Thailand Retreat with Dharmandhi
Meditations with the Siva Sutras
Picture of Thailand retreat land
Dates:
July 13th-19th
Special Pricing: $450
Price includes all teachings, lodging, and food plus Guru Purnima Celebration on July 17th.

Trika Institute will be holding this event at the Adi-Yoga Retreat Center in Loei Province, Northern Thailand. This is a remarkable setting - far off the tourist path, on land that has been acquired for the sole purpose of developing an environment for Tantrik living and practice.

Dharmanidhi will be teaching from the Siva Sutras - the text revealed to Vasugupta in 850CE - that forms the cornerstone of Saivist philosophy. Dharmanidhi will show how this text can be used not only for philosophical understanding, but as an experiential method to liberation.

And on July 17, we will celebrate Guru Purnima! This is the day when we honor our Guru and the Wisdom Masters of the tradition with puja, kirtan, offerings, and merry-making.

General Introduction
Trika Institute is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the classical teachings of Yoga, Tantra, Warrior Traditions, and Ayurveda to the west in a context that is relevant to our modern world. Trika Institute began in 1997, when Dharmanidhi Sarasvati, after 10 years of study, was given the mandate by his Gurus to form a new sect of Kasmiri Shaivite Tantra for westerners, and to teach the classical Tantra and Yoga of India.

Trika Institute offers classes, courses, workshops and retreats in the practice and philosophy of classical Tantra and its associated traditions. and holds daily, weekly, and monthly pujas and ceremonies.

Trika Institute’s site, located within the beautiful studios of Yoga Mandala, is a Shiva Mandir – a ritually concecrated temple and place of practice and worship for an international community of Tantrik practitioners known as Jñanagni Kula.
