Traditional & classical tantra teachings and retreats

What is traditional tantra?

Traditional tantra refers to the Hindu and Buddhist tantric traditions of India and the Himalaya, transmitted through texts, lineages and teachers over more than a thousand years. Their practices centre on meditation, mantra, visualisation, ritual and philosophical study, such as the non-dual teachings of Kashmir Shaivism. Sexuality plays a far smaller role than in modern Western neo-tantra.
