Fully inclusive - NO HIDDEN EXTRAS - with delightful overnight accommodation - all food - hot and cold refreshments - even wine with dinner and the full workshop training

Do you wish to explore sexuality on a deeper level within a safe and friendly venue filled with other gay/bisexual men such as yourself.

Would you like to learn from one of the UK's most experienced Intuitive Tantra Masters who teaches naturally naked and where everyone gets to work 'hands on' with each other ?

Regardless of age, physical size and abilities, single or couple or anything - you will be very welcome.

offering more residential weekend workshops than anyone else

 One of the hardest challenges for many men  is to be able to go beyond the programming and social conditioning that we have around  sexuality.  There are many books on tantra and sexuality to be found but there is nothing like learning it first hand - experientially - from someone who has been involved with the sexuality of tens of thousands of men  and has learned many of the hidden sexual 'pleasure spots' intuitively.  With X rated conversations - your facilitator will talk openly and honestly about any sexual act and the Tantric / spiritual connection and how this is achievable to those seekers of inner truth through their sexuality. When you learn that sex is just another subject to be shared and not feel embarrassed or intimidated with;- and when you learn to relax and 'lighten up' - your emotions and thoughts surrounding this deep rooted subject - the door way to inner pleasure opens and life can truly take on a new meaning.

This weekend include 2 nights B&B to be added either at the beginning,

at the end, or a night at each end

No-one else has the power
No-one else has the experience
No-one else understands sexuality in quite the same manner
and no-one else has the abilities to teach, from first-hand experience,  the way you are taught this weekend and no-one else works within an exclusive and residential gay environment.

Sexual healing and growth can then follow, and as John says -

'humour is the best healer, - and I always work with laughter '
 

Despite what many will claim, you DO NOT need to attend a workshop that is hosted by therapists .  You have all the answers within you and we encourage your own inner healing through your own inner voice.  Please do not be impressed by qualifications and certificates that say little when it is EXPERIENCE that counts. Experience of what is being taught.  Experience of life and the ability to share through laughter in order to learn and grow together - not through therapy - but through positive input.

We do not offer therapy at Hamilton Hall, but many find it therapeutic

BOOK NOW

We wish to inspire and guide gay and bisexual men to find self fulfillment through sexual, emotional, physical and spiritual enlightenment. The teachings we share are based on personal experience that were learned over many years of practice and which are well written about in many TANTRA books by many great writers, even though our teachings are based - as we say - purely on intuition and experience. This encourages the integration of all aspects of our life which includes sexuality as part of a spiritual journey. Tantra teaches that our fundamental nature, the core of who we are, is pure, perfect, and divine, and we endeavor to share a greater awareness of the true divine Self, to connect with the Self and to be aware in the 'now moment' exactly how divine we truly are.

Hamilton Hall recognizes the special needs and unique advantages of those who have developed a gay identity. Many of our gay / bisexual customers tell us that they were raised in a culture that views gay love as unnatural and immoral and these false notions about sexuality and lifestyle often get internalized, leading to feelings of shame, unworthiness and loneliness. Most traditional religions add to the spiritual isolation of gay men by promoting these notions, which these days cause many to reject traditional religions, throwing themselves into work, sex, drug and rock'n'roll - ( so to speak ) and this does not help sort the 'problem' - it just masks it in busy busy busyness. Hamilton Hall can help gay and bisexual men develop a well-integrated identity that can be a positive asset in their spiritual and every-day life. When you learn some alternative truths - some different ways of seeing things, then life can change dramatically for the better.

Tantra is widely misunderstood in the west and we prefer to use the expression 'Ecstatic Awareness'. Many are put off the teachings of Tantra as it comes with all sorts of Hindu and eastern philosophies that can confuse a western mind.

Everyone knows how to watch a television, you switch it on and flit from channel to channel. But what makes it work ? How does the remote control do its thing ? Where does the signal come from and how ? Confused ?
Well don't be, you see, everyone can watch TV while very few actually understand how it works... and what's more... you don't need to in order to enjoy the programmes.
Same goes for Tantra, or at least, what is commonly called Tantra.

You do not need to get bogged down in an eastern culture and belief system. You do not need to learn a load of Sanskrit words and other complicated things foreign to you, in order to enjoy the practice of what TANTRA achieves. You do not need a teacher spouting long foreign words at you and you don't need them to put themselves on a pedestal. Tantra is NOT restricted to those who study Hindi or any other philosophy and anyone - from any culture - following any religious belief - or none at all, can connect with the energies we use - and which are actually universal energies - and enjoy their life giving qualities and a true connection to something - BIGGER, from within.

