YOGA OF BEAUTY RETREAT
The sublime Aesthetic experience as an exceptional form of Tantric Yoga
— with Nicolae Catrina (Adinathananda) —
9th-13th July 2025, online
– In everything which gives us the pure authentic feeling of beauty there is the presence of God.
– Beauty begins where ego ends.
- AN EXCEPTIONAL INITIATION INTO THE ESSENCE OF ALL ARTS AND AESTHETICS: SARASVATI, THE SUPREME GODDESS OF AESTHETICS!
- This year’s edition will include for the first time a spiritual journey in the very essence of aesthetics and sublimely inspired arts: the initiation into the esotericism of Sarasvati – the revered goddess of wisdom, aesthetics, of all forms of art (music, dance, literature etc.), of learning, and of all forms of superior creativity.
- As the supreme goddess of aesthetics, Sarasvati embodies the essence of pure and spiritual artistic creativity. Throughout Indian history, She has been the Supreme Muse for countless poets, musicians, painters, sculptors, dancers, and yogis. Due to Her exquisite inspiration and guidance, artistic creations are never just forms of entertainment, but direct pathways to Spiritual Enlightenment. Both the performance, and the “savouring” of the wonders of music, poetry, painting, dance and so on, thus become an extraordinary yoga, a form of worshipping God and His numerous Attributes, a swift and sublime way of transcending the mundane and becoming ecstatically aware of God’s presence in our life.
THIS INITIATION INCLUDES A SPECIAL MANTRA OF SARASVATI FOR THE YOGA OF BEAUTY AND SPIRITUAL AESTHETICS!
- The Yoga of Beauty makes the experience of Beauty a blissful, powerful and rapid path to spiritual perfection. As a particular form of Tantra, the Yoga of Beauty embraces life in its totality, recognizing and celebrating the aesthetic aspect of God. It reveals that spirituality and aesthetic experience are inseparable and spring from the same source.
- Beauty leads the one who is contemplating it in a tidal wave of mystery to that heart throb that spontaneously transfigures and ennobles everything. So, you will meet your profound being, your true, spiritual self that will gradually guide you to the essence of your inner absolute beauty.
- The unique ensemble of esoteric tantric initiations which are offered in this spiritual retreat is meant to reveal the secret path towards Enlightenment through the sublime aesthetic experience, or towards Aesthetic Ecstasy. These initiations will also include powerful aesthetic meditations as an extraordinary path to the essential reality of our immortal Self, Atman.
- Being equally a very effective Yoga of Emotions, the Yoga of Beauty can offer true emotional freedom and allows anyone to pursue and obtain spiritual happiness in an exceptionally direct and durably way. Thus, it can be also a privileged rapid way for emotional healing and recovery from various addictions, relational problems, traumas, worries, depression etc. You will see yourself in a complete new and transfiguring light after the spiritual exemplifications using the special tantric techniques that we will practice together. You will learn to love, to accept and to cherish yourself.
- The Yoga of Beauty is perfectly fit for anyone who wants to live an authentic, genuine spiritual life in our modern society. It does not ask to withdraw from the world, but can be practiced in our everyday life.
- Thus, we can fully enjoy our life while blissfully realizing its true purpose.
