Tom’s 2019 Teaching Schedule
For the last few years I have steadily decreased the number and length of my workshops. This year I will offer only two workshops—a one-day event in New York and a two-day event in Seattle.
If you are interested in experiencing my work directly, by being in the live sound field, I strongly suggest you to consider attending one of these events. While I cannot say for sure that I will not teach any public workshops after this year, I am strongly leaning in that direction.
The Thousand Petaled Lotus
New York, New York
September 14th
In this one-day sound immersion we will explore the vast inner worlds of the Sahasrara (the Crown Lotus).
Traditionally this chakra has often been referred to as the Thousand Petaled Lotus due to its complex and intricate vortices that unfold, much like a lotus. These vortices are subtle energy channels that connect us to the transpersonal realms of consciousness (meaning those levels of our being that are beyond our personal identity and physical embodiment). These channels connect to worlds of consciousness that are beyond the confines of normally perceived time and space and can be a source of immense creativity, insight and renewal.
The Crown Lotus is often used as a focus of meditation by yogis and yoginis to enter a unique state of body and mind known as Samadhi, which is characterized by states of high bliss and ecstasy.
While you might indeed experience bliss and/or ecstasy during this Intensive, that is not why we will be undertaking this work. We will be entering into highly refined states of consciousness for the purpose of gleaning new insights and spiritual abilities from the higher realms of consciousness.
Tom will be facilitating this work through his, nearly four-octave range, voice in a series of sound meditations that will allow you to explore, for yourself, the fascinating and enigmatic worlds of your own transpersonal nature.
Come prepared for a life-changing experience.
When: September 14, 2019 1:00PM – 6:00PM

The Upper Rooms
Seattle, Washington
November 9th – 10th
Background
In this two-day Intensive we will enter into a fascinating exploration of the brain’s subtle energy centers (chakras) and its esoteric chamber (the third ventricle). At a mythic level these areas are collectively are referred to as the Upper Rooms.
Drawing from many diverse sources of ancient knowledge, Tom will be merging this with insights from modern neuropsychology to create a context for rapid psycho-spiritual transformation. Furthermore, he will be guiding you through catalytic sound meditations using his nearly four-octave range voice to stimulate your brain’s latent potentials for increased psycho-spiritual insight and abilities.
Tom will be drawing on methods from ancient Egyptian High Alchemy, Siddhas Yoga, Taoism and insights he gained from psycho-navigating of the Multiverse. It was during one of his psycho-navigations that he encountered a field of knowledge he calls The Resplendent Sphere of Blissful Liberation. It is a domain of information that is not currently connected with any spiritual tradition on Earth but has much to offer in terms of activating the brain/mind’s underused potentials.
What you will learn
You will learn where your brain’s primary subtle energy centers are located and where the esoteric chamber resides. You will also experience how catalytic sound can affect these areas for the purpose of heightened awareness, creativity, intelligence and spiritual abilities. Furthermore, you will learn how to continue this work on your own after you leave the Intensive.
What to expect
This will be a very intense energetic experience due to the transformational and healing phenomena that arise when you activate your brain’s primary subtle energy centers and esoteric chamber. Furthermore, you will be directly connected—without the need for an intermediary (i.e., priest, priestess or guide)—to The Resplendent Sphere of Blissful Liberation that Tom will be sharing in the course of this event.
Working with the brain’s potentials in this manner has usually been reserved for advanced practitioners (i.e., yogis or yoginis) and has largely been kept secret. Tom feels, however, that it is time that this knowledge be liberated for the benefit of all humanity—and thus all sentient beings—by providing a safe, non-dogmatic and pragmatic method for unfolding the brain’s esoteric potentials.
In spite of this work’s refined nature, you do not need to have any previous experience with meditation. However, an open mind and a good sense of humor is most definitely required since once your brain’s primary subtle energy centers and esoteric chambers are activated—or their habitual energy states are increased—the blinders to consciousness that you may have acquired will be removed. And this can be a blissful or overwhelming experience depending upon your personal fixations.
