Tantra is a spiritual path which suggests to live consciously and learn from everything life has to offer. Tantric adept does not deny or ignore any aspects of life – he aims to become fully conscious in all actions. This course will help you to find spiritual meaning and lessons in every aspect of life, so that life itself becomes your greatest teacher.
Tantra is known as a path of living detached yet fully engaged with the world, and is suited for those who aim to use every life situation as an opportunity for growth.
Unlike other spiritual paths which deny or renounce worldly desires & eroticism, Tantra encourages that all of life’s experiences should be lived fully, consciously, and courageously. Through the power of awareness, every situation and challenge becomes an opportunity for transformation. And you are capable of transforming any part of life that you choose.
In this course, we approach Tantra as both a genuine spiritual path and one of the most efficient systems for transformation and personal development.
“Nobody can reach perfection using boring and difficult techniques. Perfection can easily be achieved through the completely controlled and aware satisfaction of our desires.”
You will learn tools and methods that can transform every area of your life with proper and persevering practice. You don’t even have to believe it at first, if you try, you will see for yourself!
This course explores spiritual principles in an academic way, even linking these to the latest discoveries of modern biology, psychology, and physics (mechanics, electro-magnetics, and quantum physics).
Why ‘Esoteric’?
The word ‘esoteric’ comes from the Greek esoterikos, meaning ‘within’. Esotericism underlines the discovery of the inner reality and the contemplation of the true nature of the Self. While this course places an emphasis on living in the intensity of life, the work is done on the inside, and the experience of life becomes a means to know oneself better.
The esoteric path points to the connection between everything that exists and to a direct and experiential way of knowing, while avoiding dogmatic or discursive explanations.
