Women's Circle: Awaken the Goddess Within
2025-09-26 17:30 - 19:00
Reconnect with Your Feminine Nature Through the Five Elements

Join us for a heart-centered women’s circle in Chiang Mai designed to awaken and nourish your feminine energy. In this sacred space, we’ll explore the five elements — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether — as gateways to self-awareness, expression, and healing.

Inspired by the Tantric tradition of the five tattvas, this gathering is an invitation to come home to yourself — to move, feel, express, and reconnect with the powerful woman within.

Whether you’re new to Tantra or already on your path, this space welcomes you just as you are.

What is a Women’s Circle?

It’s a space to remember — to reconnect with what’s real, with yourself, with others, and with the feminine essence that often gets lost in daily life. It’s not about doing or performing; it’s about being. A place where we breathe, feel, and meet each other beyond words and roles. Where we gently recognize in one another what we may have forgotten in ourselves. No pressure, no masks — just presence.

What You’ll Experience

🌸 A sacred opening of the circle🌸 Heartfelt connection with other women🌸 Inspiring Tantra talks on femininity & the 5 elements🌸 Interactive exercises to explore your feminine nature🌸 A grounding and uplifting closing ritual

Who Is This For?

This event is for all women seeking deeper connection with themselves and others — a space of sisterhood, self-expression, and gentle transformation. No prior experience with Tantra or women’s circles is needed.

” This has truly been nourishing me on all levels. You don’t only get to hear about Shakti, the elements, and sisterhood, but you truly get to experience and embody them. And you don’t only get in touch with your own soul, but with the souls of your sisters as well. I would come again” – Tabea, 25

New Year Silent Meditation Retreat - Module 1
2025-12-28 00:00 - 2026-01-02 23:59
6-Day New Year Silent Meditation Retreat – Module 1 – onsite at Amrita Integral Yoga Resort

Start the New Year in deep silence and discover your true essence

Module 1: December 28, 2025 – January 2, 2026For Module 2: January 2 – 6, 2026, please visit the event page here.

This New Year’s Silent Retreat offers a beautiful opportunity to step into the new year consciously — with an open, awakened heart, held in the embrace of silence.

The first module (December 28 – January 2) focuses on understanding the mechanisms of meditation and awakening the heart — tapping into its depths to reach the soul.

Through profound lectures inspired by the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, Tantraloka, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, we’ll explore the art of meditation — answering not only practical questions like how to meditate, how to concentrate, relax deeply, and establish a daily habit of meditation and yoga practice that supports inner stillness, but also delving into the metaphysical nature of consciousness itself.

Alongside the teachings, daily Hatha Yoga and meditation practices will help awaken the heart, strengthen focus, and prepare for the deeper meditation sessions of the second module (January 2 – 6).

Although the retreat is held in silence, it’s not about isolation. We’ll still connect through subtle interactive exercises, shared presence, and moments of gentle human warmth — even a few hugs. Each day also includes a written Q&A, allowing participants to express and have their questions answered mindfully.

Daily Schedule

Each day includes several meditations (of various lengths) for unveiling the Self, extended yoga practice and inspiring lectures. The day usually starts at 8.00 and concludes at 22.00. Besides meal breaks, you will also enjoy time for personal contemplation or relaxation.

8:00 – 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

Kashmir Shaivism Retreat in Thailand
2026-01-12 00:00 - 2026-01-17 23:59
6-Day Kashmir Shaivism Retreat in Thailand: From Cosmic Creation to Emotional Alchemy

Learn the foundations of Kashmir Shaivism—from the unfolding of cosmic creation through the 36 tattvas to emotional transformation through the 9 rasas.

Retreat Overview

This 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.

You’ll explore:

Part 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.

Part Two: Emotional Alchemy & the 9 Rasas – learn to recognize the essence of your emotions and be fully present with them—transforming reactivity into awareness.

Bonus: Key teachings from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra and the four Upayas, presented from both a Tantric and psychological perspective.

Through 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.

Part One: Cosmic Creation and the 36 Tattvas

How did the One become Many? How did the formless become form?

Kashmir Shaivism answers these timeless questions through the 36 tattvas—subtle building blocks that describe how consciousness condenses into matter and creates the physical universe.

You’ll explore:

The 5 pure tattvas: Shiva, Shakti, and the three fundamental forces—Iccha (will), Jnana (knowledge), and Kriya (action)

How Maya creates the illusion of separation through 5 limiting veils (Kanchukas): time, space, power, knowledge, and joy

The emergence of Purusha (the individual soul), the mind, ego, senses, and finally the five great elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether

This is not abstract philosophy—it’s a spiritual blueprint of your own consciousness and a path to deep self-understanding.

Part Two: Emotional Alchemy and the 9 Rasas

In the second half of the retreat, we move from cosmic structure to personal experience—diving into the 9 rasas, or emotional essences.

