Intronaut Magic Witnessing Meditation

With Ivan Rados and Lana Rados

An Intronaut explores the space within oneself, seeking the Truth. This inner exploration is an art that many of us have lost. We believe that only through seeking one’s inner self and allowing it to be expressed does the path towards true and full healing and self-actualization come to light. We are guides that help you unlock the door to your inner truth of love, peace, wisdom and beauty by integrating ancient shamanic wisdom, the wisdom and the healing power of the plant medicine, cutting edge contemporary therapeutic practices, and non-dualistic teachings.

To reserve your spot: CLICK HERE

Spirit Plant Medicine Ceremonies:
Our Magic Witnessing Meditation Ceremony is a unique, powerful experience of meditation and Spirit Plant Medicine healing on all levels: physical, emotional, cognitive, and spiritual. With the compassionate guidance of our experienced healers (Ivan and Lana Rados) you can let go and dive deep into your heart. This guided group ceremony is an opportunity to experience spirit plant medicine in a ceremonial setting which is both deeply healing and transformational. By looking within rather than letting the mind distract you, you can heal the parts of yourself that you may not have known even needed healing. With guidance and spirit plant medicine you can bypass the mind and go straight to the root cause, and heal it. The Intronaut team is here to take care of your physical body, guide you through your inner journey, and help you integrate your experience.

The Middle Point by Ivan Rados:
This retreat will be facilitated based on Ivan’s renowned spiritual discipline: The Middle Point. The human experiences of separateness, and the temporality of time and space are projections produced by the dualistic mind. The Middle Point is grounded and nourished in non-dual, non-linear, non-conceptual reality as a single divine reality with ultimate awareness being its essence. Ivan’s method and teachings have proven extremely effective in helping those seeking wholeness, health, and self-actualization.

Integration:
The Spirit Plant Medicine Ceremony is only part of your healing journey. A fundamental part of the process is the post-ceremony Integration to help you anchor the healing you received and carry the lessons you learned during the ceremony back with you into your day-to-day life. Our Intronaut team makes utmost importance in creating this process as a guided and facilitated process, and not just a sharing or socializing circle.  You will benefit from the intuitive guidance from the maestro Ivan Rados, and Lana Rados’s expertise in clinical psychology and counselling.

Intronaut Breath:
Intronaut Breath is a Conscious Connected Breathing ceremony that will serve as your introduction to the medicine within each of us, allowing you to expand your consciousness, and as a tool to anchor your spirit plant medicine ceremony. The breath will also serve you post ceremony, as a reminder of the glimpses of the cosmic consciousness that you have tapped into, and that it is always possible to revisit these transformative experiences and deepen our relationship with the intuitive heart.

Cacao Ceremony:
Ceremonial cacao is a gentle, heart-opening medicine, made from the highest quality beans sourced directly from Central and South America, and is prepared with love and intention. It provides a beautiful, consciousness-expanding experience, and can help to aid in clarity, intent setting, and inner-processing. It is a medicinal and healing experience for the body, mind, and spirit. The Cacao Ceremony will be facilitated through the method of guided visualization.

Zen Hapé:
Hapé is a sacred Amazonian plant medicine that is used ceremonially for its cleansing properties. Known colloquially as “shamanic snuff,” hapé is made of finely-ground tobacco and other healing ingredients. It is blown into the nasal cavities using a ceremonial pipe, and effects are felt almost immediately, Common benefits include “total presence” and “clarity of mind.” It can serve to help you to let go of attachments, burn the ego, and purge that which no longer serves you.

Ceremony of Community:
Although you arrive as strangers, you leave as family.  Our participants have remarked that the community that is cultivated at our retreats is a precious gift and resource, people that they now know and trust intimately, and the communication, connection, and support that continues on allows them to fully realize their dreams.  As such, we have built this retreat with plenty of time for you to connect, to just be and enjoy nature and each other together, and to enjoy the beauty of the Sentinel.  The Sauna, hot tub, lake, kayaking and more await you. Welcome to your tribe.

