Living Love, Living Wisdom is a heart-opening weekend immersion designed to cultivate love as a living spiritual practice - within ourselves, in our relationships, and as a felt connection to the sacred intelligence of life itself. Rooted in ancient wisdom and designed for modern hearts, this immersive experience invites participants into a rich ceremonial field of Tantra, shamanic ritual, breathwork, and sound healing.

Led by Miguel Amaru and Reina G., this weekend weaves together ecstatic movement, guided ritual, elemental practices, conscious breath, shadow integration, devotional sound, and embodied meditation. Each session is experiential, relational, and deeply embodied - offering not just insight, but felt transformation. Participants are guided to soften protective layers, awaken vitality, and reconnect with the innate wisdom of the body, heart, and breath.

The weekend will include a curated arc of immersive experiences, including a Friday night Ecstatic Temple Dance, a heart-opening cacao ceremony with live kirtan and devotional music, a deep shamanic and somatic breathwork ceremony, and a closing ceremonial sound healing journey. These cornerstone experiences are woven together with ritual, reflection, and integration to create a cohesive, transformative weekend rather than a collection of standalone workshops.

This immersion is open to all adults - singles, couples, friends, and solo travelers alike. No prior experience is required. Whether you are new to embodied spiritual practice or deepening a long-standing path, the weekend offers a supportive, consent-based container for authentic connection, personal healing, and spiritual renewal.
Through ritual, movement, sound, and stillness, Living Love, Living Wisdom creates a space where love is remembered not as an idea, but as a lived, embodied force - a current that restores intimacy with self, others, and the greater web of life.
Option to attend the whole weekend (scroll all the way to the bottom to sign up! $477) or to purchase individual workshops.

