During the retreat, participants will receive direct transmission and initiation into the esoteric use of the Kila, known as Shaktipath or empowerment in the Jhankri tradition. You will participate in ancient ceremonies, shamanic journeys, ritual postures, symbolic mudras, and mantras unique to Nepali shamanism. Instruction will focus on rituals for the Kila’s invocation, healing, and protection, with careful attention to sacred protocols and oral teachings.

A key feature of the retreat is the Kila activation, an auspicious event held within the sacred context of the Jhankri Astamangal, the eight symbols representing the cycles of life, death, and rebirth in Nepali Himalayan cosmology. This empowerment marks a significant point in each participant’s spiritual journey, opening the way to deeper protection, healing, and wisdom.

You will perform traditional ritual offerings and recite ancient mantras, followed by hands-on instruction in essential Jhankri techniques and esoteric practices. The retreat concludes with the bestowal of Kila empowerment and individualised healing sessions tailored to each participant’s spiritual needs, guided by Nepali shamanic wisdom.

These sessions are intended to help participants integrate the Kila’s power into daily life, supported by ritual practices, protective rites, and the ceremony of calling the life-essence (Saato), a core aspect of Jhankri healing. The empowerments provided are rare and meaningful, ensuring a lasting personal impact for each participant.

We look forward to welcoming you into the sacred transmission of Nepali Jhankri shamanism, where the Kila’s wisdom will empower, protect, and transform your spiritual journey.

Open to all who are new or have taken up other traditions and healing paths - it's a unique opportunity!

The retreat teachings and ceremonies will be simultaneously translated into French.
