Latihan is a blindfolded moving meditation that connects you to your body, other, and the universal energy that flows through everything.Moving into the Mystery: A Tantric Ritual of Trust and Surrender
In a world that often prioritizes control and logic, Moving into the Mystery offers a profound opportunity to step into the unknown with trust, curiosity, and joy.
This sacred Latihan practice is a blindfolded, moving meditation that guides you to surrender the ego, quiet the mind, and reconnect with the universal life force that pulses through all things.
What is Latihan?
Rooted in the Subud tradition from Indonesia, Latihan is an ancient spiritual exercise of surrender. Traditionally practiced in segregated genders, this modern approach (influenced by Osho) strips away labels, titles, and separation. Here, we connect as humans—beyond gender or identity—allowing universal energy to move us.
Through spontaneous movement, Latihan reconnects you to the intelligence and impulses of your body—the instinctual animal within, your life force energy.
It is a practice of authentic expression, releasing the barriers of intimacy, and navigating chaos and uncertainty with more resilience and trust.
This is about surrendering the ego, stepping into the present moment, and embracing the unknown. Through the lens of Tantric ritual, we cultivate deeper joy, authenticity, and connection through this practice.
The Benefits of Latihan
-Reconnect with Your Body: Awaken the intelligence of your body and its natural impulses, unlocking a sense of truth, wholeness, and wellness.
-Experience Authentic Movement: Let go of control and allow your body to move intuitively, guided beyond your mind
-Release Emotional Blocks: Dissolve fear, anger, and jealousy, creating space for healing and renewal.
-Navigate Uncertainty with Grace: Build resilience and trust as you embrace the mystery of life.
-Euphoria and Bliss: The practice can lead to ecstatic or psychedelic-like experiences of joy and presence.
-Deepen Intimacy: Break down the barriers that keep you from connecting fully with yourself and others.
-Be Fully Present: Drop the stories, labels, and mental chatter, and immerse yourself in the pure experience of being alive.
