Kuṇḍalinī Sādhana retreat: maui, september 2023
A joint retreat with Śabda Institute
and
Heart of Consciousness
In this immersive retreat, we will explore the mystery, science, knowledge, and understanding of Kuṇḍalinī, the force and Grace of awakening to the highest truth.
This immersion is for anyone interested in nondual Śākta and Śaiva traditions, with a focus on attaining the correct understanding of Kuṇḍalinī. We will explore the origins of the word and its meaning in non-dual Śākta and Śaiva traditions.
With a true understanding of Kuṇḍalinī, we will be equipped to employ this knowledge in any path, any facet of life and in any circumstance since nothing in life or existence is outside the scope of Kuṇḍalinī śakti.
This immersion is deeply empowering and transformational through the exploration of progressively deeper concepts, practices, and intimate discussions with like-minded practitioners.
About Nityakash:
Nityakash (Eternal Space) is a stunning five-acre property on the island of Maui which serves as a permanent retreat facility for our community. A life-size statue of Nityananda is installed in the meditation hall to further enhance the energy and presence of this great master for all who attend immersions there. The house and sacred gardens are beautifully adorned with Sacred Art. The meditation room is a śaktidhāma (pronounced shaktidhaam), and means Abode of Śakti. The entire property is saturated with the liberating power of the Gurus of my lineage, Bhagavan Nityananda and Swami Rudrananda. The property is in the middle of lush jungle with a lovely and easy stroll to dramatic cliffs that overlook the ocean. Radiant sunsets are the daily delight when viewed from the lanai.
Over four and a half days, we will learn the Kuṇḍalinī Stavaḥ from the Rudrayāmala Tantra. This deeply devotional hymn to Kuṇḍalinī awakens within us the necessary will to dissolve the small self at the altar of her magnificent feet to rise us, rouse us, make us formidable warriors on the inner journey and empower us to awaken to her absolute brilliance.
