Heart 100h

“The ultimate Consciousness is always present everywhere. It is beyond space and time,with not before or after. It is undeniable and obvious. So what can be said about it?” -Abhinavagupta

HEART is all about the direct realization traditions and the natural, unconditioned state of aliveness that, though inconceivable, can be directly known and lived from. The module is a deep dive into the life-affirming tantrik view and methods, along with somatics that awakens the felt-sense of the teachings for yourself and your students. It is an invitation into a more intimate relationship with existence, and to the powerful enlightened potential at the heart of your own being. It is a portal to the path that offers a solution to the non-existent problem that is living, through engagement, creative imagination and alchemy.

 Each day will explore one of the many facets of the tradition and the tantrik/non-dual disposition, through satsang, sadhana, selected sutras from some of the scriptures, somatics, and more. And you will walk away with a toolbox of engaging practices (such as mantra-s, energy body practices, visualizations, and somatizations) and liberating perspectives to bring home to your own personal sadhana, as well as to your community.

With her deep love for Kashmir Shaivism and it's non-dualistic worldview, she also often weaves philosophy and tantric practices into her teaching, in an easily accessible manner.
