Practise, celebrate and chant PARA SHAKTI – “the Supreme Power”, “the Absolute Divine Force”, “the Transcendent Energy” – in this passage into spring.
Let whatever can dissolve dissolve on the Path of Kali, and blossom in this spring energy.
Sound Yoga and Tantra with Emmanuelle Cueff
The weekend of 12–14 March 2027: a journey to the heart of Tantra, just as spring awakens in the Wachau.
As the days grow longer, the first buds burst open and life springs forth from the earth, a new force awakens within us as well. Through sound, breath, mantra and tantric dance we accompany this awakening: from the silence of winter to the vitality of spring, from dormant energy to its conscious emergence.
In love with sound and vibration
A lover of sound and vibration, and touched since childhood by the immensity of the dance of life, Emmanuelle Cueff is a seeker who loves to return to the roots of things, as if to draw ever closer to the nectar of creation.
She favours the path of experience, and her fields of exploration and research include VIBRATION, movement, sound, nature, human nature, the cosmic nature of humankind, and the mysteries of energy and consciousness.
For 16 years now she has been teaching the path of the body, energy and sound as a catalyst towards Presence – a path of reconnecting with spontaneity and of awakening consciousness.
From the organic to the cosmic
From the most organic, which reconnects people with their bodies, their emotions and the natural world … to the most cosmic … she invites you, individually or in a group, to explore the different layers of being. She unfolds the potential of a practice that reconnects us both deeply and subtly with our inner world, opening a path of embodiment that also reveals itself in the outer world. Inner and outer, which in reality are one.
The Yoga of Sound and the tantric path
She invites you to experience a return to Presence through profound tools drawn from her lived experience of the Yoga of Sound and Kashmiri Shaivism, tantric paths, and the visualisations of the Kaula Path.
In this tradition the body itself is the temple of Kali, so there is no need to reject or deny the body in order to know union with the Divine. On the contrary: nothing here is considered pure or impure, but rather as dynamics that support our evolution. Kali is the absolute reality that lies more or less dormant within us. When she begins to vibrate again, she floods us with the desire for union with the Divine – the very desire that transcends all other desires and reveals itself as pure love.
Kali – the great liberator
Kali is the foundation, the ground on which and from which all the teachings and practices Emmanuelle shares spring forth. This took shape in her – in body, heart and spirit – through her spontaneous and immediate recognition of the Mantras of Kali, and later of the Visualisations of the Kaula Path.
Kali’s terrifying aspect, often misinterpreted and misunderstood, is equal to her absolute love. Kali is the great liberator within you and beyond, arising from boundless and unconditional love. The power of this love can cut through, dissolve, and lead us to liberation through the acceptance of death. We then realise how much this laying bare of our being – in the complete truth of what it is in this moment – leads us to let die what may die, until rebirth.
Death, life … life, death … one and the same work. The acceptance of death as a lever towards freedom, towards LOVE.
The energy of Kali takes on many names as one journeys through the great spiritual paths.
And what is described above is only a fragment of Emmanuelle’s lived experience.
The practice opens its door
She opens the door to the practice for you. A practice nourished by deep and sincere experience, which unfolds in many ways in the moment itself. Her teaching is the alchemy of her lived experience, insights and realisations, which she shares through the breath, the body, movement, organic and tribal dance – all the way to Tandava, the tantric dance of Kashmir – through sound, the mother sounds, bija mantras, mantras, spontaneous chanting and tantric visualisations, all the way to rediscovered SPONTANEITY.
She guides and accompanies you as you reconnect with energy – your energy, unique and yet so universal … from energy to consciousness.
Tools for your own freedom
She shares with you these wonderful tools that have guided her and opened her to greater wholeness over the years. They will help you discover your own keys to open your own inner doors – towards the freedom of being true and authentic.
And, in the end, to be neither the key nor the door, but the spaciousness rediscovered within once the door is open.

Find out more about Emmanuelle
Emmanuelle is, in my view, one of the finest tantric musicians of our time.
Her music draws you into an almost surreal trance – a gentle, profound journey through the universe.
She doesn’t waste any energy on advertising or social media. All her energy goes purely into her art. And that’s exactly what you can feel: that’s what makes her music so powerful and authentic.
Come with us. Let’s journey with her to the farthest reaches of the universe, into the very heart of the heart, and back again.
