Way of Water Cohort
The Way of Water is a subtle, devotional, and energetically refined path that integrates Pūjā (ritual practice), Deity Yoga, and Kriyā Yoga into a unified stream of transformation.
This cohort is designed for practitioners who have already entered these practices and are ready to deepen, refine, and correctly interpret their experience—particularly in working with subtle energy, altered states, and devotional ritual.
Unlike more general meditation paths, the Way of Water emphasizes fluidity, sensitivity, and attunement—learning to move with inner experience rather than forcing it, while developing discernment and precision.
Ongoing guidance is essential on this path, as practitioners encounter a wide range of energetic, sensory, and visionary phenomena that require clarity, grounding, and proper orientation.

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.
