Marco Dinh
MARCO (he/him) is a Meditation & Tantra Teacher, mentor, breathwork instructor and martial arts teacher. His path lead him through months of monasteries and ashrams, dedicating his life to the path of opening deeper and deeper to mystery itself. The first decades of his life were quite "unspiritual" in a sense of limited consciousness for anything beyond the physical realm, deeply embedded in the corporate world. The change came about in his first silent meditation retreat where a profound understanding of love literally overwhelmed him, disabling him to ignore the calling of the divine. He teaches and shares from a dance of traditions, from classical Kashmir Shaivism, Tibetan Buddhism, Sufism as well as modern breathwork, somatic therapy and bodywork.
His love for allowing people to truly embrace themselves, feeling the deeper invitation to open up in a space of nourishment and safety lead him to support the Tantric Joy Festival this year.
1. PRESENCE IN ENERGETICAL TORRENTS - Enriching the magic of every moment - So much beauty and joy is constantly flowing around us - sometimes we become oblivious to them and sometimes we are simply lost - forgetting ourselves and what we deeply need. What we miss, is presence, centeredness. We will explore the two core forces that constantly create, maintain, and destroy the Universe - consciousness and energy. Through meditation, breathwork, and somatic practices, you'll learn to dance with presence within the arising energetical torrents. By rooting ourselves deeper in the present moment, we'll be able to embrace the gifts of life from a richer and more nourishing place. The key intention: To actually enjoy the festival more, to open further in every workshop and encounter, to allow our actions to be guided from a place of deep connectedness. Dancing, no nudity, touch, energy work, no partner needed, movement
2. TANTRA, THE CREATION OF REALITY - Our Reality is not just a series of events that happen around or to us; it's a reflection of our innermost thoughts, emotions, patterns and circumstances. If you ever felt powerless to change your circumstances, you yearned to shape your reality into something more meaningful and fulfilling. Tantra is about becoming intimate - not only with another person, but with Reality itself.
In this workshop you will learn experientially the reality shaping power of consciousness. Through immersive experiences and playful exercises, you'll witness how a small shift in consciousness can completely change how you perceive a similar event. You will dive into practices to be more aware of your state of consciousness, how to shift it and how that leads you to become more intimate with Reality. This workshop is designed to empower you to reclaim your Reality - to move from your “habituated” range of existence towards an “aspired” one. Dancing, semi-nudity, touch, energy work, no partner needed, movement.
Marco is also a part of the Emoteam of the festival.
