The Story
Kaivalya emerged as the natural expression of two Ji’s continuously surrendering into a depth of listening to the voice of the Unity and moving from that constant state of awareness.
Our pathless paths crossed at a small festival gathering on the outskirts of SoCal in Jamul, California.
There was a natural unfolding into a shared journey of following what wejis began to call The Full Yes, which is the quiet voice and somatic experience of the indwelling awareness that expansively and effortlessly invites One to move in a state of perfect peace, ease and bliss by the Unity and as the Unity.
This state of perfect peace, later learned, is called "Kaivalya" in ancient Sanskrit.
Over the years that followed, the present moment Yeses carried us across mountains, deserts, coastlines and countries.
Devotion in form of conversations, meditation, travel, study and silence…a common thread continued to reveal.
Within each deep dive, there sat the same source of what Is and of which is driving it all; The Unity.
The Unity is the experience and the expressions are infinite, moment-to-moment.
As the experience of Unity continues to blossom, so has the wave to create a space where Ji’s (Other aspects of the Unity and the light/love and love/light of what is - People) may access the experience of Kaivalya, the eternal presence, divine wholeness and the freedom that already Is, here, now in every moment.
Through the transmission and embodiment of Harmonic Communication (HaCo), a dialect of speaking and thinking in Unity, among various other methods of meditative and contemplative practices, wejis remembered the natural state of Enlightenment and the experience of Kaivalya.
Kaivalya Meditation Center is an invitation to live in this state in community and is a celebration, a rejoicing, in great play and dance of The Unity’s creation.
The core methods of the
Daily Meditation practices offer an experience of meditative living.
This is an invitation to All to come and experience the perfect peace; Kaivalya, and access the natural state of Enlightened living.
The movement is to open the Kaivalya Meditation Center in the jungle of Tulum where it will feature the Catharsis Temple.
The vastness of energetic emotions and feelings can be explored and expressed meditatively leaving one in a state of pure peace and relaxation.
Kaivalya will also feature a regenerative farm, free movement and meditation spaces and beautiful residences for guests and other stewards of the center.
Namaste

The Stewards
SAMANTHA
Growing up in San Diego, California, there was a pull toward the rhythms of the natural world. Whether along the coastline, nearby mountains, or wandering the eight-acre homestead where the grandparents settled many years after immigrating from South Africa, nature and story became an early teacher. Clock-time spent among trees, animals, gardens and open sky cultivated an intuitive awareness that the Creator Is and appears to communicate through everything in the illusion of form.
Raised within the Jewish culture, there was an immersion into the study of Hebrew scripture, ancient history and tradition, rooted in community. Shira (meaning, Song of the Sun) is the Hebrew name that was given at birth alongside the Western name, Samantha, and has resurfaced in this season of life. Through the grandparents, there was an introduction to the Episcopal church, where the teachings of Yeshua and Mother Mary expanded an understanding of dogmatic religions as training wheels to experiencing the pathless path. Exploring these traditions revealed unique expressions of the One Light, nurturing a lifelong reverence for wisdom woven throughout humanity's spiritual heritage.
An affinity for creative expression through reading, art, music, movement and writing unfolded alongside these experiences throughout youth into adulthood. Athletics offered an understanding of collective harmony, while the arts became another language of expression.
Throughout childhood, attending seven different schools within the same district was one of many unique catalysts in observing relating dynamics, social dynamics and emotional landscapes. There was a continual invitation to observe subtle energetic currents moving beneath every interaction, releasing attachment to identity and environment. This intuitive sensitivity became one of life's earliest teachers.
Heart-led service became a thread weaving everything together. In lieu of a traditional education route post high-school, years were devoted to supporting children and families as a Behavioral Therapist, teaching English Language Learners programs in public school classrooms, art instruction at the local community center, corporate Account Management experience, teaching Hebrew and Judaica studies, facilitating Reiki, guiding meditations and nervous system-informed coaching.
A fascination for bridging the Indwelling Awareness with Artificial Intelligence emerged through co-creation of an App tailored to parents and children navigating various therapeutic, medical and educational spaces. Each field appeared different on the surface, yet every experience pointed toward a similar realization: beneath the illusion of behaviors, “diagnoses”, beliefs and identities exists an innate Wholeness.
Seeing and listening beneath physical/mental manifestations stemming from emotional/energetic/spiritual health of the Being began with a dive into the inner world within, first. The natural descension inward, then natural ascension in state of consciousness. It seems this is an aspect of the "curriculum" souls are here on this Earth to learn.
These many years became a living apprenticeship with various "Gurus" both in the Celestial realms and Earthly realm. Compassion, awareness and the quiet intelligence that emerges through presence in silence and stillness as a guide.
Three profound and challenging moments have presented in this lifetime where the movement was into utter surrender: moments when every external answer dissolved, personal effort fell away and a wholehearted prayer remained: "God, by the Will.” Each of these three choice-points became a sacred threshold with an invitation to truly Trust. What followed was an ever-expanding willingness to walk by the Will of God and what One may call, “an awakening.”
There were long periods of retreat into studies and experiences of contemplative traditions/philosophies, meditations/asanas, energy "healing", sacred plant medicine ceremonies, shamanic practices, extensive traveling and child/human development studies. These all converged into experiential realization that Enlightenment is the natural condition that has always been present beneath the illusion of separation.
Meeting Augie became another expression of this Divine orchestration. Harmonic Communication began to emerge as a language, remembered. From that same unfolding came the vision of Kaivalya Meditation Center: a sanctuary devoted to meditation, community, regenerative living and the direct experience of All is Unity.
Today, there are usually waves to share through listening, writing, drawing, speaking, engaging with children, playing with puppets, hysterically laughing and immersive experiences around the world (and infinite other expressions that may naturally arise from the flow).
Each offering is an invitation to relax into the Full Yes of the present moment, feel the Infinite Love that Is and re-discover that Peace has never been absent.
