~Introduction to Tantra ~
Saturday Feb 14 - Sunday Feb 15
with Kadam Morten Clausen
Buddha’s Tantric teachings are his highest and most profound teachings, often described as the quick path to enlightenment. But what is Tantra? What distinguishes Tantric practice? And how can this practice improve our lives while empowering our spiritual training?
In this weekend course, through talks and guided meditations, Kadam Morten will introduce the essential points of this immensely joyful, insightful, and creative approach to life. He will also show how we can begin to apply this wisdom in our own lives, right here and now.
This course will also be perfect for those considering taking the Highest Yoga Tantra empowerments at the NKT International Summer Festival, taking place July 31 - August 8.
Please note!
Kadam Morten will be teaching a special
Love, Desire & Relationships Valentine talk
