Living Tantra: Heart-opening - expand your capacity for love
Welcome to another journey of the Living Tantra series.
Living Tantra is a workshop series created for those who wish to deepen their exploration of Tantra. Inspired by ancient Tantric philosophy, each gathering takes us into a new theme through embodiment, meditation, energy practices and more.
💓This time, we’ll explore the opening of the Heart as the main practice of modern and classical Tantra.
The heart is the core of your being. It is through the heart that you connect with yourself, others and divinity. When your heart is open, you invite in spirit, love and the experience of oneness. When it is closed, you’ll experience disconnection and separation. Tantra teaches you to notice the subtle shifts between an open and a closed heart - inviting you to bring in presence, breath and compassion to the moments when you shut down, so you can gently open again.
An open heart does not make you vulnerable but rather holds the alchemy to transform suffering into love - your own, and that of those around us.
Come explore the practice of heart opening. Experience the power it holds and tap into the universal heart!
In this edition of Living Tantra, you will be invited to:
🔸Explore the practice of heart-opening
🔸Experience the power of an open-heart
🔸Discover how heart-opening is at the core of spiritual practice
