Tantra: Freedom, Embodiment, and Transformation

Have you ever dived into the ocean of Tantra? Have you experienced the weaving of the world?

Join scholar-practitioners Sravana Borkataky-Varma and Keith Edward Cantú as we explore Tantric practices and perspectives on topics like freedom from external interference and self-sovereignty (Sanskrit svādhikāra), the link between physical and so-called “subtle bodies,” and the creation of physical mandalas (maṇḍala) or circles and other shapes that potentially can transform our internal and external environments.

Dare to engage the latest research and ethnographic “participant observation,” and to challenge and reframe your conventional understanding of what Tantra was, is, and can be. Immerse yourself with authentic South Asian folk musical performances, songs, and guided meditations for a creative, visceral experience for the mind, body, and heart. Allow our collective and individual practices to illuminate Tantra’s connections, by means of a wide variety of vibrant artistic and meditative practices and in an eye-opening and unforgettable way.

We invite both couples and individuals to join us in this workshop that blends meditation, art, and music with a holistic inquiry into Tantra’s power and therapeutic potential to unlock a happier and more fulfilling life. Bring an open mind as we explore deep questions about our bodies and minds in a safe space and nurturing environment.
