Special 6-day, Awaken Kundalini Meditation Retreat

Tuesday Eve, October 21 – Monday Morning, October 27, 2025

Note: The retreat is for practicing meditators. It will be held on San Juan Island in WA state and in-person attendance is highly recommended, but those living outside WA state can attend remotely via Zoom.

Retreat Description

“Whatever happens in spiritual life is related to kundalini. The goal of every form of spiritual life, whether you call it samadhi, nirvana, moksha, communion, union, kaivalya or liberation, is in fact the awakening of kundalini. Once the great shakti awakens, man is no longer a gross physical body, operating with a lower mind and low voltage prana. Instead every cell of his body is charged with the high voltage prana of kundalini. And when total awakening occurs, man becomes a junior god, an embodiment of divinity. He becomes Shiva.”—Swami Satyananda Sarasvati

Any meditation retreat is a wonderful opportunity to take a break from your daily routine, deepen your experience of meditation, and reconnect with yourself and meaning in your life. Retreats can clear the windows of your perception and give you a whole new perspective, an amazing reset. Many come away from retreats feeling like newborns reentering the world with renewed wonder.

This retreat goes a huge step further: On this retreat, you will learn the Awaken Kundalini practice, the Yogic levitation technique, and Awaken Kundalini 2 practice. This will greatly deepen your meditation and provide a huge boost towards fully integrating divine bliss consciousness. What more to say?

In addition, it will enhance your enjoyment of all the many benefits of meditation, including:

Deepened peace and calm
Increased joy
Greater mental clarity, creativity, and insight
More vitality and improved health
An opened heart, with deepened love and compassion for all
Feeling aligned with the divine and to living in a stream of grace

Because the retreat is a full 5 days and 6 nights, we’ll have time to dive deep into a range of other practices too. These will include practices to clear and open your chakras, integrate prana (vital life force) throughout your system, and connect with and receive the blessings of the Devas to live in a flow of grace. We will also learn practices to develop compassion (karuna), friendliness (maitri), and happiness (mudita). Finally, we’ll have lots of group meditation and discussion, and weather permitting, walking meditations along the coast of beautiful San Juan Island.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email Ajayan.

If meditation is more than just relaxation for you – if it’s a journey toward liberation and self-realization – I highly recommend a retreat with Ajayan. His home on San Juan Island, surrounded by breathtaking nature, creates the perfect space for deep practice and transformation. Learning from his direct experience and wisdom is truly invaluable. His love for meditation and the energy he shares make the experience even more powerful! I left deeply inspired, with profound insights and a stronger connection to my inner energy. Not only did I experience Kundalini more intensely than ever, but I also learned to engage with it consciously and continue activating it on my own. This retreat was a gateway to deeper awareness and renewed dedication to the path. —Marina Guryeva

Prerequisites

This retreat is for you if you have a longstanding regular meditation practice and have completed at least one of the following advanced courses: Deep Chakra Work course, or Blessings of the Devas course, or Siddhis 1.

Retreat location

Samadhi House on San Juan Island, Washington state. If you live outside of WA state and wish to attend remotely via Zoom, you can. See the course daily schedule below.

Cost: $795 (includes retreat, meals, and onsite accommodations)

The cost of the retreat if you attend via Zoom is the same. This 6-night retreat is priced the same as past 3-night retreats, so is already highly discounted, and it’s important that virtual participants feel the same commitment to attend all sessions as they would were they in-person. It is a 3-fer: The retreat, plus Awaken Kundalini 1, plus Awaken Kundalini 2, plus much more, including Divine Bliss Consciousness! 🙂
