Two Enlightenment Intensives in One Journey in Kenya.
17 days of process from October 20th to November 6th
Are you ready to take your self-discovery and transformation to an entirely new level?
The reason the retreat lasts 17 days is that the time between the two Enlightened Intensives is not simply for resting.
From the moment participants arrive, the retreat process has already begun.
During these days, we will have guided breathing exercises and yoga sessions to support the inner work.
The entire place is reserved exclusively for the retreat. In the evenings, we often come together
during dinner to talk and share experiences.
During the Enlightened Intensive itself, we observe Noble Silence. This means no physical contact, no verbal communication, and no eye contact between participants.
Deep Connections
Imagine the profound insights and breakthroughs you can experience by participating in two in-person enlightenment intensives, with a couple of days in between for rest and integration.
Many participants of online enlightenment intensives have shared how deeply transformative these processes can be when you have two intensives following each other.
Momentum of Sustained Awakening
Transformation often requires sustained focus and energy.
Two intensives in succession build on the momentum of the first, giving you a unique opportunity to stabilize and embody the realizations you uncover.
This creates a lasting impact beyond what a single intensive can offer.
The experience
Here’s why two in-person intensives with time in between can be far
more transformative than just one:
A Deeper Dive into Your Truth
The first intensive helps you break through surface layers of conditioning and distraction, allowing you to touch profound inner truths.
By the time you begin the second intensive, you’re entering from a place of heightened clarity and readiness, enabling even deeper exploration and transformation.
Powerful Integration Period
The days between the two intensives give you precious time to absorb and integrate the insights from the first experience.
This allows your mind, body, and spirit to prepare for an even more expansive dive in the second intensive. It also opens the opportunity to share experiences and meet friends for life.
A Supportive Community and Environment
Being immersed in a supportive, in-person environment with others on a similar journey amplifies the depth of your process.
The bonds you build and the shared energy of the group help you go further than you might alone.
The Structure
The program opens with an evening session designed to gently ease participants into the process,
followed by three full days of focused self-inquiry, meditation, and connection.
It concludes with a half-day dedicated to integration and grounding.
After a few days of rest, participants are prepared to enter the second intensive with renewed energy
and a deeper sense of resolve.
Deep breathing exercises and movement practices will be offered every day between and after
the Enlightenment Intensives. The entire retreat is seen as a continuous process, with integration
taking place throughout the whole stay at Kaya Imani.
The facilitators will be present during this time and will share a variety of supportive exercises.
They will also be available for questions and guidance, and will remain at the center after the retreat.
It is of great value to have someone who has gone through the process available after such transformative events.
