Creating Sacred Space
The Fundamentals of Vastu
Like it or not, we are immersed in a massive mandala of energies that are out of our control, even for advanced yogins and meditators.
These macrocosmic energy patterns exert definite and felt effects to a great degree on our health, mental state, longevity, sense of ease or tension, and even our luck and finances. This is why the ancient masters of India gave us the science of placement within space and time called Vāstu Śāstra.
If we learn how to apply the basics of this ancient intuitive science, we can avoid many obstacles that arise from the disharmony between our individual energy and the larger energy patterns of our home and land.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
Join Dharma Bodhi for this 3-hour class that will teach you how to identify auspicious pieces of land, houses, and architecture through the application of a number of principles from the science of Vāstu Śāstra. You’ll also learn about matching your land’s shape, contours, water features, and house design, with your unique purpose (nadi) in order to create confluence and support for your life-force and your projects.

About the Teacher
Dharma Bodhi (Kol Martens)
Dharma Bodhi began practicing yoga at seven years of age. In his teens he moved into practices of Chan Buddhism and Daoism received through his Chinese martial arts teachers in New York. After completing his chiropractic degree he studied in an Oral-Practice Tradition of Non-Dual Śaiva Tantra, taking initiation into one of the Daśnami Orders of practice from India. In 1996 he complete ācārya training under his Śaiva gurus. This training emphasized traditional Kundalinī Hatha Yoga and a progressive system of Meditation, along supportive studies in ritual/pūjā and yoga texts. Since graduating as a Śaiva ācārya, he took refuge with a great master of Bönpo Dzogchen meditation, and studied with him by taking multiple trips per year to his monastery in India for a period of 8 years. He studies both Dzogchen meditation & yoga (trul khor), and Dzogchen preliminary and advanced texts. Both his Śaiva and Dzogchen masters gave him the task of teaching these systems stripped of the unnecessary aspects of the cultures and languages they are found in. His Dzogchen master also gave him the task of translating two Tibetan texts. One of which is finished and the other is in process. He now lives with his wife, Sahaja Dakinī, and their two children in rural Maine, USA. He is developing a practice hermitage in the wilderness of Maine and a European teaching center on the border of Italy and Switzerland.
