Course Archivi - Yoga in centro

Friday, 13 February⋅6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m.

Conference with Diego Manzi. Tantric Yoga.

Followed by: shared dinner.

Indian Tantrism: origins, developments and main doctrines of a complex phenomenon.

What is Tantrism? What are its origins? What are the “Tantric” texts and how are they structured? What were its main developments in India and outside India? Is there a principle of continuity between pre-modern tantric doctrines and so-called neo-tantra? These are just some of the questions we will try to answer by focusing on what we can consider one of the most important philosophical, religious, yogic, linguistic, aesthetic, social and anthropological experiences of Indian thought.

The Chakra Yantras – Theoretical and practical workshop with Claudia Becagli

Yantras and Mandalas: sacred diagrams.

Both represent the structure of the universe as well as that of humans. They are a microcosmic replica of the macrocosm. Drawing and coloring them is a profound meditative experience, but not only that.

Each Yantra is associated with a mantra that is the vibrational sound correspondence of the graphic structure of the Yantra itself. Its symbolism functions as a tool for transforming psychic energy.

They can be used for meditation but also in interior design, where they correct any disharmonies.

In this meeting, we will follow the inspiration of the seven major energy centers of the human subtle body (chakras), which are considered a system of psychic ‘crossroads’ in which the infinite world of time and space are seen as reflected in the psychophysical structure of man.

We will enter into the experience of their elements, colors, symbols, and sound vibrations. A journey into sacred geometry, intrinsic to the constitutive nature of every being.

*** It is important that everyone brings their own compass, set square, and pencil.

You may also bring your favorite colors (pencils, crayons, or markers).

Contribution: €50
