Way of Water:
Advanced Kriyā Yoga - Level II
Esoteric Science of Mastering our Subtle Energies
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
In this retreat you will build upon the solid foundation of Kriyā Yoga practice established from practicing Level I. You’ll learn 4 new groupings of Kriyā Yoga techniques.
You’ll practice advanced Kriyā Yoga techniques to deepen your practice of Kriya Yoga itself, and to further learn ways to fuse Kriyā Yoga techniques into other practices in order to “turbo-charge” the power and therefore the results of the “ordinary” practices – deity yoga, mantra japa, muñcara/phowa, etc.
You will also learn how to safely open yourself to receive the radiant transmission of celestial beings such as great masters, dakinīs, enlightened deities, etc. And how to incorporate aspects of our “self” that have been exiled from our experience. These lost fragments of “self-energy” will be re-connected to our continuum in order to experience a deeper sense of spiritual wholeness or completion.
Students will also learn a set of Kriyā’s specifically for use in dark retreat. These practices will aid in the generation of Mandalas of Light in retreat giving the practitioner a deeper sense of having “brought down” the sacred mandala (samaveśa), as well as attaining greater ease in abiding in the mandala of awakened reality during normal daily living between practice sessions (integration meditation).

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.
