Wanna be a Joy Rebel?

Ok, I get it. 

You've been on the spiritual path for EONS. 

You've been doing the work. 

You've tried ALL the things, from breathwork with a shaman who may or may not have gotten their certification on Etsy, to that 4 AM kundalini class where everyone was named either River or Sage, to buying $87 worth of crystals that are definitely just sitting in a drawer somewhere gathering dust instead of clearing your chakras.

You've downloaded every meditation app known to humanity (you've got like 47 notifications right now about your "mindfulness streak"), bookmarked 10,000 YouTube videos on manifestation that you swear you'll watch later, and tried to Marie Kondo your trauma, and microdose your gratitude.

I've got something you may not have tried. 

Unless you've been a diligent student of Abhinava Gupta or Kṣemarāja and applied the teachings of Non-Dual Tantrik Shaivism.

In which case, good on you! But if not... what about THIS?

What if there was no more 'work' to do?

What if you didn't have to heal more, learn more, know more?

What if it was as simple as...

Opening up to the 

Inherent Joy of Awareness

right here,

right now?

It's true, you see. 

According to Non-Dual Tantrik Shaivism, the Joy of Awareness is the inherent nature of the Universe - including OUR inherent nature.

I know this is true because I'm living it, and have been now for a few years. 

I've roadtested, mapped it out, kicked the tyres, been through the fire, done the vision quest, been initiated, and now

here I AM.  

And I want to take YOU with me.

Because life is always more fun with company.

The Joy Rebel Path is based on the wanderings, exploration, study, practice and discoveries of my last 30 years.

It adheres to the View Teachings, Practice Technology and Fruit of Non-Dual Tantrik Shaivism, with a singular focus on knowing oneself as the Joy of Awareness.

Grok that, and EVERYTHING falls into place. 

Oh, plus there's a solid focus on moving out of the hyper-individualized focus of late-stage capitalism spirituality and back into a focus on our service and contribution to humanity as a whole.

It's not about you anymore, darling.

It's about the world.

I mean, you don't exist in the way you think you do anyway... and we get into that too.

What’s Involved in being a Joy Rebel

We take radical self-responsibility for what's happening, and we train baby, we train big time. 

Plus, we enjoy it, just like Rocky running up those Philadelphia steps, Alex Owens welding by day and dancing by night, and Daniel-san waxing on and waxing off until muscle memory becomes spiritual destiny.

That means we take the raw material of your life, and your avatar (that meat flesh suit that gives you the ability to interface with the apparent external reality), and we APPLY the teachings and practices that support you to open to the Joy of Awareness in real time, no matter what's happening. 

We rewire the body/mind interface.

We dissolve the karmic impressions of the past f*cking up your future.

We upgrade your identities.

And we do it all by focusing on six main areas:

  • Mastery of the Nervous System 
  • Mastery of Energetic & Emotional Alchemy 
  • Mastery of Mind 
  • Mastery of Perception & Discernment
  • Mastery of Pain/Pleasure via the Senses 
  • Mastery of Relational Presence & the Field

And we do it all for joy, in joy, with joy. 

Because that's the secret sauce that hijacks you out of "working on yourself" and into ENJOYING being human.

💥 What People Say 💥

Testimonials from graduates of previous Trainings with Kara-Leah

I Am No Longer Afraid To Be Fully Me

Kylie Harris, New Zealand

"I have found a deeper appreciation for life and all of the emotions we experience, all of the ups and downs. Rather than avoiding or suppressing the sadness or grief I have let myself fully feel into it. If I feel fear or anxiety I let myself fully embrace it and get curious about what is behind it. I also feel like more of me is coming out. I am no longer afraid to be fully me and I feel much more love and acceptance for all of me."

A Practical Application for Aligning with Reality in an Accessible Way

Andrea Villarrubia, Mexico

"If you are seeking practical, real-life tools, practices, and teachings for spiritual awakening, you will find them with Kara-Leah. She has organized essential teachings from Classical Tantric Yoga along with her own embodied learnings and process, honed from years of experiential practice. The result is a practical application for aligning with reality in an accessible way, whatever your personal path in this lifetime."

The Integration I've Found Has Been Amazing

April Waldman

"I am so grateful to Kara Leah for her guidance, presence, and teachings. I have been studying Kashmir Shaivism for about a decade but never got very far because it never made sense. The integration I've found through my work with Kara-Leah has been amazing. There is an ease in motherhood, my relationship with my husband, my work, my health, and a deep acceptance and gratitude of life. The grace that has opened from aligning with these teachings is so beautiful and profound. You truly don't want to miss this opportunity."

I Have Finally Come Home

Monique Macfarlane, New Zealand

Forty days ago, I stepped on to a Direct Realisation Tantra Immersion with Kara-Leah. Rooted in the classical path, my world was, blown open. The foundation that was built inside me, through those transformational six days, and the time since then, has given me an overflowing abundance of strength, power, compassion, peace, processing capabilities and most of all has allowed me to flourish... in the truth that I am love. I have finally come home."

Tuning into Essence Nature

Tania Lavcanski, Australia

"Learning Tantrik teachings has shifted things for me that were stuck. Having had lived experience with C-PTSD, I found it difficult to integrate all the philosophy I studied and practices I did on the mat into my daily life. Tantrik practices have shifted this immensely for me. I am finding myself integrating practice into life, tuning into Essence Nature, and allowing myself to fully feel every experience."

But you'd like to know more. Read on...

  • How much time does this Course require?

    It's not about the time; it's about the focus. There's a two hour webinar every week, plus you'll practice every day, and interact with the Cohort on Telegram. The key aspect is to apply the Joy Rebel View to what you are ALREADY doing - which isn't about more time, but rather about more focus. That's what we train for.

  • Tantra is about sex right?

    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.

💥 More on the Joy Rebel Path 💥

  • The Joy of Awareness

    We often think that WHEN that happens, THEN I'll feel this. We operate from a place of conditioned joy - dependent upon circumstances. This path emphasises practices and tools to recognise and access the inherent joy available to us in every moment, no matter what is happening.

  • Realize the Self

    Who are you? Really? Underneath it all? Discover how to use your direct experience to investigate the nature of who and what you are. This isn't something you learn, but something you discover, feel and know. This is the process of self-realization and is the foundation for this path.

  • Resolve your Shit

    When we don't have the capacity to fully feel whatever is happening to us, imprints and residues are stored in our energetic, mental/emotional and physical bodies. Learn practices that support the digestion and dissolving of this conditioning so that you experience yourself as integrated and whole again.

  • Learn View Teachings

    These are the most critical aspect of any spiritual path, and often the most overlooked. Learn HOW to perceive reality and the nature of Self in order to maximise the potential of realizing directly WHO you are, whilst also resolving trauma and patterns. Learn the difference between Absolute View and Relative View and how to navigate life skilfully through application of View.

  • Receive Practices

    Students will learn a variety of Practices including Ucchāra Practice, Orientation to Awareness, Open-Eyed Meditation, Deep Listening, Shiva/Shakti Embodiment, The Equality of All Phenomena and More. Recordings of these practices will be supplied to all students. Students will also learn the difference between formal and integrated practice, and how to create the conditions for daily practice.

  • Join a Community

    Join a nationwide (global!) community of practitioners supporting each other to become Joy Rebels in the middle of daily householder life. Our community connects via the Telegram messaging app. Community members support each other to 'do the work', show up to practice, and celebrate the wins.
