Enlightenment Intensive Ireland
Three days of full-power self-enquiry
Ireland Community Seats
We have released 3 Ireland Community Seats for this Intensive.
These places are offered at 50% support for people living in Ireland who feel genuinely called to the work but are financially held back.
This is not a discount.
It is a commitment to show up fully.
Applications are open for a limited time and will be reviewed personally.
A Return Home
After thirty-five years of leading Enlightenment Intensives in the wild Welsh valley, Shivam brings the work back to his family land in the west of Ireland.
The same full-power self-enquiry practice.
Charles Berner’s original method.
Now held in an intimate Irish setting.
This is not a retreat of ideas.
It is direct experience.
A place to ask and discover:
Who am I?
WHAT HAPPENS
Three days of structured self-enquiry.
A disciplined rhythm of dyads, contemplation, silence, meals and rest.
Followed by one and a half days of integration — breathwork, movement, sauna, conversation and space to land what has opened.

The Venue
A traditional Irish farmhouse near Galway — Shivam’s family home, now a retreat space surrounded by fields, trees and stone walls.
Firelight in the hearth.
Shared meals around the table.
The stillness of the Irish countryside.
A simple and beautiful container for deep enquiry.
A Word from Shivam
“After decades of holding Enlightenment Intensives in the Welsh mountains,
I am returning to my family home in Ireland to bring this work to its roots.
The same discipline, the same fire, the same direct path, but in the quiet fields of Galway.
If you’ve ever felt the call, this is your time.”
