  Near Enemies to the Truth: What are ‘near enemies to the truth’?  They are slightly distorted versions of spiritual teachings—statements that are close to a profound and subtle truth, but are distorted just enough to make a big difference over time, such as “you create your own reality,” or “everything happens for a reason.”  In this workshop, we will go deep into the teachings that have become distorted into cliches and bumper-sticker slogans.
• Saturday, 7/20 | 2-5pm | $65 | Register
  A Wellspring of Power: The Practice of Yoga in the Tantric Mode: Empower your practice of Yoga by exploring what practice in a Tantric mode means, and why it accelerates the effectiveness of yoga on all levels.
• Sunday, 7/21 | 2-5pm | $65 | Register
  Why Chakras, Nādīs and Bindus Matter in your Practice: This workshop will seek to set the record straight, explaining clearly the traditional teachings on the yogic subtle body, also known as the energy body. A Tantrik scholar is the ideal person to teach on this topic, since the systemization of the subtle body and the mapping of the chakras originated within Tantrik Yoga.
