Juan is the founder and director of the Inkarri Multicultural Organization and the creator of Pneuma System or The Path of Knowledge - a new synthesis of psychology and spirituality One of the principal tools within this system is Pneuma Breathwork a practice that facilitates access into amplified states of consciousness and in combination with the teachings offers a powerful path for spiritual transformation

For more than thirty years Juan has given conferences at numerous institutes universities and congresses He also shares a great legacy of teachings and practices - inspired by his guide and master The Golden Eagle - through the seminars retreats and training courses that he leads in the Pneuma System

His teachings range from the transpersonal to the mythic covering transcendental topics such as unveiling the knowledge that was set down by the f irst Christians in the Gnostic manuscripts of Nag Hamadi

Youth will experience personal insight or revelation

In many mystical traditions experiences of direct insight or revelation are considered indispensable for genuine spiritual growth Pneuma Breathwork offers us a transpersonal experience of Truth through which the veils of our limited ego-identification temporarily lift and we are able to experience our ever-present Inner Being and the many latent virtues contained within it Incorporated into the process is music and mandala making

life is just starting I realize things about me that I have

never realize before and the reason for these things -

The camp made a huge difference in every way for my

life Thank you for making Teen Journey possible -

I will have more confidence in my actions And

remember to breathe in times of stress I will not judge

others because by judging others and making

comparisons I am only closing myself off to things and

experiences I will remember that life is only one aspect

of our whole being and our connection to each other

and the Earth is the fire that burns within us and makes

us who we are There is no me and you us and them -

My daughter doesnt like committing to anything

especially something that takes her away from home

She didnt even want to go to Teen Journey but on her

return she wanted to sign up for the next year

Attending the monthly activities is something she looks

forward to I know it doesnt sound like a big deal but it

is I am grateful to Teen Journey for giving my daughter

a place where she can be herself and challenged to see

the possibilities of more - Victoria Keddis

Maecenas aliquam maecenas ligula nostra accumsan taciti Sociis netus non dui cras

Gaden Shartse

Established 1409

Gaden Monastery is one of the most renowned monasteries of Tibet It was actually specified by the Buddha - Sakyamuni himself 2500 years before its founding date in 1409

Gaden Monastery and Drepung Monastery are located in the Doeguling Tibetan Settlement in Mundgod in the North Kanara district of Karnataka State South India approximately 400km north of Bangalore (Bengaluru) and 600km south of Mumbai (Bombay) The nearest large city is Hubli which is approximately 45km north

ldquoUntil modern times when it became mostly a civic task education was considered a sacred work It was sacred because it involved the indwelling spirit in the student and because it required an awakened spirit in the teachers Spirit to spirit genius to genius soul to soul go the true lessons that help young people become themselves Ultimately each person holds the key to the story trying to be lived from within but first someone else must help unlock the mystery of onersquos liferdquo

-Michael Meade

This multi-cultural experience is a trip of a life time working with world masters while gaining appreciation for Indiaʼs and Tibetan cultures customs traditions and rituals

Cultural Exchange

Where do youth get their myths today

ldquoThey make them up themselves This is why we have graffiti all over the city These kids have their own gangs and their own initiations and their own morality and theyrsquore doing the best they canrdquo

Joseph Campbell The Power of Myth (p 9)

In order to discover their true power and who they are it is necessary for the teen to face and overcome challenges Through their struggles they discover a new sense of self worth and inner power They then are able to step into their new status as a young man or woman in the larger community

Where do youth get their myths today

ldquoThey make them up themselves This is why we have graffiti all over the city These kids have their own gangs and their own initiations and their own morality and theyrsquore doing the best they canrdquo

Joseph Campbell The Power of Myth (p 9)

In order to discover their true power and who they are it is necessary for the teen to face and overcome challenges Through their struggles they discover a new sense of self worth and inner power They then are able to step into their new status as a young man or woman in the larger community

I will have more confidence in my actions And

remember to breathe in times of stress I will not judge

others because by judging others and making

comparisons I am only closing myself off to things and

experiences I will remember that life is only one aspect

of our whole being and our connection to each other

and the Earth is the fire that burns within us and makes

us who we are There is no me and you us and them -

Juan is the founder and director of the Inkarri Multicultural Organization and the creator of Pneuma System or The Path of Knowledge - a new synthesis of psychology and spirituality One of the principal tools within this system is Pneuma Breathwork a practice that facilitates access into amplified states of consciousness and in combination with the teachings offers a powerful path for spiritual transformation

For more than thirty years Juan has given conferences at numerous institutes universities and congresses He also shares a great legacy of teachings and practices - inspired by his guide and master The Golden Eagle - through the seminars retreats and training courses that he leads in the Pneuma System

His teachings range from the transpersonal to the mythic covering transcendental topics such as unveiling the knowledge that was set down by the f irst Christians in the Gnostic manuscripts of Nag Hamadi

Youth will experience personal insight or revelation

In many mystical traditions experiences of direct insight or revelation are considered indispensable for genuine spiritual growth Pneuma Breathwork offers us a transpersonal experience of Truth through which the veils of our limited ego-identification temporarily lift and we are able to experience our ever-present Inner Being and the many latent virtues contained within it Incorporated into the process is music and mandala making

Juan is the founder and director of the Inkarri Multicultural Organization and the creator of Pneuma System or The Path of Knowledge - a new synthesis of psychology and spirituality One of the principal tools within this system is Pneuma Breathwork a practice that facilitates access into amplified states of consciousness and in combination with the teachings offers a powerful path for spiritual transformation

For more than thirty years Juan has given conferences at numerous institutes universities and congresses He also shares a great legacy of teachings and practices - inspired by his guide and master The Golden Eagle - through the seminars retreats and training courses that he leads in the Pneuma System

His teachings range from the transpersonal to the mythic covering transcendental topics such as unveiling the knowledge that was set down by the f irst Christians in the Gnostic manuscripts of Nag Hamadi

Youth will experience personal insight or revelation

In many mystical traditions experiences of direct insight or revelation are considered indispensable for genuine spiritual growth Pneuma Breathwork offers us a transpersonal experience of Truth through which the veils of our limited ego-identification temporarily lift and we are able to experience our ever-present Inner Being and the many latent virtues contained within it Incorporated into the process is music and mandala making

I will have more confidence in my actions And

remember to breathe in times of stress I will not judge

others because by judging others and making

comparisons I am only closing myself off to things and

experiences I will remember that life is only one aspect

of our whole being and our connection to each other

and the Earth is the fire that burns within us and makes

us who we are There is no me and you us and them -

is I am grateful to Teen Journey for giving my daughter

a place where she can be herself and challenged to see

the possibilities of more - Victoria Keddis

I will have more confidence in my actions And

remember to breathe in times of stress I will not judge

others because by judging others and making

comparisons I am only closing myself off to things and

experiences I will remember that life is only one aspect

of our whole being and our connection to each other

and the Earth is the fire that burns within us and makes

us who we are There is no me and you us and them -
