AVATARAN HEALING
Immersion Workshop
Explore the Method • Understand the Energy • Experience the Transformation
AVATARAN HEALING is a 4-day immersive workshop
A journey into the principles, energetic framework and practices of Avataran Healing.
Explore How Avataran Healing Works
This immersion is an opportunity to explore how Avataran Healing works, understand the different layers of the human energetic experience, discover the foundations of energy work, and experience selected practices drawn from the broader Avataran Healing methodology.
Across four days, we move through a journey of:
REMEMBER • PERCEIVE • RELEASE • EMBODY
combining teaching, practical experiences, self-exploration and deep integration.
The immersion draws inspiration from themes explored within the official Avataran Healing Level 1 and Level 2 trainings, while offering its own independent format.
This is not an official Avataran Healing training or certification. It is an immersive educational and experiential journey designed to introduce participants to the method and allow them to experience its principles and practices directly.

Kriya Yoga is an advanced system of meditation and inner practice within the yogic tradition that works directly with breath, awareness, and prana — the body’s vital life-force energy.
The word Kriya means “action” or “inner action.” Through specific techniques involving pranayama (conscious breathing), concentration, meditation, and subtle energy awareness, Kriya Yoga is designed to calm the mind, purify the nervous system, strengthen concentration, and support the awakening of higher states of consciousness.
Kriya Yoga is considered part of Raja Yoga, often referred to as the “royal path” of yoga — a path centered on meditation and direct inner experience. The practice was brought into wider modern awareness through the lineage of Mahavatar Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, and Paramahansa Yogananda, whose teachings introduced Kriya Yoga to the West.
Traditionally, Kriya Yoga is practiced as a disciplined and experiential path of self-realization. Rather than relying on belief alone, it offers practical methods for working consciously with the body, breath, mind, and subtle energy system in order to cultivate greater stillness, awareness, balance, and inner transformation.
In relation to Kundalini, Kriya Yoga is considered one of the primary yogic methods for safely and intentionally awakening and directing this inner life-force energy through conscious practice and meditation.

What Makes This Experience Unique?
ASCENT is not a traditional yoga retreat, nor is it a purely intellectual workshop. It is a grounded and immersive exploration into the living relationship between Kundalini Energy, Kriya Yoga, breath, awareness, and consciousness.
What makes this experience unique is the balance between:
🌿 tangible teachings and direct experience
🌿 ancient wisdom and modern understanding
🌿 energetic practices and grounded integration
🌿 structure and spaciousness
🌿 personal exploration and guided instruction
Beyond Performance — Into Embodied Transformation
Rather than focusing on performance, spiritual identity, or dramatic experiences, ASCENT emphasizes embodiment, nervous system regulation, discernment, inner awareness, and authentic transformation.
Beyond Concepts — Into Direct Experience
Participants are not simply learning concepts — they are invited into direct experience through meditation, kriya practices, breathwork, silence, self-inquiry, and energetic awareness practices designed to support real inner connection and lasting integration.
Guided by Swamiji within the intentional atmosphere of City of New Light, ASCENT offers a rare opportunity to explore these teachings in a safe, supportive, and deeply transformative environment rooted in authenticity and conscious practice.
Who Is This For?
ASCENT is for those who feel called to explore themselves more deeply through conscious practice, inner awareness, and direct experience.
This workshop is designed for
- Those feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or mentally overstimulated and seeking greater clarity and balance
- Individuals navigating periods of inner transformation, awakening, or personal growth
- Anyone interested in understanding the relationship between the nervous system, breath, meditation, and subtle energy
- People seeking practical tools for presence, emotional regulation, and inner stability
- Those drawn to experiential learning rather than philosophy alone
- Practitioners wanting to strengthen their meditation practice and inner discipline (sadhana)
- Individuals curious about the deeper dimensions of yoga beyond physical movement
- Anyone longing to reconnect with stillness, purpose, intuition, and a deeper sense of self
- Individuals seeking a grounded and expansive understanding to Kundalini Energy and Kriya Yoga
- Meditators and yoga practitioners wanting to deepen their understanding of breath, energy, and consciousness
Whether you are completely new to these teachings or have been walking a spiritual path for years, ASCENT offers a safe, grounded, and supportive environment for exploration, learning, and transformation.
What Participants Will Gain
Through this immersive workshop experience, participants will gain:
Most importantly, participants will leave not only with knowledge, but with direct experience — a deeper connection to themselves and a clearer understanding of how conscious practice can support transformation from within.
Contribution for Retreat
We ask for a DAKSHINA for this sacred retreat.
*NOTE: the Dakshina is only in exchange for the 1-3+ spiritual practices offered daily by Shivananda Swamiji. If you would like to stay (room and board) at the City of New Light | Monte Sacro, please contact us for details.
Dakshina is the act of giving from a place of inner recognition.
Traditionally, Dakshina is offered to a teacher, a guide, or a sacred space—not to "repay" them, because what is given in wisdom cannot be priced—but to honor the exchange and keep the flow of energy alive.
It is what arises when something within you has been touched—when knowledge, guidance, presence, or truth has shifted you in a real way. Rather than payment, it is a chosen offering from the heart. A quiet acknowledgment that says: I have received, and I choose to give in return—not out of obligation, but fullness.
Dakshina is reciprocity without measure.
It is gratitude made tangible.
It is giving that reflects not the value of the service, but the sincerity of the heart.
It also asks something deeper of the giver—presence, honesty, and self-responsibility.
Not "What is expected?" but "What feels true to give?"
In this way, Dakshina becomes a practice in itself.
A mirror of one's relationship to abundance, worth, and receiving.
And when offered with awareness, it nourishes both directions—
the one who gives, and the one who holds space.