What’s included in our event:

  • 4 nights, all meals included (nourishing, plant-based),
  • Plant Medicine Ceremonies (1 Spirit Plant Medicine, 1 Empathogenic, 1 Ceremonial Cacao, 2 Zen Hapé),
  • Non-Dualistic Teachings,
  • Guided Meditations,
  • Psychotherapeutic Exercises,
  • Family constellations,
  • Daily Guided Breathwork,

Starlight Medicine Spring Retreat

With Sarah Salter Kelly

This retreat is an invitation to come home. To open to the genuine presence of your being through the use of plant medicine ceremony and earth based traditional practices. It is focused on the awareness that you have what you need within you – everything is in fact here now – and our healing is the art of integrating, accepting, and loving what is. In this process we claim the light of our true nature and use this light to guide our way.  

RESERVE YOUR SPOT > CLICK HERE

Sarah’s teachings are nondual, based on the philosophy that we are one. Through cultivating loving awareness we remember we are not separate from our Source and in this way, we align who we are with how we live. She is the author of Trauma as Medicine, a DIY book for healing trauma and transforming your life; based on the personal experience of losing her mother to homicide and subsequent journey of healing and forgiveness.

We are in a great moment of awakening, and it is necessary to open to the highest light for the illumination of our path. This ritual is delivered through visualization, shamanic journey and earth-based practices.  

Forest Medicine ceremony – The Rainbow serpent lodge was passed to Sarah many years ago through her Spirit guide Thoth; the God of wisdom in the Egyptian pantheon. In this lodge she shares mushroom tea in a night ceremony. You are supported with channeled medicine songs, music, hands on healing, tobacco cleanse, and other shamanic methods. This is an excellent medicine for moving into the underworld aspects of our life’s journey so we can integrate them with the light. 

The intention of this lodge is to create a portal for the following: 

  • Commune with Source
  • Regulate your nervous system
  • Illuminate your true nature
  • Release old patterns
  • Address grief & trauma
  • Come home to your self & your body

Awakening Man Retreat : Unleashing Authenticity

With Jeff Sorenson & Richard Kay

Unleashing Authenticity: Empowerment Through Vulnerability, Challenge and Connection

Reserve Your Spot Today – BOOK NOW

Rediscover your true self, break free from limiting beliefs, and cultivate empowerment through meaningful connections, authentic communication, vulnerability and practical tools to create positive transformation in your life.

This retreat will guide participants on a transformative journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and connection. Through a series of interactive exercises, discussions, and activities, participants will explore their belief systems, learn to communicate authentically, and embrace vulnerability as a pathway to empowerment. By the end of the retreat, participants will have gained valuable insights, learned new tools, begun to form new habits to support their desired life changes, and will have formed deeper connections with themselves and others. Get ready to challenge yourself, remember who you truly are, remember what it is to be human and to realize a higher potential in a fun, supportive and nurturing environment.

Daily movement, breathwork and meditations along with cold exposure and sauna, time in nature, delicious organic food and the spectacular surroundings of The Sentinel will complement and deepen the other activities and workshops offered over the course of the retreat.

Group Discussions, Workshops and Team Building Exercises – Explore the themes of authenticity, vulnerability, belief systems, communication, rebuilding trust, the ego and emotions in group discussions, various exercises and workshops designed to challenge your current belief systems, perceptions and world view. These exercises will provide the opportunity to leave the retreat with a more expansive and liberated world view to bring more peace and joy into your life, relationships and career.

Breathwork – Explore the multidimensional nature of your being through breathwork led by a master facilitator. Breathwork practices provide an opportunity to release the aspects of ourselves we developed as coping and protection mechanisms or inherited in our ancestral lineage but no longer serve us in our present life. These powerful practices allow us to align to our authentic self and open to an expanded sense of being.

Movement – Open and align the body with a variety of movement practices intelligently sequenced with the other modalities presented to move and amplify the energetic shifts created over the course of the weekend. Jeff will lead a variety of practices ranging from yoga to qigong to ecstatic dance or primal movement.

Resiliency Tools – Gain mastery over your nervous system through the practices of cold and heat exposure. The nervous system is the energetic system of our body. Expanding its capacity allows you to stay regulated and expansive in stressful situations, expand your energetic field, and enhance creativity.

