MASTERING
THE SIDDHIS 6
THE LAST OF SIX INSTALLMENTS
A course on how to harness the organizing power of Nature
A 'siddhi' is an extraordinary human power, the rare capability to interact with the laws of Nature at their source and influence their expression. In this six part series based on Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, my teacher, Maharishi Vyasanand Giri (Thom Knoles), delves into the mechanics of consciousness interaction and how to awaken these extraordinary capabilities inside you. Capabilities such as exceptional sensory perception, the ability to heal the body, gaining universal awareness to name a few.
While Vedic Meditation is an effortless technique that allows the mind and body to release years of stress so that we can return to our normal self, a sutra is an eyes-closed consciousness formula that develops self-mastery. And ultimately what results is an ability to harness the organizing power of Nature. Once mastered, the siddhis are considered to be the most powerful and advanced technique in a meditator’s repertoire.
MTS6 is the culminating final chapter in the Mastering the Siddhis course series. You are invited to join this unique and rare opportunity to complete Mastering the Siddhis in the intimate setting of the Mendocino redwoods. The extremely limited spaces will go quickly, register now to book your spot. This intimate environment enveloped in nature provides an opportunity for greater immersion into this extraordinary knowledge.

THE LOCATION
HEARTWOOD MENDOCINO
Heartwood Mendocino is a magical place surrounded by towering trees and bathed in coastal air. It is a private retreat sanctuary surrounded by a 50,000 acre redwood forest park land along the Northern California coast of Mendocino (Pomo land). The area is arguably one of the most enchanting coastlines in the world. Within minutes from camp, you can explore a number of bluff-lined beaches, rivers, waterfalls, and state parks with beautiful hiking trails.
The retreat sanctuary includes a hundred year old farmhouse, an outdoor kitchen, shared deluxe bathhouse, an outdoor redwood shower as well as several tent cabins handcrafted from reclaimed wood found on the property complete with heated beds and luxury linens. Our program will be held in the farmhouse as well as in a giant tent on the lawn with lots of room for hopping.
It's a beautiful 3-hour drive North of San Francisco, and only 10 minutes from the quaint coastal town of Mendocino, CA.
ACCOMMODATIONS
The accommodations for the course include tent cabins (private or shared) and on-site glamping tents. There is also the option for on-site camping, or off-site.
The property has eight tent cabins each with queen, single and bunk bed options with cozy linens and heated mattresses. The cabins all share a heated bathhouse with two hot showers, plus an open air yet private shower in a hollowed out redwood.
For those who prefer to camp, there is forest or meadow spaces for B.Y.O. Tent camping.
For those who prefer to stay off-site, you can stay 10 minutes away in one of the many Mendocino inns and B&Bs.
