Tantric Peaces Tantra Workshops International Doctorate in Peace, Conflict and Development Studies UNESCO Chair of Philosophy for Peace Doctoral Dissertation Tantric Peaces Tantra Workshops - A Fresh Take on Ancient Paths to Inner Peace Helena Krivan Supervisor: Dr. Daniela Ingruber Castellón, Spain May, 2017 Abstract Workshops featuring or promising elements of Tantra have been on the rise in Europe and North America since the 1970s. This study attempts to define the elusive and eclectic term Tantra and explores the effects that Tantra workshops have on the peaceability, resilience and serenity of its attendees. Due to the accessibility of data, the Austria-based Institut Namasté was used as an example. The survey evaluations seem to show slim, albeit consistent positive changes in the subjective perception of increased peaceability among participants of the Institut Namasté’s Tantra Workshops; statistical relevance could not be determined. The in-depth interview analysis, on the other hand, showed clear evidence of growth and improvement in the five categories Interactions and Relationships; Confidence, Insight; Inner peace, Equanimity, Joy; Body Awareness, Sexuality; Mindfulness, Spirituality. This study demonstrates that there is a causal link between the Institut Namasté’s Tantra Workshops and the attendees’ development of resilience, frustration tolerance, nonviolent communication, self-esteem, compassion and inner peace, summarized as peaceability. The impact of this improvement benefits not only the alumni but, according to their reports, also their inner and outer circles of family, friends, colleagues and even strangers, thus contributing to peaceability on a societal level.

  • Global Nomads: Techno and New Age As Transnational Countercultures
    1111 2 Global Nomads 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 1 2 A uniquely ‘nomadic ethnography,’ Global Nomads is the first in-depth treat- 3111 ment of a counterculture flourishing in the global gulf stream of new electronic 4 and spiritual developments. D’Andrea’s is an insightful study of expressive indi- vidualism manifested in and through key cosmopolitan sites. This book is an 5 invaluable contribution to the anthropology/sociology of contemporary culture, 6 and presents required reading for students and scholars of new spiritualities, 7 techno-dance culture and globalization. 8 Graham St John, Research Fellow, 9 School of American Research, New Mexico 20111 1 D'Andrea breaks new ground in the scholarship on both globalization and the shaping of subjectivities. And he does so spectacularly, both through his focus 2 on neomadic cultures and a novel theorization. This is a deeply erudite book 3 and it is a lot of fun. 4 Saskia Sassen, Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology 5 at the University of Chicago, and Centennial Visiting Professor 6 at the London School of Economics. 7 8 Global Nomads is a unique introduction to the globalization of countercultures, 9 a topic largely unknown in and outside academia. Anthony D’Andrea examines 30111 the social life of mobile expatriates who live within a global circuit of counter- 1 cultural practice in paradoxical paradises. 2 Based on nomadic fieldwork across Spain and India, the study analyzes how and why these post-metropolitan subjects reject the homeland to shape an alternative 3 lifestyle. They become artists, therapists, exotic traders and bohemian workers seek- 4 ing to integrate labor, mobility and spirituality within a cosmopolitan culture of 35 expressive individualism.

  • Tantra at Khajuraho 24-30Th of November 2017 with Ananda Sarita
    Tantra at Khajuraho 24-30th of November 2017 with Ananda Sarita & Anahata Experience Sacred Rituals, Initiations and ceremonies at the birth place of Tantra This is one of the rare opportunities to plunge into the heart of Tantra at its birth place Khajuraho. An ancient city was built for the single purpose, to evolve by using Tantric methods. During this week you have the rare chance to meditate, experience sacred rituals and daily tours at the Temples of Khajuraho. Meditations and Rituals are offered in the mornings and evenings with temple tours in the afternoon. Our tour guide for these temples is Swami Ganga, a renowned expert on Khajuraho, he will share some of the secret Tantric teachings, which got passed on to him directly by Osho. About Khajuraho 1000 years ago Tantra was a tremendously alive phenomenon. Thousands of Tantrikas came to this city of temples from all over India and even from faraway countries. Khajuraho has been the “Mecca” of the Tantric adepts. In these Temples tantric initiations and rituals under the guidance of ancient Tantric Masters took place. Nowadays Khajuraho and its temples is a touristic attraction with thousands of visitors. The ancient secret rites and rituals seem to have faded and only the temples and statues bear witness of a different time, a time full of worship, devotion, dance, sacredness and meditation. With the right guidance and Osho`s wisdom shared through Sw. Ganga we are still able to see and connect to the splendor and grandeur of that time. Experience the whole scenery getting reawakened and revived with the sacred and the mystery.
