Details of this retreat

An intensive retreat to explore death, dying and rebirth through Tibetan Buddhist practices, ayahuasca (with Paul Diamond), meditation, energy work and ritual.
We will work with the teachings and methods that prepare us for death, help us die consciously, and guide us toward liberation - in this life and beyond
Through study, practice and direct experience we will examine the nature of mind, the process of dying, the intermediate state, and the potential for rebirth or liberation.

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.

You will receive fundamental teachings on:

Working with Deities and Intermediaries of Death- Santa Muerte, Hecate, Persephone and Kali.

Ancestor Work and Ancestor Magick.

The Redemption of the Ancestors.

The teachings and practices of the Bardo (intermediate) realms.

The practice of the ejection of consciousness at Death (Phowa).

Teachings on Karma, Akash, and freedom from incarnational bondage.

The books of the Dead from various cultures.

Working intensely with Mother Ayahuasca, the Vine of the Dead, and other plants of Death and Dying (henbane, wormwood, datura etc).

Death and Dying Contemplative work.

Powerful practices that induce knowledge, perception and experience of death, dying and the world of the Dead.

This course promises to be intense, powerful, and deeply transformative. You will come as close to the Death and Dying process as one can come without actually passing over, and will have the gnosis, and technology to successfully navigate it, when you do inevitably and eventually pass….

Please join us if you feel called to this profoundly intense, personal and necessary work.

Please note; this is not a course for beginners in the medicine. Applications will be considered from those with similar or relevant experience, but this is NOT a course for absolute beginners.

We look forward to living, dying and Being spiritually Reborn with you.
