About John Hawken

NEW! Week Workshop Level: 0 - Teaster Tantric Path

John took a first at Cambridge, studied experimental theatre with Grotowski at the Theatre Laboratory, and taught drama before training as a humanistic psychotherapist specializing in energy and bodywork, with a private practice in Germany for ten years.

Tantra

He trained with Margot Anand as a licensed teacher of SkyDancing Tantra, has taught tantra full time for 20 years, founding SkyDancing UK in 1992, and has taught over 30 year-long singles and couples trainings in Germany, UK and the Czech Republic. He specialises in working with couples on strengthening and deepening their relationship, and in very grounded existential tantra which integrates the light and the dark, the heaven and the earth, the spirit and the body. He teaches both couples and singles how to find one´s power, how to take more pleasure out of life and the key for all of this: how to open one´s heart. John is one of the most experienced teachers of tantric energy work in Europe.

Shamanism

John Hawken was for 5 years a member of the the shamanic lodge led by Arwyn Dreamwalker, where he studied the twisted hair shamanic path, which weaves together Celtic and Native American tribal traditions. He specialises in creating shamanic earth rituals in sacred sites such as stone circles as in Magical Cornwall, Tantric temples on his India pilgrimage, Goddess sites on his Mary Magedlene pilgrimage or power places in Magical Bohemia. He has a passion for the ritual of shamanic healing circles and currently runs shamanic lodges in both the UK and Czech republic.


SEX MAGIC Alchemy of the Transformation, New Year Celebration with Jon, Rose, Christine, Bernard, Jitka Mandalam, Honza and Maruška

 

Imagine…

 

  • Journeying to the depths of Southern Bohemia in the Czech Republic.
  • Arriving at the amazing Centre of Transformation in Cernivsko on December 29th where you are warmly greeted by one or more members of the Transformation Team.
  • Meeting other fellow adventurers who have arrived from Europe: maybe some old friends, maybe an opportunity to meet and bond with new friends:  like-minded individuals who also invest in their personal growth and who relate to you with kindness and respect.
  • Taking time to explore the grounds with its stone circle, lake and deep forests…
  • Being nourished with excellent vegetarian/vegan cuisine.
  • Entering the Centre’s Main Hall and feeling the powerful vibrations of a room which has hosted transformative workshops for thirty years.
  • Sitting in a circle in which we introduce ourselves - and the journey begins…  

 

 

At the end of this challenging year, we are going to take you on a journey of transformation like no other.

 

New Year is the perfect time for evaluating what worked and what did not in 2021, then wiring the found wisdom into the circuitry of your plans for 2022. We offer you five days of opportunity to help you shed everything which no longer serves your life, and open your heart and mind to a new reality, one which is created by you – because only you know what is best for you.

 

On this journey, you are going to your edge because the edge is where you feel most fully alive, and where transformation runs deep and lasts for the rest of your life.

 

We invite you to;

  • Sit alone, in the winter crisp of a Bohemian forest, space in nature for contemplating what it is you really want in life.
  • Purify in the heat and smoke of a ritually-constructed Sweat Lodge – and maybe cool off in an ice-cold lake -  if you are up for that challenge.
  • Dance ecstatically with fellow adventurers to amazing music, then relaxing, feeling your body glow with health whilst your mind dwells in love.
  • Participate in powerful group rituals designed to raise energy.
  • Learn potent tools for growth and transformation which will remain with you for the rest of your life.

 

The thread running through these five days is the practice of Sigil Magick. A sigil is a symbol of intent and we guide you through the process of

 

  • Formulating your intent for 2022 and focusing this into an embodied sigil. We guide you into the deeper desires of your soul rather than your ego. As a result, you will formulate realistic and growth-affirming intentions which are more likely to manifest lasting happiness than merely wishing for,say,a new car. Satisfying the desires of your soul will bring you much more fulfillment.
  • Embodying your sigil according to the centuries-old Tantrik practice of nyasa.
  • Projecting your sigil into 2022 so that your intention manifests as reality. We do this as a tribe in a group ritual and invite you to bond into a tribe for the evening of 31st and work your amazing magic with like-minded souls. 
  • According to the Western Hermetic Traditions, this ritual is more powerful still when participants forget what they have wished for. So we invite you to a post-ritual Forgetting, aided and abetted by a glass of fizz and some of our mince pies. After this we will celebrate the new year (and the new you) with dancing and liveliness in the temple.

 

 

You will be held by an international team of experts qualified in the fields of tantra, shamanism, bioenergetics, yoga, psychotherapy and dance. Your guides are seven members of the Paths of Transformation Teaching Faculty. We have trained extensively with its founder, John Hawken, a world leader in the field of personal transformation, and Alchemy of Transformation is an expression of his teachings.
