SHAMANIC KUNDALINI RETREAT
🔹 RISE OF THE AVATAR
AUTUMN EARTH EDITION 🌏
Awakening the Life Force Within 🔥
Saturday 7th November | 1:00pm–9:00pm
The Lighthouse Hub
St Vincent Place, 1st Floor, Greenside Street, Manchester, M11 2EX
A Day of Remembrance • Connection • Awakening • Celebration
For generations, stories have carried messages hidden in plain sight.
From The Matrix to Avatar, cinema has explored powerful ideas about awakening, consciousness, remembering who we are, and seeing beyond the reality we have been taught to accept. Perhaps these stories resonate because they reflect something deeply human: the feeling that there is more to life, more to consciousness, and more to ourselves than we have yet discovered.
The Shamanic Kundalini Retreat is an invitation to explore that feeling.
Not as something we need to become, but as something we can remember.
A day to turn inward, reconnect with the body, awaken our life-force energy and explore the relationship between consciousness, The power of the breath, yin / yan movement, art of sound, our emotion body and tapping into raw energy life force. 🐍
Together, we create a sacred space to step away from the fast pace noise of everyday life and reconnect with ourselves and with like mind soul as we awaken the avatar within!
🌿 OPEN OUR FULL POTENTIAL • REMEMBER • CONNECT TO THE INFINITE POSSIBILITIES 🌀
The retreat brings together elements of Ancient Kundalini practice, yogic traditions, shamanic-inspired approaches, through various breath-works, art of ancient sound, movement throughout meridians and energy body awareness.
We will explore the symbolism and history surrounding Kundalini and the idea of life-force energy, while discovering accessible practices that can help develop greater awareness of the body creative wisdom, exploring through DTM breath, processing ancestral emotions, memory in the body and inner experience.
We will explore the subtle body, energy centres and traditional concepts of energetic pathways, using fast and slow movement, powerful and gentle breath, sound waves moving waters within the body and stillness as tools for self-exploration.
This is a space to slow down, breathe, feel deep, move more expansively , release safely, celebrate freely and reconnect to who you truly are beyond the mind coming home to the heart.
A space where ancient wisdom meets modern exploration.
A space where we can come together as a tribe, share experience and celebrate the extraordinary gift of being alive.
This retreat is a magnificent celebration of life, of what it truly means to be human in these sacred times on earth!