Rooted 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.

You’ll explore:

Shringara (Love), Hasya (Joy), Adbhuta (Wonder), Shanta (Calm), Raudra (Anger), Veerya (Courage), Karuna (Sadness), Bhayanaka (Fear), Vibhatsa (Disgust)

You’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.

Women’s Retreat in Thailand
2026-06-19 00:00 - 2026-06-23 23:59
A rejuvenating women’s retreat in Thailand inspired by the five elements and the wisdom of Tantra

This is a wellness oriented rejuvenating retreat for women who wish to learn esoteric notions about the elements while enjoying the beauty of Thailand’s nature. In addition, you’ll be held in a warm bath of sisterly connection, enchanting nature and luxury spa delights. Rooted in the millenary science of Integral Yoga and Esoteric Tantra, we will immerse ourselves in the ancient wisdom of life to know and nourish our nature as women.

Throughout the retreat, you’ll be guided through inspiring lectures, interactive workshops, Hatha Yoga, guided meditation, sensual dance sessions, sound bath sessions, sharing sessions, a spa night and a beautiful ceremony. Together, these experiences invite you on a physical, emotional and spiritually rejuvenating journey and, even more importantly, help you to discover yourself.

The Five Elements You’ll Explore:

At the heart of this women’s retreat lies the ancient wisdom of Tantra Yoga and the five subtle elements (Tattvas). While these are primarily known as the building blocks of nature, they also significantly shape our inner world as women.

Each day, one of the elements will be explored through teachings and practices, helping you awaken and embody its unique feminine energy.

Earth (Prithivi) – Grounding & Nourishment: Discover how to feel rooted and steady in yourself. As a result, you’ll learn to nourish your body and spirit so you can become a stable, abundant source of life and love.

Water (Apas) – Sensuality: Awaken your natural sensuality and emotional fluidity. In doing so, you’ll reclaim the freedom to express your erotic energy with grace, confidence, and joy.

Fire (Tejas) – Confidence & Radiance: Tap into your inner fire and build self-confidence and personal power. Therefore, you allow yourself to shine fully, unapologetically, and authentically.

Air (Vayu) – Love & Sisterhood: Open your heart and expand into deeper connection. In addition, learn how to strengthen bonds with other women and uplift yourself through love, empathy, and conscious support.

Ether (Akasha) – Spiritual Clarity: Discover how to become a source of feminine inspiration and access a higher dimension of spiritual wisdom.

You will learn to:

Rebalance your body, mind, and spirit through the five elements

Explore your feminine nature in a grounded and embodied way

Cultivate emotional freedom and sensual self-expression

Build deep self-confidence and personal radiance

Open yourself to love, support, and conscious sisterhood

Access your inner intuition, stillness, and spiritual power

Ultimately, this retreat is not just about learning — above all, it’s about feeling, experiencing, and coming home to yourself. You’ll be held in a space of beauty, nature, and sisterhood, where real transformation happens gently and naturally.

This retreat has been such an incredible and amazing experience—so transformative. I wasn’t quite sure what I was looking for when I came, but I was longing to connect with other women and my feminine side. The feelings I currently have are indescribable—it was an incredible experience that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. (Stephanie)

Daily Schedule

Each day will consist of guided outdoor mountain-view Hatha yoga and meditation practice, inspiring workshops about the subtle elements tailored to women, connective exercises with the other women, time for sharing and lots of delights such as sauna-sessions and a spiritual ceremonies.

Silent Retreat with Yoga
2026-07-01 00:00 - 2026-07-06 23:59
6-Day Silent Retreat with Yoga

Bringing Meditation to Life in a heart-centred way

In this 6-day silent retreat we seek to discover the capacity to remain fully engaged in life while stayed firmly centred in inner silence.

The retreat will include a combination of activities, from Hatha Yoga and meditation to workshop-like interactive exercises. In our lectures we’ll touch on the Tantric view on meditation, and we’ll learn how to bring meditation to life, meditating on the essence of emotions, desires and inner experiences. We’ll have days in which we’ll speak and days spent in silence.

Our approach will combine the traditional methods of concentration (the 8 fold stages of Patanjali – focusing mainly on ) with methods taken from the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra.

Is this the same as Vipassana?

There are similarities but also differences. It’s similar from the perspective of the fact that we go in silence in the first evening and come out of silence on the morning of the last day, and we respect silence, devoting a lot of time for meditation. It’s different because we do yoga, keeping the body fresh, awake, and with a lot of energy. Even if we’ll be in silence, we aim to be deliberately heart connected to the others, and not isolated, creating a warm and sweet spiritual group. Also unlike Vipassana, we are allowed to silently embrace and keep the sweetness in the heart as a support of our meditative practice.
