques to channel this energy, transforming it into a rejuvenating force that transcends physical pleasure, reaching into realms of emotional harmonisation, consciousness expansion, and even material abundance. His approach weaves together ancient wisdom with modern insights, making them accessible and relevant to contemporary life. The result is a holistic framework that opens new pathways for personal and spiritual growth, and sexual and orgasmic revolution, where sexual energy becomes a key to unlocking potential and aligning with one's true purpose.

With a focused commitment to autonomy and agency, Andrew assists others in reclaiming their personal power, fostering communication, and defining clear, healthy boundaries, even in the face of authority. Having gone through many personal and professional transformations, including undergoing an enlightening accountability process, and having professional supervision with Betty Martin since 2021, Andrew builds his retreats on the foundational pillars of trauma-informed care, trauma-informed touch, and trauma-informed consent. These principles support in creating nurturing and flexible environments that adapt to individual needs, fostering growth and enriching experiences.

Andrew has been a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society since 2009, a recognition available only to the top 15% of undergraduate and postgraduate university students worldwide. More information can be found at www.goldenkey.org
