Peace and Love to you! Galiana is an international project which organizes tantric meditation retreats and spiritual gatherings all over the world, including Peru, France, Spain and India. Luba Saraswati Sophia Evans-Zion our founder and visionary says that the inspiration behind her work is personal growth, liberation, return of divine feminine, sacred union of feminine and masculine, and living the life of service.
Our FREE, 5-day "Awaken Your SuperNatural Lover" mini-course introduces you to the essence of the teachings in easy, practical bites. Ego arises from the common base consciousness, and has an illusion of separateness, but the illusion is real for the ego. There is no discreet separation between Samsara (ego) and Nirvana (Primordial State of Blissful Oneness), there is a continuum between then.

We are the guardians of this land. We are the gatekeepers who hold the space for everybody who comes to receive healing here. We are a sponsor and collaborator of TejYog.com. The TejYog Center was created in India to inspire enlightenment of its students through meditation and yoga practice. Our rejuvenation program, teacher certificate program as well as Ayurvedic insights are based on our collaboration with TejYog.
We are moving faster and faster now - some spiritual leaders say two months now go for one year.
