~Embody Direct Connection to Spirit~

November 16-19th, 2023

Retreat Tuition $985 CAD

Join Karuna and Paul Erickson & Robin Flynn and Darcy Kopas for a healing and awakening retreat into the embodiment of the Heart of the Mystic.

In this intimate retreat and ceremonial container we will be weaving the mystical heart of multiple strands of lineage and practice to create the opportunity to authentically awaken and heal.

The Heart of the Mystic Retreat is inspired by the perennial wisdom of Buddhism, Yoga Practice & Philosophy, Andean and Earth Honouring Ceremonial Wisdom, and Divine Feminine Mystery School Teachings.

Each lineage of practice that we will be exploring has found a unique path to the Universal Heart,  expressing an aspect of the timeless wisdom that lives within each one of us. This wisdom lives within can be directly realized in order to heal, awaken, and evolve all that we truly are. 

A single uniting wisdom and love emanates: from the teachings of the Buddha, the ancient prayers of the Kabbalah, to the ecstasy of the Sufis, to the reverent ceremonies of the Andes, to the true teachings of the Christian mystics and the many forms of Yoga.

The Mystical Heart knows that what unites us is always greater than what divides us. 

Loving awareness transcends all illusion of separateness. 

At the core of every mystical tradition lives the eternal heart of truth and love.

This is not an idea or a philosophy but a lived experience that we realize directly and authentically.

Our unity is the reality that is eternal and everlasting. 

It is our true essential nature.

Many spiritual paths and healing modalities address the surface of being- but the mystic goes to the root, the radical core, the heart- not to “know” the truth but to be and live the truth. 

This is the direct path of awakening to Spirit within all that is. 

In this circle, together we will uncover and bring forth this living wisdom from deep within each of our hearts.

As Hafiz wrote,  “How did the rose ever open its heart, and give to this world all its beauty? It felt the encouragement of light against its being, otherwise we all remain too frightened.”
