About the training
What is the training about?
- Who is it for: Advanced
- Topics: Embodying Spirit, Essence
The Dimensions of Being is an ongoing training of six retreats. The first five can be booked separately. More information about each part can be found at the bottom of this page.
We have brilliant and efficient essential resources that are meant to guide and support us in this journey.
When we open to our Essence, we are at the same time opening to the mystery of Being as it unfolds in the Here and Now.
After more than 20 years of teaching and personal exploration, respectively, Avikal and Velusia have completely redesigned the Dimensions of Being training. The training has always been directed toward in-depth understanding and embodiment of essential qualities, however, now we wish to acknowledge the intensity of the era we are living in, as well as your capacity to view yourself and the world that is now manifesting with the understanding that you are already whole.
Instead of working towards a completion point, we will begin with the recognition of the totality, and strengthen our connection here.
This will support every aspect of Being that we work with in the future in a dynamic way.
1. The Focus – Essence is a living manifestation of our True Nature. Resting in the recognition of non-separation, full participation in our own life becomes majestic, yet simple.
2. Integration and Embodiment – Living the truth of our everyday unfoldment begins to absorb our attention into itself.. enlivening and freeing us of all concepts of self. Yes, our precision and openness set the tone, but the song itself is not our doing. Here we can begin to dance with the universe.
3. THE STRUCTURE. Even though we present the Dimensions of Being as a training, it is composed of complete modules that can be accessed individually according to individual needs and possibilities. We offer a sequence that we know is efficient and useful in many ways, but we leave it to the individual to choose whether to follow it or not.
4. Content – We have revised the content removing any part that could weigh down our direct perception of these blessed states of Being. It is Essence that is the true teacher, and our work, for the most part, is to be together here, meeting what comes through with our deepening contact. This creates the environment for individual exploration and absorption.
5. The Methodology – Self-inquiry remains the main methodology. This form of exploring, literally everything, beginning with yourself, is the adventure of discovery of the living Truth in the present moment. The whole process of inquiry includes the conceptualising that continues to develop and refine our capacities, with natural transparency of sharing ourselves with each other.
Together with you we will co-create an environment that informs and supports full wakefulness and all that this wakefulness brings through for you personally. For us all to stay responsible to this commitment, it is important to have a one to one session between 2 and 6 weeks after each retreat. You are also invited to contact either Velusia or Avikal to set up a chat before the Stupa if you would like that.

The Stupa. Essence Retreat
Dimensions of Being 1
- 03 Jun 2023
- -
- 10 Jun 2023
- Avikal and Velusia
About this module
The Stupa is the Essential vehicle that replaces the personality structure. The Stupa becomes our real structure and is much more than what we could have imagined.
We want to begin with the presence and amazing energy of the Stupa so that our structure will not keep setting its course by what it thinks is possible based on the past, or on our various modulations.
Buddhists refer to the Stupa as The View, because it can shift our perspective radically to align with truth, and at this level, the alignment is not only exactly what we want, even if we didn’t know it, but it can be exhilarating as well as energising and satisfying.
The main themes of the Stupa are:
- Totality
- The capacity to sense and utilize all of our resources and essential qualities
- Manifesting what we wish from the Being level. Actualize and create
- Experiencing our natural authority and mastery, which is true adulthood
True Nature continues to unfold, without limit, in original and unique ways.
What you will learn
- A refreshed and abiding connection to Being
- Open our sense of pleasure and celebration
- An encompassing View
- A true humanness
- True relating
Diamond Guidance
Dimensions of Being 2
- 07 Nov 2023
- -
- 12 Nov 2023
- Velusia
About this module
Diamond Guidance is a name given by mystics to a dynamic sense of unfoldment that happens when the gift of spirit meets our unburdened receptive heart. When that almost magical turn of the heart occurs, there is a quickening that keeps re-newing our orientation to loving the truth. Our day to day attunement to guidance keeps us fresh, curious and connected.
Baudelaire speaks of a ‘poetic state of health’.. and this is it.
What you will learn
- How one access’s and refreshes the Diamond Guidance each day
- Coming to understand how spirit relates with us, uniquely and personally
- What kind of a unique journey we are actually on and how it is moving us towards our own completeness
- How we are actively, articulately, participating in the unfolding present as it creates the future
- The exquisite body/mind experience of fully utilising what we are made of
The Authentic Self
Dimensions of Being 3
- 09 Apr 2024
- -
- 14 Apr 2024
- Avikal
About this module
As we understand and uncover more and more how we have identified with a false sense of self, conditioned by family and culture, and how this identification is based on the fear of survival, two questions become fundamental: “Who am I?” and “What is the meaning of my life?”
The Authentic Self is Being experienced as our True Identity. You recognize how it is obscured by the false identity that we call “I”, your identification with it, in order to survive and feel special: what is generally called narcissism. This illusion of being special ends up hiding the reality of being unique.
What you will learn
- Understanding and transcending the false identity.
- Spiritual Narcissism as an incapacity and/or unwillingness to turn in.
- Recognition of the symptoms of being real.
- Showing up in your own light.

- Avikal
About this module
This is the very intimate and precious experience of YOU as the personal manifestation of Essential Nature. We refer to is as Essential Individuality, Embodied Uniqueness.
All the different qualities of Essence: value, power, will, strength, peace, loving kindness, joy etc. exist as impersonal, ever present universal qualities.
As you realize your true nature and align yourself with Truth, all the qualities begin to integrate in you, and you develop and evolve into an integrated human being. The Truth becomes embodied in your flesh, and you move towards becoming a true manifestation of love and awareness.
What you will learn
- Integration and circulation of the Essential qualities.
- Capacity for contact with oneself and other.
- The vehicle of protection.
- Essential embodiment in daily life

What you will learn
- How our soul, journey, and even inquiry itself is touched ’grace’
