Bliss of Surrender: IPSALU Tantra De-Armoring Intensive


Join us for the Ipsalu Tantra’s De-Armoring Intensive “Bliss of Surrender”. A deep exploration and opening of the body, mind and soul with Nayano.

In this workshop, we explore the emotional blocks and core beliefs developed in early childhood. During those primal years, we learned to repress our naturalness in order to feel accepted, safe and loved. These repressed emotional energies and protective defenses live in our physical, emotional and mental bodies; affecting our musculature, nervous system and brain.

*Level 1 Cobra Breath is a Prerequisite for this Course.


LEARN HOW TO:

  • Calm the effects of trauma in the nervous system and brain.

  • Explore your inner resistance and blocks to self-care and relaxation.

  • Find ways of bringing a greater sense of self-love into your life and being.

  • Practice simple exercises to calm the effects of trauma in the nervous system and brain.

  • Understand the roots of our emotional reactions, learn to respond with awareness and live with far greater confidence and equilibrium.

  • Gently relax and unwind the body through guided, partnered massage techniques.

  • Experience a variety of meditations for deeper self-discovery and self- acceptance.

  • Leave the retreat with an increased flow of life-force energy and a deeper connection to the beauty of your authentic Self in all it’s qualities of innocence, joy, love and bliss.


What is IPSALU Kriya Tantra?

Many think of Tantra as a way to enhance their sexuality. While that is an amazing benefit of practicing Tantra, that’s only part of the picture.

Ipsalu Tantra isn’t just a practice. It is method of spiritual advancement as derived from a sophisticated lineage of yogic masters of the ancient world. These methods enable us to cultivate the energy of our bodies (physical, energetic), mind and soul, so we can blossom into our authentic natures. By doing so, we can more joyfully and skillfully engage in our contemporary world. By recognizing our power within the quantum field of love and light, and the influences we can have within it, we can master positive change in our own lives and of the world.

Ipsalu Tantra Kriya Yoga is a unique approach within the variety of Tantric paths, a system for safely activating your cosmic consciousness—Kundalini. “Ipsalu” means “going beyond desires.” The ego mind believes having its desires fulfilled will bring happiness but that is seldom true. The Soul lives in bliss. By identifying more and more with your divine nature, you release your desires and discover who you truly are.


What Will You Gain?

As you progress in the practice of Ipsalu Tantra, you will grow in many ways: physically, emotionally and spiritually. The practice will help you become:

  • More sensitive and intuitive

  • More creative and authentic

  • More loving and compassionate

  • More joyful and connected

You will reclaim your hidden magnificence, your Inner Truth. You will discover Divinity in your Humanness. You will expand your capabilities and possibilities, discovering parts of yourself that had been paralyzed by limiting unconscious beliefs. You will become free from bondage to your past and your programming. And you will learn to be comfortable with yourself and others. Your intimate relationships will enter a dimension you could not have imagined.

And these benefits last for a lifetime.

This course is led by Nayano.

Nayano

Nayano is certified to teach Levels 1-4 and Modules 1-3 Teacher Training

I am Nayano, one of the senior Ipsalu teachers. I began my Ipsalu practice in early 2000 when Bodhi came to South Florida to facilitate a Level 1. I was a massage therapist and Reiki master at that time and had been looking for a Tantric path. However the other Tantras did not feel balanced to me, nor did I feel the sense of well-being and integrity my soul was longing for. After the course I felt “home” and this was the science that would help me heal.​

After years of practice, I now teach Courses in several different countries including US, Costa Rica, Mexico, Colombia and France. More destinations are opening up throughout the world. It is an exciting time, as more of humanity is prepared to take on this practice of self-mastery and awakening.

NOURISHMENT

We will be nourishing with organic, plant-based, locally-sourced foods that come from our regenerative farm or other local farms.

BRAVE EARTH

Brave Earth, Center for Applied Cultural Transition, is a living laboratory rooted in principles of regeneration, resiliency and reciprocity. We provide immersive experiences in the Nature that share alternative ways of living and being that are suitable for modernity and contextually relevant for the rapidly changing world we live in. 

Immerse yourself in the majesty and mystery of the rainforest. Brave Earth is located between San Ramon and La Fortuna, nestled in between Arenal Volcano and the Children’s Eternal Rainforest, the largest reserve of protected wildlife in Costa Rica.

As a living lab, we have experimented with different building modalities using AirCrete and materials sourced on the land including bamboo and adobe. We have implemented biophilic design, closed-loop systems and permaculture design principles. Ornamental, food, and medicinal gardens surround the center as well as hiking trials to a nearby river, and a natural swimming pond.

Shared spaces are where we communally gather and are designed to feel symbiotic with the environment in which we are embedded.
