You’ve accumulated insight. You’ve had glimpses of your true nature. But the deeper unfolding — Unmeṣa — is when that wisdom becomes the ground of how you live, lead, relate, and choose in every moment.
This mentorship offers a rigorous, relational, lineage-rooted container that supports the maturation of awakening into embodied expression.
Not as a concept you return to in meditation.
Not as a peak experience you try to sustain.
But as the steady, unshakeable foundation of your life — your work, your relationships, your leadership, and your inner clarity.

The Threshold You're Standing At
You’ve walked this path for years.
You’ve practiced, studied, healed, reflected, and cultivated real depth.
You’ve touched moments of clarity— sometimes subtle, sometimes unmistakeable — even if they haven't fully stabilized.
And yet… something in you senses there is still more to unfold.
The clarity you access in practice doesn’t always stay steady in the areas of life that matter most —
in relationship, in conflict, under pressure, in old patterns, in responsibility, or in the moments when contraction returns.
It’s not that you’re stuck.
It’s that you’re evolving.
You’re standing at the threshold between knowing the truth and living the truth.
Between recognizing the true nature of reality— however subtly — and allowing that recognition to shape your choices, your leadership, your reactions, your relationships, and the way you meet the world.
This is the heart of Tantric embodiment —
it's not a technique…
it's not a somatic protocol…
but a way of living where awakened awareness becomes the organizing intelligence of your life.
It is when:
• your view stays present in the complexities of daily life
• habitual patterns lose their grip
• clarity expresses itself through your actions and relationships
• your leadership is rooted in presence, not effort
• life itself becomes your practice
This is the shift from:
“I remember the truth” → “I live from the truth.”
Unmeṣa — the unfolding — is what happens as this expression matures.
When the truth you’ve touched begins to permeate:
your body
your speech
your reactions
your decisions
your leadership
your intimacy
your way of meeting life
This is the threshold you are standing in.
And this mentorship is designed to guide you through that unfolding —
into a life grounded in the wisdom of Oneness
To understand the purpose of this mentorship, it helps to understand the Tantric meaning of Unmeṣa
What is Unmeṣa?
In the non-dual tantric tradition, awakening isn’t something that happens to you — it’s the recognition of your innate awakeness.
Unmeṣa is the unfolding of that awakeness into your lived experience —the gentle blossoming of what has always been here, often beneath the surface of your patterns, responsibilities, and daily life.
For seasoned practitioners and leaders, this mentorship becomes a year of steady practice, refined inner work, and embodied exploration — not to become something new, but to digest the patterns that obscure what is already true, and to support the real integration of awakened awareness into your life as you are actually living it.
Over time, the presence that once felt occasional becomes familiar, reliable, and quietly trustworthy.What begins as glimpses of clarity gradually matures into an ongoing orientation — one that naturally expresses itself in how you relate, work, lead, parent, love, and move through your world.
This immersion isn’t a conceptual study of non-dual Tantra.
It is a practice-forward, lineage-informed container where the teachings are explored through direct experience, real-world application, and ongoing support — especially for those who carry responsibility in their relationships, their work, and their impact.
Unmeṣa is the opening, deepening, and quietly reshaping everything from the inside out.
The Unmeṣa Immersion & Mentorship is designed for seasoned practitioners and leaders who are already deeply engaged in their inner work and whose presence, choices, and responsibilities impact others. This includes those who guide, support, or influence people through their work — whether formally or informally.
THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO COMMIT TO A YEAR OF DEEP, SUPPORTED STUDY AND PRACTICE
This Immersion & Mentorship Is For:
- Therapists, counselors, and healing professionals who want a deeper, non-dual foundation for supporting others — one that integrates insight, embodiment, and presence without bypassing or fragmentation.
- Coaches, facilitators, and space-holders who want their leadership to arise from embodied awareness itself, rather than from methods, techniques, or tools.
- Leaders, managers, and organizational change-makers who navigate complexity and want clarity and steadiness at the center of their decisions.
- Innovators, creators, and ethical thinkers in fields like tech, AI, design, education, and social change -- those who carry responsibility for shaping systems, culture or the future.
- Seasoned Practitioners and guides who are already on a mature spiritual path and who sense they are ready for a deeper unfolding — a shift from recognizing truth to living it.
If people look to you for clarity, presence, support, creativity, or direction — in your work, your relationships, or your community — this immersion was created for you.

