Curious about the depths of traditional Tantra?

Longing for a substance free, solid energetical clearing?

Join us for an intimate Shaktipat ceremony, a sacred Tantric meditation designed to awaken and cleanse your energy body (Kundalini). This full-moon gathering unfolds through an 5000 year old Indian ritual in the Siddha lineage.

Expect a journey beyond the mind—one that could include a deep meditatiive state, energy shifts, visions, emotional release, or profound inner clarity.

SHAKTIPAT

Shaktipat is a solo meditation, held within the power of collective energy. Through sacred elements—water from the Ganges, Kumkum, sacred ash, and a third eye blessing from the Siddha lineage—you are invited into an ancient Vedic practice of awakening.

Indian chants will carry you deeper into the experience, supporting a safe, yet potent energetic activation.

KUNDALINI

Kundalini is your life force energy, the untapped potential resting at the base of your spine. It can awaken through practices like yoga and breathwork, psychedelic journeys, spontaneous activation (e.g., birth), or energetic transmission (Shaktipat).

This ceremony offers a safe and lineage-held pathway to awakening, gently expanding consciousness and igniting transformation.

Karlijn received initiation through Bud Barber in 2016 (Melbourne) and has facilitated Shaktipat in Koh Phangan, Amsterdam, Berlin & Vienna.

GUEST TEACHER: BODHI BABA (Bud Barber)

Bodhi Baba has over 40 years of experience in training & teaching Tantra Yoga meditation and Kundalini to his students worldwide. He was specifically ordained to administer Shaktipat; to perform Kundalini awakening rituals, by the Siddha Guru, Swami Muktananda (affectionately known as ‘Baba’).

Bodhi’s own ‘Diva Diksha’ or Kundalini awakening occurred on, 6 Aug. 1969 while practicing the ‘fire breath pranayama’. He received his qualification to teach Siddha Yoga on, 28 Aug 1977 and was officially ordained by Muktananda approximately one year later.

He is now one of the few existing traditional Tantra Yoga teachers, chosen by a Siddha Guru, who still performs this ceremony.

Bodhi is the founder of, as well as an instructor at ‘The Heart of Shiva School of Tantra Yoga and Meditation’, and lives part time in Melbourne the USA. He gives workshops and Shaktipat rituals in the US, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, India, Thailand and Hawaii.

Karlijn and Bodhi will perform this ritual side by side to receive the full benefits of his presence and experience their shared qualities.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

“Sinds mijn eerste Shaktipat voel ik een diepere gronding in mezelf. Mijn gedachten lijken rustiger, evenwichtiger en positiever van aard alsof er een stille kracht in mij is ontwaakt die richting en helderheid geeft. Er is meer ruimte in mijn hoofd én hart.” – Raymond

“I entered the space where powerful Indian chants were playing, the altar was lit up, and the ritual began. Immediately I felt energy rush through me, a wave of laughter, blissful sensations, and my heart open wide. My body rocked with the energy and my hands danced into mudras.” – Shashi
