Tantra Teacher Training
200 hrs course
10th Oct - 6th Nov 2022
4th March - 31st March 2023
“Tantra is not technique but prayer. Is not head oriented but a relaxation into the heart.”
Spread over four intensive weeks, this training will take you on the journey of profound self-transformation.
This course is designed in a way to provide you with the knowledge and practice needed to go deeper within as well as be able to hold space for others.
Our TTC is experience based, we believe tantra is to embodied by the teacher and sharing should happen from their own experience.
What is Tantra?
‘Tantra’: a most controversial word, which has been described in many ways.
Tantra is beyond any description. It is a metaphor, can’t be grasped by the mundane mind. It s a way of being, hidden in the daily life.
It is called ‘Tantra’ because it elaborates ‘Tan’: copious and profound matters, especially relating to the principles of reality: ‘Tattva’. It provides liberation: ‘Tra’. The sage Patanjali defined it as ‘Savtantra’. ’Sav means ‘Self’ and ‘Tantra’ means ‘Liberation’: One who is realised in the ‘Self’, Liberated.
For Who?
This course is for anyone who wishes to dive deeper within, to help heal themselves and others. It is for the one who is open to the path of tantra and is willing to explore the unknown dimensions of existence and would love to live in harmony.
