ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
Tantra is the science of aligning the human with the divine, and the physical with the subtle. Offering one of the world's most sophisticated practical technologies for enlightening the body, the emotions, and the mind, tantra has had a profound influence on contemporary yogic practice and theory. This workshop will explore the tantric paradigm for enlightenment, both philosophical and experiential.
We'll map the tantric journey as described in key texts such as the Shiva Sutras and Spanda Karikas. We'll work deeply with tantric techniques for awakening, including processes for opening the subtle body; transforming emotional states; and generating shakti, or spiritual energy. The workshop includes sutra practice as well as meditation, contemplative writing, and voice dialogue.