Unlike most of Tom’s previous workshops, participants will be given access to a wide range of materials including articles and sound meditations to prepare for this event. You will need to actually read these materials and work with the sound meditations to train your brain/mind to become aware of, and understand, your own internal sensory displays. Your internal sensory displays are a vital key for entering into this profound work and understanding their nature will greatly increase the benefits you will receive from this Intensive. Upon registering for this event, you will be sent a PDF with information on where to find the articles as well as the sound meditations (all of which are free of charge). You will need access to the Internet to receive the PDF and the resources it mentions.
Final Note
As we enter into the 21st Century, it is Tom’s belief that we must acquire new levels of understanding, wisdom and high states of creativity if we are to successfully rise to the challenges of a world in flux. Within this context, access to the Upper Rooms reveals a treasure trove of unused potentials.

For those of you who are interested in the Work but cannot attend either of the events noted above…
Below is something I call a Mind Scribbling and it expresses, in written form, the essence of my work—as I view it. While I use many different modalities to tap into the underused, or in some cases, as yet unused potentials of our human brain/mind, the desired outcome is the same—to transcend and transform our human experience.
Were I never to teach again, I believe you could find the keys to the Work by reading and contemplating the 20 stanzas in the Mind Scribbling I call Kiva of the Heart and Mind. Were you to combine this reading with listening to one, or more, of the many workshop recordings you can find in the Store, I think you would get a good sense of what this is all about.
Kiva of the Heart and Mind
Tom Kenyon
In the kiva of the heart and mind there are unseen rhythms.
Sometimes all is parched upon the land, and one is hard pressed to survive.
Sometimes a sweet unanticipated rain falls like grace from the heavenly worlds,
and suddenly the desert floor—of the seemingly barren heart—is filled with blossoming flowers
and the air is left brimming with the sweetness of new life.
But the cycle of death and rebirth is only one small sliver of this kiva’s vast and mysterious rhythm.
For those who look deeper Into the mirage of their own inner suffering,
there is a place of stillness that is hidden from the world.
It sits like a cave in the deepest recesses of the inner heart and reaches out
to the edge of the horizon—that mysterious place where the opposing forces of earth and sky
meet each other head on.
Few people ever notice their own inner heart for one has to be still and quiet in one’s own mind to enter into this hidden space.
It is here, at the edge of our mind’s horizon, that our pleasures and despairs arise,
fueled by the turbulence of solar storms that pummel the stratosphere
along with the whisperings of star dreams that come to this place from the farthest edges
of the known and unknown universe.
It is also here, in this hidden kiva of the heart and mind, that the whisperings of new dreams from
sleeping seeds within the earth flow to us—striving to awaken us from our slumber.
A swirling vortex of forces from heaven and earth meets anyone who dares to enter this kiva of the heart and mind.
While this kiva has existed from before the beginning of time
and has–and always will be—primordially pure, its entrance has been dug with our own hands
as well as with the hands of our ancestors, and all our hopes and fears have been pressed into its
entrance.
It has been said that there are three tunnels that burrow toward the kiva, but only the last one
leads into its womb-like heart.
The first two lead somewhere else.
The easiest to find Is the one that leads to annihilation and oblivion.
The second tunnel leads to freedom from the earth and opens into a wormhole that leads
into the stars.
The third tunnel is the most difficult to find and even more difficult to open.
The entrance to this tunnel was pressed into place from the worlds and dreams of our ancestors
that stretch back through all of the world’s tormented histories back to the beginning of time when time, itself, crawled like a cosmic serpent from the womb of all things.
Those who choose to enter this tunnel must wrestle with their own demons
as well as with those of their ancestors before they can peer into the diamond light that streams
from the deepest kiva of the mind.
For those who find and open this hidden tunnel,
a new type of freedom is born.
In this freedom both heaven and earth are no longer at odds.
All our hopes and fears are transformed,
and all the seeming conflicts of our life are resolved,
resolved by resplendent rainbows of pure light that flow
from an endless river of healing that always lies beneath the surface of things,
that always lies beneath the surface of things.
Even in the mirage of the barren desert
there are healing waters and resplendent rainbows of light.
Look beneath the surface.
Look beneath the surface of all things–even in the midst of the worst torments of your life.
May we all awaken from our slumber.
May we all drink from the healing waters within,
and may we all gaze upon the resplendent rainbows of light that stream from all things.
