Details about the Retreat and the Sessions:
All is in motion. Everything has its own vibration, its own frequency. To judge, to discuss, to disagree, etc., keeps us “running against the wind”. To try to stop the inner (and outer) dialogue, to have a moment of rest from our never ceasing thoughts, to get tuned to a part of yourself you normally have no access to, there are many ways: austerity, deep silence, devotional work, contemplation, worship, art or to expose yourself to oceans, deserts or high mountains.
We do this by Trance Personal Coaching and help you to slide into different Dimensions. Your mind comes to rest and you step over from yourself to YOURSELF. New feelings, new sensations, new perspectives will arise from that contact and little by little you will perceive life in a different way. The world will not change, but you will see and live within it in a different way.
To flow with creation, to agree with whatever the universe offers, you need to get tuned to a different frequency. You have to know yourself and to agree with yourself, to be able to accept and enjoy all the offerings the universe has at hand for you. The whole universe is here to serve you, but you have to know what you really like, what calls your attention, what excites you.
This is not an Ayahuasca, nor DMT retreat, though it produces a similar effect.
Ayahuasca contains Dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which allows us to have visions. DMT is also found in the human brain, and is released in certain situations of our life, such as an accident, dying and in the state of Trance.
Since our bodies know how to open the doors to the subconscious, we just need to find the way to access our DMT factory.
Through the state of Trance, we open the doors of the subconscious without the need to take Ayahuasca. In a state of deep Trance you can embark on a shamanic journey to other worlds with precision and vision, always in a guided way, cleansing and purifying our being without the need of diets, purges or dizziness during the process. If for some reason the Trance participant feels uncomfortable, the session may be guided to another event or it may be simply ended.
Trance Personal Coaching enables the individual to access their own inner wisdom and spiritual connection in order to download information and guidance for specific queries and issues they have been struggling with. It does this by helping you relax your conscious analytical mind, and expand into a non-ordinary altered state of consciousness where we can all receive guidance and messages from The Source. The experience is extremely relaxing, nurturing and profound in its truth. Both the human experience and a greater framework are taken into consideration with Trance Personal Coaching. This greater framework may include the person's view of the Divine, religious practices, mystical experiences, altered states of consciousness or any other part of the person's experience, that has meaning for him or her.
From that wider perspective, difficulties that are encountered are not seen as a problem to be fixed, but as an indication that a greater potential within is unfolding. The Coach assists persons in understanding what these challenges have to teach them and in tapping into this greater potential.
The person then becomes empowered in accomplishing his or her goals and in consciously creating his or her life.
Soul Diving
Soul Diving will help you to have a deeper understanding of who you are, where you come from, where you go from here, and what is the purpose of your life, the Universal Energy and your own energy.
After guiding you into a deep state of meditative trance, you will get in touch with your subconscious mind, receiving specific suggestions for your general wellbeing, rewriting your life script. The session may take between 1 and 3 hours. You enter and explore memories stored in your cells, your soul or the Universe. These memories can come up as belonging to a supposed past life experience of yours or as general overall memories. Some people call this Akashic Records.
Akashic Records comes from the 5000 years old Sanskrit word "Akasha" which means Space. These records are like a hidden library in space and can be revealed by diving into the subconscious mind in a deep state of meditative trance. This is your soul’s "Book of Knowledge", or database of information with all information about your soul’s mission and purpose in this lifetime. The information or download that you can receive in just one rightly guided journey can reveal your life mission, purpose, past lives and soul lessons you are here to learn and help you to have a purposeful, amazing and fulfilled life, that you will enjoy and love. You should be willing to accept whatever will be revealed to you without judgement.
To have a compassionate understanding of humanity and its purpose, is helpful for a meaningful experience. During this journey you may reach a point where you will be asked if you would like to experience the transition from this life back to the light, to pass from your supposed former life into a different state. If you agree, you will be guided to the last day of that former life and to its very last moment. Then you will describe whatever happens to you, or what you feel.
Later you may also come to a state called "Life between Lives" where you might encounter your soul mates, your spirit guide or these old wise beings who may answer any question you have about life and who will encourage you.
Inner Child Work
This session is similar to the Souldiving session and will take up to two hours. You will be guided to meet the aspect of your soul when you were a child, to restore the contact with that mostly long abandoned being. Then you will be led along a winding path of love and light to meet your spiritual child. On that path, going through different gateways, you may drop down all your concerns, worries or misconceptions about life. A very helpful process, to feel more comfortable with yourself and to open up for life. Once in contact with your spiritual child, you may ask questions about your life.
This retreat is not suitable for persons with severe mental health issues or who receive psychopharmacological treatment.
