COURAGE: The joy of living dangerously! with Clint Kapp.

March 10 – 17, 2012

A journey in Yoga, Tantra and Personal Empowerment from the Left Hand Path Perspective.

A chance to be authentic, to move as the Self was meant to move; slowly… and in conjunction with the breath… peacefully, with no conflict; a very healthy practice of Self-Centeredness. A chance to Become… the definition of which is as personal as the person. Establishing balance between the mind, body, emotions and senses.

An entirely sensuous experience, learning about the the ultimate goal of yoga; The Realization of the Self. Timelessness evaporates the mundane down here… a taste of the always been – Is – and always will be… The Immortality of the Self and the realization of it thus begins to permeate one’s entirety… life takes on new and exciting meanings, because we have taken the time to nurture our Selves in ways which are obscured by modernity, technology and distance.
