Igor Vamadeva Kufayev is an artist and spiritual teacher devoted to the transformative potential inherent in human birth. Following a radical awakening in his mid-thirties, culminating in embodied Self-recognition, he has served as a conduit of transmission, guiding seekers through the Kuṇḍalinī process and the integration of heightened awareness.

Rooted in Tantric Śaivism and informed by direct energetic transmission and somatic integration, his work bridges scholarship, poetic expression, and lived realization. His immersive gatherings are known for catalyzing profound inner shifts.

Originally trained as a painter, Igor is the author of Camatkāra: The Hidden Path (2023) and KUṆḌALINĪ: The Goddess as the Power of Self-Recognition in Tantric Śaivism (2026). He lives in Mallorca, Spain, with his partner Amrita Ma Devi and their three children.

To be called back to the sacredness of life, when life is deemed expendable as a flicker in time — what can truly restore a shared existence, evolving on harmonious ground?

LIFE — Living Intentionally Fully Embodied — is a return to what holds. A reassertion of the value of life when it is most in question. A course born for these times.

LIFE entails:

• 14+ hours of recorded transmission, unfolding across ten modules, emerged from the activated field of Shakti, the self-revealing Power of Consciousness
• Three guided meditations rooted in the wisdom teachings of Tantric Kashmir Shaivism
+ Bonus: Pre-Recorded Question and Answer Sessions for intimate Self-reflection

All who are ready to meet and guard existence without remainder — sincere seekers, and those who guide others — teachers, therapists, facilitators — who wish to inhabit this life fully are invited to this foundational encounter.

To stand and serve with renewed certainty, in the recognition that you are the Body of God.

On this International Day of Yoga, we bow in deep reverence to the sacred teachings of union — passed down through the awakened heart of the one established in full Self-mastery.

May our practice be steeped in the truest understanding of what this journey asks of us, fully revealing the bliss of our own being.

We invite you to an interactive Q&A-based online Darshan with Igor Kufayev on Saturday, 27 June 2026 at 6-8pm (CEST).

9:30 pm (Delhi) | 7 pm (Athens) | 6 pm (Berlin) | 5 pm (London) | 12 pm (New York) | 9 am (LA)

This gathering offers an entry point into the living field of the teaching—an opportunity to connect directly with Igor, experience the support of the Sangha, and explore the questions that feel most alive for you.

This space is created for anyone who carries the seed of a pressing question in their heart—a place to let it come into the open, and perhaps dissolve something in the process, for yourself and for others. By simply allowing ourselves the possibility of this inquiry together, we create a wave that “reverberates in the field… where something begins to move in the direction where that shift is absolutely necessary.”

For those still weighing whether this is their year to join a program, it is a fitting and beautiful place to begin. And for companions around the world, this gathering offers a rare opportunity to come together.

A recording will be available for everyone who registered, including those unable to join live, to watch as many times as you like until the next online event is aired.

Three Gatherings. One Presence.

At the height of summer, we meet again at Gut Saunstorf in Wismar, Germany (July 13–20) — to enter the sacred Śaiva teaching of Krama-vāda, "The Fierce Path of Krama": a momentous exploration of the never-released, hidden teachings of sequential dissolution through the twelve descending Kālīs.

Continuing south to Freiburg (Aug 21–23) for an expanded weekend-immersion — perfect for newcomers — as we return with deep anticipation to a place which has held a special significance within this work.

And we arrive, for the first time, in the Mediterranean wilderness near Montpellier (Sept 6–13) — on grounds that mystics and wayfarers of the spirit have wandered for centuries, drawn perhaps by the same inexplicable pull that calls to us now.

Each immersion offers twice-daily meditation, Tantric methodologies, a deepening into the heart — and the rare gift of practice held in a coherent group field. For what shifts in the room internally ripples out — into families, communities, rekindling harmony in the collective fabric of life.

INFO & BOOKING: www.igorkufayev.org/events

✦ ✦✦ If you are new to this work and feel something stirring — our newly created Vibrant Self Community, both beautiful and intimate, opens the door gently.

A yearly subscription currently includes access to 'Seeing Through the Heart', the foundational course and prerequisite for all immersions, and a loving introduction to the art of Tantric Practice.

A beautiful time to begin — and to return.
The door is open.

Many of you, after stepping out of the intimacy of an immersion and back into the whirlings of life, have been waiting, inquiring, longing for a space that continues to hold the heart's connectedness — together with a space for those who deeply sense the thread of connection but have not yet been able to be in the presence of Igor Vamadeva Kufayev.

We received your call, and our hearts are full with excitement for what is finally here: Our very own online platform, Vibrant Self Community.

A protected and nurturing place, to discover, to deepen, to dwell — and above all, to provide and foster a Kaula — a spiritual family.

Within this community, Igor Vamadeva Kufayev will share intimate Tea-Time Reflections and One-Mukhi-Rudrakshas of Wisdom as direct transmission.

It is also a space for open conversation, wonder and recognition — where what rises and overflows can find expression.

Members will be the first to hear of upcoming gatherings and events, and those moving through spiritual emergencies or difficulties can seek and receive guidance.

The Wisdom of Ayurveda is woven throughout, and a dedicated Kundalini Book Corner offers a home for deeper exploration of this treasure.

We warmly invite you to join us in this space — to be part of something sacred, poetic and enlivening. Together, let us bring authenticity and refinement, creating a true online haven for intimate and transformative exchange.

This online Darshan is also an ideal opportunity for those who have been following this work from afar and feel drawn to engage more deeply with its transformative and energetic dimension.

Because it is in the intimacy of one's perception, time morphs – it quickens, it slows, it becomes still… It carries the qualities of moving forward, of loss and return, of tracing life in its minuteness and in its expanse.

This July, be part of a momentous exploration. 7 days, spent in the field of Shakti, at the Modern Monastery Gut Saunstorf, Germany to immerse in the never released, hidden tantric teachings of Krama-vāda, the Doctrine of Sequential Dissolution.

Despite their profound subtlety, these teachings are not a reserved scholarly enterprise for the well-versed, but a dynamic to be recognised here and now, at any given stage—as the play of sequential dissolution through the 12 descending Kālīs.

It is a rare gift today, to have a transmission teacher who can fully and with skill merge the knowledge of century-old scriptures and thread them, through the perception of the timeless, into the context of today's lived experience.

This is truly not a moment you want to miss.
