Waking Up—Waking In: A Leap of Faith Hey everyone, We've got some incredible news we're so proud to finally share with our family here in the Skool community. You hear us talk all the time about the Shangriballa Method and the power of transformation, but today, we're sharing the ultimate origin story. We're beyond thrilled to officially announce and share our long-awaited documentary, "Waking Up—Waking In: A Leap of Faith." This isn't a glossy film we just paid for; this is the raw, beating heart of why we do what we do. It’s a 30-minute peek behind the curtain, showing the breathtaking journey of my own personal transformation. This documentary is literally how the Shangriballa Method was born. I had to live this truth, feel the despair of the "before," and walk through the fire to find the freedom of the "after." But here's the beautiful part: this documentary is about much more than just my story now. Through this work, we've met wonderful people, like the brilliant Patrick Boulan, who not only connected with the core truth of the method but also confirmed its structure. This validation helped us realize that Shangriballa has become something greater than I ever imagined—it's an evolving concept shared by everyone here. It's a community understanding where each person finds their own unique interpretation, adapting it to their unique life situations. We've all played a part in defining it. I'm thankful for every suffering, every opportunity to grow, because it all came from grace and led us here, together. This documentary is our testament to that journey and that shared spiritual healing. Please watch it, reflect on it, and share your biggest takeaways right here in the comments. We can’t wait to hear how this story resonates with your own path to self-discovery and how you uniquely experience the Shangriballa Method. Welcome to the beginning, again! ❤️ Lisa Silva

One year after his experience with Shangriballa and 5-MeO-DMT, Bryan sits down for an open, unfiltered reflection on his journey. This isn't a sugarcoated success story; it's a deeply grounded look at what happens when the integration dust settles. Key Takeaways from the Interview: - Ditching the Script: Bryan shares how the experience stripped away the need to perform for others, allowing him to step into a completely authentic, unapologetic way of living. - The Reality of Integration: He opens up about the actual practice of grounding these massive shifts into daily, ordinary life over a full year. - Living Your Truth: A raw discussion on identifying what truly matters to you and having the courage to build your life around it, regardless of outside noise. Whether you are preparing for your own journey or navigating your own integration process, Bryan’s grounded perspective offers a real look at the long-term ripple effects of this work. Does this capture the core energy of his update, or should we emphasise a specific part of his realisation? https://www.skool.com/shangriballa-2960/classroom/6bcdea2a?md=f2ae9237d9344f619ddcb356aaa7eb15

We are excited to announce a 10-Step program to our Shangriballa community. Are you tired of constantly searching for inner peace, only to feel like you’re continually fighting your own mind or body? Maybe you've tried meditation, but you still feel like there's a separate "you" inside, stressed, anxious, and trying to keep it all together. You're ready to move beyond basic coping and address the fundamental source of that struggle. The best part? This entire 10-Step journey is entirely FREE for the Shangriballa community! This is our gift to help you experience a seamless, effortless life directly. That's precisely what this program, led by Patrick Boulan and Lisa Silva, is designed for. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced meditator, this journey is your next essential step. Introducing: The 10-Step Journey into Pure Awareness This isn't another course on fixing yourself. It’s an experiential inquiry into the simple, liberating truth of Non-Duality—the realisation of not-two. Over 10 steps, we’ll dismantle the core illusions that create suffering, using your own direct experience as the guide. Each session includes a core conceptual teaching, immediately followed by a custom-guided meditation designed to create an expansive and profound experience for all levels. **The Secret to True Freedom** Step 1 focuses on the course's foundation, introducing basic non-dual teaching and meditation practices. It will include our anchor-setting program, which will serve as a foundation for the rest of the course. We are establishing your Unchanging Container (Step 2)—the spacious awareness that is already whole and peaceful. Everything else happens in this space. Then, we systematically lighten the grip of your deepest identifications: - You'll Bypass the Mind: We’ll spend a crucial week at The Doorway of the Senses (Step 3), tuning into raw, unlabelled input. You see the world vividly, free from the mind’s usual commentary. - You'll Drop the Story: We’ll examine The Narrative of Self (Step 7) and identify the subtle, constant thought that creates the "me." When the I-thought stops, you discover the vast, silent dimension of your being. - You'll Dissolve the Body: A massive shift happens in The Myth of the Body (Step 8), where we stop seeing the body as a fixed object and realise it's just a dynamic flow of pure, shifting sensation. When you stop identifying with the body, the pain and limitation instantly become less personal.

I am excited to share a talk I had with Paul today. He shares some of his experiences from the retreats, and we discuss integration. VIDEO
