Amanda's Bio:

Amanda Ananda is an International Tantric Facilitator and Domestic Goddess of two outrageous young boys. Amanda has a diverse Tantrica background that allows for a unique, blissful and radiant experience to unfold in her workshops, online courses and sessions. She has studied with The School of Tribal Tantra based on Kashmir Shaivism and Shamanic Ritual, Ipsalu Tantra – Kriya Yoga based on Osho’s dynamic teachings, and Babaji Nagaraj’s esoteric Cobra Breath Technique and Urban Tantra combining modern tantric philosophy with conscious kink. Amanda is a life-long student and immerses herself in the sacred teachings from the Temple of Isis and The Rose Lineage. She is currently diving deep into Somatic Experiencing Trauma Healing and learning to incorporating scientific knowledge about our miraculous nervous systems with the ancient wisdom of Tantra. Amanda encourages everyone to make joyful well-being their first priority and to live blissfully in this intense world by gently taking care of self. Her techniques will help you become fully embodied with simple-yet-profound tools you can apply in your daily life.



Working with Amanda will assist you to clear what blocks you from your true light, guiding you in opening up to the miracle of life, and embracing the bubble of “Ananda” (or, in English, Bliss!) that is constantly accessible to us all. She is tremendously enthusiastic and humbled to share these teachings with the wonderful souls who say ‘HEAVEN’S YES’ to time spent with her.

Margaret James: Yogi, spiritual facilitator, meditation guide, plant medicine alchemist, sound medicine  and holistic nurse.

The modalities for healing, for revealing the divinity within are limitless.

By using sound frequencies the sound bath immerses us to go within. 

Creating safe sacred space for each individual to see their beauty their light their joy the divinity within. 

My gift is to share generously intuitively and authentically all wrapped in nurture. 

Encouraging ourselves to dive deep to the deep inner knowing of intuition or wisdom.  Sound meditation guides us deeper within. Margo intuitively uses the sound bowls and other instruments to facilitate a deep meditation within.
