Tantra is EYE OPENING and LIFE CHANGING work!
Like so many sacred traditions that have been revealed to western cultures over the past century, Tantra has been sensationalized and twisted perhaps more than any other. Rooted in the ancient shamanic practices, Tantra is so vast that it defies any universally accepted definition. The word “Tantra” comes from the Sanskrit language meaning to “loom, warp, and or weave together”. Where many spiritual traditions separate duality into the acceptable and unacceptable, Tantra, through the development of our “spiritual eye” reveals that there is no separation between the appearance of opposites and that all phenomena are sacred. It is the spiritual practice and methodology of “weaving” or “looming” the separate into a universal whole. From form and emptiness, dark and light, sound and silence, the dependent idea of a self to the realization of non-self; in Tantra, all is one… for where is GOD not?

Led by Gregory Besek
Gregory Besek is a lifelong spiritual practitioner and religious mystic. Raised a Roman Catholic, Greg began his extended spiritual training in 1972, becoming a solitary monk and taking the Hindu Brahmacharya vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. In 1974, he was accepted into a Hindu Ashram where he lived for 5 years as a monastic under the tutelage of Guru Maharaj Ji of Hardwar, India. Here, he studied and practiced the essence of the Hindu Vedic lifestyle of service, satsang and meditation until 1980.
As a result of a spontaneous spiritual experience in the 80’s, Greg was led into the mystical world of Shamanism. During the next 30 years, he studied with many renowned individuals in this field including Michael Harner of The Foundation of Shamanic Studies and Aama Bombo of Boudhanath, Nepal. He further studied with shamans of Peru (Don Oscar Miro Quesada), Tibet (Dr. Larry Peters), Native America (Don Cardinal), Celtic (Tom Cowan), Korea (Hiah Park), Romani Gypsy King (Patrick Jasper Lee) and Mongolia (Sarangerel). In 1994, Gregory began a teaching center called “The Center Pole” whose guiding light was in “keeping ancient spiritual traditions alive!” Through The Center Pole, he conducted over 250 workshops, along with numerous lectures, and seminars for people along the east coast helping those attending to follow their deepest desire, a oneness with their own heart.
