Living Tantra: Course in Calgary
November 3, 2016 - November 13, 2016
Living Tantra: Ten Days of Urban Study & Practice: Rediscover Passion in Your Daily Life
Tantra…its not just about sex. Join meditation & Tantra Master Doug Duncan Sensei for ten days of group classes, tantra meditation practice & experiential learning in Calgary.
Explore what you have always wanted to know but were afraid to ask about the tantric experience. Through tantra, known as the diamond vehicle of Buddhist philosophy, we can discover levels of untapped energy, greater interconnection with others and come to know first hand our part in the great weaving of life.
How does the ten days of urban study and practice work?
The ten days will cover a mixture of group classes on Thursday evenings, Saturday mornings and Sunday mornings. There will be a Tantric initiation into the practice of compassion (Chenrezi) on Sunday November 6th. Throughout the series Doug Sensei will give you exercises, contemplations and meditation guidance to take home with you, deepening your experience. There will also be a 5Rhythms Tantra themed movement class on November 8th at 7pm co-hosted with Evangelos Diavolitsis / Meditation Moves.
