About this Retreat
Your Guides
Shivananda Swamiji is an embodied cosmic avatar of love, representing the energy of new Christ Consciousness on this plane. His mission is to gently guide each soul to truth, peace, and unconditional love, offering a unique and transformative experience for every individual through their own consciousness, in harmony with all Creation.
At the age of 16, Shivananda’s life changed forever following a near-death experience. During nine days in a coma, he witnessed the universal light connecting all beings and experienced a profound soul transition. This event planted the seeds of his life mission: to awaken others to their divine essence.
Years later, after a period of deep personal challenges and spiritual integration, Shivananda entered a profound nine-day state of Samadhi in 2017. During this transformative experience, he met ascended masters, received divine teachings, and opened his healing gifts, culminating in the creation of the Avataran Healing Technique—a powerful modality that channels Kundalini energy and Christ Consciousness to awaken inner light and facilitate profound healing.
Today, Shivananda Swamiji travels internationally, sharing his vision of unconditional love, divine inner healing, and spiritual awakening. He co-creates The City of New Light and inspires people to release fear, reconnect with their essence, and live aligned with their highest purpose.
"Each of us carries a light, a spark of the divine." – Shivananda Swamiji
Details of this retreat
For those who have never truly felt at home, for those who have never found their place in the world, for those who have never known pure, unconditional love: this retreat will be a space to return to your origin, where you can finally feel welcomed and at home.
In this special time, we come together to go deep within ourselves, creating a sacred space of silence, prayer, connection, and inner awakening. A place where the warmth of community intertwines with the profound search for the Divine that lives in the heart of each of us.
It is an invitation to turn off the noise of the outside world and listen to the subtle, luminous voice of eternal Truth, guiding us toward the light of the Supreme Self.
The thread that unites this Sacred Christmas is the rediscovery of the truest sense of family in the “New Earth”:
a community of regenerated hearts, nourished by the eternal truth of the inner Christ.
Here, we speak not only of blood ties, but of the family of the soul—a family that welcomes, supports, and loves unconditionally.
We will share moments
...of guided meditation, kirtan and sacred chants, satsang, kundalini activations, prayer, sadhana, seva, and circles of brothers and sisters dedicated to conscious communication, deep listening, and relational healing.
We will immerse ourselves
... in spaces of co-creation, sharing joy and daily moments with our brothers and sisters, guided and immersed in the energy of the Christ that resides within each of us.
Each day will be a step deeper
... into yourself and into welcoming others—a journey of purification, reconciliation, awakening of compassion, and celebration of the spiritual family.
