The Convergence 2023

Jesse A Coomer

3 days of elemental initiations and rites of passage to allow that which no longer serves to die and for new you to be reborn.

Mandala Springs

<p>The Convergence is a weekend event that will challenge you to let go of the parts of yourself that do not serve you and birth the new you. It is a retreat for making a connection with yourself and making new friends with others who are also on this journey as well. It is also an opportunity to have a blast while growing healthier and stronger as a human being. Food and sleeping accommodations are included in your ticket price; please read on for details!</p><p>This deep dive into health, wellness, and self-discovery will begin on Friday evening with a ceremony to prepare you for the journey ahead. There will be physical and mental challenges, fellowship with other men and women on this journey, and lots of great food and fun too :)</p><p>This retreat will include deep breathwork, mountain hikes, heat and cold exposures, and ceremonial self-examinations. You are encouraged to be vulnerable and open to the experience and use the time to focus on leaving behind unwanted thoughts, habits, self-judgements, etc. and focus on becoming the man or woman that you want to be.</p><h2>Tentative Schedule:</h2><h2>Friday July 14</h2><h2>Check In: 4pm to 5pm</h2><h2>Welcome/Funeral Ceremony 6pm</h2><p>The Funeral Ceremony is designed to help participants say goodbye to a part of themselves that is no longer serving them. This is a ceremonial way to say goodbye. Perhaps it is a poor self-image or guilt that you no longer wish to carry... let it die!! You can bring something to burn on the pyre to symbolize this thing that you are letting go, but there will also be ceremonial tobacco available for you to sprinkle on the fire to symbolize the release from this part of you that you are letting die! </p><p>After the funeral, we begin The Convergence and begin to work of birthing a new part of yourself to take the place of that old part that has just died. As you are challenged physically and mentally over this weekend, you will have the opportunity to visualize this new aspect of yourself so by the end, you will return to the world reborn!</p><h2><strong>Feast 6pm</strong></h2><p>Celebrate our new family for the weekend with some great food, showcasing local wild ingredients!</p><h2>Saturday July 15</h2><h2>Guided Listening Exercise Breathwork</h2><p>Begin the day with a guided session of breathwork designed to connect you to your unconscious self, to allow you to fully connect to what your heart is trying to tell you. Led by Jesse Coomer</p><h2>Primal Movement and Sensory Mastery</h2><p>Join Rob Lenfestey in a deep dive in how your body was intended to move! Learn to de-program your body out of dysfunctional movement patterns and reprogram it with the movement patterns that our bodies were born for. We will dive deep into the skills that you need to re-habitualize your movement and your relationship to your senses so that you may experience a greater extent of the full power available to the human body.</p><h2>Ceremonial Sweat Lodge</h2><p>Join us with our Naive American elder Yona for a traditional Cherokee ceremony where we will sweat and contemplate our connection to our ancestors. Prepare to sing traditional songs and connect more deeply to the spirit of the land and ourselves. We enter the womb (lodge) are forged in the fire, stone, water and air, and emerge reborn again. </p><h2>Cacao Ceremony</h2><p>The Convergence happens at mandala Springs, home of Mandala Chocolate, the most nutritious chocolate on Earth and one of the most intentional on the planet. We will drink a powerful does of cacao blended with local widlcrafted herbs and learn about the magic of this sacred plant. Cacao ceremonies are beautiful, heart opening events that help us deepen our connection to ourselves and others.</p><h2>Music and Dance Celebration</h2><p>Deepen our skills in primitive movement and express our cacao supported openness through dance and music! We will be joined by phenomenal musicians including our very own Rob Lenfestey on keys and Piano ands percussion and Jesse Coomer on Guitar!</p><h2>Sunday July 16</h2><h2>Shamanic Breathwork</h2><p>Jesse Coomer leads participants through a deep dive introduction to shamanic breathwork, providing a powerful way to connect with your intentions for the weekend and with our unconscious-self. This is a powerful session, allowing participants to quiet the over-thinking mind to reconnect with your intuitions. </p><h2>Rebirth Ceremony </h2><p>With everything we have learned and grown we will put all of our new skills to the test in this challenge and ceremony. It is a beautiful thing and we won&#x27;t spoil it by adding too much more detail here.</p><h2>Closing Ceremony</h2><h2>The event will conclude at 4pm Sunday July 16</h2><p><strong>THE FOOD IS AMAZING!</strong></p><p>We will be served by renowned and creative local Chef Chris Mobley featuring local wildcrafted and organic ingredients to deepen our tangible connection to this incredible place.

His book has sold thousands of copies all around the world and is one of the most recommended books on the topic of breathwork.
