This looks like we’re finally on the same wavelength. I’m connected to several very different groups already and this is a common thread. Something big is birthing in this terribly dark time and the simple but big challenge is to find the way past our old frames of mind that only sort of work anymore in this old dying controlling paradigm, to a much bigger beautiful world we all know in our hearts is possible. Wonderful and congratulations. We can’t go due to caring significant health challenges of my sweetheart but will be with you in spirit.
Hi Matt, I think I answered this in the write-up. I am working with Jasmeen on a book project... the retreat is an outgrowth of that. I have a long background in art, counterculture and avant-garde practice, also in shamanic work and transformational festivals such as Burning Man. I am interested in where I see the gaps or where I think we could use community gatherings to push forward a bit further. For example, during most shamanic ceremonies or while people are dancing at Burning Man, they are kind of actively passive... they are recipients, undergoing (physical/hedonic and/or spiritual or psychological) processes. What would be the next step in helping people activate and awaken their own creative inspiration, for living/exploring reality in greater depth? I think it would be opportunities for collaborative artistic/performative interventions... role-playing, ritualist but not with any indigenous tinge. I am inspired by Jodorowsky's ideas on psycho-magic... kind of avant-garde / shock psychotherapy with an archetypal dimension. I am more interested in perhaps experimenting with some of those techniques for less personal more collective or civilizational explorations... Similarly August Boal's "Games for Actors and Non-Actors" very much intrigues me. Jasmeen was one of the facilitators at the ISTA Level One I went to a few years back. I was very impressed with what she brought to that event. This will be experimental and the participants will be collaborators... we can go as far as the collective field will hold. Feel free to DM me with other questions.
Was going to sign up, cause this looks awesome, but the terms and conditions on the signup goes to a page that says I don’t have access so I can’t actually complete the form. Fyi.
Booked it! You caught me at the right moment, haha as I was already looking at going to Soltara in Costa for almost the exact same dates, but it was going to be a lot more expensive, and with no writing component, so this felt like it was in total alignment! Thank you universe 🙏 and you and your cohost.
Hey, Daniel-
I clicked through to the website to learn a bit more. I won’t be able to be there, but it does sound intriguing.
Under the “Launch Price” it says:
“Available until 21st December 2024”
I’m guessing that should be 2023.
Have a great time, Costa Rica is beautiful.
Looks and sounds an amazing experience I am very tempted but it’s a lot of air miles from the UK

Hi Daniel, im interested.
What’s the inspiration for the retreat? What are you personally trying to achieve?
🙏

So wish I could attend, but looks like the finances are not in the cards for me, right now. Hopefully I'll get to attend a future date. ❤️
