Thursdays, 12:00 - 13.30 (Maine, USA time)
Vajra Body Cohort
The Vajra Body path recognizes the body and its energies as the foundation of realization. In the tradition of the Mahāsiddhas, spiritual development is not separate from physical vitality—radiant health, strength, and longevity are essential supports for awakening.
This cohort integrates modern scientific understanding with the wisdom of Tantrik Ayurveda (Siddha Medicine) and Daoist energy medicine, offering a complete and practical approach to cultivating a resilient, energized, and long-lived body.
Rather than rejecting the body, this path refines it—developing a stable, powerful, and well-regulated system capable of supporting deeper states of practice and realization.

About the Teacher
Dharma Bodhi (Kol Martens)
Dharma Bodhi began practicing yoga at seven years of age. In his teens he moved into practices of Chan Buddhism and Daoism received through his Chinese martial arts teachers in New York. After completing his chiropractic degree he studied in an Oral-Practice Tradition of Non-Dual Śaiva Tantra, taking initiation into one of the Daśnami Orders of practice from India. In 1996 he complete ācārya training under his Śaiva gurus. This training emphasized traditional Kundalinī Hatha Yoga and a progressive system of Meditation, along supportive studies in ritual/pūjā and yoga texts. Since graduating as a Śaiva ācārya, he took refuge with a great master of Bönpo Dzogchen meditation, and studied with him by taking multiple trips per year to his monastery in India for a period of 8 years. He studies both Dzogchen meditation & yoga (trul khor), and Dzogchen preliminary and advanced texts. Both his Śaiva and Dzogchen masters gave him the task of teaching these systems stripped of the unnecessary aspects of the cultures and languages they are found in. His Dzogchen master also gave him the task of translating two Tibetan texts. One of which is finished and the other is in process. He now lives with his wife, Sahaja Dakinī, and their two children in rural Maine, USA. He is developing a practice hermitage in the wilderness of Maine and a European teaching center on the border of Italy and Switzerland.
