Lights of Kailash
A Tantric Path of Self Realization

Cycle of 5 Years of Teaching
Residential Retreats with Michalis Mourtzis
(Swami Chandrashekarnanda)
First Year
Arachova, Greece March, 21st-26th 2026
This series of teachings is an in depth approach to the wonders of the tantric traditions of India. The tantric traditions are among the most profound and transformative spiritual paths in the world. Rooted in ancient wisdom, Tantra is not merely about rituals or esoteric practices—it is a holistic system designed to awaken our full potential as human beings.
Tantra teaches that everything in life is sacred and that spiritual realization is possible through embracing, rather than denying, the world around us. Its practices include meditation, mantra, breathwork, visualization, and energy work, all aimed at expanding consciousness and dissolving inner limitations.
Today, these teachings are more relevant than ever. In a world of stress, disconnection, and constant distraction, Tantra offers a way back to wholeness. By learning to integrate body, mind, and spirit, we can experience deeper intimacy, creativity, and presence in our daily lives. Tantra invites us to live fully—awake, empowered, and connected to the sacredness of existence

* This retreat is designed so that everyone can participate, regardless of their level in meditation and is addressed to those who want to connect more deeply with themselves and evolve consciously.
