KASHMIRIAN TANTRA AND TANDAVA

with Daniel Odier and Parvathi Nanda Nath

SEPTEMBER 1 - 5, 2006

IN VENICE, CA

Discover your innate capacity for freedom as you allow the universe to dance through you. Leading tantric scholar Daniel Odier
teaches the sacred practice of Kashmiri tantra, an ancient form of
yoga that has all but disappeared. Called tandava, it is a very slow,
mystical dance that leads to the perception of the cosmic body, or attunement to the infinite. It is a three-part practice that unites sitting
meditation with movement.

Daniel Odier is a
tantric teacher who has received
the Mahamudra transmission
from several masters, including
Lalita Devi, who also gave him
some of the most profound mystical teachings of the Pratyabhijna
and Spanda schools of the Kaula
tradition. Daniel taught tantrism
and Buddhism in several American universities before founding
the Tantra/Chan Center in Paris,
France, in 1995. He closed the
center in 2000 in order to encourage independent practice, and
today he gives workshops and
seminars throughout the world.

In Stage One, you learn to meditate by allowing the body

to be present in space, using gentle, free, and non-directed
movements. These movements are connected to abdominal
breathing and follow the pattern of infinity. In Stage Two,
you allow the arms to discover the spherical space surrounding the body, which also participates fully and fluidly. Stage
Three is the sacred dance of Shiva, or tandava. It is a dance
with spontaneous and extremely slow movements that gradually eliminate any sense of volition or muscular tension.
Author of Tantric Quest and Desire: The Tantric Path to
Awakening, Daniel teaches tandava in accordance with the
transmission he received from the yogi Lalita Devi. This
workshop intensive will be dedicated primarily to practice,
with ample time for questions and answers. Certain visualizations are added to complement the spatial awareness experienced through the dance of Shiva.
This workshop is non-residential, see last page for
