Details of this retreat
We invite you to a unique Lumina workshop, during which we will immerse ourselves in the original technology of our Ancestors, in order to awaken, expand and direct the flow of the Original Energy in our bodies and in our lives.
Lumina in Latin means not only light, but also the source of energy and life. Therefore, our goal will be not only deep healing, but also strengthening the soul and the sacred manifestation of our true Being. We will discover and learn ancient medicine, in order to receive the transmission of the unique knowledge of LUMINA, experience it and share it with others.
Embark with us on a powerful Journey of Transformation and Awakening of the Soul, led by Anand Rudra – a well-known and respected teacher of Tantra and Shamanism, founder of the True Tantra School, son of a Mexican shaman, grandson of a healer of Mexican Yaqui Indians, who combines academic knowledge, practical experience and ancient practices in his knowledge. Ananda's teachings will be reinforced by Moy Covalin – founder of Sandança and Ethnofit, dancer and choreographer whose goal is to bring people closer to dance and share its benefits for body, mind and spirit.
During the workshop, we will combine Archaic Technologies rooted in Tantra, Shamanism, and Pranayama with conscious movement and circle dancing and hypnagogic sessions – visions and sensory experiences that occur during the transition from wakefulness to sleep. We will do all this in order to awaken, heal and expand our divine energy, tuning in to our authentic Self.
This is a sacred invitation to reconnect with our purest essence, release energetic and emotional blockages, activate the pineal gland and Siddhi potential, and awaken the innate powers of creation, intuition and spiritual development.
The knowledge of all ancestors of humanity had three common foundations:
• understanding and development of people
• protection of bonds between communities
• basic community traditions.
And one of the main common foundations of all humanity was also archaic structures aimed at restoring balance and healing the body, mind and spirit. Ancient Medicine is the legacy of our Ancestors, which is combined with transversal methods (i.e. those that can be used in various situations and contexts – life, private and professional), as well as transpersonal (i.e. approaching the human as a whole physical, mental and spiritual). In order to help us understand and direct our life and energy flow. In our times, Archaic Medicine has become a science of healing and a way to raise consciousness.
In shamanism, but also in connection with new concepts of quantum physics, there is the concept of the Primal Force, which allows everything to exist in our universe. This first pulsation that creates or destroys matter (CERN, theories about antimatter) is in constant motion, it is connected to our consciousness and its timelessness. It is also connected to everything that exists and that our consciousness is able to understand, feel, sense or perceive through our thoughts or senses.
This energy is behind the co-creation, transformation, transmutation and activation of All That Is, and from now on we will call it: LUMINA.
In ancient times, the first methods of connecting with the idea of this energy were shamanic practices – methods, ceremonies, rituals that created the foundation and the way to develop the applications and management of this energy. These methods, together with practices and oral and written teachings, developed the practice of Archaic Medicine used for:
• healing and balancing our existence;
• gaining the wisdom of living according to the belief system in connection with Supra Nature;
• using higher wisdom to connect directly with the source of this energy.
When we are able to accept, acknowledge and be aware of LUMINA ENERGY and then develop the process of embodying it through INTRAPERCEPTION, we can understand the power of connecting with the SOURCE of LUMINA and the power and responsibility that can develop within us when we use it.
In our times, conventional medicine is increasingly returning to old wisdoms and practices such as Ayurveda, Yoga, Chinese medicine, acupuncture, natural remedies and others. In some aspects, Science and Supra-Nature meet halfway.
Archaic Medicine and the use of LUMINA ENERGY is based on the dimension of self-development of our awareness. We are complete and integrated Human Beings manifesting in several bodies:
• physical body
• energy body
• emotional body
• causal body (spiritual identity and essence or soul)
• and psychic body.
Alberto Villoldo and other anthropologists have proposed various methods in which LUMINA is reflected in our being, and we call this LUMINIC ENERGETICAL FIELD (LEF). In other methods, such as tantra, Tibetan medicine and siddha, we call this the SUBTLE SYSTEM.
During the workshop we will work with the Human Luminous Energy Field, in which all our personal and generational memories, wounds and traumas from early childhood and previous incarnations are recorded. "It is a subtle archive, in which at the most external level there are imprints resulting from injuries to our current physical body. At the second deepest level, emotional traumas are recorded. Traumas of the soul are located at the next, third level from the outside, and spiritual traumas are at the fourth level and even deeper.
Imprints in the Luminous Energy Field (LEF) create patterns and habits that encourage us to adopt certain life behaviors and attitudes, outline specific life paths and create circumstances for such and not other experiences or events, attract such and not other people to us." (LEF Theory).
DURING THE WORKSHOP WE WILL DEVELOP THE FOLLOWING ASPECTS OF LUMINA:
PRANA or LUMINA AWARENESS
This life force energy has a polarity that will allow us to use it and to develop: TIME and SPACE. These two aspect of this primordial energy have to be connected to: awareness, consciousness, embodiment and sacredness.
ENERGY ANATOMY, CONSCIOUSNESS & EMBODIMENT
The prana does not manifest only at the physical body but we have a whole Subtle System and LEF in which this one operates. We will explore all this system within the bodies of existence. Understanding psycho centre of energy, marmas, meridians, talas and granthis. But also, we will explore the Supra-Conscious system in the esoterical lingering to the primordial forces (Supra Natura and the energy available).
VIBRATIONAL & SACRED MOVEMENT
Primordial Energy is something that we can feel, manoeuvre, transform, dissolve, absorb and interpret. The idea of connecting and being maybe channels of this immense energy and vibrate with it is an immense gift and a deep process. We would explore ancestral techniques to sustain movement and space, to relieve and help other ones and ourselves. Prepare yourself to experience out of body life living healing process.
THOUGHTS, INTENTIONS, REALITIES, MYSTICISM
We will develop different methods in order to awake and use this primordial energy within different frequencies and with different targets. We will explore diverse archaic knowledge and techniques that will awake us to the natural and mystic use of LUMINA.
LUX PORTALS: RITUALS & CEREMONIES
The art of handling the high positive energy conception involves a diverse range of ceremonies, methods, initiations, rites and customs in different metacultures. Be prepared to experience the art to connect, manifest and dissolve of an individual with the support of the collective energy field.

TRUE TANTRA SCHOOL
True Tantra is based on the ancient teaching method, part of which is an independent and complementary techniques. When you learn Tantra, you have to understand and experience all its aspects:
● Ancient Kriya Yoga Tantra; the rituals as the moving energy method and meditations (yandras and mantras)
● Sacred Sexuality (Sacred Connection and Sacred Conscious Touch)
● Meditation (utilising Your intention and no meditation approch)
● Swahara Yoga (Pranayama Knowledge).
True Tantra had become one of the first institutions within Spain and part of Europe to give a real methodology to a Tantra Session. All this professional effort has become to build a group of masseurs, therapists, tantra monitors, Tantrikas (Docents), Monitors of Ancient Tantra Kriya Yoga and Teachers on Ancient Tantra Kriya Yoga. Each professional must sit several oral and practical exams and each year they renew their knowledge not only to show what they know but also to get to know more methods and to deepen the Tantra practice more. All these people must fulfil the ethical values of our True Tantra school. Web: www.truetantra.eu
