PHILADELIC CONFERENCE

INTRODUCTION TO TANTRA

Historical Origins and Future Possibilities

TBD | $108

For most of us, the word Tantra is something we associate with orgiastic, multi-orgasmic, New Age expressions of unbridled sexuality. But – what if Tantra wasn’t what you thought it was? Tantra’s roots lie in radical and antinomian practices that transgress cultural norms, the aim of which was the expansion of consciousness. Tantra was originally a system of spiritual practice that used desire as a vehicle for psychospiritual and embodied transformation. When we reveal the pattern of intention behind the historical practice, we discover that Tantra is in fact a weaving, an evolutionary practice and consciousness-expanding technology that inhabits and confronts what is with fractal radiance of possibilities of what can be. In this virtual offering, we’ll consider the historical origins of Tantra. From its origins in the cults of the yoginī to the patriarchal birth of kuṇḍalinī, come explore a brief history of Tantric practice. From there, we’ll expand into a vision of what Tantra can be today. Discover how the timeless wisdom of nondual thought can support the transformation of suffering and the awakening of the quintessential self.

Desire dancing in the fire of your essential freedom?
