Self-mastery Workshop ZEN, TANTRA & THE TAO
Join me in uncovering the keys to self-mastery in this immersive workshop blending ancient wisdom from Tantra, The Tao, and Carl Jung's insights on archetypes and shadow work.
Dive deep into understanding energy fields and how our thoughts and emotions impact our well- being.
Gain insight into how our programming and conditioning shape our lives as we explore this the lens of self-love and the seven chakras, empowering you to reclaim your inner strength.
In this workshop we will explore the shadow aspects of the primal survival strategies we employ to gain safety or acceptance. In order to survive childhood traumas and other family disfunction, and power imbalances in life, we often hide or bury our feelings, and our true nature and identity become obscured. Within this shadow, the unconscious and suppressed aspects of self, lies hidden our true power and joy.
A deep hard look in the mirror is indispensable in our journey towards wholeness. No matter how much positive thinking we employ, our unconscious survival strategies can derail our success in life, love and happiness. We play the victim, we sabotage, buy or sell ourselves out of problems, and remain immature adults. We trade off our self nature to gain safety, to fit in and survive.
Discover ways of turning your stumbling blocks into stepping stones, your life experiences into fertilizer for personal growth, and your search for meaning into a personal practice.
- Self love & the 7 chakras
Understand how we lose personal power in each of our energetic centres through traumas, agreements and contracts, and learn how to regain, reclaim & call back your power using the power of the coherent heart.
- Tantra & the Tao
Tibetan tantra & Taoist philosophy and practices for vitality and well-being. The circulation of heaven and earth chi in your own body-mind is a pre-requisite for dual cultivation with a partner.
- Zen & non duality
Beyond method and practice.
Simplicity and ease – the non-arising of concurrent causes.
Cathartic Breathwork
Based on the Holotropic Breathwork practice that was pioneered by Stanislav and Christina Grof to replicate the therapeutic work they were doing with LSD.
The method comprises of intensified breathing, evocative music and focused body work. The general effect is advocated as a non-specific amplification of a person's psychic process, which facilitates the psyche's natural capacity for healing. The goal is to allow access to non-ordinary states for the purpose of self-exploration.
