Instead of your mind searching for, or another mind intellectually answering the beautiful, perennial question “so what then is Tantra?”, this practical session is an opportunity to support bottom-up listening , i.e body-to-mind listening. To gift your body the opportunity to have an experience, and reveal insights, sensations, feelings, messages, or information to you.

 This is an embodied experience during which you will be guided into breath & somatic practices from the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra (VBT), which is probably one of the most well-known & widely referenced “Tantras”  of the Tantrik corpus.

Practically, we explore tracking the capacity of the body to engage with breath, sound, movement, and placement of touch to shift greater degrees of awareness into the present moment. 

 There is no prior knowledge you need, or to invest in a belief system. In groups that I have shared this journey with, both complete beginners and those with experience have reflected powerful journeys, expanded awareness & shifts in emotional states.  

I share some of the history & context surrounding the development of the VBT in the Indian-sub continent. The VBT is one of the few tantras with a continuous tradition of study down to present times on the Indian subcontinent. Originally written in Sanskrit, probably around the 8th or 9th century, the VBT at last count has over 20 different versions of translations in English. More commonly known are the poetic translations in English. For example – The Radiance Sutras. 

This session is an opportunity to explore the embodiment practices that are less commonly known or shared. 

Please have space around you to stand-up, move, sit & lie down. Please have a pen & paper around to journal. (Optional) – Blanket & candle/ritual object.