Saturday, February 28
· 9–10:45 AM — Luminous Love: Shamanic Heart Awakening Ritual
An impactful ritual that weaves the ancient wisdom of Tantra and Shamanism with the sacred energies of the elements to create a powerful experiential journey through love's spiritual landscape.
This workshop establishes a soulful foundation, weaving ceremonial practices with experiential exploration.
What to Expect:
Invoking the Elements: Each of the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether—will be introduced in relation to different aspects of love. Participants will engage in simple yet profound interactive activities that highlight the qualities of each element, facilitating a deeper understanding of how these forces influence our relationships and emotional wellbeing.
Guided Shamanic Journey: Experience a profound exploration guided by the beat of the drum through the shamanic lower, middle, and upper worlds. This journey is designed to uncover layers of love—from personal wounds and current relationships to higher visions of unconditional love and spiritual connection.
Ritual of Integration and Dedication: Conclude with a powerful rite of offerings, prayers and dedications that are ritually burned or buried. This act symbolizes releasing old patterns and embracing new insights, supported by the collective energy of the group.
As the ceremony concludes, participants will carry forward the enriched connection and insights gained from the elemental rituals and shamanic journey. Whether joining for this session alone or the full weekend, each person will affirm their path in love, feeling reinvigorated and inspired to embrace the journey ahead with a heart full of newfound understanding.
· 11am-1pm — Temple of the Returning Soul: Elemental Shamanic Soul Retrieval
In shamanic traditions across cultures, it is understood that when we experience shock, heartbreak, betrayal, neglect, or prolonged disconnection, parts of our soul or personal power may withdraw in order to survive. Over time, this can shape how we relate to love — how open we feel, how safe intimacy seems, how alive or guarded the heart becomes.
In this 2-hour ritual workshop, we engage elemental shamanic soul retrieval as a path back to wholeness and love — for ourselves, for others, and for life itself.
We begin by dissolving ordinary perception and establishing the Temple of Consciousness, orienting to the elements at the directions and creating a coherent ritual field. From within this temple, elemental goddesses arise at each gate, serving as guides, protectors, and allies as we journey into the elemental shamanic worlds.
Each elemental goddess leads participants into her realm — Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space — to help locate and retrieve lost pieces of soul or power specifically connected to love:
where we closed
where we hardened
where desire dimmed
where trust fractured
where presence left the body
In some journeys, the goddess may retrieve something on your behalf — traveling beyond time and space to gather the most healthy, vital expressions of that element, returning them to your body and field to restore balance and vitality.
Each element relates to love in a distinct way:
Earth: safety, embodiment, belonging
Water: emotional flow, intimacy, compassion
Fire: desire, passion, joy, aliveness
Air: breath, voice, connection, grief
Space: trust, openness, and the capacity to love without losing oneself
As these elements are restored, so too is our capacity to love in a more whole, grounded, and resilient way.
This workshop is not about catharsis or storytelling, but about direct relational repair with the forces of life themselves. Participants leave with a felt sense of integration, clearer boundaries, and a renewed relationship to love as something embodied, elemental, and alive.
· 1–2 PM — Lunch & Conversation*
A nourishing gourmet vegan meal from Chef Reina G. will be available for preorder or participants may make their own arrangements for lunch.
· 2–4 PM — Sacred Embrace: A Tantric Ritual of Reverence
Experience a heart-opening interactive ceremony honoring the sacred within all. Through tantric ritual, transform how you see yourself and others—uncovering the divine beauty that resides within every being.
Whether single or with a partner, this tantra temple is open to adults from all walks of life and creates a safe, consent-based and judgment-free space designed to dissolve the superficial layers of self, guiding you into the profound depths of your divine nature.
Throughout the journey we will engage in:
Engage in Vocal Resonance: Utilize the sounds corresponding to chakras to open energies and deepen connection, moving from grounding earth tones to ethereal highs, creating a symphony of activation.
Divine Rebirth: Through sound and visualization, dissolve into fundamental awareness and emerge as your divine self in a visualized pure land that reflects our interconnected luminous nature.
Cultivate Divine Presence: Maintain a state of divine pride through eye-gazing, recognizing each participant as a manifestation of divine forms, fostering a deep, non-verbal communion that transcends ordinary interaction.
Dynamic and Intimate Interactions: From ecstatic dance to introspective partner exchanges, engage in activities that balance joyous group dynamics with moments of vulnerability and profound personal insight. Explore each other's presence through nonverbal cues, synchronized breathing, and shared moments of stillness.
Conscious Communication: Dive deep into meaningful dialogues that reveal the heart of your experiences, successes, and challenges, fostering a supportive environment for personal growth and mutual understanding.
Anointing Ritual: We’ll close the ceremony with a powerful anointing ritual, where each participant blesses others with scented roses, offering personalized blessings that seal the shared journey and affirm the sacred connections forged.
Sacred Embrace is more than just a workshop—it is a portal to the heart of Tantra, where every breath and movement is an act of spiritual intimacy and reverence. Prepare to dissolve boundaries and embrace the sacred dance of interconnectedness in a setting that honors the divine in all.
· 4–4:30 PM — Break & Light Snack
· 4:30–7:30 PM — Cacao Ceremony & Kirtan with Mantra & Medicine Music
Join us this weekend for a heartfelt Cacao Ceremony and an uplifting Kirtan session. Begin with the sacred ritual of drinking ceremonial cacao, revered as the "Food of the Gods," to open the heart and deepen connections. As the cacao's warmth spreads, we'll transition into a soul-stirring Kirtan, where ancient mantras are sung in a call-and-response style that invites meditative bliss and communal joy.
The evening continues with Mantra and Medicine Music, using sound to align, heal, and rejuvenate the spirit. This blend of sacred practices cultivates a deep sense of community, joy, and spiritual connection, leaving you refreshed and inspired.
Dress comfortably and prepare for an evening of emotional and spiritual enrichment.
· 8-9 PM — Evening Meal in Community*
A beautiful post-ceremony vegan supper prepared by chef Reina G will be available for preorder or feel free to bring your own meal to enjoy together.
Sunday, March 1
· 9–10:30 AM — Sādhana of the Tantric Shaman: A Living Morning Rite of Alignment, Power, and Devotion
