Turning Poison into Nectar: Tantra and the Transformation of the Heart

Sally Kempton and Marc Gafni will guide a practical, hands-on exploration of the essential tantric methodology around transforming negative emotions into liberating energy and finding the gifts in shadow energies.

Sally Kempton is a master of the delicate art of integrating enlightened wisdom with daily life. As a mature practitioner of the tantric path of unfolding kundalini, she not only articulates the subtle insight of the tantras, but generates a field of energy through which others are able to access their own inner wisdom and meditative experience. A former swami, she is the author of Meditation for the Love of It, and writes the popular Wisdom column for Yoga Journal. Sally teaches internationally, and is a core teacher in the Integral Spiritual Center. Her workshops present subtle teachings with humor and depth, and create a space that allows deep breakthroughs for many of her students.

Dr. Marc Gafni holds his doctorate from Oxford University and has direct lineage in Kabbalah. He is a Rabbi, spiritual artist, teacher, and a leading visionary in the emerging World Spirituality movement. He is a co-founder of iEvolve: The Center for World Spirituality, a scholar at the Integral Institute, and the director of the Integral Spiritual Experience, as well as a lecturer at John F. Kennedy University. The author of seven books, including the national bestseller Soul Prints and Mystery of Love, Gafni’s teaching is marked by a deep transmission of open heart, love and leading edge provocative wisdom. Gafni is considered by many to be a visionary voice in the founding of a new World Spirituality and one of the great mind/heart teachers of the generation.
