Guidelines for Newcomers

If you are attending an immersion with Igor for the first time, we warmly invite you to consider an introductory facilitator session Meeting at the Verandah with one of the Flowing Wakefulness facilitators.

As we work by the highest standards, we want to make sure you are prepared for the energetic processes of the immersion and acquire a basic familiarity with the teaching.
You can book a session here: https://igorkufayev.org/introduction-sessions

We also request that you provide some additional information here, just so that we have a bit of an idea of your background. You can potentially do this after having made the booking.

As Tantric meditations incorporating visualisations and imagination form an essential aspect of this work, everyone who is not yet familiar with them, based on previously attended longer immersions, is duly required to take the meditation course “SEEING THROUGH THE HEART: The Vision of Poets & Sages” before attending the immersion. This is to make sure that everyone has a grasp of the meditation methodology used in the program, and the course is a great education in its own right.

Book it here: https://igorkufayev.org/product/seeing-through-the-heart or get one year of free access when you sign up for a yearly membership in our Vibrant Self Online Community, a private space to connect, learn, and grow with others on the path of awakening.

“I was very touched by the deep care, love and support of Igor Vamadeva and the Team. Since my Immersion experience I feel changed and eternally grateful. I witnessed during my process certain patterns that were rooted in fear falling away. Ever since the Retreat I feel much more my true Self, freer, purer and something new and beautiful is unfolding in me. I feel touched by Grace. I know that I will always carry these precious experiences with all my Love and in deep gratitude in the heart of my Soul. Thank you.”
