We explore Self Love, self acceptance, and compassion as the foundations of any true transformation, learning how to be with the processes that unfold within us and not needing to fight, wrestle, struggle to be better, different, or change anything at all about ourselves or the situation. Paradoxically, this is the foundation for both ourselves and the situation to change radically and rapidly.

Digging deeper into the Hridaya Yoga teachings we address Self Inquiry and its power to help us understand how, and from where, we relate to the world around us. This powerful tool can help us penetrate through the thick layers of self delusion, to the very core of the experience of being ourselves. Only from this ground can we truly be of service to this world.

The body is the vehicle that we use to navigate this world. It is also much more than this. In Tantra, the body is the sacred ground of the teaching, the path of the practice and the result, the fruition, the realization itself. Now more than ever it seems this world calls for wisdom embodied, for the full force of the nectar of the revelation of the Self to flow through our gestures and be expressed for the benefit of all.

This week we unpack the mystery of Dharma. What is inner purpose? and what is outer purpose? Which of the two is more important? and does one negate the other? 

We learn to live fully, purposefully in this world, contributing to the life that unfolds through us and around us, offering out deepest gift to this world, through our way of being. We learn to let go of what the minds wants, expects of thinks is the right way to be and to allow the heart to blossom naturally in every moment.

What does it truly mean to trust in life, rather than naively hope for our desired outcome to bare fruit? What does it mean to Surrender in the face of difficulties and not just suppress and avoid the pain or fear that may come?

Life can be an offering, our actions can become our sacrifice, that sacrifice can sever attachments and propel us forward. If misunderstood it can create so much confusion.

Relationships can be one of the most beautiful ways to honor and explore the richness of life. They can be the most engaging and rapid path of growth and transformation. They can be the most difficult and painful area of life. 

What makes a truly loving relationship? and how can a relationship serve this world? How does a relationship become a core part of our spiritual journey?

No course on a fully integrated spiritual life would be complete if it didn't address the elephant in the room. Sexuality can be so profoundly beautiful, and so profoundly confusing, and sometimes both at the same time.  How does the essence of our being, the Heart, express itself through these bodies? How can we make use of and play with AND become free from these polar energies of the masculine and the feminine? 

We explore the potential for sacredness and depth in lovemaking and the incredibly transformative power of sexual energy, fantasy and more.