Sādhana of the Tantric Shaman is a living morning rite drawn from the ritual architecture of Pulse of the Sacred—a complete, embodied practice for those who feel called to meet the day as ceremony rather than routine. Rooted in tantric discipline and shamanic ritual technology, this sādhana establishes the body as temple, the breath as offering, and awareness as the bridge between worlds.
Rather than isolating techniques, the practice transmits a coherent ritual spine: opening sacred space, aligning the vertical axis of Heaven and Earth, awakening elemental intelligence within the body, and entraining the nervous system into clarity, presence, and power. Breath, visualization, subtle energy, sensory awareness, and devotional attention are woven into a single, adaptable rite that responds to what is actually present each morning.
This sādhana is both a daily personal practice and an initiatory foundation. With consistency, it trains discernment, self-regulation, and ritual fluency—allowing action to arise from alignment rather than force. The morning becomes a threshold of remembering, and life itself is met as living ritual.
· 10:45-12:45 PM — The Breath of Life: Shamanic & Somatic Breathwork
Experience a powerful awakening through the transformative art of conscious breathwork. In this immersive ceremony, Miguel will initiate you into ancient yogic, tantric and alchemical breathing techniques to expand your consciousness and spark deep healing.
Through specific breath techniques, this workshop will guide you to:
Access higher states of awareness and mystical perceptions
Generate deep emotional healing and breakthroughs
Release stored trauma and energy blockages
Experience a renewed sense of inner peace and self-realization
Increase mind-body connection and energetic sensitivity
Discover your innate power through conscious breath
These breathing techniques can create intense and cathartic experiences as you shed old layers and step into expanded consciousness. Come prepared to surrender and explore the deepest aspects of your being. Allow these ancient breaths to empower your body, heart and spirit.
· 1-2 PM — Lunch & Conversation*
A nourishing gourmet vegan meal from Chef Reina G. will be available for preorder or participants may make their own arrangements for lunch.
· 2:15-4 PM — Loving Everything: Seeing Through the Self — A Tantric Approach to Emptiness
In this workshop, we explore one of the most radical and liberating truths of the wisdom traditions: emptiness is not nothingness—it is the ground of love, freedom, and bliss.
Drawing from Dzogchen, Mahamudra, and the tantric heart teachings, we examine how suffering arises not from experience itself, but from grasping to a solid sense of self. When that grasping relaxes, the heart naturally opens.
Through teaching, inquiry, and embodied practices, participants are guided into a direct experience of sky-like awareness—a spacious, intimate presence that is untouched by praise or blame, pleasure or discomfort.
As the great yogis discovered, when the self dissolves, love is no longer personal—it becomes universal.
What You Can Expect From This Experience
In this workshop, participants are guided through direct, experiential practices drawn from Dzogchen, Mahamudra, and inner tantra—not as philosophy, but as living methods for liberation, intimacy, and awakened presence.
You can expect:
Guided entry into the sky-like mind
Learn to relax identification with thought, sensation, and self-image, allowing awareness to merge naturally with space and revealing emptiness as a lived experience.
Inner tantra techniques for touching emptiness and opening the heart
Subtle yet powerful methods are shared for dissolving fixation on the senses and elements, allowing love, bliss, and compassion to arise from non-grasping awareness.
Sacred mantra as a technology of liberation
We will work explicitly with tantric mantras using them not as devotional recitations, but as precise tools for deconstructing solidity, dissolving self-reference, and resting in clear, open presence.
Embodied insight into how language and labels create suffering
Through lived inquiry, participants feel how praise and blame, beauty and ugliness, create contraction and expansion—and how resting in empty awareness reveals the middle way beyond grasping and aversion.
Practices for moment-to-moment life and relationship
These teachings are not confined to the meditation cushion. You’ll explore how to apply emptiness awareness in live situations—during emotional activation, intimacy, conflict, pleasure, praise, blame, or discomfort—so that presence replaces reactivity and love replaces defense.
This is not a workshop about fixing the self.
It is an invitation to see through the self, and in doing so, discover a freedom that is stable, tender, and profoundly human.
· 4–4:30 PM — Break & Integration
· 4:30–6:30 PM — Shamanic Samadhi: A Ceremonial Sound Healing Odyssey
Dive into a profound sonic journey with "Shamanic Samadhi," an exquisite fusion of tantric wisdom, shamanic traditions, and Nada Yoga—the sacred yoga of sound. This ceremonial sound healing experience harnesses the ancient art of vibrational medicine to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit, guiding participants through a deeply meditative and transformative process.
What to Expect:
Vibrational Symphony: Engage in a ceremonial tapestry woven with the resonant sounds of crystal bowls, gongs, didgeridoos, strings, native drums, flutes, chants, harmonium, and enchanting medicine songs. Each instrument is carefully selected to align with and activate specific energy centers within the body, promoting healing and spiritual awakening.
Expert Guidance: With over two decades of experience in the interwoven disciplines of music, yoga, and shamanic practices, Miguel Amaru orchestrates this journey, utilizing sound as a tool for profound emotional cleansing and spiritual illumination. His mastery in conducting these sessions ensures a space where sound waves become pathways to transcendence.
Deep Connection: Explore the foundational principle of Nada Yoga, where sound is the architecture of the spirit, and vibration is the essence of creation. This session transcends the mere act of listening, inviting you to merge with the sound, experiencing firsthand how vibration shapes reality and consciousness.
Healing Through Harmony: Experience how ancient wisdom and modern practices converge to create a powerful healing experience. The session aims to restore balance and harmony within, by reconnecting you with the elemental sounds of nature and the cosmos, resonating with the deep vibrations of the Earth and the ethereal whispers of the stars.
Transformative Impact: Prepare to be transported on a journey that not only soothes the senses but also empowers the soul. Through this odyssey, uncover layers of your psyche, release pent-up emotions, and awaken to a renewed sense of purpose and inner peace.
Join us for "Shamanic Samadhi," where every note played and every rhythm echoed will open doors to new realms of understanding and being, crafting a sacred space of sound where healing and spiritual growth are not only possible but palpable. This is more than a sound healing session; it's a gateway to the profound, an exploration of the infinite within the audible, and an invitation to live in deeper harmony with the universe.

Full weekend immersion is $477.
