Kink coaching

There is a new awareness of kink and fetish lifestyle, and many people are now beginning to explore these elements as part of their foreplay, thus bringing a different dimension into sexual play and enhancement.

Yet many are floundering in the dark, not knowing exactly what to do, or how to go about obtaining the right accesories, or how to use them effectively. In some cases, they have been "put off' due to lack of knowledge, or even have hurt their partner. What they need is a basic introduction into the safety aspects of this lifestyle, they need to know how to play safe, thus enhancing their enjoyment of this new found pleasure.

I have researched, and been involved in this particular lifestyle for many years, and thus, can assist in giving advice, or help couples, or women explore this in a safe and controlled manner. I have also discussed this with a Pro Domme whom I have known for a long time, we have been working out various options and hopefully soon will be able to make her services available as well at Shakti Gardens - for teaching and training, and enabling others to experience these various elements with her, or with me.

This is not about abuse or punishment, it is discovering the erotic elements in fetish and kink, it is about learning to utilise this new found knowledge to enhance foreplay, thus creating a new awareness and appreciation of the body, and your creativity in giving or receiving pleasures. It is about surrender to pleasure, surrender and allow another to control the foreplay, and thus the enhancement of bliss. It is about delighting the senses, exploring new limits.

All enquiries will be dealt with in the strictest confidence - if you need to talk, ask questions, need advice, then feel free to mail me at info@shaktigardens.com, or call me on 082 961 5454

This is the year of change and transformation, this is the year to discover yourself

Dakini at Shakti Gardens

Shakti Gardens is continually evolving and changing, we did experience is small downturn last year, but we believe the change in the economy is now definitely creating a more positive energy and awareness for this year.

We are please to have with us a Dakini from the Advait Tantra School - Shekina Moondancer - who is well versed in the Sacred Healing Arts. She also brings with her different skills in that she utilises card reading, crystals etc. Not only does she offer physical bodywork and healing, but she also teaches, counsels and trains others with regards to Tantra, thus enabling them to have a better understanding of Tantra and its principles, as well as assisting them to create a deeper awareness of themselves, their energies, and their wellness.

Shekina offers an introductory session, as well as a full session for Tantric Healing - she only works by appointment, so we would then request that you call first to check availability.

Alliance Francais presents A Very Naughty Valentine


WHAT ABOUT A VERY NAUGHTY VALENTINE?


For couples and singles

Screening of The Realm of the Senses*, directed by Nagisa Oshima

“Baring much more than bodies, Oshima delves deeply into subconscious carnal desires under the influence of society, and the eternal human contradictions between liberating sexual impulses and erotic enslavement.” Newsblaze


Alliance Française of Johannesburg, Saturday 13 February, from 7pm, followed by an initiation to sensuality with Shakti Gardens.

Prepare yourself for a very, very naughty Valentine’s Day! DIBUKA* invites you to the open-air screening of Nagisa Oshima's long-awaited erotic French-Japanese masterpiece, The Realm of the Senses*, at the Alliance Française of Johannesburg.


Thirty four years after its production and still censored in Japan, Nagisa Oshima's film is still one of the most controversial films to have ever been completed. A graphic portrayal of insatiable sexual desire, Oshima's film, set in 1936 and based on a true incident depicts a man and a woman consumed by a transcendent, destructive love while living in an era of ever escalating imperialism and governmental control. Less a work of pornography than of politics, the Realm of the Senses is a brave, taboo-breaking milestone. Widely banned when it was first released, the Realm of the Senses was seen by few viewers during its initial theatrical run. So don’t miss the chance to see it!

During this naughty Valentine's Day, a picnic Love Basket will be available for sale, for couples and singles wishing to indulge in the best French cuisine that will induce orgasmic flavours even in the most jaded of palates.


After the screening, Shakti Gardens, a sanctuary dedicated to sensuality will make you surrender into a complete sensory experience, and offers you an initiation to tantric sensual healing massage.

How singles can be comfortable in such an event? Mrs Serena will organise for you a fast dating that may allow you to find the love of your life!


And as if it wasn’t enough, DJ Ben Montrésor will make you lose your mind with his sexy music selection.


But when midnight strikes, time to move to the MOLOKO or the LATINOVA! Half price coupons will be available at the Alliance Française of Johannesburg on the night of the event.


So bring along your favourite picnic blanket, put on your sexiest dancing shoes, and join us for a night full of surprise under the Jozi dazzling night sky!
