Details
A Journey Through the Veil is a 6-day immersion into remembrance, release, and renewal, held during the liminal days of Halloween. Set within the lush natural sanctuary of ChoZen in Florida, the retreat invites you to explore the thresholds between what is known and unknown, past and future, life and death. Through Himalayan Kriya Yoga, breathwork, meditation, sacred ceremony, ancestral healing, and nature immersion, we will explore forgiveness, impermanence, conditioned patterns, and the possibility of inner freedom. Twilight practices and contemplative journeys create space to turn inward, deepen intuition, and encounter the quieter dimensions of experience. The retreat is designed to hold both depth and lightness: a space for meaningful inner work, but also for rest, connection, outdoor activity, laughter, and simply being together.
