The Mysteries Illuminata - 5 day Actualization Retreat in Thailand

The Mysteries Illuminata
A rekindling of your brightest Soul
Located at The Lighthouse EcoVillage on Koh Tao, Thailand

This retreat at its essence, is a revival and a reuniting. Inspired by the ancient rites and traditions of The Eleusinian Mysteries, we pay homage to the customs and traditions of our earliest ancestral knowledge. Together we will embark on a journey to liberate energy of the past, and to embody the Self and attune to one’s 'Infinite Now'; reigniting the ember within. We will create and embrace in community that enables us each to propagate our profound illumination out to the rest of the world.

The Eleusinian Mysteries were secret, yearly initiation rites in ancient Greece at Eleusis dedicated to the the myth of Demeter and Persephone. The themes of the mysteries centered on deep loss, a pursuit and search into dark depths, and a transformational return. Initiates were blessed with a transcendent understanding of themselves and the inherent divinity within, and obtained freedom from the fears and vices that had previously hindered their lives. The rituals involved purification, fasting, expressive dramas, and more, with an ultimate procession leading to a ceremony with a psychoactive sacred drink called Kykeon. This journey collectively brought those who undertook it through a portal that resolved their minds into the highest states of consciousness.

Illuminata is a Latin-derived feminine name meaning "filled with light," "illuminated," or "enlightened". It symbolizes radiance, spiritual wisdom, and guidance. Historically associated with religious contexts and saints, it denotes a person who brings knowledge and enlightenment.

Here, your guides bridge the wisdom and sacred practices of the past with modern day understandings of neuroscience and psychology. Moving forward in ourselves and as a species, carrying the blessings of our predecessors who have brought us to this powerful Kairos.

Endnote:
We have arrived in the Kairos, the decisive moment, of consciousness evolution. It is spoken by our Mother Earth through the wind, felt in her waters, and known by her pulse. Many are feeling into the inflection point we are at, the action potential signaling a return to spirit. After passing through many millennia of Chronos, linear time, the striving and soul sifting done globally have allowed us to come full circle. It is time to reawaken and reimagine the connection once known to our most primordial and quantum nature. The moment to join together and unify our individual efforts is upon us. We can collectively call in Aion, the eternal unending time, to understand and integrate our true infinite Selves. Only through collective efforts and community can a movement into the New Earth be achieved.

“I therefore humbly ask for the blessing of the Gods of time as I embark on this short journey into their meanings. May you grant us entry into your mysteries.” -Mathew David Segall