Rewild In Nature – Enjoy the incredible natural surroundings of The Sentinel and remember that you are nature. Optional river walks, guided cold dips in wild and beautiful Kootenay Lake help us to reharmonize to our true nature.

Community – Coming together in community with others of like mind and vibration is perhaps one of the most potent and powerful aspects of these retreats. Entering a safe container where we can be seen, heard and held by our community allows us to heal our wounds and strengthen our confidence and authenticity to show up in the world as the one we came here to be.

🍃 There will also be ample time to simply be, enjoy the natural surroundings and interact with other guests as well as your facilitators in a non structured way.

A Year Long Program For Inner Liberation & Embodied Transformation

Tania and Robyn invite you to embark on an extraordinary journey into the depths of your inner world. Over the course of a year, join us in a profound exploration of self and relational attunement, integration, and discovery. Through a fusion of IBC (Inquiry-Based Coaching), Parts Work (inspired by IFS Internal Family Systems), and Continuum Movement, we offer a transformative framework to accompany you on this path of growth. This program is designed to provide structure and accountability, facilitating a profound level of personal and professional development while creating space and laying supportive foundations for your evolving self.
Our shared tools will enable you to delve into the deepest layers of your being, uncovering core inner parts, while softening and transforming the barriers to inner freedom. Together, we will all co-create a sacred space for exploration, ceremony, and magic, tapping into the profound healing power of community. Through ceremonial initiations, we will address and integrate aspects of ourselves in need of healing, leading to a profound sense of alignment, joy, and inner freedom.

In this program you will:
⭐️  Learn to understand that you are not your conditioning, rather you have just experienced conditioning.
⭐️  Genuinely meet your edges and the parts of yourself that have been ignored, abandoned and pushed aside.
⭐️ Intimately meet yourselves and others and the mystery with curiosity and trust.
⭐️ Embody new ways of being, embrace the unknown, and access your deepest essence and truth.
⭐️ Journey towards self mastery, guiding you to define and direct your life with clarity and love.
⭐️ Recognize the magnificence, joy and freedom that you know to be true.

Tuition : $5300 + Food/lodging and 5% taxes

Opening Program dates June 27-July 1st, 2024 at The Sentinel

Closing Program dates June 26-30th, 2025 at The Sentinel

BOOK NOW

The year-long immersion includes:

  • Opening and closing retreats with programming and ceremonies (4 days each).
  • Ongoing support via a WhatsApp group throughout the year.
  • Bi-weekly group calls (typically 7-8:30 PM PST).
  • 10 personal coaching sessions (5 with Tania, 5 with Robyn)

With IBC, we will:

  • Identify obstacles hindering our fullest experience of life.
  • Explore how we unwittingly validate and perpetuate these limiting perceptions.
  • Understand the impact of this validation on our lived experience.
  • Recognize missed opportunities obscured by limiting beliefs.
  • Experience life beyond these limitations, paving the way for transformative action and entering a state of “Zerospace.”

Through Parts Work:

  • We acknowledge ourselves as luminous system made of parts
  • We examine the assumptions and traumas that have shaped these parts, limiting our self-expression.
  • With compassionate curiosity, we listen to these parts, witnessing their burdens and experiences.
  • Through healing, we reintegrate and update these parts, aligning with our true purpose and fostering wholeness in our relationships and systems.

Engaging with Continuum:

  • We journey into the living landscape of our bodies to explore our edges discovering deep wells of resources within.
  • Finding new possibilities to be with and to move through any stuck, or frozen or forgotten stored personal, collective and ancestral traumas that get held in the bodymind.
  • Continuum is an inquiry process that invites us on a creative, imaginal, biological, and alchemical journey into the wonders of bringing inquiry into the body.
  • We use sounds as audible breaths to penetrate our deepest layers of holding. We respond and move with our body sensations in unconventional and unexpected ways finding pleasure moment to moment.
  • Continuum offers an invitation to dive into the Mystery, our fluid and cosmic anatomies, opening the doors to have a full body experience of resilience

Rediscover yourself. Release fear and trauma. Embrace your truth and freedom. It’s time to soar and share your light with the world.

