Details of this retreat
Join us for a 1st Module of a unique training covering the processes & techniques of Shamanic-Tantric States of Consciousness. The workshop is an introduction to the Annual Tantric and Shamanic Extended States of Consciousness Training led by Anand Rudra. The Annual Training includes three workshops, and each workshop is an independent part, and you can take the classes in any order. No prior preparation is necessary. The entire training also includes an online mini workshop and four webinars for workshop participants.
Expanded/Altered States of Consciousness/Mind (ESC) are different from the normal state of consciousness we experience daily. There are many different experiences that can put us into ESC - for example, we experience such states when we are dreaming, or when we are awake. ESC can also be caused by sleep deprivation, euphoria or panic. The dream state, hypnosis or meditation are also different states of consciousness. Different ESC can differ from each other. Our consciousness can travel (when we are dreaming, for example) or it can be focused during meditation. We can also have the experience of pure consciousness undisturbed by thoughts, which is outside ESC.
TANTRIC AND SHAMANIAN EXPERIENCES OF ALTERED STATES OF CONSCIOUSNESS INCLUDE PRACTICES:
Ritualism
It is one of the key aspects on tantra in which someone can experience a sacred act that can take you to a condition of the mind that will be depending on the one directing or in the same participant. A ritual has different many aspects from Psychomagic to a Subconscious collective memory that naturally triggers a ESC process.
Sacred Sexuality
Sexual energy in combination with breath work, touch and awareness is a very deep combination that can trigger in our mind and body a very deep ESC. We develop a huge amount of bioelectricity & biopeptides that can be the fuel to this kind of process.
Primordial Shamanism
We will be entering into experiences that will take you safely into Expanded States of Consciousness (ESC). We will learn and discuss practices such as shamanic drumming, lucid dreaming, sleep deprivation, fasting, music, meditation, sensory deprivation, hypnosis, and physical exercises and rituals. We will find out what psychoactive substances have been and are used in various shamanic cultures. We will learn about one of the powerful elements of shamanism - connection with elementals - energy beings who embody the elements of fire, air, earth and water.
Pranayama
Handle of life force energy throughout breathing, eye gazing, touching, kriyas or movement, bandhas & mudras. The handle of very good pranayams can take you to an ESC.
Meditation
In Tantra and Shamanism to meditate is not only to set your mind on blank, or not to have thoughts. We have active meditation like dance & breathwork together. We have Yantra methods - the image, the energy and the idea that develops behind and take you through process. Niaza Tantra is one of the ancient techniques to go from sleeping process to lucid dreaming or to deep relaxation creating restful alertness or awakening dreaming.
Yoga or Bodywork
When you work with consciousness while performing asanas, they can awaken different energies and allow you to move into the ESC state. The combination with Kriyas, bandhas & breathwork an asana can be as powerful as any kind ESC journey
Workshop is led by shamanism and tantric expert Anand Rudra – founder of True Tantra School, son of a Mexican shaman and grandson of a Mexican Yaqui Indian healer.
His expertise combines academic knowledge, practical experience and ancient practices. Rituals include Olmec, Aztec, Balinese, Dravidian, Siberian, Filipino and Mayan tribal traditions.
According to Anand Rudra tantra and shamanism are the paths of healing and development aimed at raising consciousness. Both paths are based on 3 dimensions: the physical body; the astral body and the causal body. Science and Nature, shamanism and tantra meet halfway. Tantric shamanic knowledge combines both aspects. It is one of the main aspects and tools that tantric shamanism uses for healing, connecting with the universe and Supra-Nature.
TRUE TANTRA SCHOOL
True Tantra is based on the ancient teaching method, part of which is an independent and complementary techniques. When you learn Tantra, you have to understand and experience all its aspects:
● Ancient Kriya Yoga Tantra; the rituals as the moving energy method and meditations (yandras and mantras)
● Sacred Sexuality (Sacred Connection and Sacred Conscious Touch)
● Meditation (utilising Your intention and no meditation approch)
● Swahara Yoga (Pranayama Knowledge).
True Tantra had become one of the first institutions within Spain and part of Europe to give a real methodology to a Tantra Session. All this professional effort has become to build a group of masseurs, therapists, tantra monitors, Tantrikas (Docents), Monitors of Ancient Tantra Kriya Yoga and Teachers on Ancient Tantra Kriya Yoga. Each professional must sit several oral and practical exams and each year they renew their knowledge not only to show what they know but also to get to know more methods and to deepen the Tantra practice more. All these people must fulfil the ethical values of our True Tantra school. Web: www.truetantra.eu
Primal Shamanic Tantric Certification
periodic hybrid master training/ ANANDA RUDRA’s SCHOOL
Anand Rudra together with the Be.Tantric group members, has decided to create a certification system, which will allow to achieve a Master’s Degree in the chosen area of shamanism and tantra. This system is constituted by fundamental phases of practice and knowledge.
The whole workshop has a periodical character which means, you are allowed to participate in every part without necessity of finishing any other one. It is not necessary to choose any level. Collected points from the participated workshops will show the participant’s level at the present moment.
The programme includes 3 levels: practitioner’s, intern’s and instructor’s. If you have finished any of Ananda’s workshops, they can be counted into the whole training.
Each workshop includes a lot of theoretical and practical material. The way they were constructed was thought to follow the Bologna European Academy. Each certificate issued by us meet these requirements and the workshop participation is signed by True Tantra and Be.Tantric confirmed with a certificate.
ATTENTION: this workshop is a part of a new Anand Rundra’s Tantra and Shamanism School („Primal Shamanic Tantric Certification”).
