Tribal Tantra is a Month Long training and lifestyle immersion seamlessly integrating the modalities of Tantra and Kashmiri Shaivism, European Shamanism, Ritual Magic, Spiritual Artistry, Quantum Science & Conscious Movement Meditation into one holistic program to transform and empower your life in a practical and lasting way.
This is a journey for those who wish to go beyond the concept of teacher, but are instead called to live their lives as an embodied teaching.
This is a journey of four distinct weeks (detailed below) woven into one life changing month. We will learn the concepts and we ill put them into embodied practice. This is not a theoretical course, but a practical embodied program which intends to challenge you toward full and power filled responsibility for your life, so you may share your gifts from a place of clarity, purpose and ease.
As a participant you will experience the full range of emotions from doubt to inspiration, from tears to laughter, from confusion to clarity, all while being supported and witnessed by a tribe of allies as you remember again and again that you are and always have been whole, complete, worthy. This is the tantra quest. Not to learn, but to remember.
Whether you are called to teach tantra, to integrate tantra into your current offerings or simply to live a tantric life of power and ease, fully integrated into your physical, emotional, energetic and sexual nature, this course is fully immersive in a way which will support you in lasting change, if you are ready to dive in.
We will be held by the magical and breathtakingly beautiful and private Suraya Resort near Ubud in Bali, Indonesia. This secluded location offers the perfect support for this deep and transformational dive.
A path of Yes
If you are feeling any urgency to get on with life from a place of personal mastery, so that you may share your personal gifts and magic in the world, then you are welcome to join us.
The word Tantra is derived from Sanskrit root “tan” meaning to increase, expand or stretch, with tantra meaning to weave, loom or woven together. Thus it can be said to mean we increase as we bring together, we expand as we integrate. Tantra is a path to embodied bliss. It is a path of Yes.Tantra is the only practice which includes everything. Excludes nothing.
Awakening the divine within
Awakening is a direct, embodied experience of the divine within. This is a place beyond the simplicity of belief or the trap of knowing or believing we know. A spontaneous awakening is deeper than our will can conceptualize. This knowing becomes a permanent part of our being, physically, energetically, emotionally and spiritually
The Awakened being is now empowered for they have an experience of their true and higher self. No longer concerned with worthiness, this being will begin to cultivate the power and find the help and support needed to share fulfill their calling(s) and share their gift(s) with the world.
Make no mistake, there is still a long life path of challenges, doubts and pitfalls beyond the first Awakening. Some of us experience many layers and levels of Awakening and some will be called to this journey who have experienced at least one but are feeling stuck and yearn for the next level so to speak. What is certain is once we have Awakened, there is a subtle knowing that while we may experience a moment or more of fear, we also carry with us a gentle certainty from having experienced the truth that we can never separate or disconnect from source. From life force. From creation.
It has been said that the awakened one is they who wield the gentle authority which most invites others to their own awakening. Is one who is generous with their power and gifts, for they no longer doubt who they are. They are the ones who move with ease full grace into leadership. They are those who we are yearning to learn from an be inspired by.
If you are ready to come into your ease of being, unlock and share your gifts in the world, then you are ready to take this first step.
Practical application of Ancient Wisdom
We will take a holisitic approach, so that you not only have the tools necessary to support you, be it in teaching and sharing your tantra with the world or simply integrating this ancient wisdom in a way which supports your life in clear and practical ways.
We will use the tools as we learn them, so that you may: learn how to listen to the subtle wisdom of your physical body and align this to your higher self, integrate your emotional body and it’s intelligence in a healthy way, discover, heal and release old wounds and traumas from this lifetime and those before, build a new relationship with the limiting beliefs, stories and egoic based characters which often derail and slow our progress.
This full integration of physical, emotional and energetic self coupled with understanding of our timeline and egoic survival instinct will best allow you to use the tools you learn to be of clean and clear service to not only your students, but also friends, allies and loves along this life journey.
During this life transforming month we will experience how the practices of Tantric Ceremony and meditations, Breath Work, Yoga, Shaking, Conscious Dance, Shamanic Ritual, and seeing and being seen in a place of embodied, empowered vulnerability will facilitate a return home to our heart center.
From this center we will study the Four “Ways” of Tribal Tantra which invite us to experience the possibility of Awakening by bringing experiences of non-duality into the places where we have learned to create the most separation (duality).
The Four ways/weeks of the Tribal Tantra Training
Week 1) The Tantric Immersion: In tantra we learn to listen to and follow emergent energy. The non-doing. Allowing. It is a feminine energetic path. In week one we reconnect with or higher self. Through study and practice of tantra including the meditations of the Vigyana Bhairava Tantra and the Spanda of Kashmiri Shaivism we open our energetic channel through the chakra system and begin to understand how energy moves and flows in our body. Through surrender, this energy may move freely, connecting us above and below. We also begin to attune to our own current of eros and become our own greatest lover as we remember and begin to feel our multiple bodies and that through them we have fundamentally been connected to the beloved source of all things. That all we have sought has been seeking us. We also connect these esoteric teachings to the modern science which is proving what the tantrics, shamans & mystics have been sharing for millennia.
Week 2) The Shamanic Initiations: The Shamanic way is to move energy between places to support where there is lack. It is a penetrative energy, breaking through the old to create new. It is a masculine energetic path. Once we remember that we are fundamentally and forever connected to the source of all things, we are ready to get on with this physical life without hesitation. This week we dive deep into the elemental world, the world of form and the nature of this body life. We travel along our timeline on a journey from birth to death passing through the initiation gateways necessary to be fully responsible for our life and to access the full scope of our creative sexual energy. Life force from which we can heal, create and inspire the world and our purpose. We die to the small stories which kept us trapped and release those we have held in energetic prisons an thus free ourselves to at last live from free will and original spontaneous thought. Along the way we connect with the elemental world and reclaim the elemental powers in our physical form as the body remembers its true potential in the (re)awakening of its erotic innocence.
Week 3) The Magickal Introduction: The way of Magick is to combine the doing and allowing with presence and awareness as we use energy to shape matter, to affect outcome and consciously shaping it toward our purpose. The magician does not create energy, but consciously co-creates with the energy of the universe. Having remembered our connection to the divine and initiated ourselves into power in this life, it is time to begin to use power consciously to create. In this week we learn how to move energy through rituals such as sex magic where we learn the true power of life force moving through us. This is also the week where we explore the nature of our shadow and unconscious patterning, so that our most feared and shamed aspects can be brought into the light so they too may vibrate from love, keeping the magick we share with the world as a life affirming gift.
Week 4) The Artist’s Inspiration: The way of the artist is to allow energy to share them so purely, that their expression of self is an inspiration allowing others to feel their own selves more. As Spiritual Artists, we go beyond the role of teacher, but instead allows what is inspiring life force to move through us to be seen and felt. When we are moving with this power, we can truly inspire, because that which we share is not tainted by the ego need to be seen or validated. his week we begin to share gifts and be witnessed. We explore what is still in the way which would hinder our path to fulfilling our life’s sacred purpose. We are using all the tools learned to date and being seen and reflected by our community of allies as we step into leadership and are witnessed in the center of the tribe.
4 weeks In brief: Remember your divinity. Bring that awareness forward into this body life and take full power of it. Use your own life force to begin consciously co-creating with the universe. Allow the empowered expression of your life to be an inspiration and guide for others.
