Workshops


Courses held in 2011

    Shabdan and Shastra

    Our plans for 2012 are still open. Please scroll down for information on workshops held previously. To hear about 2012 plans as they develop, sign up to our email list

    Courses run by Shabdan and Shastra under the auspices of Iona Light are detailed below. Please see below for information and dates, after the information about the Shambhala Heart Ascension School.

    Events already planned are listed here. More may be added as the year progresses, so please keep an eye out on this page, or sign up to our mailing list for notification. Some events have multiple dates, so please scroll down to see everything.

    Our new and greener payment policy: in order to save energy, paper and admin time, we are now asking you to send your deposit together with a balance cheque for a specified date. The deposit is non-returnable, and the balance can be returned up to the date on the cheque - except for residential courses (for more information on terms and conditions click here. This enables us to honour financial commitments with venues, saves time, letters/phone calls and energy chasing up balances and uses fewer envelopes, stamps and paper. It also leaves Shastra more self-healing time! We hope you will support us in this.

    For a list of all events in date order, including health fairs and talks and workshops at shows, please see the Programme page.


    Shambhala Heart Ascension School

Shambhala Heart Ascension School courses are ascension training courses and attunements, and participants will receive completion certificates for the modules they choose to take.

    Iona Light Workshop Programme 2011


    An-tu Attunement Weekend, 15 - 17 April 2011

    This is an opportunity to take Ascension Reiki further, through deep attunements to An-tu energy. An-tu is pure love from Source. Once you are attuned to this beautiful high vibration, An-tu starts to radiate through your energy field as well as your hands when you use it, and this is enhanced with every attunement level you take. An-tu is wonderful to work with, and closely linked to the other realms of consciousness on the Earth so that it is a perfect medium for healing. The An-tu angels and your An-tu guides will always support you when you use it, and the more recent technique developments (An-Sii) mean that you can use it in very powerful ways for personal and Earth healing.

    Our multi-level Attunement weekend will take place at the Haybergill Centre near Appleby in Cumbria where we can enjoy the energy and learn together surrounded by nature, birds and native red squirrels. The amazing energy of An-tu takes your energy to a much higher plane. It brings you into a very special relationship with the natural world as well as offering a high-vibration healing attunement. The pure love energy of An-tu radiates out from your energy field like the ripples from a pebble dropped into a crystal clear pool.

    There are now 4 levels of An-tu, each of which can be given over a weekend. Every level consists in 3 or 4 attunement elements, with integration and teaching time between. Participants who have taken the Ascension Reiki attunement can attune to An-tu Level One - or for those already attuned to Level One, an attunement to Level Two, and so on. As each attunement is taken the energy level of the whole system rises and the weekend should be very special. Meeting as a group like this will give everyone a chance to spend time with others in the An-tu community. Shabdan will supervise each attunement and hold the space for you to enjoy this beautiful experience. Some of the teaching will be communal and some in separate groups, depending on whether you have already learned the enhanced healing techniques that now accompany the attunement (handbook provided).

    This is a fully-residential course with excellent vegetarian catering provided by the Centre so that you can focus on integration and study (special diets catered for, but all requirements beyond vegetarian must be notified well in advance). Accommodation is in shared rooms, mainly en-suite. If you have worked with Ascension Reiki consistently or ave already received na An-tu attunement, you are eligible for this unmissable course. Places are limited, so please register early if you want to attend. We look forward to sharing An-tu with you.

    Cost: for registrations before 20 February, £395 for the weekend (Friday 6pm to Sunday 4pm) including accommodation, meals, documentation and certificate. For registrations after 20 February the fee is £445. Deposit £200 on registration, balance payment/s to be dated latest 20 March (but payment plans also available - please call us to discuss) and enclosed with deposit. We have had to introduce new procedures for registration and payment for residential courses. Click here to read these.


    Intensive Master Class Weeks, April to October 2011

    Intensive Master Classes with daily sessions held at The Source Project,located near Grewelthorpe (North of Ripon in the North Yorkshire dales), each for a limited number of people to work intensively with Shabdan. Many people enjoyed these workshops in 2010, and if you are interested in your own spiritual development you are very much encouraged to apply. Shabdan will check with Your guides to make sure you are ready, so there is no reason to hesitate about getting in touch. The format in 2011 will be different from 2010, but the quality of healing offered by Shabdan continues to increase as his own vibration rises, and the potential benefits of these courses are undisputed among those how have already attended. The feedback from 2010 was overwhelmingly positive and many participants booked return visits. So far we have been able to coordinate 6 weeks where the site is available at the same time as the accommodation we have chosen. We hope to find ways to hold further Master Classes in 2011, so if you cannot manage any of these dates but are still interested, please let us know.

