Something else for the weekend..

I am always on the lookout for an unusual angle, a fresh perspective, someone who can shed new light on this most unique of experiences. When a friend offered me the chance to interview a professional teacher of Tantra, I jumped at the chance. I didn’t only jump, I drove. Several hundred miles to Land’s End, and to the home of a rare creature indeed. Sixty, foxy and about as comfortable in her skin as a human being can get, Diana was as illuminating on the subject of sex and virginity as I had hoped she would be. She lives an unconventional life and has taken an unconventional route to get there but as she speaks, you find yourself thinking, as did the lady seated next to Meg Ryan in the infamous scene from the film, ‘When Harry met Sally’, ‘I’ll have whatever she’s having please’….

As it turns out, I am.

I am spending this weekend on a Tantric retreat, courtesy of Diana. This time I will be travelling in the other direction, up north, and to what, I have absolutely no idea. My reluctance to read the course notes probably has more to do with denial than the ‘busyness’ that has kept me occupied all week. Suffice it to say, if I never speak of this weekend again, you will know that I spent it examining my nether regions, in a stone circle whilst chanting Kumbiya.
