  • About This Event

    *Please note: Even though the Yoga of Buddha Heruka is a Tantric practice it is not necessary to have a Highest Yoga Tantric empowerment to attend this retreat. However, attendees should have a sincere wish to receive one in the near future in order to fully experience the profound benefits of these teachings.

    This five day semi silent meditation retreat will give people the opportunity to experience Tantric Meditation and in particular the Highest Yoga Tantra self-generation practices of Buddha Heruka. Tantra uses the power of our imagination and visualization to bring about the swiftest internal transformation. Through practicing Tantra we can eliminate the causes of all of our negative minds, and fully develop the positive qualities of mind needed to experience true happiness and to help those around us.

    Each guided meditation session is broken up into several parts and includes basic settling meditation, teachings and instruction, and further guided meditation. To promote peace and stillness within, we will be observing silence every day until 12:30pm (lunchtime).
