SUMMARY:Kashmir Shaivism Retreat in Thailand
DESCRIPTION:6-Day Kashmir Shaivism Retreat in Thailand: From Cosmic Creation to Emotional Alchemy\n\n\n\nLearn the foundations of Kashmir Shaivism—from the unfolding of cosmic creation through the 36 tattvas to emotional transformation through the 9 rasas.\n\n\n\n\n\nRetreat Overview\n\n\n\nThis immersive 6-day Kashmir Shaivism retreat in Thailand offers a rare opportunity to study the core teachings of one of the most refined and optimistic paths of traditional Tantra. \n\n\n\nYou’ll explore: \n\n\n\n\nPart One: Cosmic Creation & the 36 Tattvas – learn how pure consciousness gradually unfolds into the physical universe—from the subtlest to the most tangible levels of existence.\n\n\n\nPart Two: Emotional Alchemy & the 9 Rasas – learn to recognize the essence of your emotions and be fully present with them—transforming reactivity into awareness.\n\n\n\nBonus: Key teachings from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra and the four Upayas\, presented from both a Tantric and psychological perspective.\n\n\n\n\nThrough daily lectures\, Hatha Yoga\, meditation\, and experiential exercises\, you’ll discover how these teachings apply not only to the structure of reality—but also to your personal\, emotional\, and spiritual life. \n\n\n\nPart One: Cosmic Creation and the 36 Tattvas\n\n\n\nHow did the One become Many? How did the formless become form? \n\n\n\nKashmir Shaivism answers these timeless questions through the 36 tattvas—subtle building blocks that describe how consciousness condenses into matter and creates the physical universe. \n\n\n\nYou’ll explore: \n\n\n\n\nThe 5 pure tattvas: Shiva\, Shakti\, and the three fundamental forces—Iccha (will)\, Jnana (knowledge)\, and Kriya (action)\n\n\n\nHow Maya creates the illusion of separation through 5 limiting veils (Kanchukas): time\, space\, power\, knowledge\, and joy\n\n\n\nThe emergence of Purusha (the individual soul)\, the mind\, ego\, senses\, and finally the five great elements: earth\, water\, fire\, air\, and ether\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is not abstract philosophy—it’s a spiritual blueprint of your own consciousness and a path to deep self-understanding. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPart Two: Emotional Alchemy and the 9 Rasas\n\n\n\nIn the second half of the retreat\, we move from cosmic structure to personal experience—diving into the 9 rasas\, or emotional essences. \n\n\n\nRooted in the Rig Veda\, the word rasa means “essence”. Each rasa holds a core energetic flavor\, which can give rise to a wide range of emotions. With awareness and practice\, these energies can be amplified\, purified\, or transformed—a process known in Tantra as emotional alchemy. \n\n\n\nYou’ll explore: \n\n\n\nShringara (Love)\, Hasya (Joy)\, Adbhuta (Wonder)\, Shanta (Calm)\, Raudra (Anger)\, Veerya (Courage)\, Karuna (Sadness)\, Bhayanaka (Fear)\, Vibhatsa (Disgust) \n\n\n\nYou’ll learn how to bring awareness to these emotional energies\, understand their deeper roots\, and use them as tools for spiritual growth rather than sources of suffering. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDaily Schedule\n\n\n\nA usual day at the Kashmir Shaivism Retreat would look like this: \n\n\n\n8:00 – 9:30 AM Hatha Yoga and Meditation9:30 – 10:40 AM Breakfast Break10:40 AM – 1:00 PM Midday Program1:00 – 4:00 PM Lunch Break4:00 – 6:30 PM Afternoon Program6:30 – 8:00 PM Dinner Break8:00 – 10:00 PM Evening Program \n\n\n\nPlease note that the schedule might change according to group size or other factors. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical details \n\n\n\nDates\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJanuary 12 – 17 2026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\nAmrita Integral Yoga Centre\, a beautiful retreat centre built in accordance with the principles of sacred architecture\, and located in Mae On\, 40 minutes drive from Chiang Mai.