Sacred Sound Journey Retreat

Come and join us as we embark on a journey into deep play and authentic relaxation!

 

BOOK NOW

 

On this sound adventure you will discover tools and skill sets for being in sync and weaving together the many intersecting patterns of your life.

You will be taken on a journey to reclaim an embodied sense of listening and creating. Science continues to prove what our most ancient ancestors innately knew. As they worked with drums, flutes, rattles, and more, they experienced sound’s uniquely healing, unifying powers.  Your body is an instrument in symphony with the natural world. When it’s properly tuned into harmonious alignment between self and the collective, anything is possible!  Begin to release all that shrouds your true self.

We live in a world literally made of rhythm and sound. Any repeated behaviour can be described as a rhythm. Are all your repeating behaviours serving you the way you want them to? How do our ever evolving habits form the rhythms of our life? The rhythms of Mother Earth and the cosmos also shape our lives.

Drumming is an ancient medicine of every culture. As a living language Sanskrit is the most precise verbal language and arguably the oldest. It is said that the vibration of Sanskrit mantras is more powerful than the meaning of the words themselves.

Through a hand drumming ceremony, crystal bowl and gong sound baths, guided gentle movement, a simple Sanskrit mantra initiation, the rhythm of traditional mala making – threading and knotting beads on a string, forest bathing/found sounds, you will encounter rhythms, sounds, kinaesthetic/somatic experiences weaving together within you.

You will leave this retreat feeling profoundly enriched by touchstones of awareness and with tools to deeply relax, rejuvenate, connect and play!

This retreat is a valuable opportunity for professionals working with clients in recovery.

Rebirthing The New Earth

With Reanna Costa

“We are living in the time that has been foretold by countless prophecies, a time of evolutionary potential and quickening, known as The Great Turning. Every level of consciousness and all sentient beings are in a process of evolutionary transformation. Death and rebirth are everywhere. The pressure is great, the challenge is epic, and we each are the chosen ones who get to imagine a whole new earth into being.”

Robin Flynn & Darcy Kopas : https://visionaryhearts.com
Rebirthing The New Earth is a dynamic and delightful blend of nervous system science and the beautiful cross-cultural shamanic teachings of The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition. In this time together we will explore intentional practices for creating new ways of being within ourselves and within the world; we will acknowledge that the earth is dramatically changing, and with it, we are being asked to change too.
We believe that we are in a powerful time of transition and initiation, one that is calling forth those who know, deep within themselves that the ways we have been living are not in alignment with the highest potential of humanity and all life on earth.
In our time together, we will contemplate…
    • What tools and practices can we live and embody to help our rebirthing process?
    • What is required of us in order to become beings who can live on this new earth?
    • How can we become loving custodians of the earth and evolve alongside her?
    • How can we be in right relationship with all of life?
We will begin the weekend with a chance to dive into breath and ceremonial rebirthing containers to help us shed the layers that no longer serve us and where we are headed. This is done in a gentle and loving way; there is no need to force this rebirthing, all that is ready to fall away does so with grace. From this place we will lean into powerful shamanic practices Ayni, of group journeying, and connecting with the earth.
This retreat begins on Thursday, July 25 @ 3pm and ends on Sunday, July 28 @ 1pm.
It is essential that you are present for the whole time.

It is from the mind that we form identities, create myths, and fabricate illusions. It is from the mind that values are forged, principles are shaped, and freedom is known. Thus, it can be said: To know the mind (within inner and outer contexts) is the most important task of our life.”  ~ Alan Clements

“Alan’s life is material for a legend. An innovative explorer of consciousness, intellectual artist, freedom fighter, former Buddhist monk, he shares his insights and experiences with a passion rarely seen and even more rarely lived.  He’ll make you think and feel in ways that challenge your entire way of being.” ~ Catherine Ingram, Author of In the Footsteps of Gandhi & Passionate Presence

