Heart of the Yoginīs Retreat: Transforming Passion on the Path of Sādhana
With Jacob Kyle
July 11 - 17, 2026
This retreat approaches yoginī energies directly through the disciplined frameworks of Śākta-Śaiva Tantra — working with the yoginīs as living expressions of kuṇḍalinī-śakti, each presiding over a chakra within the yogic body.
Rather than pathologizing passion or attempting to eliminate it, we will examine how Tantric traditions refine and transmute affective intensity into clarity, devotion, and awakened awareness.
Across seven days, we will engage primary texts, structured mantra practice, visualization, and embodied ritual within a coherent philosophical arc.
The focus is neither therapeutic catharsis nor abstract scholarship, but the cultivation of a dynamic relationship with transformative energy itself.
