WHAT IS SAMĀVEŚA

Integration is not a destination.
It is a way of seeing.

Samāveśa— समावेश — is a Sanskrit term from Kashmir Shaivism meaning immersion, absorption, integration. It points to the moment when recognition is no longer an insight held in the mind, but a lived reality moving through the body, the relationships, and the ordinary texture of daily life.

This is the work I have been doing quietly for years: weaving Kashmir Shaivism's nondual philosophy together with somatic inquiry, parts work, and psychospiritual integration. Samavesa is the container where this teaching lives fully, without apology.

This introductory cohort is the foundation — the shared language, the conceptual scaffolding, the embodied understanding — that makes everything else possible. It is also the beginning of something larger: a training I am building for those who want to bring this work into their own facilitation and teaching.

"Not transcendence away from life — but recognition as life."

FOR WHOM

This is for you if

You have a sincere spiritual practice but find that certain parts of your life — your relationships, your body, your patterns — remain untouched by it.

You are drawn to Tantra and Kashmir Shaivism but want something psychologically rigorous, not just philosophically beautiful.

You are a yoga teacher, therapist, or facilitator who wants to bring tantric philosophy and somatic inquiry into what you already offer.

You are ready to do real work — not inspired content consumption — in a small, intentional community held by someone who takes this seriously.

A prerequisite for this cohort is basic familiarity with somatic resourcing and nervous system regulation. You do not need to be an expert — but you need to know how to find ground.

THE CURRICULUM

Eight calls. One arc.

A complete foundation.

We meet every two weeks on Thursdays — 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK. Each call runs 90 to 120 minutes. Between calls, you have time to practice, integrate, and bring your real experience into the room.

Opening — July 29, Gurupurnima

Meet & greet, container setting, orientation to the arc of the work. We begin on the full moon dedicated to the guru — the one who dispels darkness

Shiva & Shakti — Transcendent vs Immanent

The foundational polarity of Kashmir Shaivism. What does it mean that consciousness and energy are not separate? How does this change how we meet our own experience?

The Thirty-Six Tattvas

The map of manifestation from pure awareness to the densest experience of matter. A framework for understanding contraction, not as failure, but as the play of consciousness.

The Hridaya — The Heart

The Hridaya as the seat of recognition. Not a sentimental heart, but the radiant, pulsating center of awareness in which all experience arises and returns.

Self-Inquiry

The practice of turning awareness back toward its own source. We explore self-inquiry not as a technique but as a living orientation — and how it integrates with somatic and parts work.

Consciousness, Nonduality, Contraction, Recognition & Integration

The key concepts that underpin all of Samavesa's work. What is consciousness? What is nonduality, practically speaking? What contracts, what recognizes, what integrates?

The Five Tantric Bodies & Embodiment in Tantra

An introduction to the framework at the heart of this teaching: the physical, mental-emotional, energetic, environmental (vastu), and void bodies. We will return to this map again and again.

Closing Integration — November 4

We return to where we began and see it differently. Open Q&A, integration, and a look at what comes next for those who want to go deeper.

SCHEDULE

Every other Thursday,
July through November.

All calls take place at 10am Pacific / 1pm Eastern / 6pm UK / 7pm Central European Time.

APPLICATION

This cohort is by

I am intentional about who is in the room. This is not gatekeeping — it is care for the container. I want to know a little about you, your practice, and what draws you to this work before we begin.
