THE AWAKENING - 8-day retreat
Gabriola Island, BC, Canada
with Kundalini Dance founder Leyolah Antara

November 1st - 9th 2009

This 8 day retreat is a call for ALL those who feel called to serve the awakening of humanity at this crucial time of our collective emergence. The main focus of this training is ones personal transformational journey, and is preparation to work as an ecstatic dance facilitator and or shamanic energy worker.

Leyolah Antara will be offering an eight day journey through the chakras. We will be activating one chakra per day, focusing on awakening your unique gifts and soul codes and transforming what holds you back from stepping into your power. This is a journey of empowerment. The keys shared are based in ancient tantric/shamanic alchemical practices that are central to the healing/awakening arts of many ancient esoteric cultures, particularly ancient Egypt. Antara has been bringing this work since 1992 and the work is continually evolving, attuning specifically with the earth changes occurring at his time and it’s relationship to the next step of humanities evolution.

This 8 days process is a mandatory pre-requisite for the Kundalini Ecstatic Dance facilitator training and a shamanic energy worker course which are both to be held in Canada as a three part process over the next 12 months. The next part of the training will be specifically for those who want to teach Kundalini Ecstatic Dance and will be a 7 day retreat in May 09. A four day shamanic healing training will also be held as a separate module later in the year, and can be taken independently of the Kundalini Dance facilitator training.

Pre-requisite for the Awakening Retreat : at least 15hrs of Kundalini

Testimonials:

My journey into Kundalini dance and training has been huge – it has changed my life. Kundalini dance is truly a vehicle to shake up, move through, experience & transmute & transcend the old ways of being into a whole new paradigm which matches more authentically who I truly am at my core, my soul my essence. Kundalini dance has stretched me, challenged me to shed old facades, old skins to reveal a more authentic version of myself.

When I met Leyolah I simply did not dance, well not with out alcohol feeling awkward, hiding in the idle of a group. Leyolah and Kundalini dance invited me to stretch beyond my perceived limitations to let go of what I looked like to get in touch with a body that knows what to do to release and open if only my mind would get out of the way.

Gradually I experienced sensations of my body joining with the music, being moved from within, my strength grew, my clarity, my confidence together with my physical body responded in kind. This was far from an easy process, indeed it is an endless unravelling, revealing, challenges, discoveries, shrinking, expanding while held in a truly sacred space of deep transformation that Kundalini dance offers should you dare take it.

My journey has changed me so radically that as a healer teacher with a deep communion with the earth I was compelled to become a facilitator to assist others in their journeys of self-expression and discovery.

Kundalini Dance has changed my life forever, supporting me to activate my life force and my true power as love.

Through the teacher trainings and the awakening, i have really become infused with the tools for navigating my life and consciously making ecstatic choices.  The length of these trainings have allowed for such a depth and integration of this work in my life at home.

Kundalini Dance has given me an incredible opportunity to make peace with my shadow aspects and to embrace and receive each challenge in my life as a gift for growth and personal transformation.

Through Leyolah and her teachings i have learnt a new language, this ancient language of the chakras has given me permission to speak my truth and express myself fully and freely, strengthening me so i may step forward with courage to follow my life path of being in  loving service for the awakening of all humanity...

If we choose it to be --it is definalty a accelerated path of growth and transformtiaon......

I thought I was going to dance when I left home ten days ago to attend Leyolah Antara's "Awakening Retreat". Now I can say that I returned last night from a journey to answers to my question of how I can bring Heaven down to Earth.  

I've long dreamed of peace of Earth. Most wishes I've sent to the universe have had peace at their core. I've cultivated peace in my own life that it may ripple outward. I felt that I needed to dig deeper still into myself to find a way to bring this wishful dream of peace more down to the Earth. I know now that when I was strongly called to attend the retreat, it was the answer to how to deepen my peace. What appeared on the surface of things to be my free will decision to go dance for eight days was as much or more my answering a call that sounds from Leyolahs' Heart to serve humanity at this time in our awakening. Twenty two women and two men were there answering the call that rings out from Leyolah's heart to be in a "timeless" service to all of Life, from the horrific or mundane to the ecstatic Self of humanity.

Leyolah lives her teachings. She embodies the Divine Feminine of a Thousand Names. She is a model of how we can, through our very bodies, raise the vibration rate of a humanity in dire need of these tools. Through dance movement, breathing, our voices and meditations we were slowly, gently, but ever so inexorably inspired to experience our ecstatic potent selves. She and her staff loved us and loved and loved us...until we loved ourselves.

Leyolah has the ability to create an environment of unconditional love, high vibration and freedom to explore. With her wisdom, confidence and acceptance, I was able to fully journey with my ability to surrender and step into the Light of Love.

Leyolah Antara is a motivating force, a gift to the world and I will be forever grateful to Leyolah for her courage to seek, find and share."

Simone Vandersteen, Winter Awakening, 2008

The Awakening is a life changing opportunity to dive into the layers of our soul self using the Kundalini Dance tools developed by Leyolah Antara. It is a path of weaving together the physical, mental, spiritual and emotional body through heart centered focus and through cultivating a deep awareness of the divine feminine and masculine qualities within.

 Using the language of the chakras we are supported to navigate through self, while strengthening the ecstatic body to magnetize more bliss and balance in our lives. As we strengthen our ecstatic body we always remember the power of love, and as it touches the deepest and at times darkest places within, it instantly transforms them into an ecstatic opening and embracing of all parts of ourselves. Alchemically transformational.........truly awakening....

Leyolah is an emodied form of ecstatic remembrance, I feel such depths of trust under her facilitation. She holds the group with such graceful strength, and is so supportive of each persons process that there is no choice but to surrender into the opportunity to explore the ancient transformational keys of Kundalini Dance.

Kundalini Dance is an incredible powerful set of tools for healing your own energetic system. Engaging with this work has transformed my life and given me deep awareness of what areas I still need to work on as well as the tools for doing the work.

Nothing will be the same again! Kundalini dance is the most exceptional healing work I have encountered yet. This work has activated deeply empowered personal and transpersonal healing within myself and everyone I have witnessed experienced it. What a beautiful way to awaken our hearts and the planetary collective heart. FINALLY!!

After several years of transpersonal healing work I was surprised to deepen into my process through the Kundalini Dance work. I have gone deep into my shadow bringing back my essence light. The work has supported me to transcend self doubt, self hatred and judgement. I have re-awakened into the awareness that I am love.
