Lotus Rising: Non-Dual Tantra+ To Dispel Binary Conditioning

In yogic philosophy, the illusion of separation is seen as the ultimate cause of suffering. In our world today, we are personally and collectively suffering the consequences of manufactured divides and othering within ourselves and our cultures as a whole.

In this 8-week series, we'll gather in a community of spirit to learn and practice skills to dispel binary thinking and conditioning.

Dive deep into non-dual Tantrik philosophy and practice, along with related teachings, science, and exercises from other modalities that help to dismantle the constructs of mind that keep us feeling separate.

Find ways to more deeply accept yourself and connect to others whom you perceive as different than you, or who have different worldviews than you do.

We have the power to bridge divides and use the mess we are in to create the more beautiful world that we know is possible. Let's focus together on connection and possibility, so that we may be more effective advocates and agents of love and change.
