AGNI
Modules
Āgni is the fire of transformation and this module is all about stoking that fire through yogic lifestyle, diet and ritual.
Also known as Dinacharya, this Ayurvedic approach to honouring your body creates a sweet sense of homeostasis, harmony and bliss. It prepares the body for a deepening into sādhanā and facilitates optimum cellular transformation, integration and processing.
We begin on the Equinox with a 10 day cleanse and Lakshmi sādhanā, ending in Navarartri, with Durga.
TANTRIC PHILOSOPHY + PRACTICE
Sadhana, safe space and core concepts
This four week prayer will establish a supportive container of daily meditation, mantra and pranayama, as you explore the revelatory and life affirming technologies of radical non-dual Tantra.
Each session will open with a kirtan and sadhana of mantra, meditation, pranayama, deity yoga and transmission. After a break, we’ll sink into an inspiring lecture on the core teachings of the Tradition, including the 5 Acts, the 5 Powers, the 4 Levels, and the 3 Impurities. Together we will study the tantras and sutras, connect as a community, guide each other into practice and steep ourselves inside the philosophy.
TANTRIC PSYCHOLOGY + DEPTH PSYCHOLOGY
Samskaras, Upayas, Active Imagination + Jung
In each 2.5 hour session, we will explore the Unconscious through the fascinating lens of Carl Jung and the View of Kashmir Shaivism. Collette will guide you into a deeper understanding of Tantric Psychology and how to release Samskaras through the skilful means of the Upayas. We will look at the mystical, the imaginal and the dreamworld as realms of Soul, making contact with the underworld of the unconscious to touch into our totality and wholeness.
An astrologer and psychotherapist, Chris will introduce us to psyche through the doorway of soul, exploring Archetypes, the Collective Unconscious and how we can meet the parts of ourselves from an astrological perspective. We will also explore the Jungian technique of Active Imagination and how this weaves into yogic philosophy, embodiment and practice.
TANTRIC PHILOSOPHY + EMBODIMENT
Vak, Alchemy and the Moving Imagination
A deepening from the first module, we will introduce the inspired and extraordinary work of the Embodied Flow™ school of yoga to access a felt sense of the teachings of Kashmir Shaivism. This will be a shared movement laboratory, recognising the body as a vehicle for awakening, through embodied anatomy and experiential philosophy.
The session will include a lecture on Vak (mystic linguistics), from Leela Dasi, a generous break and a 90 minute movement practice from Collette. There will be time to share our embodied research, to journal, process and integrate our learning. You will also be introduced the the class planning pillars.
DEEP REST, BOUNDARIES + POETRY AS MEDITATION
Madhya, Visioning and Dreams
The liminal space pulses at the heart of the Samāveśa process and we are finding portals to abide in the place where everything waits. The home of potentiality and deepest knowing. This module opens the door to profound practices of creative flow that show us how to live in alignment and rhythm with life.
You will turn rest into ritual, attune to your own poetic heart, know your yes and you're no and understand your boundaries. This module is a sweet holding and refuge where we view awakening from the perspective of wholeness. Where honoring your bodymind is honoring the organism of the whole. And where tending to your own needs will allow you to build your resilience and increase your capacity to hold stronger, safer and clearer space. At work, at home and in your community. For the benefit of all beings.

“To write some words on this form feels very tiny in comparasion to what Samāveśa gave and continues giving me. From that lonely sofa day nearly two years ago when I first landed upon Collette and her work I felt something light up, maybe even remember a part of myself. I feel like I have been gifted with these teachings and I honour them like any of my loved ones. I feel more honest in my teaching to my relationships. I journeyed through path and practice that has always been there, but now I am her. The practice is my life, even when i forget (which I do and I will) she is so firmly rooted inside of me like the hardiest of herbs. And just like that, my own roots have been able to twist and spiral themselves around and to the ground below me too. I am dancing in the chamatkara..”

“I have loved being a part of the Samāveśa Training. I feel inspired by the depth of the teachings, I loved doing (and redoing) practices, and I love reading the Scriptures. The Kula, my buddy, the teachers and Collette are huge inspirations on this path. I truly felt, that I belong in this container. I feel gratitude for all of it and for all that is still to come.”
