Pilgrimage of Universal Fire Mandala ashes – Organized and led by AKHAMANI
Our pilgrimage to Turkey, in August 2026, aims to visit and reconnect with some of the oldest sites of human coexistence. Anatolia is a cradle of human culture, belief systems, worldviews, and rituals that originated many millennia ago. It is the birthplace from which the ancient art of living spread to distant corners of the world — not only eastward toward modern-day Asia and westward toward Europe, but even further. Today, we can trace elements of Anatolian ancestors in the ceremonial practices of traditions such as those in the Andes and Mexico.
Through our journey to the ancient sites across modern Turkey, our primary intention is to learn from the art of living of ancient civilizations. By forging this ancestral perspective we can also reconnect to the understanding of our own roots and the ways that are common to our shared humanity worldwide.
The Vision is to broaden our understanding of the traditions and rituals that once flourished on the Anatolian plains, especially in relation to the ancestral fire. We look to find common ground with other ancestral practices and ceremonial traditions of fire that we have had the privilege to witness and experience across different regions of the world.
For this we will follow Akhamani’s invitation to visit the ancestral people of the Yörük tribe that is still following their traditional art of living. We are grateful for the privilege to be able to spend several days with them in their nomadic homes. Sharing, exchanging, and co-living in their nomadic houses. Bridging the contact with yet another ancestral community with whom we will also light and share a fire. A profound lesson about one of the oldest fire keeping traditions that is still alive today within approximately 200 families in the Aladaglar mountain region.
Through this quest, we intend to continue the work of re-awakening the ancestral fire in Europe. In doing so, we work actively to serve as humble fire keepers. In this way, we cultivate the vision to deepen our understanding of the guardianship of the ancestral ways and forms of the consciousness of fire.
The pilgrimage will culminate in the night of the full moon where we will hold an all night ceremony with the eternal flames at Mount Chimera. The ashes that were united at the Spring Equinox Ceremony in the Black Forest, empowered at the Universal Fire Mandala in the Swiss Alps that was held during the Summer Solstice Unifying Ancestral New Fire Ceremony, and introduced to sacred sites across Indonesia, will be presented and empowered there. This is in order to continue our journey of the Universal Fire Mandala to remember and celebrate our shared humanity.
Akhamani is grateful to some of it’s members who will join this journey. As well as to Leobardo Peña, one of Akhamani’s Mexican ambassadors, who will likewise join as witness and participant. Akhamani is happy to sponsor his participation in order to assist his spiritual development.
Workshops, Retreats, & Alternative Healing Methods
The goal is to introduce various practices that motivate, guide, and support self-development, self-discovery, well-being, & conscious presence as a complementary tool to your everyday life. The intention is to provide you with tools that can help you improve your health, life balance, peace, & joy.
The Value of Retreats
Typically, the retreats are an opportunity to experience a distance or “withdrawal” from your day-to-day life so that you may return to, or discover yourself. The intention is to offer participants a place where they can explore deeper aspects of their self-development and growth through the focus on a particular activity, experience, or objective. They are led and supported by the Ancestral Guardians from various practices of the world.
The Value of Workshops
The intention of the workshops is to assist you in the path of self-discovery based on your intrinsic nature. Our goal is to assist your self-development while respecting your varying views of the world and personal life philosophy. Through the teachings of the workshops, the Akhamani Association seeks to help you gain balance, peace, & health.
Often, people seeking to explore an ancestral path sign up to various retreats or workshops and return home without knowing how to put any of the material into practice. Thus, the emphasis will be on how you can experience the theory so that you may put it into practice in your daily life.
The Value of Alternative Healing Methods
Alternative healing is a holistic approach to self-healing that varies across the world and that has existed for centuries.
Generally, healing facilitators address the interactions between the physical, emotional, and mental processes in order to remove energy blockages. Healing sessions, therefore, focus on releasing energy that is stagnant in order to stimulate and assist the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Each session invites the participant to keep an open mind while they are guided to explore, experience, and put into practice their own self-healing ability.
Usually, people seeking alternative healing sessions are trying to resolve issues related to stress, anxiety, clouded mind, loss of self-value, physical depletion, low energy, relief of illness-related symptoms, etc. The goal of an Alternative Healing facilitator is therefore to help you attain a balance through the release of blocked energy. This is done by means of relaxation, guided introspection, and immersion into one of the several energy healing modalities.