Yearlong Practice Community
Living Tantra Project: Integration Through Daily Life
A full year of practice themes, meditations, and real-life experiments designed to bring the teachings into the living fabric of your daily experience.
These four pillars form the structure of the Unmeṣa immersion. Below, you’ll see how each unfolds throughout the year.
For practitioners, coaches, therapists and leaders drawn to live and lead from the embodied view of non-dual Tantra.
Here’s how the Unmeṣa Mentorship unfolds over the course of the year
An Overview of The Year-Long Journey
The first phase establishes the ground of clarity — the inward settling that allows awakened awareness to become steady and lived.
Nimeṣa: The Inward Turn (Months 1–6)
In the tradition of non-dual Tantra, nimeṣa refers to the turning inward — the settling of awareness into its own ground. For seasoned practitioners and leaders, this phase is where clarity becomes embodied, karmic patterns are digested, and the philosophical view becomes lived rather than understood.
The first six months create the foundation for a Tantra-informed life.
Together we:
- Work through the Six Karmic Realms (one per month), identifying how each pattern manifests in your life, relationships, leadership, and decision-making.
- Learn practices from the classical upāyas of Trika Śaivism — somatic grounding (āṇavopāya), subtle-body and attention-based practices (śāktopāya), and resting in awareness (śāmbhavopāya). These become the tools for digesting karmic patterns without bypassing or fragmentation.
- Establish the non-dual view as the orienting lens for your practice and life — clear, embodied, and relevant to the complexity of modern lfie.
- Explore the layers of karma: personal, ancestral, familial, social, collective — understanding how each expresses itself in your inner life and outer responsibilities.
- Work with sankalpa and ethical foundations, clarifying intention and revisiting ethics as gateways to genuine spiritual maturity, not moral performance.
- Study the nature of spiritual experiences — including the different types of awakening openings and how to recognize the real fruits of practice.
This phase gives you the stability, clarity, and inner alignment necessary for the outward blossoming to unfold with integrity.
In the second phase, the inner clarity begins to express outward — shaping how you live, relate, lead, and meet the complexity of real life.
Unmeṣa: The Outward Blossoming (Months 7–12)
If the inward turn reveals the ground of awakened awareness, unmeṣa is its natural expression — the outward blossoming of clarity into how you live, relate, work, and lead.
In these six months, we deepen and expand the practices established in the first half of the year, while opening into the foundational cosmology of non-dual Tantra in a way that is grounded, experiential, and directly supportive of your life.
We explore:
- A practical study of the 36 tattvas — Not as abstract philosophy, but as a map of how consciousness expresses through your thoughts, emotions, body, relationships, choices, and environment.
- Why this map matters in modern life and leadership — how the tattvas illuminate your patterns, clarify decision-making, help you track contraction and expansion, and offer a framework for responding to life with steadiness instead of reactivity.
- Direct, embodied practice with the tattvas — making the cosmology a lived experience rather than a conceptual one-- supporting you in conflict, communication, boundaries, creativity, and relational clarity.
- Deepening and refining the practices from the first half of the year — with more nuance, subtlety, and capacity to recognize awareness in the midst of complexity.
- Exploration of classical recognition practices (drawn from texts like the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra, without requiring prior knowledge). These simple but powerful practices support you in recognizing your true nature as awareness in everyday moments — not just while meditating.
- The ability to sense the movement of awareness in real time — learning to track your internal state with precision so you can stay grounded and present even when life becomes demanding.
- Integrating Tantric insight into life and leadership — bringing the clarity of the view into communication, boundaries, relationship, creativity, responsibility, and all forms of influence.
This phase is where the teachings become lived expression — where awakened awareness begins to shape how you move through the world, hold responsibility, and engage with the people you serve.
Resources and Core Texts
Study in this mentorship is integrated, supportive, and experiential — not academic or heavy. Readings are suggested (not required) and woven directly into the monthly curriculum so they deepen, rather than overwhelm, your practice.
We draw from a small number of carefully selected texts that illuminate the view of non-dual Tantra and support the embodied work you’ll be doing throughout the year:
- Tantra Illuminated by Christopher Wallis — a clear and accessible introduction to classical non-dual Tantra, ideal for grounding the philosophical view.
- Foundational classical texts, including selections from works like the Tantrasāra, and the Vijñāna Bhairava Tantra presented in a way that is directly relevant to practice and daily life.
These readings are offered as companions to practice — clarifying the view, supporting the cosmology we explore, and helping you integrate the teachings into the fabric of your daily life.
You do not need prior familiarity with these texts. Everything is introduced in a grounded, experiential way that supports your journey.

How the path has unfolded for others
"Lisa, you’re a full-spectrum, amazing mentor. You live and embody this work so deeply, and it shows. You’re a living example of awakening, and your talents and skills have helped me grow immensely. I cannot say enough about how this process has moved me.”
Marielle Taylor

Your depth of knowledge, practice, and ability to hold incredibly complex topics while making them digestible is unmatched.

