Tantric Peaces: Tantra Workshops - A Fresh Take on Ancient Paths to Inner Peace
June 27, 2017 Helena Krivan
Tantra workshops offered by the Austria-based Institut Namasté appear to produce consistent, though statistically non-significant, positive changes in participants' self-reported peaceability. Survey data showed slim improvements, but in-depth interviews revealed clear growth in interactions and relationships, confidence, insight, inner peace, equanimity, joy, body awareness, sexuality, mindfulness, and spirituality. The study argues for a causal link between the workshops and development of resilience, frustration tolerance, nonviolent communication, self-esteem, compassion, and inner peace, collectively termed peaceability. Participants reported that these benefits extended to their family, friends, colleagues, and even strangers, contributing to societal peaceability.
