Tasting the essence of Tantra seminar Module 6

7 April 9 April

Rob Preece

Rob Preece has studied Tibetan Buddhism for many decades under the guidance of great teachers and holds a degree in psychology. During this time he has written four ground-breaking books on the meaningful chemistry between Jungian psychology and Tibetan (tantric) Buddhism: The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra, The Courage to Feel, The Wisdom of Imperfection and Preparing for Tantra. Rob’s style of teaching is oriented towards opening a dialogue around the material that is being explored. This is to maintain a spirit of exploration and creativity in the way tantra is integrated into Western experience, rather than holding to rigid prescriptions of practice.

Working with the Shadow – Tasting the Essence of Tantra 6

During this retreat we will begin to look at the transformation and purification of the shadow. We will go deeper into ways of working with the energy of our emotions and psychological patterns, looking at their purification and transformation through symbolic ritual. We will explore the relationship between peaceful and wrathful deities, introducing the principle of transformation used in higher tantra practice. At this retreat we will introduce the fire practice of the spiritual archetype (deity) Dorjekhadro and also introduce the practice of Vajrapani.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn to recognize aspects of our nature that need to heal and transform
• Learn ways to purify and transform emotional and psychological patterns
• Deepen understanding of the archetypal nature of deities in the transformation process
• Understand the meaning of the alchemical vessel in the process of transformation
• Learn to work with channels of transformation in life
• Learn the fire ritual practice of the spiritual archetype (deity) Dorjekhadro, as a means of purification
• Develop a relationship to the spiritual archetype (deity) Vajrapani

Message for the practitioners of Tibetan meditation & yoga @ KenKon, Integral Life and Training Centre and potential guests for the TY session tomorrow:

Dear all,

Unfortunately there is no Tibetan Yoga class tomorrow, September 6. The traffic from here to Hamburg seems more challenging than I was used to. And I have to teach karate from Friday early evening to Sunday afternoon. Therefor I need to leave before 10 h. I realized this too late and was not able to find a replacement for my me in time. My apologies.

If you had any friends that planned to come – alone or with you – please let them know that there is no session, but that they are welcome next Friday.

I look forward to see you again next week at the meditation or yoga classes. Let’s make it a wonderful year!

Warm regards,

Sydney
