The Spirituality of Sex and the Sexiness of Spirituality
Jonathan Writes:
At 75, I have practiced Zen meditation for half a century. As wonderful and impactful as sitting-based “presence” has been, and I have experienced Zen satori multiple times, Tantra practices and MDMA have taken me beyond that, to enrich my breadth of presence, embodiment, and love. Nothing is as wildly fulfilling for me as becoming one during lovemaking with a beloved partner. When people divide sexuality from spirituality, I scratch my head. The two can be indivisible, an I-Thou, non-dual sexperience.
MDMA has been a worthy teacher, guiding me to the deepest levels of my heart. To unvoiced and often unconscious truths. The people I have coached on it have described the same.
Simultaneously, Tantra work has helped me further enjoy full-bodied, juicy oneness far beyond sex. To a love affair with everyday life, with everyone and everything - friends, family, strangers, trees, bees, the world. The combined paths of meditation, tantra, and MDMA, have helped create for me an unbelievable, wonderfully rich life.

What People Say
“Jonathan and Alexandra worked together beautifully. I felt safely held throughout the whole journey, from the discovery call through to the session itself, and finally the integration call. Their combined wisdom and experience was evident throughout, and made it easy for my partner and I to open up and deeply connect with each other. The session was invaluable in helping us on our journey of healing. I have been left feeling excited and optimistic about the future. Thank you so much!
-Tatiana, England"
"My fiancée and I had a most wonderful journey with Jonathan and Alexandra, who guided us through a profound, medicine-assisted journey that wove together tantric embodied practices, deep emotional exploration, and an attitude of presence and connection. Their grounded spirit and attentive care enabled us to fully land in our bodies, cultivating a heart-to-heart connection where we could genuinely feel into ourselves and each other. Through their intuitive and compassionate guidance, we were able to engage with vulnerable inner parts - the abused, abandoned and wounded little girl and boy, the rebellious and mistrusting parts, the dissociations - within a framework of safety and trust. We were led in channelling each other’s energy with awareness, helping us to face fears and surrender to the unfolding process, knowing and feeling we were held and protected. The journey expanded beyond the exploration of love and intimacy into a deepened commitment to the principles of compassionate care, mutual consideration, and tender devotion. Jonathan and Alexandra’s presence was so loving and attuned throughout this journey, making it psychologically rich, philosophical and practical, offering a wise and caring space where our challenges were met with kindness and non-judgemental inquiry, allowing us to transcend old barriers and nurture our shared path of growth and authentic connection. Thank you both, what a wonderful gift.
“Alexandra’s sessions are incredibly powerful. She activated a deep part of me that had been dormant for so long, a part that was waiting to erupt and emerge!With every session I feel more alive! How blessed!”- Bella“Our retreat with Jonathan changed the whole trajectory of our relationship in the most wonderful direction. From helping us bring down the walls between us, to discovering much greater and deeper intimacy, which we've sustained."-W. Cole
