Throughout time, the Masters have taught that, in order for true Initiation to take place, one must ‘Die before one Dies’. This is allegorical, but becomes a matter of actual experience in shamanic practice and teachings- one must (somewhat) literally, go through the death and dying process, in order to be truly Reborn.In this retreat we will be exploring this profound, personal and intensely relevant Shamanic Initiation from a variety of deeply personal and experiential perspectives.

For five days we will immerse ourselves in the study and practice of the Chinese Taoist Internal Martial Arts. Through study, reflection and practice, we will dive deeply into these profound arts to find places within the body-mind of deep internal stillness, extraordinary clarity, and a softness that belies strength, power and energy. Whilst these arts certainly teach martial skill and application, their true benefit is as spiritual systems akin to the levels of development one finds within classical yoga and meditative traditions.
