Direct Realization Training
Upcoming dates TBC • Embodied Liberation for the 21st Century. Come learn a systematic methodology for Self-Realization.
You and the spiritual path, it’s been years.
Maybe it’s the longest relationship you’ve ever had.
But despite all the years, and all the practices, and all the workshops, retreats and classes… you’re still getting stuck in the same shit, maybe just a level or two up the rung, but it’s the same.
You’re just wearing a different costume, eating different foods and identifying as a different character in the greatest stage show on earth.
But you’re still a character.
You’re still in the show
And you still think it’s reality.
Sure, there was that awakening experience that one time, or maybe even a handful of times.
But awakening is NOT an experience - it can not be had.
And if you’re ‘having’ the experience, you’re still misidentified as the I-Self.
That’s not awakening.
Awakening sets you free of identification with your self-images (I’m this, I’m that), your stories, your anxieties, your fears, all the things…
Awakening sets you free.
For real.
When you combine the right teachings, with the right practices, and the right way to look at yourself and the world…
You will wake up.
Awakening will happen.
Read that again.
Awakening will happen.
The Tantrik tradition says this process of awakening takes three years or less.
How many years have you been seeking?
If it’s more than three, and you’re not yet experiencing at least regular moments of awakeness… you’re lost my friend, so very lost.
Ready to get found?
The Direct Realization Training is based on the teachings and practices of Traditional Tantra.
It focuses on HOW to apply those teachings and practices to a regular householder life.
That means that you not only wake up but also liberate yourself from mind-created suffering and begin to prosper in a way that serves you, your family and your community,
It does this by teaching you HOW to recognise when you are keeping yourself stuck, and teaching you HOW to get yourself unstuck.
Because there are two ways that people operate in this world - one leads them deeper into bondage, and one leads them into freedom.
Which path are you on?
Which path do you want to be on?
Get ready to jump on a trajectory toward awakening, liberation and prosperity.

But you'd like to know more. Read on...
Weekly Webinars are on Thursdays at 11:30 am AND 7 pm NZ time. It is compulsory to attend at least ONE webinar every week. YOu're welcome to attend both if you like.
This is an estimate of how much time you may need to commit to this Immersion. I would suggest making it your #1 education priority over the six-week period. It's preferable to make this your ONLY Course over this period. Estimated Time Commitment: • Showing up weekly to the webinar (2-3 hours) • Rewatching the webinar as necessary to complete OmWork • Completing the Curriculum Lessons (2-3 hour a week) • Practicing (ideally 30 minutes a day) • Journalling/contemplating/doing exercises or OmWork (2 hours a week) • Engaging in the discussion group (15 minutes to a couple of hours a week) In total, expect to spend a minimum of five hours a week watching, listening, reading, and doing exercises. Five to ten hours allocated would be ideal.
No, you don’t need to be a yoga teacher.
Nope, it’s not. Tantra is is a path of self-realization or liberation. Tantra is inclusive of all aspects of living, including working, parenting, relationships and sex. And there were (VERY complex) rituals aimed at merging with unity consciousness that included sexual practices. However, this has nothing to do with modern sexual techniques, or conscious sexuality, which is often (erroneously) taught under the name of Tantra. Suffice to say, there won’t be any sex in this Immersion.
