Balinese Tantric Yoga and the Psychology of Awakening: Book discussions and meditations with Putu Yudiantara

Many traditions offer techniques and philosophical frameworks, and the Dharma Śūnya contains endless treasures of that kind. Yet this book does not dwell on methodology. Instead, it looks at how we approach those methods. It asks what attitudes shape our longing, what subtle stories guide our rituals, and how our earnest desire for transcendence can quietly turn into another performance, another role, another way of avoiding the intimacy of our own being.
This gathering at Usada Bali becomes an invitation to sit with those questions in community. We will move slowly through selected passages, letting the text act as a mirror. We will explore how Balinese Tantric insights on remembrance and forgetting resonate with depth psychology, how the mind constructs distance, how longing pulls us home, and how silence teaches more than any doctrine.
Short meditations will accompany the discussion, not as techniques to master, but as gentle ways of inhabiting the inner space that the book points toward.
This is not simply a talk. It is an encounter with the part of you that has been waiting for a long time. A chance to listen to the symphony beneath the noise, and perhaps to recognize, within that silence, the presence you have been seeking all along.
