You are invited to come to paradise on this pristine Caribbean island in the Bocas del Toro archipelago.
We have a 8 days and 8 nights program to activate your Kundalini Shakti energy in this relaxed, and serene environment which supports such an awakening.
This is a glimpse into the New Earth, where we will come together to sow the seeds for generations to come.
Mark T.J Keane will be your guide on this Quest, who has 20 years experience navigating the Kundalini realm.
After coming together on Sunday evening, from Monday morning to Sunday evening will embark on the main program, following the 7 frequencies of life that manifest as the chakras. This will give us a specific focus for each day, as we allow the process of conscious evolution to unfold naturally.
Every day will start with a Kundalini Yoga kriya (set) and meditation.
Every day we will have the opportunity to dive into the chakras with Kundalini Dance, or at night under the stars, and around the fire with Kundalini Fire Dance.
We will be able to shamanic journey into the Celtic Chakras through the Shamanic Dragon Yoga which Mark has created/remembered..
There will also be exploration of the stars through Ancient Egyptian Serpent Shamanism, which Mark has created/remembered..
Depending on interest Mark can facilitate workshops on the 7 Hermetic principles, the 7 operations of Alchemy, Magical Ritual, Cacao Ceremony, this is YOUR retreat, just reach out, and let him know your heart’s true desire, and he will do his best to meet your needs. Reiki Healing sessions are also available on request.
On the following Monday, after breakfast, we will have a closing circle to share our collective insights and experience.
There will be plenty of time time to kick back and relax, swim/snorkel in crystal clear waters, trek in the breathtaking jungle, take in pristine Caribbean beaches, and see the mesmerising bioluminescence in the waters at night.
You might be lucky enough to spot dolphins from the Yoga deck!

OUR HOST MARK
Mark TJ Keane following a personal awakening over a decade ago has devoted his life to Spiritual Enlightenment. He embarks on this quest as a very real, tangible and achievable goal and inspires others to do the same. Mark runs Sleeping Serpent, an organisation dedicated to bringing elevation to the world.
Kundalini Yoga: Mark is a fully trained and certified Kundalini Yogi.
Having practicing this most powerful form of Yoga for over a decade, he qualified in Anandpur Sahib, Northern India in 2005 with 3HO in the residence of Yogi Bhajan.
Mark brought Kundalini Yoga to Bristol in 2006, and is one of the most recognised Kundalini Yoga teacher serving the South West of England.
Kundalini Dance, where Mark uses his natural ability to use the medium of dance to reach states of absolute bliss and ecstasy. He trained as one a certified Kundalini Dance teacher in Byron Bay, Australia in 2005, one of the first to do so, and brought this practice to the UK in 2006, founding Kundalini Dance UK.
Mark is famous for conducting Kundalini ‘Fire’ Dance journeys out in woodland or sacred stone sites, using shamanic drumming, ritual, dance and fire to honour the seasons and accelerate personal liberation at the eight points of the wheel of the old calendar which is more in harmony with nature.
Through Mark’s extensive personal experience with his own training and practice, and guiding others he is undoubtedly one of the leading experts on using the power of the Kundalini life force and Chakra system for healing and transformation.
Mark ran an official group, known as Echkart Tolle Bristol dedicated to following the wisdom of enlightened master, Eckhart Tolle, and still runs workshops known as a ‘Day of Presence’ where you are guided into a deep state of meditation connecting you to the truth of who you are, the ground of being.
In addition to Sleeping Serpent, Mark also reignited the ‘Conscious Clubbing’ movement in the UK in 2010, which are alcohol, drug free dance events with positive energy and superfood.
This has now evolved into the most advanced system of natural ecstacy through a powerful combination of Cacao Ceremony, Kundalini Yoga, Kundalini Dance, Conscious Clubbing and a Gong Bath, and is known as Kundalini Clubbing.
Mark is now well known for running ‘next level’ transformational retreats around the world using his considerable experience of Kundalini, contemporary shamanism and alchemy etc.

Silence and Meditation have changed my life for the better in so many ways that I love to be able to share these practices with others.
I have found that practicing with a group of people who share the same aspirations is helpful in staying committed as we support each other and create a quiet collective inspiration, from which everyone benefits.
Yoga and meditation, alongside spiritual teachings from different parts of the world have impacted my relationships, my sense of ‘Self’ and my perception of Life in such a way that I feel passionate about sharing these practices and teachings with others.
I am grateful and honoured to have the opportunity to co-create spaces where everyone can feel safe and where we can contemplate our own existence and simply rest together in silence.
On a practical level I am also very interested in how our spiritual endeavours can enable us to contribute to a more peaceful world.
I have found sharing simple practices and healing modalities to contribute to this.
I believe the journey begins when you book.
