A four part workshop with 

Swami Muktibodhananda Saraswati

conducted online September - November 2021


Each session includes a lecture and practices

which are followed by a discussion.


Tantra is a vast body of literature, practices, traditions that pertain  to the expansion of consciousness and  liberation of energy. The subject is considered esoteric and may often be misunderstood. In reality, historically Tantra  has informed many aspects of yoga and spiritual practices. It takes into account  the whole person, with all his/her worldly aspirations. Our day to day experiences and emotions are given due regard as we carry these into our practices (meditation or subtle practices) and likewise we bring the experience and emotions of our practice into our day to day life. Tantra addresses this continuum and  the manner in which we may manage through the challenges of ego and emotion. 

In this workshop Swami Muktibodhananda brings her decades of experience to elucidate the theory, traditions, and certain potent practices of Tantra with a view to furthering one's personal growth, enabling the mind to focus, and bringing balance in life.
