    If you want to learn about direct realization Tantra and explore authentic practice, this is the place to be on Thursday nights.

    Each Dharma Cafe is a spontaneous combination of teachings about the philosophy of Tantra with plenty of time to explore real Tantrik practice and begin moving toward more freedom and spontaneity. And of course, tea is always provided. For both beginners and more experienced yoginis and yogis.

    Check the calendar each week as Dharma Cafe will not take place when Shambhavi is out of town or on retreat.

    sixrealmsEMOTIONS AND SELF-REALIZATION
    Two Saturdays: Sept. 20th and Oct. 4th, 10am to 5pm

    • with Shambhavi

    We often experience our emotions as getting in the way of our journey to Self-realization. But direct realization Tantra teaches us to work with the inherent energy and wisdom of our emotions. This is called “bringing emotions onto the path.”

    Saturday, Sept. 20th: Emotions, Energy and Wisdom. Learn about the psycho-energetics of emotions according to direct realization Tantra and specific techniques for transforming painful emotions and releasing the power of their inherent wisdom.

    Saturday, October 4th: The Six Realms. Learn about the six fundamental ways that human beings express emotional fixation and how to get unstuck from long-standing patterns of emotional karmic tension.

    Part I is not a prerequisite for Part II, however, your experience of Part II will be much richer if you take the entire course.

    Pricing:
    Part I, Sept. 20th: $60


    Part II, Oct. 4th: $6o


    Both days: $108


    For students who have already taken a Six Realms course and wish to take both days: $90
