Anastas Harris Ph.D.
Steven Vogue, D.C., N.D.

 

PROFESSIONAL BIO | POLY BIO | FACULTY BIO | ANASTAS HARRIS, B.A., M.Ed., Ph.D. | STEVEN VOGUE, N.D. D.C.


Anastas Harris and Steven Vogue have been together for 19 years and have been in an open relationship throughout that time.  Initially Anastas spear-headed the open relationship and Steven gladly co-operated.  He then upped the ante and Anastas moved into the stretching game of letting go of fear and jealousy. Our approach has been a gentle one that required the one who was least at ease (usually Anastas) to stretch just a little beyond their comfort level, in order to reach towards the higher poly values of the relationship and support both partners in being as free and self-actualized as possible, and for the other to have patience and compassion.  

This approach has worked for us in creating a trust filled, pain free, happy polyamorous relationship in which jealousy is a thing of the past.  Freedom is an ever expanding dimension of our existence mainly limited by the busyness of our work lives.  We live and work together out of our home.  We have a family of friends and lovers who are scattered mainly throughout California and most of whom we meet every few months for a long weekend love-in at our home or sometimes at some other members homes.  

     We play with others together and separately in a single location.  When parted we have the freedom to be with others.  We only rarely have gone out on separate dates when together  because of our busyness which does not give us enough time to spend with each other.  However, we are at a point where the prospect of this is comfortable to both us. We are looking forward to life slowing down a little and allowing us more time to play with each other and to date and enjoy old and new loves.


Anastas Harris, B.A., M.Ed., Ph.D. has a Bachelor of Arts from Monash University, Melbourne, Australia, a Masters of Education, specializing in Adult Education and Counseling from the University of Toronto, and a Ph.D. in Humanistic Psychology, specializing in Transpersonal Psychology from the University for Humanistic Studies in San Diego, California.  She also has numerous other certificates and qualifications, including advanced hypnotherapy training with Irv Katz, Chris Belletis and James Maynard, an Organization Development internship with University Associates, intensive programs in Gestalt Therapy training with both The Gestalt Therapy Institute of Toronto and Irving and Miriam Polster, and numerous other trainings in personal and professional development.  

 

The most important of these were her experience of Sannyas with Osho whom she has regarded, together with her partner Steven, as her main spiritual guide for about 25 years.  Other important trainings were the slew of Tantra workshops taken from most of the major and many or the minor Tantra teachers of our time, including Margo Anand, Daniel Odier, the Muirs, Bodhi Avinasha, Lori Grace and Robert Fry.

Faculty Bio

Anastas Harris Ph.D.
Steven Vogue, D.C., N.D.

Drs. Steven Vogue and Anastas Harris have been Tantra teachers for 10 years and have had a Tantric, polyamorous relationship for 19 years. They belong to a poly family of beloveds, of about 26 individuals,  who they meet with for an extended weekend approximately every three months, usually at their home. They present workshops on Tantra and Polyamory and do private Tantric coaching with couples and singles. 
 

      Anastas and Steven teach the art of super-conscious, sacred sex, by creating a Tantric relationship with their clients, and, if they are a couple, bring them into Tantric relationship with each other. They teach Tantric skills and awareness, including Ejaculation Mastery, Full Body Orgasm and a sex that is based on creating a union of the sexual and spiritual energies.  Their clients learn the art of running and transmitting life force sexual energy, in the context of the Sacred Heart Space, rather than friction sex.  They assist their clients to overcome their sexual challenges and experience extended bliss in love-making. They are co-authoring a book on female orgasm. 

     Steven and Anastas teach out of their coastal, north San Diego, California home where they have a Tantric bed and breakfast.  Couples who wish to do so can enjoy the Tantric bed and breakfast service while taking a Tantric training. They are well known for their Tantric workshop “The Intimacy Oil Experience” and invite you to be on their mailing list for this and other events.  Anastas is also a psychological therapist and Steven, a chiropractor and naturopath.
