💥 My invitation to you

Step into the Joy of Awareness now!

Wanna be a Joy Rebel? Wanna live from JOY no matter what?

Yeah. I know what you're thinking.

"Joy? Right now? Have you seen the world?"

The political dumpster fire. The climate grief. The cost of living is eating you alive. The relationship that broke you open. The diagnosis you didn't see coming. The slow, grinding exhaustion of just... keeping up.

I hear you. And I'm not going to tell you to toxic-positivity your way through it.

Because that's not what this is.

Ok, but let me back up.

You've been on the spiritual path for EONS. 'Working on yourself for years.

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

You've Marie Kondo'd your trauma. Microdosed your gratitude. Bookmarked 10,000 YouTube videos on manifestation.

I've got something you may not have tried.

Unless you've already been a diligent student of Abhinava Gupta or Kṣemarāja. In which case — good on you. But if not...

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

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

What if Joy wasn't something you had to earn on the other side of all this suffering — but was actually the very ground you're standing on, right now, in the middle of all of it?

That's the teaching. According to Non-Dual Tantrik Shaivism, the Joy of Awareness is the inherent nature of the Universe — including yours. Not the fake-smile kind. Not the "love and light" bypass. The real kind. The kind that can hold grief and rage and terror and still not collapse.

I know this is true because I'm living it. Road tested, kicked the tyres, been through the fire. And now here I AM.

And I want to take YOU with me.

What being a Joy Rebel actually involves

We train. Hard. But we enjoy it — think Rocky on those Philadelphia steps, Daniel-san waxing on and waxing off until muscle memory becomes spiritual destiny.

We take the raw material of your life — including the awful bits — and we APPLY the teachings and practices that open you to Joy in real time. Not later. Not once things settle down.

Now.

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 for joy, in joy, with joy.

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

Oh — and one more thing. This path moves you out of the hyper-individualized spiritual navel-gazing of late-stage capitalism and back into something bigger: your service and contribution to the world.

It's not about you anymore, darling. It's about the world.

(You don't exist the way you think you do anyway — and we get into that too.)

Want some of that? 

Join us. 

Let's be the JOY the world needs! Because Together we Rise.

💥 What happens when you say yes

Real people. Real results

Don't miss out on the joy that's possible for you!

Liz Podolski

"Working with Kara-Leah exceeded every expectation I had. She held loving, non-judgmental space while gently guiding me to uncover layers of feeling — all the way down to the root of my suffering, a core childhood wound I'd always been afraid to revisit. I'd been through therapy and so many different spiritual paths trying to heal it. What I found with Kara-Leah was something different: direct yet immensely loving, and profoundly safe. The full three-month container was doing its work the whole time — building the trust that made two big breakthrough sessions possible. I've since embraced the Tantrik view teachings and I'm on the path. I've let go of comparing myself to others, needing to do more, have more, prove myself. At 56, that is so liberating. I got clarity on my core intention in this life — just to be kindness. If you're ready to be free of self-created suffering, Kara-Leah is such a great guide. Show up honestly, take responsibility for your part, and the rewards are awesome. Don't miss out on the joy that's possible for you."

💥 You've Done the Work. Now Choose Joy.

because this is for you if... 💥

  • You're done circling the same spiritual loops

  • You're willing to show up, practice, and be curious

  • You want tools that work in real life, not just on the cushion

  • You're ready to stop managing your experience and start meeting it directly

  • You suspect there's something deeper available than what you've accessed so far

💥 This Will Challenge You. Fair Warning. Own that!

Because this ISN'T for you if...

  • You want a passive experience — something to consume and shelve

  • You're not willing to practice daily, even imperfectly

  • You're looking for Neo-Tantra or sexual techniques

  • You're not open to having your understanding of reality genuinely challengedlo

💥 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 dare to be seen, show up to practice, and celebrate the wins.

💥 What happens when you say yes

Real people, real results. Working with KL takes you places!

