A gathering of Yogis and Yoginis.
Study with us. Join the mandala.
Through these workshops and retreats, the method is learned in person, in groups of no more than thirteen, alongside others walking the same path.
Although these are profound practices, they are open to anyone who comes sincerely and with an open heart.
The quality and precision of the method make it possible to transmit them fully.
The Alchemy of Awakening
A long masterclass serving as an introduction to the whole path of Vajrayana Inner Alchemy
You are given a simple practice of self-massage, breathwork and movement, held within an extremely profound and liberating View. A practice that awakens the blissfulness of the body, making it healthy and resilient; that lets the emotions be refined and integrated, rather than endured or rejected; and that settles the mind into concentration, peace, and insight.
Apart from giving a taste of the different alchemical procedures, it establishes the correct View of the practice, generally called pure perception.
Vajrayana Tantra, often referred to as the resultant path, is not about achieving a specific state. It is about awakening to the ever-present, blissful, enlightened nature of our reality — a path to enlightenment that does not require going somewhere else. It is about discovering and arriving in the embodied blissful vibration of the present moment.
This is the only workshop that can be held for large groups.
A Lamp Illuminating the Vajrabody
Channels and inner currents — immersion retreat
You are given a practice that opens and conditions the body, making it healthier, stronger and lighter, and that awakens our energetic and subtle dimensions, bridging to a calmer and more peaceful mind.
Through rare and special breathwork combined with movement, you gather the breath until the body is filled and strengthened with vitality, and then move that fullness through secret pathways in the body.
Awakening the innate elasticity of our tissues and energy conduits, we activate them, so that the blood, the breath, and the blissful warm light of our energy currents can flow through them properly.
The whole body is awakened and strengthened, and with it the entire network of channels and chakras. The mind abides in the calm and peacefulness of our timeless nature.
Alchemical Essences - The blissful Nectar Of Clear Joy
Alchemical essences, the Inner Nectar — immersion retreat
You are given a practice that awakens a deep and nourishing pleasure, so the body is flooded with a juicy, nectar-like bliss, emotions are dissolved into joy and peace, and the mind rests in blissful clarity.
In practice, this is the inner yoga procedure of the amrita, through which our sexual energy is fully awakened, and we stimulate the body to produce a strong sensation of juicy and nectary pleasure, the white essence, coming from the root of the palate, spreading through the entire body and mind through the system of channels and chakras.
The Radiant Incandescence of Blazing Bliss
Alchemical essences, the Inner Fire — immersion retreat
You are given a practice that contacts, stabilizes and stimulates our optimal biological warmth, so that the metabolism is regulated and strengthened, and the body heals and grows strong.
Emotions become food for this fire. Nothing is suppressed — the fire digests what arises, draws out what is nourishing, and releases the rest. The mind becomes clear, blissful, and spacious.
The teachings of the fierce lady, tummo in Tibetan. An orgasmic heat wave, the red essence, rise from the abdomen and genitals and spread blissful warmth through the whole body and mind.
The Blissful Certainty of Profound Union
The inner and secret consort — immersion retreat
You are given a practice that brings the inner fire and the inner nectar together as one, so that the body becomes a single field of bliss. The emotions melt into an inner love that needs nothing outside itself, and the mind opens beyond the boundaries of identity.
Here, everything practised so far is joined into the complete sadhana of Vajrayana inner alchemy. We practise with the inner consort, a visualised partner, through the teachings of Jnanamudra. We also practise with the secret consort, meditation on the expanse of space, through the teachings of Mahamudra.
Through them unfolds a transcendental experience: the lovemaking of the inner alchemical marriage. This is an inner yoga procedure that opens body and mind into a state of inner certainty, a love beyond the boundaries of who we take ourselves to be.
From this union comes a stability that no longer depends on circumstance: the blissful certainty of what we truly are.
This retreat is open only to those who have received The Radiant Incandescence of Blazing Bliss and The Clear Nectar of Bliss.
The Blissful Perception of the Enlightened Ones
Couples partner practice — immersion retreat
This workshop is for established, monogamous, heterosexual couples only.
You are given a practice that deeply shifts the perception of self and others, from samsaric identities to identification with our blissful and eternal true nature. This is not done only internally, but in relationship with your partner, through the devotion of one to the other as the embodiment of the divine. The body is awakened into shared bliss, the emotions that attach oneself to the samsaric identity are transformed into love and compassion, and the mind learns to see the beloved, oneself, and the whole world as the enlightened mandala of dakas and dakinis.
Through the imagery and embodiment of deity yoga, particular wisdom archetypes, practiced together with your partner, our divine nature is awakened and worshipped in the body of the couple, through temple dance and the mutual offering of water, incense, perfume, flowers, candles, food, and the pleasantness of the senses. This unfolds through presence, gaze, word, mantra, breath, and massage, so that the couple’s samsaric patterns, projections, and old wounds surface only to be consumed by the wisdom deity, and dissolved into a new way of seeing and embodying reality.
Host an Immersion Retreat
If you wish to bring the Body Mandala method to your own community, you can organize one of these immersion retreats in your own space.
You gather the group, and you arrange the venue. Between four and thirteen participants, so the teaching stays close and personal. Each participant travels and arranges their own way; the venue and its details are yours to organize.
Every immersion retreat is crafted around the group who receives it. Once you reach out, we work in close contact, and the teaching is shaped for the motivation and character of the people gathered, within the framework you see above. This is part of what makes the method so effective.
