SEDONA PRIVATE RETREATS
Sacred Knowledge & Divine Transmission
Private Retreat Guidelines
A private retreat with the Mataji Rishi is an immersive experience in the divine. The deeper your immersion, the greater your awakening, and the more encompassing your transformation on a lasting basis. As you prepare for attendance, your heartfelt alignment, highest intentions, and eager openness prepare you with optimum entry into her presence Your receptivity also commences a far more heightened connection with your master-self and spiritual guides. As you open your heart to welcome expansions and inner deepening beyond all past experiences, you are truly readying yourself for the Rishi’s radiance, the love and power of the Great Masters, and a great leap of forward in higher consciousness and your integrity of humanity
Soul Synthesis:
You will be joining like-minded souls who respect and honor your path and embrace your process of self-realization. Sensitivity and kindness to one another creates an open door to greater group synthesis. Becoming empty of agenda, and yet, welcoming of the divine embrace, brings the beauty and power of the principle of “spiritual anticipation” into an active potency. You have been accepted for attendance for your overall readiness, your positive karmic merits, and the integrity of your soul’s blueprint of divine purpose. The reflections that you experience from your exchange with the souls who join you for this retreat, will be very purposeful. Refections that serve your growth will be ongoing. A powerful divine synthesis amongst you will be of the highest accord, as you reflect to one another realizations for awakening and divine remembrance.
Spiritual Focus:
The Rishi’s broadcast of divine radiance to you personally begins before the first day of your retreat. It will be on the increase from the moment you make your commitment to attend at the soul level of your consciousness. Setting your intention to be more mindfully aware prior to your arrival allows your heart of hearts, energy field, and your antahkarana—”pillar of light”—to begin quickening in vibration and receptivity, to optimize your overall shift to a more cohesive, coherency of consciousness. It is advised and a very wise decision to put aside your personal and professional obligations for the period of the retreat. Give your cell phone a much-needed rest. Cell phones must be turned off at all times while in the Rishi’s Abode of the Masters. Phone calls may not be conducted during retreat hours and even noon-time lunch breaks should be considered as your sacred time for your soul’s respite.
Divine Immersion:
The Rishi’s private retreats are offered on an invitational basis and each applicant receives the illumination of the Master Rishi to increase the spiritual quickening of higher consciousness as you take the step to enter the Sedona Gateway for Enlightenment. It is a rare opportunity for divine immersion and major spiritual activations, including the holy illumination for taking initiation. Taking time to center yourself by early arrival is the greatest gift to your soul that you can provide. When possible, it is advised to arrive a day or two early to bask in the beauty and heightened energy of Sedona. Taking time to stay a least an additional day after the weekend, gives you the very critical time to integrate your experience, rest and recharge. The Rishi’s presence emanates a very potent radiance and taking spiritual initiation is common. Integrating your initiation afterward is essential to anchoring your new vibration into your life.
Daily Arrival:
Morning sessions will begin promptly at 9am. Please arrive at our private estate ( location and gate code upon registration) by 8:45 am each morning. We will begin alignment, centering, meditation and mantra prior to the Rishi’s entrance. Each day as you arrive, attune to the sacred vibration that envelopes the Rishi’s sanctuary well before you walk through the doors. Sedona is an activating and embracing influence. The Rishi is an immaculate beacon of supreme light and a “sagamata” which means heart of the great ocean. Your sincerity is a very sacred thing and assures you of receiving the greatest overall illumination that elicits the personal breakthroughs that are the hallmark of your deepening with the Rishi.
Dietary Needs:
Please let us know of any food allergies, dietary restrictions or observances you may have upon your arrival. Our lunch buffet and desserts will be as organic as possible, and non-dairy, non-gluten, and vegetarian options, as well as source ingredients, will be labeled. Honey and stevia will be provided as sweeteners. In some cases, you may need to bring any specific food or herbal items with you, if so, please label them with your name, so that they are identified in the refrigerator, etc. Rishi advises eating lightly in the evening. An evening snack or light meal from our local venues is likely to be sufficient and we have provided a list for your review. A sustaining breakfast is advised. Keeping your blood sugar levels balanced is a positive. Healthy snacks will be available in addition our lovely noon-time luncheon buffet. Avoiding over-eating can be a positive. Above all, listen to your higher-self and follow your spiritual guidance to advise you should any dietary adjustments or additions to your nutrition be helpful. Your retreat is an opportune time to become more sensitive to what your body and soul are signaling you.
