About The Retreat
A one-day experience consciously curated to experience ALTERED states of consciousness for you to journey inwards. Supported by a plethora of different soundscapes and vibrations, the sacred plant medicine that is cacao and light wave technology, you will be lead into a deep journey of release, shift and up-level. This is a special immersion which combines deeply transformational gong baths with the LiBa Lightbath experience, guided meditations, sacred ceremonies and the ancient healing practice of Kundalini Yoga. “We each have what we are searching for within us; let ALTERED be the vehicle that can allow you to find it.” ~ retreat co-hosts Lizze & Tam ALTERED LIGHT & SOUND BATH Guests will be offered a unique and rare opportunity to activate their pineal gland (also reffered to as the “seat of the soul”) and explore altered states of consciousness through a deep dive journey into the qualia of consciousness, through ‘light wave technology’ and ‘healing sound wave frequencies’. What IS QUALIA? Qualia is part of the phenomenon of consciousness. It includes all of our senses: sight, touch, olfactory, sound and ones rawest feelings, thoughts and emotive responses. Qualia are typically considered to be private to the one experiencing them and ineffable by nature. HOW DOES IT WORK? LiBa is in theory Binaural Beats for your eyes, whereas the sounds experienced from a range of therapeutic instruments such as the Gongs are actual Binaural Beats. Ultimately, they both impact and change the brain wave frequencies of participants. By combining the two we are able to tune into an even more profound and ‘hallucinogenic-like’ experience, triggering a wide range of meditative trance states.
