Kila - The Dhami - Jhankri - Shaman's ritual healing tool
July 2 – July 5, 2026
Ecolieu Chantalame du Jura, Fontainebrux, France
Embark on a profound journey into the advanced practices of Nepali-Himalayan Shamanism. This exclusive retreat is tailored for those with a genuine passion for spiritual healing, offering an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich teachings of the Kila (also known as Thurpi). Prepare to be transformed as you are introduced to the sacred ritual healing dagger, the Kila.
Revered for centuries, this ancient tool predates its adoption by Buddhism, Hinduism, and Tantrism. It holds the remarkable power to extract spiritual illnesses, cleanse spaces, charge healing waters, impart blessings, and connect with the very centre of the cosmos for shamanic work. Engaging with the Kila is a rare privilege that calls forth, activates, empowers, and grounds the spirit.
Participants will learn to cultivate this powerful tool in their everyday lives, fostering deeply transformative spiritual connections. This retreat promises both experiential and theoretical insights into the Kila's sacred use, guiding you in spiritual healing, protection, and the creation of sacred spaces.
As an extension of the shaman's spiritual body, the Kila symbolises the profound power of the three worlds. Throughout the retreat, you will undergo a remarkable transmission and initiation, often referred to as an empowerment. You will master various ceremonies, journeys, postures, mudras (gestures), and mantras. At the same time, rituals will be introduced and practised on the Kila and other relevant themes.
The Kila activation is a pivotal moment, taking place at the heart of an auspicious Jhankri Astamangal, which embodies the eight symbols of life's cyclical evolution. This sacred time of empowerment is of utmost significance. Each participant will conduct ritual offerings and recite relevant mantras, followed by instruction in essential techniques and esoteric practices.
A highlight of the retreat will be the bestowing of Kila empowerments, complemented by individualised healing sessions tailored to address your unique spiritual needs. These sessions will guide you in weaving the Kila's powerful essence into your daily life, alongside rituals, protective rites, and a profound life-essence calling ceremony. The empowerments offered are invaluable, ensuring each participant receives unique benefits.
We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to this life-changing retreat!