Radical Rest Retreat

With Reanna Costa
“What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine level pace –– feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit”
~ Tricia Hersey 
In the fast-paced world we live in which focuses so heavily on doing, accomplishing and striving it is so rare that we take the time to slow down, to rest and simply be. These fast and action orientated ways are templated into our nervous system and psyches; many people when given the time to slow down don’t know what to do with themselves, fear boredom or just simply don’t know how to shift gears. We are living in a society that glorifies this busyness and supports “grind culture”.
In our time together, we will explore rest in many ways: as a practice, as a state of being, as way to actually accomplish more and as a way to say no to the cultural normality of working ourselves to the point of depletion. Our goal is to help template in a new way of being, to deeply experience and embody the power of relaxation, restoration and the flow of vital energy in the body.
The weekend will include:
  • Gentle yoga
  • Yogic sleep
  • Breathwork
  • Heart-coherence practices
  • Nervous system regulation

A Year Long Program For Inner Liberation & Embodied Transformation

Tania and Robyn invite you to embark on an extraordinary journey into the depths of your inner world. Over the course of a year, join us in a profound exploration of self and relational attunement, integration, and discovery. Through a fusion of IBC (Inquiry-Based Coaching), Parts Work (inspired by IFS Internal Family Systems), and Continuum Movement, we offer a transformative framework to accompany you on this path of growth. This program is designed to provide structure and accountability, facilitating a profound level of personal and professional development while creating space and laying supportive foundations for your evolving self.
Our shared tools will enable you to delve into the deepest layers of your being, uncovering core inner parts, while softening and transforming the barriers to inner freedom. Together, we will all co-create a sacred space for exploration, ceremony, and magic, tapping into the profound healing power of community. Through ceremonial initiations, we will address and integrate aspects of ourselves in need of healing, leading to a profound sense of alignment, joy, and inner freedom.

In this program you will:
⭐️  Learn to understand that you are not your conditioning, rather you have just experienced conditioning.
⭐️  Genuinely meet your edges and the parts of yourself that have been ignored, abandoned and pushed aside.
⭐️ Intimately meet yourselves and others and the mystery with curiosity and trust.
⭐️ Embody new ways of being, embrace the unknown, and access your deepest essence and truth.
⭐️ Journey towards self mastery, guiding you to define and direct your life with clarity and love.
⭐️ Recognize the magnificence, joy and freedom that you know to be true.

Tuition : $5300 + Food/lodging and 5% taxes

Opening Program dates June 27-July 1st, 2024 at The Sentinel

Closing Program dates June 26-30th, 2025 at The Sentinel

BOOK NOW

The year-long immersion includes:

  • Opening and closing retreats with programming and ceremonies (4 days each).
  • Ongoing support via a WhatsApp group throughout the year.
  • Bi-weekly group calls (typically 7-8:30 PM PST).
  • 10 personal coaching sessions (5 with Tania, 5 with Robyn)

With IBC, we will:

  • Identify obstacles hindering our fullest experience of life.
  • Explore how we unwittingly validate and perpetuate these limiting perceptions.
  • Understand the impact of this validation on our lived experience.
  • Recognize missed opportunities obscured by limiting beliefs.
  • Experience life beyond these limitations, paving the way for transformative action and entering a state of “Zerospace.”

Through Parts Work:

  • We acknowledge ourselves as luminous system made of parts
  • We examine the assumptions and traumas that have shaped these parts, limiting our self-expression.
  • With compassionate curiosity, we listen to these parts, witnessing their burdens and experiences.
  • Through healing, we reintegrate and update these parts, aligning with our true purpose and fostering wholeness in our relationships and systems.

Engaging with Continuum:

  • We journey into the living landscape of our bodies to explore our edges discovering deep wells of resources within.
  • Finding new possibilities to be with and to move through any stuck, or frozen or forgotten stored personal, collective and ancestral traumas that get held in the bodymind.
  • Continuum is an inquiry process that invites us on a creative, imaginal, biological, and alchemical journey into the wonders of bringing inquiry into the body.
  • We use sounds as audible breaths to penetrate our deepest layers of holding. We respond and move with our body sensations in unconventional and unexpected ways finding pleasure moment to moment.
  • Continuum offers an invitation to dive into the Mystery, our fluid and cosmic anatomies, opening the doors to have a full body experience of resilience

Rediscover yourself. Release fear and trauma. Embrace your truth and freedom. It’s time to soar and share your light with the world.