In this case, by harnessing and expanding the energies and boundaries of your conventional sexuality, one can learn to harness the Divine Energy, glimpsed only briefly by most, and use this as an avenue to the God within.
You see: in many ancient beliefs and faiths, sexuality was seen as the ultimate sacred act - the most holy sacrament., a time of holy worship and was often facilitated in the temple where ordinary men and women would join in an orgy ( holy celebration ) of sexual freedom in order to experience the God Within, as the sexual energies raised are the strongest and most powerful energies we have within us in order to connect and open the Third Eye and touch on the spirit of Divinity that lays within us all.

( take a breath...)

Of course we are also aware that sexuality may not be your journey, as meditation may also not be for you, and that your journey may be through some other medium altogether. Sexuality and spirituality do not always marry comfortably with some people who are - maybe - still stuck in the viewpoint that sex is dirty and wrong... and so another avenue to their God within will be searched and - hopefully - found. There are many different ways of watching the TV and many different channels available... just as there are many different journeys into the Self - and if this workshop turns out not to have been 'your thing' then at least you will be wiser about what is and what is not - for you.

Some Tantra Schools have claimed that what we offer is not true Tantra - based in Hindu traditions, and I am proud to say, I agree, it is not. I have learned everything I know through experience and never - ever - through reading a book or attending a class on the subject. I do not teach what someone else has taught me and I have not followed another in awe to get to where I am today. I have been open to channel since I was a small boy of just 8 years of age and have always had that 'knowing' and while other schools teach from ancient techniques that have worked for many over the centuries and usually always from an eastern outlook filled with structures and symbols and organized rituals,  I find that this simply does not work for many in the west who have doubts, questions and a refusal to get involved with yet another belief structure that - to many - as their own western belief structure has not helped, then why should another ? Especially one based in a completely alien culture.

Attitudes towards sexuality have changed in the last 50 years and the hippy period of the 1960's saw a HUGE change in the way people generally viewed sexuality. But there is STILL too much clap trap associated with sex... too much guilt, fear, doubts and worries, and to this, our teachings and the way I facilitate them, are aimed at lightening the load and helping to bring you into an awareness that much of what you have been told ... much of what society believes, and much of what is believed to be 'straight - gay or otherwise'- is wrong.

Sex is not dirty. Sex is not the original sin.
Sex is not X rated and sex is not only for procreation.
and sex between men is God given and right.

As gay and bisexual men, we also have a great deal of religious intolerance surrounding our lifestyle and the sooner we learn what an evil deed the church perpetrates in these matters, the sooner we can get on with living our lives - freely - sexually and in peace with ourselves and whatever God we may choose, or not, to believe in.

Since ancient times, sexuality was always seen as a holy act. These weekends introduce you to many aspects of that, and the physical, - and the spiritual,- and the emotional- and the - well - come and find out for yourself...

I look forward to welcoming you to Hamilton Hall and to what may be a life changing experience.

In Peace.

John Bellamy

If for any reason you decide the workshop you are attending is not what you thought, we ask that you either join in the workshop - as we have planned and as we facilitate it, and we welcome you accordingly, or you have the choice to leave. We cater to those who wish to be a part of what we are offering. We appreciate that some parts of a workshop may be too much for some people and with advance notice, they can sit one section out, but only one section. If more than one section is missed, we may ask you to leave the workshop and you are welcome to remain, peacefully, within Hamilton Hall until the end of the weekend. You cannot pick and choose what parts of the workshop you wish or wish not, to partake in.
These weekend workshops are well planned and facilitated and rely strongly on the group dynamic.

Hamilton Hall holds certain responsibilities for the safe running of the venue and its workshop periods as well as for those attending our workshops. We cater to the group as a whole and for the individual, but cannot have individual behavior causing the group concern.
Hamilton Hall will discretely ask disrespectful and disruptive people to please change their behavior and/or attitude in order to help facilitate the group as a whole, and if this is not forthcoming, we have the legal right to ask anyone disrupting the group as a whole, to leave the venue.
No refunds are available if this is the case.

Phone calls between 10am - 8pm please

The dynamic of these weekends is reliant on those attending
and any aura created is down to you.

So that everyone can benefit from these trainings, we ask that everyone 'give it their best' and respect others who are attending. As with anything in life, there are no magic answers and no immediate solutions and the only way to 'get' what this workshop is about, is through personal exploration at home once you have taken the workshop. It may happen for you right at the start,- or it may take practice to perfect, or it may never happen for you. We are all different and maybe - just maybe - sexuality is not to be your spiritual frontier - maybe your journey is different, or maybe the earth will move for you the first time and your head will be in the stars... ( and I don't mean Redford, Pitt or Streisand... )

Only through personal exploration can you learn what is - and what is not - for you.
