About The 3-Month Workshop

Most people in the West encounter Buddhism through mindfulness, compassion, and non-attachment. Yet within Tibetan Buddhism lies a far more visionary world of sacred imagery, subtle energies, transformative meditation, and direct encounters with the nature of mind. This workshop is a twelve-week journey into these deeper, lesser-known teachings.

Tantra is often misunderstood as only a sexual practice. In Buddhism, it is a path of transformation. Instead of rejecting the body, emotions, desires, fears, and imagination, Tantra works with them as the raw material of awakening.

Within Tibetan Buddhism, these are regarded as the highest teachings because they bring compassion, emptiness, meditation, symbolism, and subtle energy into one integrated path. Tantra begins where the path usually ends: with the vision of an awakened body, an awakened mind, and a sacred world, then asks us to live our way into that vision.

What You Will Learn

• How Karma, Emptiness, and Buddha Nature shape our experience of ourselves and reality

• How sacred imagery, deities, mandalas, and the subtle body can transform consciousness

• How the deeper meditation traditions point toward a direct recognition of the nature of mind

• How to bring these teachings into accessible meditations for compassion, embodiment, inner guidance, and open awareness

By the end of the workshop, you will have a deeper understanding of Buddhist mysticism, a more embodied meditation practice, and a new relationship with your emotions, imagination, and inner wisdom.

To summarize this practice, here’s a quote by Naropa: “Just as iron is transformed into gold by the process of alchemy, through precious empowerment, afflictions become non-dual wisdom.”

Important Note: This workshop is not a formal initiation into the Tantric tradition. It is simply a spiritual exploration of certain aspects of Buddhist Tantra.