Patrice Christensen
Living a Tantra-Informed Life
A defining element of this mentorship is a structured, lineage-rooted method for working with karmic patterning — a precise approach that combines the Six Karmic Realms with the classical upāyas of Trika Śaivism.
This is a direct, experiential process for digesting karmic conditioning through recognition and stabilizing awakened awareness as the ground of your life.
You will learn to work with:
The Six Karmic Realms
Clear, archetypal lenses that illuminate how conditioned tendencies arise and shape your lived experience.
The classical upāyas of Trika Śaivism
A sophisticated process for transformation:
-
Āṇavopāya — body-based methods: grounding, breath, somatic awareness
-
Śāktopāya — attention-based methods: perception training, subtle-body work, mantra
-
Śāmbhavopāya — recognition-based methods: effortless awareness, resting in the ground of being
These are not abstract teachings — they are traditional methods for meeting and digesting patterns without repression, bypassing, or fragmentation.
Abiding in true anture as the mechanism for transformation
n this lineage, patterns are not resolved by effort or analysis.
They dissolve through recognition — by remaining in awakened awareness as they arise, allowing karma to unwind at its origin point.
A lived moment-to-moment process
Rather than applying tools, techniques and methods to life situations, you learn to stay rooted in true nature as experience unfolds — the condition in which clarity stabilizes and conditioning naturally loses its force.
This framework is unique to this mentorship.
It is a precise, experiential pathway for maturing awakening — turning insight into embodiment, and embodiment into lived, everyday freedom.
This mentorship is a held container for deep maturation, relational support, and lineage-informed practice.

What if your greatest contribution to humanity is your own awakening?
Hi, I’m Lisa — psycho-spiritual counselor, long-time meditation teacher, and founder of the Tantric Arts Collective and the Living Tantra Project.
For more than two decades, I’ve supported spiritual practitioners, coaches, therapists, teachers and leaders whose inner work had already taken them far — but who sensed the deeper maturation they longed for wasn’t accessible through personal-growth alone.
My work lives at the intersection of contemplative practice, psycho-spiritual integration, and classical non-dual Tantra. I support people in living and leading a Tantra-informed life — where awakened awareness becomes the ground from which you meet your life — in your relationships, your work, your responsibilities, your leadership, and the subtle moments where your inner and outer worlds touch.
My approach is shaped by consistent practice and study in the Trika Śaivim and Śrī Vidyā traditions. I am an initiated kriyaban in Paramahansa Yogananda’s lineage of Kriya Yoga, and my tantric training includes close study with Christopher Wallis, the Swami Lakshmanjoo Academy, the Vimarsha Foundation, and ongoing, deep practice under my guru, Sri Yuganandanata of the Śrīvidyā Tantra Peedom in Kerala, India.
But more than anything, my teaching is shaped by lived experience — digesting my own karmic patterns, integrating awakening experiences into my life and learning how to let the tantric view orient my actions and responses so that my life reflects the same clarity I experience in practice.
If you’re ready to live and lead from the wisdom of Oneness — not as a concept, but as the ground of your life — the Unmeṣa immersion is the container where that becomes real.

Addtional Reflections from Past Students
"I wouldn’t be where I am on this awakening journey without your care and guidance, Lisa. Your ability to mirror what I needed with compassion and individualized expertise made all the difference. This mentorship gave me the foundation I needed to navigate my path gently, even through the hardest moments. It was life-changing."
Rachel Barone
"What stands out for me is Lisa's humility. It's clear that she teaches from many years of her own disciplined practice and has a high level of mastery and skill as a teacher, but she comes across as down-to-earth and modest, making the learning process feel comfortable and engaging. I deeply appreciated her generous, precise articulation of these intricate teachings. I found her guidance both accessible and profound."
Megan Moore
"As a spiritual teacher who spent many years in ashrams, I've been exposed to incredible spiritual teachings and practices. With this experience to draw from, I can unequivocally say that Lisa's program is transformative. She masterfully blends spiritual practices with foundational concepts, presenting them in a format that's both accessible and profound. Her meditations, are both precise and purposeful and, provide invaluable context that guides us through the intricate energetics we explored in each session."
Kumari Mullin
"From the very first session I was drawn in by the way Lisa shared the non-dual teachings and I have such a deep appreciation for having been part of this program. This program is more than just an informational course, it’s a body of experiential wisdom that was like nourishing music to my soul and couldn’t have come at better time in my life. I loved this program and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of non-dual tantra, connect more deeply with themselves on a more spiritual level, or just embrace a transformative journey guided by a kind and skilled teacher."
