Sacred Transmission: Awakening Kundalini Through Shaktipat · 22722 Chamera Ln, Topanga, CA 90290, USA, Calabasas
Join us for Sacred Transmission, a rare opportunity for spiritual awakening through Shaktipat, the sacred transmission of Kundalini energy from an awakened master, Swami Brahmananda Saraswati in the breathtaking mountains of Topanga Canyon.
Rooted in the Tantric wisdom of Kashmir Shaivism and the Siddha Yoga lineage of Sri Baba Muktananda, this yoga retreat offers an intimate space for meditation, mantra, pranayama, kirtan, and the possibility of Shaktipat — the awakening of inner spiritual energy through the presence and grace of a living teacher.
Swami Brahmananda received Shaktipat initiation from Swami Muktananda in 1975, later took monastic vows, established meditation centers across the United States, and has shared these teachings in more than 75 countries.
Set on a stunning private property surrounded by nature, the retreat includes access to a pool, sauna, and cold plunge. Overnight accommodations and meals are available at a special additional rate.
DATES:
JULY 24 - Friday: 1 Hour Evening Introductory Talk - Link sent upon Registration
