Mantra Sadhana

Mantra is one of the most efficient methods of realization. A Tantrik mantra used for liberation is actually the energy-body of an enlightened deity. Through regular practice of the mantra, we can transform ourselves into the enlightened experience of our chosen deity and end our samsara forever.
If this is true, with so many sadhakas practicing mantra daily, why are there not more people becoming realized? The answer is that though mantra practice is quite widespread, the science behind it is not well-known, and without this essential knowledge, the unlimited potency of mantra remains untapped.

Sacred Romance

The "Yoga of Relationship" is quite possibly the toughest of all the Dharma paths, but is also potentially the most rewarding. Most practitioners will find themselves in a relationship for the majority of their lives. Intimate love relationships create the best environment to see your limitations and to transform them. 

This cohort will take a deep dive into every aspect of spiritual relating - partner compatibility, communications, discovering sexual appetites, creating truly unshakeable intimacy, devotion and love, how to host each other's differences while cultivating a mutual practice path, supportive partner practices, crafting a functional relationship contract, handling disagreements, sexual "yogas," and more...

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.
