May 31- June 2, 2024
Barcelona, Spain
A weekend Retreat with Suzanne Faith
Join Suzanne for an immersion into the depths of your soul and the fabric of your humanity by exploring the practices within the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra (VBT).
This text provides us with the HEART of Tantric Meditation. Some consider this text as a tantric manual, but not an intellectual manual. This text provides skills and tools to allow your consciousness to expand. The text has more than a dozen translations and has opened the hearts of countless meditation practitioners.
Rooted in philosophy and ancient sutras, this weekend immersion is for all levels of students and meditators, and anyone interested in deepening their spiritual life and learning. This weekend retreat will bring participants in direct relationship with the Sacred Divine through the practices, techniques, and theoretical framework explored in the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra (VBT)
The Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra (VBT) is a text of the Śaiva Tantrik tradition, also known as Tantric Shaivism or ‘Kashmīr Shaivism’ which arose in the middle of the ninth Century. What does Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra mean?
Vijnana means consciousness and insight, Bhairava means intensified awareness, and Tantra means to weave the spiritual with the physical. This text teaches us that every ordinary experience in our day-to-day reality within this physical world can provide a window into the infinite spaces of oneness and joy.
