PATRICK O’CONNOR – “BROTHER”

Struggling with suicidal depression for most of my twenties, I was never a big fan of living life.  However, seeing behind the curtain of what we perceive as reality has always fascinated me.  Then in June of 2000, after another hospitalization for a suicide attempt, I had what many describe as a Satori experience; an instant awakening. Wayne Dyer’s CD, “Meditations for Manifestation” was the catalyst for this radical shift to occur.  After one hour of “ommm-ing” and “ahhh-ing”, I opened my eyes to see colors that I had never seen before, heard sounds that I had never heard before and realized that I was not longer a separate drop of water in the ocean, but the ocean itself. I walked outside and forms no longer existed; only shifting and vibrating colors, universal truths made themselves known to me, meditations felt like download sessions with instant access to anything and everything; my mind became so clear, I could literally see peoples thoughts, so physically sensitive that I could feel the vibration and toxins in everything I put into my body and a sense of peace that I had never felt before.

At the time, I thought this bliss would never go away and that I would never experience depression again, but I soon realized that this was not the case.  I did not know how to  sustain this vibration within my being and within a few months, I found myself right back in the darkness. However this time, after having a direct of experience “one-ness” and of “limitless, unbounded, eternal” consciousness, my perception of what I had always seen as a curse, I recognized as a great gift.  A gift to be embraced, honored and shared.

Learning to embody and integrate the awakenings occurring globally, as well as understanding how the “darkness” plays into them, became my calling. I left the US for the first time in 2005 and have been traveling the wolrd ever since, facilitating retreats and workshops to assist others in awakening higher consciousness through the purification of the body, mind and emotions. Spiritual fasting, yoga, meditation, chanting, mantra, intuitive healing, light being communication, hypnotherapy, sun-gazing, Ayahuasca, love and grace have become my primary tools for transformation.  I feel incredibly blessed to be able to create the space and witness the expansion of light and love within all of our retreat participants.  I so look forward to sharing that same space with you.

AYAHUASCA WASI

The Ayahuasca-Wasi team is comprised of people committed to the sacred plant medicine of the amazonian jungle, Ayahuasca and who are experienced in the use of this medicine in the healing of others. Some of them have more than ten years of experience, learning from curanderos (healers) and from the teacher plants of the jungle.

Ayahuasca-Wasi retreats have taken place since the year 2000 sharing this medicine with many brothers and sisters coming from all over the world.  I came to Ayahuasca Wasi for the first time in December 2009 to attend one of their retreats and I knew right away that I was to partner with them to bring the sharing of The Fasting Path to the next level.  Holding retreats on a beautiful island in Thailand at the time, I packed up and headed for the sacred valley of Pisac, Peru.  The result has been one of continual and profound healing and transformation.
