The Stairway of Illumination: A Hathor Intensive
October 31 – November 2, 2008
In this three-day Intensive, we will enter into the mystery of the body/mind/spirit connection. Our focus of attention will be on the subtle energetics of our endocrine system, which consists of seven glands crucial to physical health and, according to many esoteric teachings, to our spiritual illumination as well. We will use a variety of means to explore the inner worlds of perception that open before us when we work with these glands and the energy-fields to which they correspond. Specifically we will use meditation, inner communication with our bodies, and the catalytic sounds of the Hathors through Tom’s nearly four-octave range voice to impart healing and ascension energies to this vital area of our being.
According to the Hathors, the seven endocrine glands are like seven steps in an energetic series, (stairway), which lead up to the pineal gland (the 7th step). This stairway then moves up to the crown chakra (the thousand-petalled lotus) where personal identity merges with the universal transpersonal aspects of being. From this esoteric view, the last step in the stairway of personal identity is the pineal gland, and it is the culminating bioelectric-quantum-circuit of the endocrine system.
The pineal gland is actually wrapped around a type of biological-crystal, and one of its functions (according to the Hathors) is as an antenna for spiritual “light” and spiritual information. Purification and activation of the pineal gland is crucial within esoteric understanding to prepare oneself for the ascension of consciousness. Ascension, in this sense of the word, simply means the elevation of personal consciousness to the higher planes of spiritual vibration. It does not mean the ascension of the body out of physical embodiment.

The Siddhis
November 6 – 9, 2008
This is a four-day intensive Retreat in the meditation practice of the siddhis, and a potent immersion into the siddhic realms of being. The siddhis, themselves, are attributes or powers of consciousness that all humans possess (in potential). According to the siddhic lineage, these powers spontaneously appear within the yogi or yogini as he or she traverses the spiritual path. The purpose of the meditation is not to force the manifestation of yogic powers, but rather to prepare the ground of being so that the seeds of our innate powers can blossom sooner. Although the outcomes may be similar, the methodologies are vastly different.
Thus, those interested in this training need to understand the context within which it is given. This Intensive does not impart yogic powers. Rather it shows you how to cultivate the tree and the root of your own life by making contact with your own innate creative powers (Ananda Brahma, meaning the bliss of creation).
Tom imparts knowledge of the siddhis through a union of scientific information about the brain during meditative states, and Initiation into the shakti of siddhic masters. This joining of the western and eastern perspectives opens a rich territory for self-discovery that leads to a quicker mastery of the meditation.
No previous meditation experience is necessary, although some would be helpful.
Traditionally, this is one of Tom’s most popular Retreats and usually has a long waiting list due to the fact that the venue has a limited meeting space. Early registration is strongly advised, as the island is also a popular resort destination. The siddhis is the cornerstone of the Alchemical School, so if participation in the school is of interest, this is a highly recommended course, and early registration is highly recommended. When the course fills, we will maintain a waiting list by date of pre-registration deposit received.
