Romancing the Spirit: Entering the Heart of Your Sacred Self

Sally Kempton

If you knew your own beauty, you’d be the idol of yourself. -Rumi

What does it really mean to know your own beauty? To be able to live with emotional freedom without denying your human self? According to the tantric masters, the secret is to realize the divine nature of your own energy—all your energies. This meditation retreat, based on the wisdom and practices of the masters of the Spanda lineage of Kasmir, transmits a series of practices and insights for working with sacred energies that can help you reset the frame of your life. In four full days of meditation, yoga, and contemplation, self-inquiry, art, and exploratory voice-dialogue, you’ll be shown how to uncover the sacred energy within your thinking, feeling, and stillness. We’ll explore the energy within silence, and learn how to receive wisdom by tuning into the inner body. You’ll examine your own spiritual journey to discover how you’ve been guided, and what your personal path looks like. The retreat will unfold teachings from two powerful enlightened texts of the tantric tradition, the Spanda Karikas, or Teachings on Divine Pulsation, and the Shiva Sutras. Please bring a yoga mat.