Retreat Apparel:
Please be attentive to wear respectful apparel that honors the light of your soul, the spiritual master Rishi Devra Adi Maa, as well as your group members. Modesty for females and dignity for males is encouraged as a means of shifting your focus to your higher self. The Rishi’s wisdom of advisement is that when you take care to consciously clothe yourself to honor your divinity, you are bringing vibrational refinement to your experience. You are entering a sacred space each day and preparing yourself consciously to do so, brings a depth of energy awareness to how you honor yourself and the significance that you place upon your retreat as a spiritual gateway for your ascension of consciousness. You may wish to rest and even take a nap during the 2 hour afternoon break period and freshen your clothing mid-day if you wish. Please also feel free to bring any personal items that enhance your meditations such as favorite cushions, shawls, slippers or other supportive items. The Rishi’s initiates often like to wear white to a private retreat of this profound nature, however, the principle that we encourage overall is to honor your divinity. Note that the weather may be very changeable in the desert-highlands. Please also bring outdoor clothing suitable to the season for hiking and sacred tours into the Sedona outback.
Walks & Swims & Theater at the Abode:
The Rishi’s abode sits in one of the most powerful vortexes in all of Sedona and is located in a secluded, serene gated community overlooking Cathedral Rock. You are welcome to arrive early for a morning walk along the winding road near he Abode. The views are spectacular and the walking is easy and relaxing. There is a lovely swimming pool at the abode that you may swim in and just float in the sun during our extended lunch break and afternoon personal time. You will also invited to delve into the Rishi’s transmissions and discourses by watching a selection of her videos in our theater room. We invite you to relax, steep in the vortex energy, receiving the Rishi’s divine transmission and simply letting go.
Unity & Group Consciousness:
A reverent respectful attitude of “satsang and darshan” is encouraged, which means to share truth, by leaving your shoes or ego at the door, sans your professional facade, symbolically barefooted and empty-handed. Attune to the soul energy of the group with whom you will share your aspirations for personal growth. The amassing of the group energy throughout the retreat, as well as thereafter is a monumental positive for one and all. “Meditative Samyama” will be an active observance of liberation and service to all beings. Service is a powerful principle, one that the Rishi emphasizes. The humility of the selfless-self is the most empowered state of presence. Being willing to drop the persona, to wholly embrace your illumined presence is your gift to yourself and to the group of fellow travelers with whom you are entering the gateway of a divine journey. Offering your progression of awakening as a sacred intention for the awakening of all souls promotes a selfless attitude. What you heal, learn, and awaken within yourself is energetically potent to empower souls to have similar openings on a global basis, when your intention fosters planetary transformation and awakening for all beings. The Rishi is a Planetary Regent of the Great Masters, whose mission embraces a global scope of higher purpose, thus her presence always broadcasts illumination for all beings.
Personal Care:
Drink more water than usual. The Arizona weather is both hot and dry and hydration will be essential. The process of high-energy purification also requires plenty of water to continually flush your system. Fortify your body more than usual. Provide your body with multi-vitamins and minerals and support your system with digestive aids such as probiotics. Bathe more if you feel guided. Rest more than usual. Sleep more than usual both before and after your retreat. Withdraw from mundane, worldly drama as much as possible. Avoid excessive caffeine and alcohol; both are dehydrating and toxic in excess. Give your cell phone a true rest. Let friends, family, and colleagues know that you will be “on retreat.” Breathe deeply and fully, taking cleansing breaths throughout the day. Let your body relax and “let-down.” When you exhale deepen your relaxation and truly “let go.” Let your feet connect and ground with Mother Earth and let your heart soar and immerse with the Divine Embrace.
