This talk will be held in Watkins bookstore in London, UK at 6:30 pm on Thursday April 20th, 2017. Through their living, vibrant teachings Doug and Catherine bring to life understandings from the ancient way of Tantra. Although often seen as esoteric and mystical, Tantra involves a practical engagement with all of our senses, in the life we are living. Photo: aka Tman In attempting to allay our fears and control the world around us, we have our ways of manipulating, managing or disengaging from situations in order to cope.  These are often unconscious ways (our shadow), by which we keep relationships and the external world at arm’s length in order to protect our vulnerable heart Tantra is a method where, rather than denying our wants and needs, we explore our relationship to them. In the process, we navigate a path through our struggles and difficulties, our traumas and traumata. In this talk, which precedes the UK Retreat at Maitreya House, these two meditation masters and lineage holders will show us how this dance of transformation leads us into a clearer, more compassionate, more empowered and loving state.
