INTRO:
60-80 WORDS /2-3 PARAGRAPHS/ Wordcounter.net

Over the last 30 years, I've been helping individuals and couples create positive, enlivening relationships. Relationships that bring out the best in everyone involved. Relationships where growth and acceptance co-exist.
My About Page shares a little bit about me and it's really about you.
The life you imagine. The love you feel.
It's about sustaining the energy to be fully engaged with the world around us without losing contact with what matters most.
It's about rediscovering sex and intimacy, learning things we may have never known about what is actually possible for partners and lovers over the course of a relationship and a lifetime.
It's about discovering the expansive knowledge and science of NeoTantra and dissolving the barriers between us and the life and love we know is possible.

THE ORIGIN:
150 -180 WORDS /2 PARAGRAPHS/ Wordcounter.net
Once I got over the shock of learning I’d be spending the entire weekend in a “yurt” - I was ALL IN.
I’d always felt there was more to sex than meets the proverbial eye. I knew sex was a doorway to an expanded sense of something. I just didn’t know what.
Sex, for me, had been an interesting journey. From early on in my adolescence I had a sense of sex, without actually knowing what it was. All I knew was that some sort of euphoria infused my experience whenever I was fully connected, with whatever was going on, wherever I was.
THE ORIGIN:
150 -180 WORDS /2 PARAGRAPHS/ Wordcounter.net
Now, it’s pretty obvious that this kind of experience wasn’t sexual in the regular sense, it was more.
It was the “chemistry” of true connection.
And so here, at a yoga retreat way up in the mountains above Santa Barbara, I discovered that the MORE was a level-up in terms of connection.
I’d been calling it sex. (Which it was and it wasn’t.) Turns out it was the key to creating positive, enlivening relationships of every kind.
In that moment, I knew living this and sharing it was the whole purpose of my life.


THE CRISIS:
150 -180 WORDS /2 PARAGRAPHS/ Wordcounter.net
Late one night, lying awake in that yurt in the Santa Barbara mountains, I made the decision to dedicate my life to the pursuit of deeper levels of connection. I enrolled in not one, but two, practitioner trainings with those very same world-renowned teachers, right on the spot. I was certified to teach NeoTantra just two years later.
After my certification, I traveled the world, learning from the best of the best, sitting with teachers who taught the traditional, devotional forms of the practice as well as teachers who focused on pleasure and arousal. India, Indonesia, Central America, New Zealand, the UK, and Sweden.
An enthusiastic student, I studied and continue to study, everything there is to know about pleasure, arousal, sexual connection, lovemaking, ecstatic states, conscious communication, relationships, intimacy, sexual energy, meditation, and love.

THE CRISIS:
150 -180 WORDS /2 PARAGRAPHS/ Wordcounter.net
I wrote blogs and published articles about connection - the connection we have with our bodies, with our lovers, with our work, with what is most meaningful to us.
And in all of it, I discovered something simple and beautiful: a way to access connection in all its forms. I created a body of work that makes this level of connection accessible to everyone, step by step.
I received transmissions from some of the most acclaimed Tantric masters of our time, Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati, Aditi Devi Ma, Christopher Tompkins, Margo Anand, Daniel Odier, Bodhi Avinasha, and Osho. I’ve studied Classical Tantra and NeoTantra lineages including Shaktism, Kashmirian Shivaic Tantrism, Vaishnavism, Tantric Buddhism, Tantric Kriya Yoga, and the Vigyan Bhairav Tantra.
I hold a degree in psychology from the University of California, Davis, and have been a headlining teacher at Bhakti Fest and Shakti Fest since their inception. I am the founder of the Chandra Bindu Tantra Institute in Los Angeles and the creator of the Fragrance of the Lotus Year-Long Teacher Certification Program and the host of the Be Fully Alive podcast, with 325+ episodes on NeoTantra, sexuality, relationships, and neuroscience.

I’d love to have a conversation with you.

THE PURSUIT:
150 -180 WORDS /2 PARAGRAPHS/ Wordcounter.net
The conversation about sex and intimacy changes as we move through life, and most of the world isn't engaging in this conversation rationally or honestly.
What's possible in our bodies, our relationships, our capacity for pleasure and connection doesn't diminish with time. It deepens.
That's what thirty years of this work has shown me, again and again.


I’ve been trained to teach Tantra and want to recommend Dawn Cartwright as a wonderful teacher.
Dawn has found a way to demystify the study of Tantra by showing you where to find the Tantric experience already within yourself. Some small feeling is glowing within you, an ember that when you blow on it, expands into a world of wondrous new experiences and sensations.
Give yourself a gift—take a Tantra workshop or session with Dawn and expand your experience of your sexual self. Dawn takes the mystery out of Tantra and makes the magic available to everyone.

I feel I am being born again, that everything prior to this experience is irrelevant.
I feel I am being born again, that everything prior to this experience is irrelevant. All that I have said and all that I have done, all of the suffering of my past—completely irrelevant. What is relevant is my awakening and this movement forward, into union with consciousness and energy.

Thank you, deeply, for creating the space for this chapter of my awakening.
After being celibate and isolated for so many years… I needed to be able to touch and be touched… gaze into another’s eyes… know what kind of touch I want and don’t want… there is no place else that I can imagine, where that could have happened for me. And here I am, ready to go forward and touch and be touched… unafraid… having met that very tender and intimate part of myself and bring it out into the world.

We do want to say thank you for your teachings and your sanctuary of "unlearning."

We feel that Dawn’s address should be somewhere between heaven and earth. Dawn has created magic in our lives that, after 18 years together, continues to deepen.
Emotional and physical intimacy has always been important to us. Our vision in working with Dawn was to expand our horizons with depth, clarity, playfulness, and warmth.
We both have busy lives, yet we realize the importance of this special time together. With Dawn’s guidance, it always seems new and has brought us closer with each year that passes.
Before we first met, Benjamin would go each Sunday for sessions with Dawn. These sessions brought awareness, connection, and personal growth. As a couple, we couldn’t wait to work with Dawn. She has brought so much to our lives.
We treasure Dawn, and couples of any age would benefit in working with her.

A big joyful YES came bubbling up when we first met Dawn. We both felt a strong resonance and level of integrity from her. We, being intrepid adventurers, felt in alignment with her teachings.
Our intention was to learn more about the whole realm of sex and intimacy. We were seeking in-depth knowledge of the practices and ways to make our relationship more intimate. What we received from Dawn was a masterful weaving of both intimacy and sexuality teachings.
Dawn has the rare ability to clearly convey the subject matter and then extend it into actual practices. She has a way of delivering her wisdom with humor and truth. We now have a treasure box full of tools we can use at will to create higher levels of pleasure and sexual intimacy.
What we found throughout our experience was a deepening connection with ourselves and our partnership. Our time together was invaluable. We can’t speak highly enough of Dawn and her work.

We contacted Dawn to improve the quantity and quality of our sex lives. Chris wanted more sex and Nicole wanted better sex. We could not be more grateful for Dawn’s help.
She brings out the best in both of us. She has helped us to see our parts in the interlocking stubbornness in our relationship. We can now live in a connected yummy partnership, enjoying our bodies. She has a unique blend of kindness and intuition and gently directs us to what we need to see in ourselves like an easy flowing stream finds its course.
In the sessions, sometimes we work on the frustrations in our intimate connection and sometimes Dawn helps us learn more about our bodies. She is so comfortable, matter of fact, and caring in her approach that, surprisingly, we never felt awkward.
We wholeheartedly recommend Dawn to all who want to grow and become more sexually connected with their partner.
