Please join Marc Nevas for: Tantra: History, Values and Contemporary Practice, a six-class series beginning Tuesday evening, January 3 at 5:30 PM.

Tantra – the science of liberation from ignorance – formed its roots over 7,000 years ago. Its mystical traditions and practices have mixed with the ancient Vedas and has influenced the growth of Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and modern yoga and meditation practices so prevalent today.

In this six-week series we will explore the ancient roots of Tantra from the time of Shiva when order was brought to a chaotic time in precivilization and the subsequent rise of the large and peaceful Harrapan civilization. We will also explore the enduring teachings, moral values, and practices that make tantra so applicable to contemporary life. Marc will also offer teachings on the spiritual practices of tantra, the role of preceptor or guru in tantra, and finally (and most importantly), the role and application of tantra during times of great societal change upheaval as we come into a new era for humanity and the planet.

Upon completion of this series you will have an understanding of how tantra has birthed or influenced most of the mystical traditions known today, and have the opportunity to learn a meditation practice based on the ancient tantra practices.

People of all spiritual beliefs are welcome! Attend one, some, or all six classes.
