What is EntheoGEM?
Entheogen comes from the Latin root entheo, which means 'God within'
and geno, meaning 'to generate.'
Entheogenic literally means to generate the God or Divinity within
Entheogenic practices could include sitting meditation, extended time in darkness, yoga, breathwork, dance, ego death rituals, and plant or animal derived medicines.
These tools can help us generate our embodied awakening of the divine within.
Entheogenic experiences often happen during near death experiences, or NDE.
​
Entheogem refers to an entheogenic meditation practice that helps us to connect with the Divine within to reveal and polish our most precious treasure,
the inner GEM.
​
EntheoGEM is an nine day all inclusive silent meditation retreat
and will include
5 hours of daily somatic sitting meditation, daily yoga and breathwork,
along with an Ecstatic Dance, sound bath, guided self-inquiry,
satsang discussions, and an ego recalibration ritual
(often called ego death and rebirth). In noble silence.
Why EntheoGEM?
With so much pulling on our attention these days, we can easily forget to turn our awareness inside. We can become distracted, depressed, anxious, and exhausted...
Sitting in silence for extended periods of time is like rehab for a mind addicted to thinking and distraction. Sitting meditation is a fundamental practice for awakening our greatest potential as human beings.
It's time to remember who we really are. It's time to come home inside and find stillness. Buried deep within this stillness rests a precious, priceless gem...patiently for us to discover it, to polish it, and to let it shine.
​
This gem is our wellspring of vitality, inspiration, and is our direct connection to Source.
We offer you EntheoGEM, a sweet sanctuary to dive deep to discover your inner gem,
to polish it, and to melt it into liquid love, the most nourishing nectar we've ever found.
​
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
This course is for experienced explorers of the inner landscape, with the pre-requisite that you have either previously sat in a silent meditation course and/or have experienced an ego reset experience (often called an ego death and rebirth ritual, which is not quite accurate). This course is for those who are ready to face the fear of death and experience the State of Unity Consciousness This course if for those who are ready to live from their soul's calling and their full YES.  ​This course if for those who are ready to dive deep into the Great Work of self-awareness, surrender, and transformation ​PLEASE BE AWARE: Engaging in this Work MAY result in a full kundalini awakening and can render you unable to ignore your Highest Calling. Resistance to this process can cause distress. The increased energy flow moving through your body can feel orgasmic and/or profoundly uncomfortable, depending on your capacity and willingness to surrender. To engage in this experience in a good way-- proper preparation, full participation, and commitment to integration is required. ​PLEASE BE AWARE: Trauma may arise during this work. Although we are trauma informed facilitators, and we will be present for whatever arises, this is a silent meditation course for those who are aware of their trauma and classic trauma responses, and for those who have integrated their trauma enough to be able to be with what is.   ​ ​
HOW-THE RETREAT CONTENT
BODY SCAN MEDITATION FOR FOUNDATION
The entire retreat occurs in noble silence; however, for 5 hours of each day, we will be in seated, silent, somatic meditation. Sit duration ranges from 30-60 min. We will be sharing the Vipassana body scan technique, as taught by Marshall Glickman, in his book Beyond the Breath. Although this retreat is inspired by the Vipassana technique, we are exploring an embodied approach to the work and are offering live instruction.
DAILY YOGA FOR EMBODIED PRESENCE
Yoga comes from the root yuj, which means joining, union, and control. Yoga is the discipline of union between the body, mind, and spirit. As explained by Patanjali, asanas or body postures, are one of eight limbs of yoga utilized to help prepare the body and mind for extended sitting meditation. Although many traditional meditation retreats refrain from practicing asana, we find that modern day practitioners often benefit from daily yoga to support their ability to sit for several hours each day.
​
Therefore, we will be offering two yoga classes daily, offered by Echo, a Yoga Alliance certified teacher, who has her own Internationally acclaimed and accredited yoga school, Full Circle Yoga. One class will be more dynamic, and the other will be a more gentle style. No previous experience is necessary.
