Orientating to the Heart: Relational Transformation (full)
Anglesey
Friday 10th May to Sunday 12th May
Arrivals for the retreat are from 4pm onwards on the Friday afternoon and the
retreat finishes at 1.30pm after lunch on Sunday.
£290.
The weekend will focus upon the Heart and its ability to connect us with the
wider world and our deeper selves; exploring how we can align our heart and
minds to create new perspectives. We will also spend some time familiarising
ourselves with the beautiful 'marriage' of Shiva and Shakti as an introduction
to the wonderful Classical Tantra tradition. There will be asana, meditation,
chanting, creative activities, and time spent in nature, as well as
opportunities to connect with each other.

Enlightenment Intensives
Wales
30th May - 4th June 2024
1st - 6th August 2024
Full Price: £400 - Community contributors: £300
These Enlightenment Intensives are aimed at breaking through to a profound state
of awareness often called "enlightenment." There are many more correct,
traditional and poetic ways of referring to this most precious and essential
understanding. This naturally occurring state is read and talked about, usually,
as if it lives at the end of a mystical rainbow and will never happen. That is a
shame - it is the key to life and happiness and can be experienced by anyone who
takes two to three days to look deeply within, earnestly and honestly, with
complete attention. You need skillful support to do this. Going it alone is life
wastingly slow.

Sacred Man Sacred Woman is: An honouring and a ceremonial "war of beauty"
between men and women. The annual summer event of the last 30 years at our wild
nature retreat. Come to explore yourself, the mystery of the other, to love and
grow, to find home and to have some fantastic out of this world time. With much
hilarity and yet with authentic depth, a traditional “war” between men and women
is declared. Taking to their separate camps, they separate into women's and
men's circles. Only after a long day and night in their own sacred lodges do
they emerge to meet again - to ritually engage.

and Khandro Déchen

The nondual enlivening power of Yeshé Tsogyel, is beyond measure or comparison.

Buddhas — likewise his consort Yeshé Tsogyel was the female Buddha. Her Dzogchen
lineage is a path of liberation from the pathology of duality.

Note by UK Tantra News editor - the topic of Yeshe Tsogyel (aka Yeshe Tsogyal)
is controversial in modern (Tantric) Buddhism - one text says that she was gang
raped in a remote area in ancient times, but Enlightened all of the men via that
act. i.e. that the Yoni can do that even during rape and that rape is wrong
chiefly due to it being a wrong form of sex for men to aspire to re bringing
Enlightenment (so irrespective of the effect of rape on women) - and that is
cited even by some modern Buddhist lamas. Bear in mind that Buddhism is far
older than organised law and order, and so had to account for situations
involving banditry etc when first devised. I don't know exactly what this class
will teach about her though.
