Events

 

This retreat will invite the group that gathers to truly let go and fall into the mysteries of dark matter. 

It will challenge us down to our most tender somatic layers to let ourselves be truly held, finally. 

It will have us open the mysteries of the regeneration of our bodies and the natural world. 

It will create space for us to meet angels, nature spirits, and devas. 

It will allow us to be touched, caressed, embraced, and welcomed home by Dark Grace. 

***

Our bodies are suffering. 

Saturated with adrenaline and cortisol as we each live in our own isolated survival story, fuelled by fear.

Chronically exhausted, dysregulated, addicted, dopamine-hacked, trauma saturated, and struggling to heal. 

Vibrating with half-conscious terror, unfelt grief, and unowned rage. 

Our bodies have become the casualties of a war in the collective human soul.  

And this is mirrored in our extraction, domination, and exploitation of the natural world. 

At the root of all this is a fundamentally distorted relationship with matter. 

The matter of our bodies, the natural world, and the Earth. 

After 2000 years during which our attempted ascent to the heights of spirit happened on the foundation of a rejection of matter, with our consciousness yet not mature enough to see it as the robe of glory it truly is, many are now starting to return.

To the divinity of matter that has always been here. 

To the embrace of the Goddess.  

But now, not as a child addicted to the breast and attempting to avoid growing up by clinging to the pleasures of her body.

But as maturing children of the great Mother and Father - beings who have drawn on the touch of spirit to seed the note of freedom in the core of their souls - and now able to return and reset their relationship with Her - She who lives through all matter as a divine principle. 

This return asks that we plunge ourselves as deeply into the mysteries of matter as humans have learned to in the domains of consciousness and spirit. 

It asks that we learn to access the eternal nourishment and radiance of the body in its deeper layers, from dense to radiant to dark. 

It asks that we learn to open to the dark matter that is the root-source of all our bodies, and into the field of dark matter through which the Goddess senses and feels through all bodies. 

And in doing so, access her living current of deep regeneration, deep regulation, deep safety, and deep homecoming.

Scholarships: In AVATARA we understand that various forms of privilege (racial, gender identity, physiological, socio-economic, financial, generational) can play a role in financial access to our containers. We believe that making our containers accessible is an important aspect of building a transformational journey and we desire to find ways to support people to access our containers who otherwise would struggle to do so. To this end, we are providing some partial scholarships for people who may not otherwise be able to afford the full ticket price. If you would like to apply for a partial scholarship, please fill in the below form:

FACILITATOR

Jon Eden Khan is a transformational leader, mentor, and facilitator, living in his beloved home city of Berlin.

Jon is initiator of Singularity, a transnational political party dedicated to global governance working towards global governance sourced in the one Earth, the one humanity, and the power in the heart of every being by 2050.

He is founder of AVATARA, which is dedicated to the mystery of what it truly means to be human, awakening together at this extraordinary time of global initiation.

And he mentors soul-driven leaders, from top corporate business leaders and FinTech trailblazers, to LGBT rights activists in the Middle East, to some of the most respected facilitators of transformational self-development work in the world.

Between 2016-2018 Jon worked as European Director of the Global Purpose Movement, and in 2014, he co-founded Synergy Forum, an initiative focussed on the integration of spiritual awakening, social innovation and systems transformation.

Between 2012-2015 he worked as part of the leadership team of Zero Point Six in Interlaken, Switzerland, bringing together leaders from government, economics, spirituality, education, culture and the environment from around the world to explore how awakening to our inherent unity can inform efforts toward global transformation.

Jon’s path has allowed him to experience a wide spectrum of the human experience. From dropping out of school at age 13 to attend a centre for troubled youths, to 5 years of homelessness and heroin addiction in his early 20’s to getting clean alone in a room over 6 months. From re-entering education and going on to turn down a PhD with one of the foremost universities in the world, to dedicating himself fully to self-development, healing his traumas and service, to co-leading international projects dedicated to humanity’s collective awakening through new approaches to leadership, power, and purpose.
