We are excited to announce a 10-Step program to our Shangriballa community. Are you tired of constantly searching for inner peace, only to feel like you’re continually fighting your own mind or body? Maybe you've tried meditation, but you still feel like there's a separate "you" inside, stressed, anxious, and trying to keep it all together. You're ready to move beyond basic coping and address the fundamental source of that struggle. The best part? This entire 10-Step journey is entirely FREE for the Shangriballa community! This is our gift to help you experience a seamless, effortless life directly. That's precisely what this program, led by Patrick Boulan and Lisa Silva, is designed for. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced meditator, this journey is your next essential step. Introducing: The 10-Step Journey into Pure Awareness This isn't another course on fixing yourself. It’s an experiential inquiry into the simple, liberating truth of Non-Duality—the realisation of not-two. Over 10 steps, we’ll dismantle the core illusions that create suffering, using your own direct experience as the guide. Each session includes a core conceptual teaching, immediately followed by a custom-guided meditation designed to create an expansive and profound experience for all levels. **The Secret to True Freedom** Step 1 focuses on the course's foundation, introducing basic non-dual teaching and meditation practices. It will include our anchor-setting program, which will serve as a foundation for the rest of the course. We are establishing your Unchanging Container (Step 2)—the spacious awareness that is already whole and peaceful. Everything else happens in this space. Then, we systematically lighten the grip of your deepest identifications: - You'll Bypass the Mind: We’ll spend a crucial week at The Doorway of the Senses (Step 3), tuning into raw, unlabelled input. You see the world vividly, free from the mind’s usual commentary. - You'll Drop the Story: We’ll examine The Narrative of Self (Step 7) and identify the subtle, constant thought that creates the "me." When the I-thought stops, you discover the vast, silent dimension of your being. - You'll Dissolve the Body: A massive shift happens in The Myth of the Body (Step 8), where we stop seeing the body as a fixed object and realise it's just a dynamic flow of pure, shifting sensation. When you stop identifying with the body, the pain and limitation instantly become less personal.

Before you were born, your soul made a sacred agreement to enrol in the Divine Curriculum of Earth School for the purpose of transformation and healing. Within this journey, your shadow is one of the most powerful teachers, revealing the parts of yourself you resist or hide, unhealed wounds, hidden fears and untapped potential. Your shadow mirrors the duality of your existence, the contrast between light and dark that is you. And it shapes the human experience. By embracing it, you reclaim the power it holds. This integration is the alchemy of transforming pain into purpose, and darkness into light. You are not your darkness, but I trust what you’ve learned there to be the tool to spark this. Your shadow shows me the height of your light. We’ll spin and we’ll freeze, melt, break, and bring the sun into night. Inquire with purpose, bring light to the circus. The moments truth speaks make all doubt sound worthless. It’s all such a dream. Breathe, stitch the seam. So what is the beam that your belt’s down from star? It illuminates love and stands right where you are. What is that scar that you wear on your chest? Hang on to love and let go of the rest. You are not your pain, but I see the wisdom it left behind. Every scar, a map, a memory, a guide to the truth you’ll find deep inside. Your wounds let the light seep through, revealing the beauty of all you’ve been through. Bring God to the surface in all that you do. Allow unconditional love to flow through all parts of you. Embrace every shadow, every flaw, every part. For within them lies the whole of your heart. Trust in the journey both calm and wild. Through the depths you free your inner child. This life is a dance between peace and stress. Hold on to love. Let go of the rest.

Wow. We're still feeling the powerful glow from our last Summer retreat! Honestly, we wanted to take a moment and just pour out our gratitude to every single person who showed up. You didn't just attend; you brought your whole, incredible selves. It was more than just a gathering; it was a profound sharing of hunity. We saw such deep, authentic connections being forged, and watching each of you find that deeper link to your own self was simply breathtaking. That feeling? That's what we call magic. What did the retreat confirm for us? That sharing and community are the foundation of healing. Not just for us as individuals, but for all of us, collectively. When we drop the walls and truly connect, the ripple effect is immense. That’s why we do this. To everyone who was there: Welcome to the Shangriballa Family. You are valued, you are seen, and you are officially part of our tribe. This isn't the end of the journey; it's just the beginning of a new chapter together. We can't wait to see the beautiful things you create with the energy and insights you gathered.