    Master Classes with Shabdan provide an exciting opportunity for you to reach deeply within and heal karmic and emotional issues in a high-vibration environment. Each course will have small group of participants, giving you intensive access to the healing work that Shabdan can offer you. Working with the energy of Shambhala and the Sacred Rays of Creation, he will help you deal efficiently with many layers of karmic and emotional issues at an accelerated pace, allowing you clear as much as you are able. You will concentrate on self-healing, building your light quotient and consolidating your spiritual stability throughout the course.

    This intensive experience is intended to be highly beneficial to your spiritual journey, helping you to prepare well for the coming shift in consciousness that we are all working towards. Shabdan feels it is important for a growing group of people to be able to hold their light at the clearest possible level now to facilitate the consciousness shift. Through this course you will deepen your mastership and spiritual power. This is a special time for you.

    In the mornings you will work on meditation and self-healing using Shabdan's powerful tools and keys. The afternoon session work will be conducted with the whole group over a portal to the Sacred Rays of Creation. Some of it will be undertaken within a pyramid energy space known as the Temple of Ank-Qor. This is a highly tuned individual space that will help you connect deeply with your divinity and clear very quickly and deeply. In addition, we will be using uu-crychtu – the special healing mat that Shabdan uses for healing sessions with clients. He will pay close attention to your energy systems and spiritual needs, helping you to unlock the energy blocks that persist within you. You will be supported by a large team of masters, angels and devas, guides and Shambhala as we carry out this healing work.

    Accommodation in 2011 will be in a comfortable shared house a few miles from The Source Project venue. This provides proper kitchen and bathroom facilities (hot water, shower and bath) and a communal lounge for spiritual work or relaxation. The rooms are singles or twins. This allows you to spend time in Shabdan's energy in comfort.

    Shabdan would like those who attend Master Classes this year to be versed in the techniques for self-healing that he teaches through the In Shambhala Fields courses. We are happy to talk about arranging courses or individual tuition for those who need it – please just mention when applying.

    December Retreat - Mystery School
    5 - 17 December 2011

    Personal healing sessions on uu-crychtu Shabdan invites you to join him on a special spiritual retreat this winter. Living for 12 days, before Christmas, in a community of like-hearted lightworkers, this retreat and healing time is an opportunity to learn to live at a higher vibration and develop/enhance a spiritual practice that you can maintain afterwards. It will be like a modern mystery school where the potential to live at a higher vibration is unpacked and explored. The venue is a lovely eco centre set in the Cumbrian Hills and offers seclusion for the 12 days you are there, with heated twin rooms, mostly en-suite, polished wooden floors and a wood-burning stove. This is a space in which you can immerse yourself in the spiritual, free from the encumbrances of the outer life. We will cook and eat together, share together and undertake individual and communal spiritual exercises that will increase your vibration permanently.

    In daily group sessions, we will work together on uu-crychtu mats and other state-of-the-art spiritual tools that are not yet on public release and come to deeper insights into the higher dimensions that are now opening to us. In this inspiring environment, new ways of working with spirit may come forward and you may have the chance to try out new techniques as they unfold. The retreat is a preparation process for the coming consciousness shift. We will use our combined energies both to open our own consciousness to higher possibilities and to offer increased healing and support to the world.

    Shabdan has recently moved into alignment with Supra-Consciousness, and this has opened up new spiritual avenues. Under his guidance, we will work intensively with The Ek’han Schools of Light and Wisdom in Supra-Consciousness to unfold the fifth dimension as far as we can and live within its vibration while we are together. This Mystery School Retreat offers unique experiences and teachings that are new to this world and will help you in new and powerful ways.

    Course elements include a programme of:

    • Self-healing time in our healing college – using special tools developed by Shabdan
    • Heart Dancing – a special body-led movement system developed by Shabdan to open and to integrate the higher frequencies that we will embrace during the course
    • Special healing meditations, including Sat-Ura
    • Group exploration time
    • Music and Rhythm work linking into the fifth dimension
    • Mer-Ka-Ba activations to the twelfth dimension
    • Spiritual social time
    • Deep immersion in the higher planes through sacred sound and divine connection
    • Daily practices including work on the highly celebrated healing mat uu-crychtu to help expand consciousness and integrate new consciousness matrices

    The Mystery School Retreat will include the daily use of “In Shambhala Fields”, Sheh-An-Na-Shan and Veh-An-Na-Shan and other techniques. For those who have not been able to do it yet, training for Sheh-An-Na-Shan and Veh-An-Na-Shan will be offered prior to or on the course, by arrangement. The retreat ends on a Saturday to allow you time to return home and integrate your healing experience.
