With Jai Dev & Simrit

Featuring Tenzin Robert Thurman



A MESSAGE FROM JAI DEV


Here we find ourselves at a turning point on our planet. It’s a time when nature herself is calling out to us: Pay attention!”

Pay attention to what is truly important in our lives. That which will be important to us on our final breath is indeed that which is truly important to us today. Let us discover the undying. Let us cultivate the everlasting spirit within us, the source of real happiness.  

Pay attention to our home: our glorious planet, her health, and the health of all the precious beings who live here. May it be a Dharma-land where all may flourish and live lives of their own choosing. May our children and their children enjoy the wonders of creation here. 

Pay attention to inner-purpose. For that, we must tune the mind to the subtle nature of reality. For that, we cultivate the inner environment which naturally tunes our mind to reality’s goodness, genuine bliss. 

Pay attention to the suffering of others. For when bliss encounters suffering, automatically it responds through compassion. Understand through compassion, or we misunderstand these times. 

In this spirit, beginning on the evening of Thursday, August 27th...and concluding on the evening of Sunday, August 30th...we will embark on a journey together known as The Dharma Warrior Immersion. From all over the world we will gather via the wonderful technology of our modern-day, to form a virtual sangha, a virtual community of meditators, yogis, lovers, and beautiful human beings. We would absolutely love to have you be a part of this. 

Each morning, we will immerse in the teachings, move our bodies, and enjoy the transporting journey of Kundalini Yoga meditations.

Each afternoon, we will be joined by the legendary Buddhist teacher and scholar, Tenzin Robert Thurman. I consider it a tremendous blessing and opportunity to learn, study and have fun with one of our most beloved teachers and allies on the planet today

Each evening, we will move and meditate to the sublime and intoxicating live music of Simrit, with very special guest, Salif Bamakora. The live-music immersion experience is like nothing else we do. Simrit’s voice, heart, and artistry never fail to elevate and give rise to the transcendent. Get ready for lift-off. 

The Dharma Warrior Immersion is a powerful event. It’s substantive enough in time and subject matter to create meaningful and welcomed change in our lives. Leveraging life’s energy in this way allows us to navigate our current challenges (no matter how profound they may be), with intuitive wisdom, love, and courage.

All sessions will be professionally-streamed live, with a separate zoom-room for the community to practice together and share in the chat. 

All session recordings will also be available for your own schedule immediately concluding the live stream. Even if you can’t attend it all, you don’t have to miss a thing...and you’ll have these recordings to revisit over and over for a lifetime. 

As a Life-Force Academy Member, an owner of one of our Home Courses, or a member of Tibet House, you qualify for an excellent discount, which you'll see below. In addition, your participation in this event will support the Tibet House US and Menla non-profits, who are very much in need of support during this pandemic. 

We’ve done our best to make it as easy as possible for you to participate. There is a payment plan option available and our team is here to support you if you have any questions. 

Wishing you all great love and peace in this challenging time. May all beings experience the joy of reality and be free of suffering!

With Love,

How The Immersion Virtual Works:

  • The Immersion consists of nine video sessions. The entire event will be streamed live, and recordings will be available after.
  • Each session is provided in video format. The week after the Immersion we will be adding audio files. The video format is dynamic and adds a visual element to the learning experience. The audio allows you to listen on the go!
  • You can stream the sessions live from our website and/or download the video/audio files to your computer after the event concludes. This way you can enjoy the content offline after the event.
  • You will own the Immersion content forever and can access it at any time you wish. The virtual aspect of the event offers attendees the ability to relive the Immersion experience again and again.

IMMERSION VIRTUAL REVIEWS:

"I loved the potency of the practices and the discipline it required to commit to the structure from home. The highlights for me were the energy I felt within and around me after the early morning sadhana and chanting, the connectiveness to Jai Dev’s presence even through virtual arena, the delicate and powerful music of SIMRIT, and praying for compassion in solidarity with a worldwide community during a time of great unrest." - Neema 

"I really loved the format. It was wonderful to spend such concentrated time inside a virtual container that spanned several days with community. The Zoom Room was so sweet. Of course, it's just amazing to have SIMRIT live there as well. It's just so special." - Kim 

"It was amazing to be able to still attend - from my living room - and particularly during a pandemic! I love in-person retreats but I found that I could take longer breaks if needed at home, so I could set my own pace. I loved that it was virtual and it didn’t lose any of the potency." - Kristen

"I can't thank all of you enough for creating a sacred space for me to practice more deeply compassion and love for myself and others, and for going deeper into the practice of stillness and deep listening within myself. I felt calm and more connected to my essence, to what really matters." - Sue Ann

"I LOVED the live music. It really enhanced the experience. It also helped that Jai Dev addressed those of us in the Zoom room, encouraging us and reminding us of certain things as if we were all together in one space." - Becca

"I definitely feel calmer. Even though I don't see or interact with LFA members, I feel more connected and a part of the community. The retreat gave me a feeling of belonging. The experience gave me the luxury of time to stay with my connection to what truly matters and to the divine within and that has deepened my confidence as well as a feeling of peace." - Sue Ann

"After the Immersion was over and the challenging contraction of life occurred, I kept coming back to that opening...the one that has given me the lens to see from a mindful and observing place. It is a place where I can cultivate the ability to not grip to the pleasures of life or avoid the pain. It is a vantage point that is constantly being nurtured, but post immersion I've experienced an anchoring that feels substantive. Saying that I am grateful...well...words just seem to fall short." - Mary

"I was renewed in my commitment to a kundalini yoga practice. I loved the feel of community from LFA and the immersion, even though it was virtual, still felt like such a great connection, energetically, with everyone who was doing the meditations around the world at the same time. That was incredible and to revisit that feels like a huge uplift for me in my sentiments towards humanity right now." - Emily

"I feel more self compassion and trust my intuition more. My consistency towards my practice has increased, because I really got the message that I could dedicate my practice to the happiness of others, and it's just so delightful to continue to bring this into focus when I practice now." - Michelle
