Tantric Initiation in Tripura Bhairavi

3-Day Workshop on the Divine Power of Purification and Essential Truth

Upcoming Dates:

May 25 -

Longeval,
France

Do You Yearn for Increased Inner Force, Mind Focus, and Purification? Tripura Bhairavi Is Here,
Waiting for You...

Enter the sacred realm of Tantra Yoga, which includes spiritual mysteries, Eastern philosophy, traditional practices, insights, and most of all, Love.

Tantra is a magnificent path of profound energy that brings us closer to the Spiritual Heart. It cultivates and honors our sacred creative power through mantras, pranayama, asanas, mudras, concentration techniques, Tantric rituals, and meditation. At the same time, it includes devotional wonderment and exaltation toward the “Divine Mother,” Shakti, and the “Divine Absolute,” Shiva.

The Supreme Truth is unique, and consciousness is the same everywhere. However, Mahavidya Tantra perceives and expresses it in ten fundamental ways. These are the Dasha Maha Vidyas, the “Ten Great Wisdoms.” Each is a fascinating and gracious guide to the sacredness and peace of the Self.

These Ten Great Wisdoms represent ideal aspects that are awakened, to a certain extent, in everyone. In Tantra, spiritual realization is accompanied by a complete revelation of all ten. The Dasha Maha Vidyas exist in you, and you exist through them.

This Tantric initiation may help you to become more aware of these truths. Join us and dive into one of the key elements of the fundamental Shakti triangle: Tripura Sundari, or “Pure Intention,” Bhuvaneshwari, or “Pure Knowledge,” and Tripura Bhairavi, or “Pure Action.”

Tripura Bhairavi holds the power of purification and concentration. A guide for profound transformation, she represents the most burning aspect of Shakti, which dissolves obstacles and impurities. Her presence helps you to transcend karma. She is also perseverance, the fire of aspiration, the ardour that accompanies the path toward your proposed ideals, and the pathos of all the actions you carry out with your entire soul. By awakening Tripura Bhairavi’s wisdom and practicing Her sadhana or “spiritual practice,” you’ll feel the passion of a life deeply lived and experience a total immersion in the essence of each action.

Feeling inspired? Join senior Hridaya teacher Simona for a Tantric initiation in Tripura Bhairavi, the essence of Pure Action and the guide to necessary transformation.
