Total Immersion for Total Transformation

January 9–14, 2022

with Raphael Cushnir

Get ready for five intense days of ecstatic rebirth. This small-group workshop is for you if you are ready and 100 percent willing to:

Determine the aspects of your life that are calling for healing and change
Begin that healing and change on the very first day of the workshop
Commit to an action plan for its completion
Take a giant leap forward in consciousness
Help create and support a small, like-minded community committed to the same leap

Raphael Cushnir creates a safe and gentle environment to help call forth your very best, using tools like:

Emotional-release work that combines vipassana, metta, and tantric approaches
Journaling and vision-boarding
Dyadic and triadic communication process
Movement and chanting

The highlight of this retreat is designing a unique transformational experience that’s all your own. You’ll leave with a practical road map for real-life integration, plus benefits you can experience immediately — and for the rest of your life.

Special note: On Tuesday night our group will host a Freestyle Dance Jam, with Raphael as DJ, as a gift for ourselves and everyone at Esalen that night. Remember to pack some loose-fitting attire and get ready to rock and roll and shake and swing and let it all go!

Continuing education for this course is available through the leader.
