KASHMIRIAN TANTRA AND TANDAVA with Daniel Odier and Parvathi Nanda Nath

Discover your innate capacity for freedom as you allow the uni-verse to dance through you. Leading tantric scholar Daniel Odier teaches the sacred practice of Kashmiri tantra, an ancient form of yoga that has all but disappeared. Called tandava, it is a very slow, mystical dance that leads to the perception of the cosmic body, or at-tunement to the infinite. It is a three-part practice that unites sitting meditation with movement.

In Stage One, you learn to meditate by allowing the body to be present in space, using gentle, free, and non-directed movements. These movements are connected to abdominal breathing and follow the pattern of infinity. In Stage Two, you allow the arms to discover the spherical space surround-ing the body, which also participates fully and fluidly. Stage Three is the sacred dance of Shiva, or tandava. It is a dance with spontaneous and extremely slow movements that gradu-ally eliminate any sense of volition or muscular tension.

Author of Tantric Quest and Desire: The Tantric Path to Awakening, Daniel teaches tandava in accordance with the transmission he received from the yogi Lalita Devi. This workshop intensive will be dedicated primarily to practice, with ample time for questions and answers. Certain visualiza-tions are added to complement the spatial awareness experi-enced through the dance of Shiva.

This workshop is non-residential, see last page for accommodation recommendations.
