ALTERED
a special collaboration with
Anicca Sound and LiBa Lightbath
Saturday, 12th November 2022
London, E2
“We each have what we are searching for within us; let ALTERED be the vehicle that can allow you to find it.”
- retreat hosts Elizabeth Broderick & Tamara Klien
A one-day experience consciously curated to reach ALTERED states of consciousness and journey inwards.
WHY: Supported by a plethora of different soundscapes and vibrations, the sacred plant medicine that is cacao and light wave technology, you will be lead into a deep journey of release, shift and up-level.
This is a special immersion which combines deeply transformational gong baths with the LiBa Lightbath experience, guided meditations, sacred ceremonies and the ancient healing practice of Kundalini Yoga.
TIMINGS: 10:00am - 5:00pm
ALTERED Light & Sound Bath
Guests will be offered a unique and rare opportunity to activate their pineal gland (also referred to as the “seat of the soul”) and explore altered states of consciousness through a deep dive journey into the qualia of consciousness, through ‘light wave technology’ and ‘healing sound wave frequencies’.
What is qualia?
Qualia is part of the phenomenon of consciousness. It includes all of our senses: sight, touch, olfactory, sound and ones rawest feelings, thoughts and emotive responses. Qualia are typically considered to be private to the one experiencing them and ineffable by nature.
How does it work?
LiBa is in theory Binaural Beats for your eyes, whereas the sounds experienced from a range of therapeutic instruments such as the Gongs are actual Binaural Beats. Ultimately, they both impact and change the brain wave frequencies of participants.
By combining the two we are able to tune into an even more profound and ‘hallucinogenic-like’ experience, triggering a wide range of meditative trance states.
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to experience the profound potency & power of sound meditation
Anyone who wants to stimulate and activate their pineal gland
Anyone who is curious about ALTERED states of consciousness, searching for an opportunity to relax and go inward
Anyone curios to work with the sacred cacao medicine, personal growth & immersive experiences
Anyone who struggles to express, process or release emotion
Anyone who is feeling like they need to be supported & held instead of holding and supporting others
Anyone who is seeking to deepen their connection with themselves
