This immersive 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.
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.
