Overview
The Art of Meditation from the Tantric Tradition
An Online Workshop with Carlos Pomeda
Sunday, December 7 • 11:00am–1:00pm Pacific Daylight Time (Recording Available)
Tuition: $30
Join renowned scholar and meditation teacher Carlos Pomeda for an inspiring and immersive journey into the heart of Tantric meditation. In this workshop, Carlos draws from the luminous teachings of Kashmir Shaivism, to reveal a vision of life infused with wonder, joy, and the presence of the divine.
This transformative session explores a set of profound and time-tested practices designed to move beyond the surface of experience and open the doorway to the sacred pulse of awareness that animates all of life. The Tantric tradition understands that our physical and subtle bodies are exquisitely designed for spiritual awakening. Through its brilliant methods—working skillfully with the breath, mind, and inner body—we learn to access the innate luminosity that is always available within us.
Carlos will guide you step by step into these subtle yet powerful practices so you can experience meditation not as an escape from life, but as a direct entry into its deepest essence.
In this workshop, you will learn:
- Meditations on spaciousness and the art of resting in pure awareness.
- Core Tantric attitudes that elevate and reshape the entire experience of meditation.
- Meditation techniques that bring clarity, presence, and spaciousness into daily life.
Whether you are new to meditation or a long-time practitioner, this workshop offers accessible yet profound tools to enrich your inner life and support awakening in the midst of everyday activity.
Discover the art of meditation as the Tantric sages envisioned it—an exploration of the living, breathing presence of the sacred in all things.

Carlos Pomeda: Originally from Madrid, Spain, Carlos has been steeped in all aspects of the yoga tradition during more than 40 years of practice and study. He spent 18 of those years as a monk of the Saraswati order, under the name Swami Gītānanda, including 9 years of traditional training and practice in India.
During this time he learned the various systems of Indian Philosophy and immersed himself in the practice of yoga, becoming one of the senior monks of the tradition and teaching meditation and philosophy to tens of thousands of students around the world. He combines this experience and traditional training with his academic background, which includes two Masters Degrees: one in Sanskrit, from U.C. Berkeley (where he has taught) and another one, in Religious Studies, from U.C. Santa Barbara. He is currently working on a book on the topic of “Karma and the Journey of the Soul”, as well as an updated History of Yoga and a new translation of the Śivasūtra, an important Tantric text of the Kashmiri tradition .
Carlos currently lives in the US, and travels extensively around the world conducting a variety of retreats, courses, seminars, workshops and lectures on the Wisdom of Yoga and related subjects.
As a teacher, Carlos is renowned for the breadth of his knowledge and the clarity with which he conveys it. His great love of the Indian yoga traditions, his insight, his humor and his deep connection with his audiences give him the ability to transmit the deepest scriptural teachings in a way that is clear, meaningful and applicable. Studying with Carlos is an enjoyable and transformative experience.
