![]() Each of Jill's week intensives is different. We will learn and develop the ancient shamanic practice of overtone chanting, vocal purification practices, transformative breathing, vocal yogas, sonorous meditations, sacred chants, mantras, and sonic practices to transform family curses into their corresponding blessings and heal the ancestral lines. Later we will be working with, and becoming the mandala, or structure of consciousness of the supreme alchemical balance of male and female - the union of these two is the ultimate spiritual path, sought after in different ways within all traditions. Jill will work with the Healing Mandala of White Tara.
The HEALING MANDALA OF WHITE TARA All Jill's mandala ceremonies are different from each other. All combine and contain continuous chant, profound spiritual practice with joyful deep and transformative psychological work. As we move through the mandala we will be doing the practices of Green and White Tara. All Tibetan Buddhists from the most sophisticated to the simplest, including the Dalai Lama, the Karmapa, maintain their deep connection with this feminine manifestaton of compassion, enlightened action, liberation, healing and long life. Through working with the energies of Tara we are able to ease the blockages to achievements in work, life and health, bring about order and flow in our lives and work towards achieving the essential state of reality and become enlightened. The April-May 2008 retreat is held over the festival of Beltane or May Day, a festival of fecundity when the forces of heaven penetrate the earth (represented in traditional England by the Maypole). We will celebrate and harness these forces using sound as the bridge between the worlds to connect to the source of power through the instrument of our own voice and purify the body, the elements and past karma. In Tibetan Buddhism, the ultimate liberation is to transform the elements of the body into the essence of their substance - the rainbow colours and ultimately achieve the rainbow body. Jill only does two week-long retreats a year - always different and people come to them from all over the world so do book soon. It is essential to book early for these week intensives, as Jill is only giving two per year they are in great demand. *The five day option is occasionally offered to those who have done a weekend workshop with Jill before, but as the new group constellates in the first two days, Jill strongly recommends that you do the full week.
