KLF Workshop - Comporta Topic: Inner Peace

In July 2025, the Kriya Lightning Foundation will be offering a 2-day in-person workshop on the topic of Inner Peace.

This retreat will be taught by the co-founders of the Kriya Lightning Foundation, Ariel Lee and Chris Tracy.

The workshop will be offered at a private venue in Muda, Comporta, in Portugal.

Topic: In this workshop, we will explore the topic of Inner Peace. What is it? How can we experience more of it? What are the main blocks to experiencing inner peace, and what can we do to release them?

Techniques: We'll learn Open Awareness, an original method that the KLF founders have created and refined over the past 12 years. This meditative technique can be used to effectively release negative thoughts, emotions, and attachments. Practitioners often experience greater lightness, ease, and joy, as shared in testimonials from the global community. We'll also learn a technique for guided emotional release and explore the relationship between Awareness and our inner landscape. Throughout the workshop, we'll address individual limitations to experience greater peace and clarity.

Approach: At the heart of our work is teaching people how to help themselves. We share tools for self-practice that people can use on their own. This is an approach that emphasizes first-hand experience and practical application. The workshop will be a combination of teachings, exercises, and guided release.

This offering is open to all levels of meditators. No prior experience is necessary.

*** Note: This event has limited capacity. Applicants will be reviewed on a first-come first-served basis. ❗️ Registration is required! Deadline to register is May 11, 2025 *** ✨ Apply here: https://bit.ly/klf-comporta-2025-reg
