We invite you to join us for an 8-day Ayahuasca and Kundalini Yoga retreat from August 20 - 27, 2021.
This retreat will be held at the Tantraya Center, and our group will be small to maximize individual attention for each participant. This is a chance for deep individual work, with a strong emphasis on practices designed to awaken the full potential of the medicine inside of ceremony and support the integration of all aspects of our higher selves into our daily lives.
Our work with the medicine is heavily influenced by the Tantric traditions. TAN means to expand, stretch. TRA means to liberate. AYA means the little death. So we expand and liberate through surrender and recognition, gaining realization in the after-death-like state. Before each ceremony, we do Tantric Puja, calling on allies, Gods, Goddesses, ancestors, and helpers from the plant and spirit realms to empower, heal, and liberate the spirit.
Our Shaman, Paul Diamond, is initiated into a multitude of lineages, and offers an unprecedented degree of spiritual and energetic protection, based on over 20 years training in the world’s wisdom traditions. When travelling in the inter-dimensional realms, it is necessary to have an experienced and knowledgeable guide. Safety is paramount when dealing with the unseen. Participants will experience a field of love, and a safe intimate space conducive for Kundalini awakening, deep realizations and liberation.
Tantric Yoga and Ayahuasca: Ultimately concerned with the awakening of the evolutionary potential lying dormant in every person, we aim to raise the serpent force, Maha Kundalini, the Goddess Power. In Patañjali's Yoga Sutras IV.1 it is stated, Janma auṣadhi mantra tapaḥ samādhijāḥ siddhayaḥ, "Accomplishments may be attained through birth, the use of herbs, incantations, self-discipline or samadhi.” Here, we will be exploring the extraordinary potential of this powerful combination - herbs, self discipline, incantations and samadhi, via the powerful technology/combination of ayahuasca, ancient tantric yoga techniques of energy work, deity manifestation and puja, nyasa (deity led body protections and armour), and corrrect use of asana, Mantra, mudra, and banda for kundalini awakening. Correct and safe arousal of this dormant energy can lead to increased energy, awareness and alertness, mental clarity and the opening of higher intuition. Also possible are deep understanding regarding the nature of the universe and one’s place within it, healing powers and abilities, potential awakening of super-normal abilities, the yogic ‘Siddhis’, plus enlightenment to greater and lesser degrees .
Please join us for this powerful and deeply transformative retreat at the Tantraya Center in the Sacred Valley.
Total cost is $1500 (USD) and includes all activities, lodging, food and transportation to/from Cusco.
