IllumiNATION: A Wim Hof Method, Sound Activation and Shamanic Wisdom Retreat

We live in times of unprecedented change – and opportunity to rise to the challenges that lay before us. At this pivotal point on planet Earth, it is critically important for you to activate the “inner technology” lying dormant within you. Application of ancient wisdom traditions coupled with cutting-edge science will help you fully integrate heart, mind, body and spirit as we collectively ascend and evolve into new ways of being.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to push the envelope of human evolution – from Homo Sapien to Homo Luminous.

Through the science and spirituality of sound activation, breathwork, meditation, movement, cold and heat exposure, nature rewilding, shamanic drum journeying, and (optional) microdosing plant medicine, we will amplify the inner healer and wisdom that lies within you.

This is your chance to say yes to life, to community and raising the collective vibration of humanity! Over five days (four nights), we will explore through the following activities:

 Sonic Activation – Experience pure bliss in a sublime and intimate setting with internationally acclaimed throat singer and sonic alchemist Matthew Kocel. Participants have repeatedly reported extraordinary experiences at his events that have led to greater insight, clarity and purpose in their lives.

 Breathwork – Explore profound states of consciousness accessible through breathwork led by master breathwork facilitator Jeff Sorensen. Regulation of breath and the nervous system create the physiological and psychological states required for bringing new states of consciousness into being. You will leave with simple tools that create profound change and transformation.

 Movement – Open and align the body to higher states of being with a variety of movement practices intelligently sequenced with the other modalities presented to move and amplify the energetic shifts created. Jada Kalika, Matthew and Jeff will all lead practices ranging from yoga to qigong to ecstatic dance and primal movement.

 Shamanic Wisdom – Integrate the shadow self and release unhealthy belief systems allowing you to live your true potential. Receive a blend of intertwining medicines that originate from the ancient ways of Incan and Shipibo lineages and other indigenous cultures. Jada will facilitate a drum journey to open and cleanse the chakras of dense energies within the luminous body. These dense energies can hold us back from realizing our truth and true potential of who we are. The drum journey can also take you to the underworld to meet power animals/totems to guide you to heal and integrate the shadow aspects of your being.

 Cold and Heat Exposure – Gain mastery over your nervous system through the practices of ice bath and sauna. The nervous system is the energetic system of our body. Expanding its capacity allows you to stay regulated and expansive in stressful situations, expand your energetic field, and enhance creativity.

 Energetic grounding – Draw on the unlimited power of the Earth, stars and planets using energy cultivation secrets shared by Matthew.

 Rewild In Nature – Enjoy the incredible natural surroundings of The Sentinel and spend an afternoon hiking to a glacier fed lake to experience the incredible power of the cold in its most raw and natural form. Reconnect and reharmonize to the power within you.

 Plant Spirit Microdosing (optional) – Experience and learn the potential of incorporating ancient plant medicines into our lives to connect to the higher wisdom and guidance of these spirits. While completely optional, these medicines can deepen and amplify the other modalities offered over the course of the retreat and will be offered in a safe and conscious manner.  Their use will be intelligently layered into specific practices to enhance the effects of these experiences. The use of these substances by other participants will not dramatically alter the nature of the retreat if you choose not to engage in these practices.

 Community – Coming together in community with others of like mind and vibration is perhaps one of the most potent and powerful aspects of these retreats. Entering a safe container where we can be seen, heard and held by our community allows us to heal our wounds and strengthen our confidence and authenticity to show up in the world as the one we came here to be.

Matthew, Jeff and Jada bring their life treasures, stories and experience to provide inspiration and guidance in these interactive spaces.  There will also be ample time to simply be, enjoy the natural surroundings and interact with other guests as well as your facilitators in a non structured way.
