Tantra Year Training
Module 3
Level Three Training
Death | Kali | Love
AWAKEN and bring yourself back to your true ground
Presence
Love
Intimacy
Aliveness
In Module 3 we will strengthen our understanding of the teachings, yet at the same time we will let go of gripping to the teachings.
We will establish trust in who we are and will experience a full surrender to all manifestations. We can perpetuate our realisation and come to form as a spontaneous being.
Context of Module 3
In this Level Three Module we will dive deep into the delicate theme of death. The Kali practices take us to presence and absolute love.
Everything is always in transition.
We might have a slumbering feeling somewhere that it is of no use to hold on to our self created narratives. Nevertheless it is quite difficult to let life unfold by itself, to let go of control and to experience life as an unpredictable adventure in constant change.
A big fear we all face is the loss of things and people we like. The biggest fear of all is that of death - of losing our body and personal history.
So we grab hold of our stories in an attempt to keep things in place. We force ourselves into a matrix of judgements of what is right and wrong and strive to behave accordingly.
In itself there is not much wrong with our mental narratives. But if we take them to be absolutely true we tend to become identified and hold onto them. By squeezing ourselves into this format and idea of ourselves, we limit ourselves and miss life as it manifests moment to moment.
It takes a lot of energy to keep our lives in place. When we are stressed and caught up in the mental “trance”, we tend to tense our bodies and suppress our emotions. By doing so we lose touch with our natural lifeforce, our vital energy. Life energy gets frozen. We live on autopilot, feeling numb, drained or cramped.
Why join?
Finding Life in embracing Death
The natural feature of life is that everything births into existence, is present for a while and then dies. Seasons, flowers, days, thoughts, feelings, emotions, human bodies...all follow this natural cycle of Becoming - Being - Dying and Becoming again.
It takes a lot of courage to trust this cycle, but if we can embrace impermanence and acknowledge death as part of existence it will bring us to the present moment. We recognise love, intimacy and aliveness as parts of who we are.
What are we going to do?
In this Module we will explore the natural cycle of Becoming, Being & Dying and the Fear that comes with it.
Our exploration will not be an intellectual one only, we will mainly dive into the theme of Impermanence through embodied experience.
We will practice (silent) sitting, Kali visualizations, darkness, Tandava, movement, breathwork, linking, inquiry and writing.
