Art of Awareness Workshop
Sahajananda
March 7 - 11, 2021
Course Fee: $200 USD (Accommodation extra)
Course Dates: March 8–10
Accommodation Dates: March 7–11
Let the wisdom of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra open you to a more intimate experience of yourself. This fundamental and fascinating Tantric text will teach you how to use everything—from commonplace daily experiences to sublime contemplations—to reveal the Consciousness of Oneness, your fundamental unity with the Self.
With Hridaya founder Sahajananda as your guide, you’ll spend three days exploring an intriguing array of practices that flow naturally from the intuition of the Spiritual Heart and demonstrate the potential for life to blend joyful mystical celebration and silent Self-Inquiry. As you develop a broader understanding of the spiritual path and how you can walk it in countless situations, you’ll begin to blossom in Freedom and Love.
Join us and learn to reveal the beauty inherent in every moment.
Please note that this is a traditional, spiritual course. The techniques shared may appear straightforward but require a thorough metaphysical explanation. Although we’ll devote much time to practice, when joining us, be aware that there are also satsangs (lectures), short video presentations, formal meditations, etc. Being open to this format will help you understand the subtleties of the teachings and experience them in a more profound level.
To support your practice, you’ll receive a printed booklet of the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra.
