YOGA OF BEAUTY
The sublime aesthetic experience, an exceptional form of Tantric Yoga
— with Nicolae Catrina (Adinathananda) —
1st- 4th October 2026,
For the first time in Romanian and in person at the Mayavin center near Bucharest, with simultaneous online broadcast
God is intensely present in the pure and authentic experience of beauty.
Beauty begins where the ego ends.
We will soon post information about the initiations offered in this spiritual retreat.
- The Yoga of Beauty is an ancient tantric tradition through which the experience of beauty (or the aesthetic experience) becomes an ecstatic and, at the same time, extraordinarily rapid path of deification.
- The Yoga of Beauty embraces life in its totality, recognizing and revealing first and foremost the aesthetic aspect of Godliness. It highlights the fact that authentic spirituality and the sublime aesthetic experience are ultimately inseparable and that they spring from the same source. The experience of beauty can easily awaken within us that mysterious and ineffable “thrill” of the Heart which spontaneously transfigures and ennobles everything. Thus, we rediscover our essential being, our true Self (the Absolute Self, Atman).
- Being equally a refined and very effective form of emotional Alchemy, the Yoga of Beauty can offer us a radical, beneficial inner transformation, as well as the direct and lasting attainment of spiritual happiness. Therefore, whenever necessary, it can also be a privileged way of emotional healing and of eliminating possible addictions, traumas, depression, relational problems etc.
- The Yoga of Beauty is perfectly suited for anyone who aspires to live an authentically spiritual life in our modern society. It does not ask us to withdraw from the world, and it can be practiced with complete success within our everyday life, which will thus gradually become a divine life. The unique information and the esoteric tantric methods offered in this spiritual symposium are meant to reveal the secret path of spiritual enlightenment and aesthetic ecstasy through the sublime aesthetic experience.
This spiritual retreat will offer:
- Methods of Inner Alchemy through the aesthetic experience
- Aesthetic meditations: exceptional ways of revealing the spiritual Heart and of realizing the supreme immortal Self, Atman
- Effective methods of emotional and relational healing based on the aesthetic experience
- Tantric and aesthetic methods for considerably amplifying the occult energy of beauty in our consciousness and for pouring this sublime subtle energy into all aspects of our life.