I feel so much more love & acceptance for all of 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."

There is an ease in motherhood, my relationship with my husband, my work, my health, and a deep acceptance and gratitude of life!

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."

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."

Working with KL has given me an overflowing abundance of strength, power, compassion, peace, processing capabilities & most of all has allowed me to flourish!

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."

The Nitty Gritty

What I expect of you as a Joy Rebel in Training

  • Attend or Watch the Weekly Webinars (6 in total)

    This is where I lay out the focus for each week, plus get to know each & everyone of you so I can give you individualized support as you determine which View Teachings & practices you need to apply to open into the Joy of Awareness. Yes, they are recorded. AND it's so much better when you come live, because it's not just about what you GET but also about what you GIVE.

  • Connect to Community via Telegram

    This is where I give you real-time coaching on being a Joy Rebel as you live out your daily life. Connect with other Rebels, celebrate your wins, and share resources. You're expected to show up and share yourself, whilst being generous to others. We're all in this together.

  • Practice Daily

    You'll be given oodles of practices and teachings to choose from, and I will help you determine which practices & teachings are appropriate for how your body/mind complex is grokking reality. Your job is to apply those practices and teachings on the daily. And yes, I give all kinds of hacks on how to effortlessly weave practice into your life no matter how busy you think you are.

💥 Almost ready? Let's clear up any hesitation

  • When are the webinars & do I have to attend live?

    The webinars are on Fridays at 2 PM PST, starting May 22 and running for six weeks. We have an integration take a breath gap on June 26, and finish on July 3. You don't have to attend live - they are all recorded.

  • 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.

  • Can I pay in instalments?

    Yes, you can pay over three months. Make sure you click the Sign-Up button for Instalment plans.

  • Do you offer scholarships?

    Sometimes - email me using the link below my profile to make a request.

  • Can I email you my questions?

    Yes, you can. Use the email link under my bio below.

  • I've done plenty of trainings. Nothing has ever really stuck. Why would this be different?

    Because most trainings give you information. This one gives you a different way of seeing and being in the world. YOU have to apply that, and I hold you accountable and cheer you on. The reason things don't stick isn't because you're broken or undisciplined — it's because knowledge without daily embodied practice doesn't rewire anything. It just adds another layer of interesting ideas on top of the same old patterns. Joy Rebel Tantra Training is built around application. Every week we take the teachings directly into your body, your nervous system, your daily life. The Telegram community keeps you accountable in real time. And I personally help you figure out which practices are right for where YOU are — not a generic prescription for everyone. This isn't something you consume. It's something you live.

Meet your Teacher & Guide on the Path

Joy Rebel Coach & Tantrik Yoga Teacher

Kara-Leah Grant

I am joyfully, passionately devoted to the path of awakening and liberation via the teachings of Trika Shaivism (Tantrik Yoga) and have been for decades. I completed a 1000-day Ucchāra practice in 2021, and have learned directly from Christopher Tompkins, Christopher Wallis, Harshada and Shiva Rea — some of the most respected teachers in this lineage alive today. I'm not teaching theory. I'm teaching applied Tantra, what I've lived, tested, and applied in the middle of real life — as a mother, a writer, and someone who has been through the fire more than once. I've written three books, published hundreds of articles, and my work has reached millions of people across the world. My focus is always the same: helping you practically apply Tantrik teachings and practices to your actual life — not someday, not once things calm down, but right now, in whatever is happening. That's what Joy Rebel Tantra is — and what every course in this Toolbox is built for. The path I've walked, mapped, and road-tested, so you don't have to figure it out alone.

💥 Not quite ready for the full Training?

Start with the Joy Rebel Tantra Webinar Series • The Relationship Edition — three live sessions for $22 that give you a direct taste of the teachings, the transmission, and what it feels like to open into Joy. And here's the thing — when you're ready to jump into the full Training, your webinar investment counts. You'll already know this is real.
