Description
“Voices of the Earth” is a carefully crafted, immersive style experience of designed for personal transformation, self-exploration, and Awakening. Immersions with KotE are designed and held in such a way that they provoke powerful growth for the practitioner’s ongoing development. These experiences are a “ritual process” or “Hero’s Journey” meant for people who understand the importance of separating from home for a period of time to focus on their spiritual development. Many who come on these retreats consider them a “pilgrimage”.
Voices of the Earth is a week-long Yoga “retreat” where practitioners are encouraged to explore the mystical dimensions of the Spirit through sound, breath, movement, ceremony and ritual. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced practitioner, the container is set for your inner development to unfold. Expect the right mix of intensity and rest, laughter and sincerity, determination and relaxation. People returning home from these “retreats” report significant increases in clarity, purpose, strength, resolve, direction, and focus.

We strive to maintain a high standard in our work, and so we want to make sure you are adequately supported in your preparation before attendance. Therefore, if you are attending an immersion with Keepers of the Earth for the first time, you must book an FREE personal question and answer session and consultation with Grant. This call is an interview process through which we will help you to clarify your aspiration and intention for attendance at one of our immersions. Please submit your application below, indicate that it is your first time attending, and, upon receipt of your application, we will reach out with availability and scheduling.
Newcomers who have not sat with Grant in a previous live event may take the online course “Art of Sadhana” as a complimentary part of their registration before attending the immersion. This course will ensure that participants are sufficiently prepared for our immersion. The course covers basic concepts and understanding of practices and material that we will refine when together in person. It is highly recommended that people take advantage of this virtual material in their preparation for the Immersion.
If it is your first time with us, when you apply please indicate that it is your first time and that you’d like to receive the links for this course. The Art of Sadhana online course consists of six 75 minute videos that are a combination of practice (sadhana) and discussion (satsang) to familiarize you with the techniques, methodology, concepts and frameworks used at Keepers of the Earth and in Grant’s teachings.
