Explore the essential perspectives that form the basis of the Tantric path, alongside foundational practices designed to cultivate clarity, awareness and a deeper relationship with body, breath, mind and consciousness.

Rather than treating Tantra as a philosophy to be studied intellectually, we approach it as a living tradition in which view and practice support one another. The teachings provide a framework for understanding the practices, while the practices allow that understanding to become experiential.

You will be introduced to key Tantric principles and practices that establish a solid foundation for further exploration of the tradition, while developing the qualities of attention, presence and inner stability required for deeper practice.

This is not a course in modern or neo-Tantra. It is an opportunity to encounter Tantra as a contemplative spiritual tradition, through its teachings, practices and transformative view of consciousness.

No previous experience with Tantra is required.
