CROSSING INTO THE INNER SUN 2027
A Body, Heart & Soul Journey
December 28, 2026 – January 3, 2027
7 days · 6 nights · 9 transformational gates
The retreat is reorganized into a more concentrated and intensive experience, preserving the original
transformational journey, its nine gates, and the essential practices of Tantra Kriya Yoga,
pranayama, breathwork, conscious touch, massage, Egyptian-inspired ritualism, ancestral Mexican
ceremonies, Sufi-inspired practices and conscious manifestation.
The central transition remains December 31 to January 1, with the ceremonial crossing at midnight,
followed by a special New Year’s dinner and sacred dance celebration.
The principal change is the integration of several complementary gates into the same day, creating a
coherent journey without sacrificing the fundamental experiences.
PART I — PRESENTATION
Crossing into the Inner Sun 2027
A Body, Heart & Soul Journey
December 28, 2026 – January 3, 2027
A seven-day initiatory journey of self-transformation, inner awakening and conscious manifestation.
What if welcoming the New Year became an opportunity to transform the way you experience
yourself, your relationships and your life?
Crossing into the Inner Sun 2027 is an intensive transformational retreat that invites you to travel
through your body, emotions, energy, heart and consciousness, moving beyond the limitations of the
past toward the conscious creation of a new life.
Through Tantra Kriya Yoga, pranayama, transformational breathwork, conscious touch and
massage, meditation, sacred movement, ancestral-inspired ceremonies, nature immersion and sacred
rituals, participants will explore nine transformational gates.
The journey begins with grounding and reconnection to the body, followed by emotional release,
energetic purification, awakening of the heart, inner vision and the symbolic death of the old self.
On New Year’s Eve, we enter the central experience: The Great Crossing Ceremony, a sacred
transition between 2026 and 2027, inspired by Egyptian solar symbolism, Tantric energetic
practices and the numerological symbolism of 2027 as an 11/2 year.
As midnight arrives, participants symbolically cross the threshold into their Inner Sun, welcoming
the new cycle through illumination, presence, intention and celebration.The following days are dedicated to awakening the Inner Oracle, conscious manifestation and
integrating the experience into everyday life.
