About the Program
Discover the Timeless Practice of Meditation Across Cultures
At the heart of Ontogony’s vision lies a fully integrated spiritual path—one that honours the totality of our being: body, mind, energy, and spirit. Central to this journey is the practice of meditation, a sacred gateway to healing and higher consciousness. Through it, we turn inward to reconnect with our essential nature and open to the vastness of spiritual realization.
Finding your meditation path is an intimate and personal journey because we are all unique. Across the world’s great traditions, many doors lead inward. This series is an invitation to explore those paths with openness, reverence, and discernment. For some, meditation arrives as a karmic calling; for others, it comes as a gift of grace. In every case, it is a dharma calling. The question is: which voice is in attunement with your soul?
Meditation is a universal phenomenon found in the sacred traditions of every culture. While diverse in technique and expression, all meditative paths point toward a single goal: awakening to the truth of who we are, and the more profound mystery of existence.
Join Carlos de León for a profound and experiential journey through the world’s most revered meditative traditions. Through teachings, personal reflection, and guided practice, this new series illuminates how meditation serves as a unifying thread in humanity’s spiritual heritage—offering keys to personal transformation and collective awakening.
“Your meditation path is a karmic calling, graced by destiny and guided by Dharma. Listen deeply; which voice resonates with your soul?”
~ Carlos de Leon
Why This Program is Unique
A Comparative & Experiential Approach
Unlike programs that focus on one lineage, this workshop offers a wide-angle view of the world’s most transformative meditative paths—Christian, Jewish, Sufi, Hindu, Buddhist, Dzogchen, and more—through both scholarly insight and guided practice experience.
Grounded in Spiritual Transmission
Taught by Carlos de León, who brings over five decades of spiritual practice, clinical expertise, and mystical study across multiple traditions.
Designed for Modern Seekers
Each tradition is explored in a way that respects its roots while highlighting its relevance for contemporary life, offering practical tools and living insights.
Part of a Larger Spiritual Vision
This series is not a standalone curiosity but a deep component of Ontogony’s integrated vision of conscious evolution and healing.
Understanding the Foundations & Core Practices
In this series, we build a spiritual foundation for understanding meditation as a universal human endeavour. We begin with key concepts—what meditation is, why it matters, and how it changes us—before diving into three ancient traditions that approach the Divine through devotion, contemplation, and mysticism.
- Session 1: What is Meditation? Explore the meaning, purpose, and science behind meditation—and how it supports healing, presence, and awakening.
- Session 2: Hindu Meditation – The Yogic Union: Enter the yogic path and discover the seven primary forms of Yoga that lead to union with the Divine.
- Session 3: Buddhist Meditation – Wisdom & Compassion: Learn Buddhist techniques such as samatha, vipassana, and metta—practices that liberate the mind and open the heart.
- Session 4: Zen Meditation – Simplicity & Non-Effort: Delve into Zen’s unique blend of Taoist and Buddhist principles, with its emphasis on direct experience, simplicity, and humour.
- Session 5: Dzogchen Meditation – The Great Perfection: Explore the Tibetan view of innate awareness (Rigpa), a path of effortless presence and realization beyond form.
- Session 6: Jewish Meditation – The Kabbalistic Way: Engage with mystical practices rooted in the Kabbalah through Hebrew letters, Divine Names, love, and kavannah (intention).
- Session 7: Christian Meditation – The Path of Inner Silence: Experience the contemplative Christian path—from Desert Fathers to Centering Prayer—anchored in stillness and Christ-consciousness.
- Session 8: Sufi Meditation – The Dance of Divine Love: Enter the heart-centred world of Sufism through breath, mantra (dhikr), and devotional merging with the Beloved.
- Session 9: Taoist Meditation – Alchemy of Consciousness: Discover how Taoism uses body energy transformation and cosmic flow recognition to return to our True Nature.
- Session 10: Modern Approaches to Meditation: Explore contemporary integrative practices informed by neuroscience, therapy, and modern spirituality.
Each session will include: key principles, spiritual goals, core techniques, and a practical guided experience.
