The Bliss-Void-Indivisible Time Machine: 2021 Vajra Yoga Advanced Intensive
September 06 - September 16, 2021
Robert A.F. Thurman
Michele Loew
Menla Retreat & Dewa Spa | Catskills Forest, New York or Zoomed to you anywhere!In this ten-day intensive, we will explore the coordination of Unexcelled Yoga Tantra's Creation and Perfection Stages, Dzogchen, and Mahamudra Yogas, as all the many doors to the heart of the Buddha, sealed within and so accessible through all his exoteric teachings as well, in the interconnected context of individual self-transformation and planetary transformation.Elucidated within the context of the Three Vehicles, this advanced training by Robert Thurman on the Kālachakra Tantra will be given to students who have received the Kālachakra empowerment (or an approved equivalent of another Anuttara yoga) and who have either completed the Vajra Yoga 300 hr course or are currently enrolled in the 300 hr course (or an approved equivalent). Mornings from dawn to noon will be devoted to Hatha and Chakra Yogas, and afternoons and early evenings to Raja Yogas of the mind, Mantra Yogas, and Vajra Yogas of the subtle and super subtle body-minds.All applicants are recommended to receive the online Kālachakra Initiation from the eminent Lama, Khentrul Rinpoche, given online from Australia this July 23-25 via khentrulrinpoche.com. This can be received as a practitioner to empower one's Kālachakra yoga practice or could be received more lightly as a powerful blessing by one who is not yet certain about which advanced path of practice may be best for them. In either case the study and learning can be beneficially applied to all tantric spiritual practices.The Bliss-Void Time Machine Intensive can also be accessed online without making the journey to Menla's magic valley. The zoom recordings will be made available for use by practitioners in other time zones.Tuition: $750 (for either online or in-person course)In-Person accommodations at Menla priced and sold separately. Register ASAP as space is limited and rooms sell out quickly!Tuition includes an online platform that will include all course materials, live-streaming links, replays and study guides.WHAT TO EXPECT:
