Teachings of the 64 Yoginīs: A Three-Month Immersion
Tantra Illuminated’s flagship offering, the Three-Month Immersion is a profound journey into the heart of classical Tantrik practice and philosophy, guided by renowned scholar-practitioner Dr. Christopher Wallis (Hareesh). For over a decade, this course has served as a gateway to transformative personal and spiritual awakening.
This year's Immersion will be focused on the 64 Yoginīs, the Vātūlanātha Sutras, and The Chummās. The Yoginīs are central figures in certain Tantrik lineages. Their teachings, often transmitted orally, emphasize direct, unmediated experience and the embodiment of divine consciousness.
We will dive into the Vātūlanātha Sutras, and Chummā-saṅketa-prakāśa, which present esoteric teachings believed to be imparted directly by enlightened Yoginīs. These teachings, composed in vernacular languages rather than classical Sanskrit, highlight the importance of accessibility and direct transmission in spiritual practice.
Each Sunday, participants gather for a 2.5-hour live group call, where teachings and practices are offered in a way that speaks directly to real-life challenges and the path of awakening. In addition to the main sessions, students join small peer-led discussion groups, and are supported by mentors or practice buddies, creating a deeply connected and supportive learning environment.
To fully engage in the Immersion, students must commit to a daily practice of at least 30 minutes, and agree to uphold the Immersion guidelines (see below). This commitment fosters a potent field for growth, anchored in consistency, sincerity, and shared intention.
The Immersion has been running for over ten years, and students invariably cite it as one of the more transformative experiences of their lives. Showing up consistently to practice in community, with access to an experienced guide, students can go deeper more quickly than ever before.
“Awakening is available anywhere you look really. But if you seek it here, I trust you will find hearts of gold, expert facilitation, teachings with unknowable depth and a community that might just feel like home, as it does for me. ”
Following the three months of formal Immersion, there is a more informal three-month period of integration and preparation for retreat with your practice buddy and regional study groups. The in-person retreat serves as the culmination of the Immersion. The Immersion retreat will take place from the 7th - 11th of April, 2026 at Mount Madonna Center, California.
You will need to complete the Foundations of Tantrik Yoga course to participate in the Immersion. If you have not yet done so, you can join the Tantra Illuminated Online as a Sadhaka member and complete the course prior to the start of the Immersion in September.
We value attention to detail and will consider this in assessing your application. Therefore we encourage you to always read instructions and materials closely before requesting assistance.
We welcome your application to join our flagship course, where we hope you'll not only expand your spiritual horizons but also form lifelong bonds with a supportive community of like-hearted individuals.
“What a ride! I feel so deeply blessed to have had this opportunity. Witnessing Consciousness wake to itself all around me. Amazing, intense, painful and ALL of it so perfectly beautiful! Nothing will ever be the same again.”
