Note: The course will end Sunday evening in time for people to catch the 6:15 PM ferry to Anacortes. There is also a 7:35 PM ferry.  You can arrive on Wednesday anytime in the afternoon or evening on Wednesday. We recommend the 4:15 PM or 5:35 PM ferry out of Anacortes.

This is a special retreat to teach the Awaken Kundalini technique, chakra clearing practices, a Yogic levitation technique, and additional practices to help you integrate. For more information, see the Awaken Kundalini page.

Prerequisites

  • This retreat is for you if you have had a regular meditation practice for at least 5 years.
  • Are stable emotionally and mentally and are in good physical health.

Retreat location

Samadhi House on San Juan Island, Washington state. Because of the power of the Awaken Kundalini practice, this retreat is only available in person with onsite accommodations. This will allow me (Ajayan) to give close, personalized supervision to each person.

Retreat description

Book Cover
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 a world of wonder. This retreat goes a big step further:
You’ll learn chakra clearing and opening practices from the Deep Chakra Work course in preparation to learn the Awaken Kundalini practice.
You’ll learn the powerful Awaken Kundalini practice. Rather than describe that here, please see the complete description on the Awaken Kundalini page. You can also read the blog, Should You Awaken Your Kundalini?
You’ll also learn practices to help integrate that spiritual power into your system and daily life.
As a special bonus: You’ll learn the technique yogis use to levitate. The Awaken Kundalini technique empowers prana bringing levitation that much closer as a possibility. The levitation practice is also excellent for integrating the awakened Shakti. For more information, see my YouTube video on How Levitation Happens and see below.
We’ll have lots of group meditation and discussion, and weather permitting, walking meditations along the coast.

As described on the Awaken Kundalini page, this practice is profound and will be a game changer for your current daily practice, whatever it may be. It will truly breathe powerful new life into your meditations. (No, it is not a breathing technique.) It is guaranteed to be a very special retreat!

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 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.

Since the retreat I’ve been amazed at the energy I feel. It has completely up-leveled my energy, my joy, and a sense of overall well-being and lightness. What an unexpected gift! —Jyoti Paramjyoti

Why Did I Include Instruction in Yogic Levitation to this Retreat?

Because what actually raises the body off the ground during levitation is prana, specifically udana vayu. Kundalini Shakti greatly empowers prana in your energetic body, especially udana vayu. So…

  • Awakening Kundalini makes the sensation of actual levitation much more tangible, so a perfect opportunity not to be missed.
  • The practice of the levitation technique following awakening Kundalini Shakti allows the layers of your being (pancha kosha) to integrate the Shakti.
  • Udana vayu is the inner hidden force largely responsible for your spiritual development and awakening higher consciousness. That’s why both Kundalini Shakti and levitation are associated with elevated consciousness. Combining the two is a powerful one-two punch to ignorance, flooding you with pure creative intelligence, bliss, love, and grace.

Again, for more information, see my YouTube video on How Levitation Happens.
