Month 2: Spanda: Consciousness as Pulsation: The Ecstastic Pulsation of Reality
Life throbs, pulses, vibrates. We see this in the beat of our heart, in the waves upon the shore, in the the harp string plucked by the musician’s hands. Just as our world pulsates, the Tantric tradition says so too does the Supreme Consciousness itself. As we attune and embody consciously to the pulsation of life, we attune ourselves to the vast cosmic intelligence, the divine itself.
Date to TBD
Month 3: Soma: Consciousness as Wholeness: The Nectar of Wholeness
The practice of yoga is to rediscover, to remember that we are whole, full, and lacking nothing. In the depth of practice, consciousness heals, restores, and reveals the deepest knowing and experience of this. We become embodiments of the fullness of our being.
