Initiates Retreat

Archangelic Awakening

Spiritual Intensive Retreat with Shakti Durga

After drinking from the sacred well of Avalon, the Chalice well of Glastonbury, and receiving the blessings of Michael and Mary, Shakti Durga brings these energies home to ‘the mothership’, our much loved ashram at Cooranbong, Australia.

Having wandered so long in the wilderness, like mystics who have walked before us, we are coming into light unimaginable. The Archangels fearlessly bring their light into the darkest caves and crevasses and absorb the darkness alchemically creating new awareness and potential. In the Kabbalah the Archangels are said to be one with our soul self.

During our week long intensive at Cooranbong Harmony Centre we will explore the ways in which we can connect with and embody the bliss and codes of light, peace and profound wisdom that the Archangels came to share with us.

Each expression of the Elohim has their own flavour. We will explore the mysteries of the Archangels as they sit on the tree of life, and particularly look at the four archangels Michael, Raphael, Uriel and Gabriel. We will also invoke the Great Angel of Mercy and Ratziel, the keeper of the Mysteries.
