Special 5-day, Awaken Kundalini Meditation Retreat
Note: The retreat is for practicing meditators. It will be held on San Juan Island in WA state. This retreat is onsite only and does not have a remote option.
“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. We will be practicing the most sublime and powerful practices together. This includes:
Everyone who has learned the Awaken Kundalini 2 practice to date has verified that this is the most powerful and effective technique I’ve ever taught. The power of that technique, multiplied by collective practice, promises to create a temporary state of Brahma Loka (sublime heavenly bliss and the tangible presence of the Divine) right here on earth. I cannot wait to experience this with you!!!
We will also dive deep into the ancient Tantric understanding of how awakening Kundalini Shakti greatly accelerates your Self-realization and living the divine bliss of Brahman. For instance, here’s a key verse that in itself offers a treasure of understanding once you have the full experience of it:
By the union with shakti there is excitation and in the end, one is absorbed into shakti. That bliss which is said to be the nature of Brahman, is one’s own Self.
— Sri Vijnana Bhairava Tantra, verse 69
In addition, this retreat will bring many more down-to-earth benefits, enhancing your enjoyment of all that meditation brings, including:
Because the retreat is a full 4 days and 5 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 may also learn practices to develop compassion (karuna), friendliness (maitri), and happiness (mudita), and possibly learn a powerful Tantric chant if those attending want to. Of course, we’ll have lots of group meditation and discussion. Weather permitting, we’ll also do 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

The Awaken Kundalini 1 meditation retreat I did this weekend with Ajayan was very powerful. I learned some amazing techniques that I am excited to use at home. Ajayan’s descriptions are quite detailed and complete, which helped deepen my meditation practice. —Diane Urlich
I learned more effective meditation techniques at Ajayan’s weekend retreat than months of learning with other teachers and methods. If you’re serious about improving the quality of your life, learn from the best to be the best possible you. —Susie A.
