MODERN DAKINI

WITH MOUN D‘SIMONE

A 5-NIGHT / 6-DAY tantric buddhist EXPERIENCE

Broughton Sanctuary — Yorkshire, UK

july 31—August 5, 2024

 
 

your life is your practice

Understand yourself, uncover your potential, and begin a new chapter for freedom and love.

This retreat is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to feel held, seen, safe, and expressed, and to step fully into your POWER.

The Modern Dakini method was created by Moun, a visionary combination of Tantric Buddhism, Psychology, Somatic, and Artistic techniques. The perfect balance between mystical and practical. The bridge between where you are and where you want to be. Because you are worthy of support, love, rest, adventure, and going out of your comfort zone for your dreams!

People have called Moun’s teachings “unconventional but most powerful and life-changing”. 

The term "Dakini" from Tibetan Buddhism, represents the feminine embodiment of enlightenment, total liberation. Because we are modern women, these ancient teachings are combined with creative expression, intentional rest, psychology, and play – this is the way to true self-power and freedom.

The Dakini is the essence of your true self, the powerful, the inherent potential doormat within all of us. She is your inner artist, passionate, and purposeful, lives boldly in integrity, receptive and at ease, confident in her body, and in love with all of life.

A MODERN DAKINI IS A WOMAN WHO IS HER OWN MUSE.

WHO SEES EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE AS HER PRACTICE AND INSPIRATION.

This retreat is an opportunity to:

+ Gain deep insights into the inner workings of your mind.

+ Experiment with proven methods to transcend hidden limitations.

+ Become a vessel for your wildest dreams.

+ Hold fear by the hand, and make art out of the messy and mysterious process of being alive.

+ Move, feel, release, express, and integrate. 

+ Master your ATTENTION, tap into your IMAGINATION & REPAIR old wounds, and use the past to FERTILIZE your dreams. 

+ Make your body a temple, each day a ritual, and your life an offering of love.

What happens in retreat is almost indescribable, unlike anything else. You are so taken care of, in a gorgeous location, surrounded by like-minded people, out of your comfort zone but totally safe, feeling held, and seen. You get to learn, practice, release, relax, and receive. You get to love deeper parts of you and feel the love already here for you. 

I am here to hear you, hold you, and reflect your truth to you. Expect to be loved by a big sister and embraced by practices, teachings, and a powerful land. So that you can let go and make way for more of your truth to come alive! 

Your life will be changed forever. I am excited to be with you soon!

Big love, Moun

MEET YOUR TEACHER

MOUN D’SIMONE

spiritual teacher, meditation guide + artist

Moun combines the profound teachings of Tibetan Buddhism, contemplative psychotherapy, art, and somatic techniques to help you cultivate trust and find your true self.

Moun also shares her own lived experiences to empower individuals to break free from self-destructive patterns, like comparing and competing, and transform their inner critic into epic creative expression.

Her approach is refreshingly playful, relatable, and unapologetically irreverent.

To those she touches, she becomes more than a mentor – she's a spiritual big sister.

Embracing the power of community and recognizing the inherent potential within, she paves the way for a life of genuine love and connections.

Moun currently lives in NYC teaching in-person classes, coaching clients, leading group programs, her Modern Dakini House Membership, and international retreats.

When you meet your mentor, your teacher, your guide, it’s not something you plan - it’s something you feel. Deep in your bones. All the way to the core of your heart. Moun is that to me. When I heard her voice for the first time, dripping in wisdom, and her striking tone rang the bell of my suffering and said YES, invite her in. I felt held by Moun’s love and acceptance.

HOW moun HAS CHANGED LIVES

There are not enough words in any language to capture the impact that working with Moun has had on my life. I am truly honored to have Her with me on this wild and beautiful ride. Present and open, with gentle reminders and firm encouragement, Moun has lovingly guided me to my truest, purest self. Choosing to embark and remain on the path of self-love has been the most challenging and important work I believe I will ever do. I am beyond grateful to Moun for sharing her present heart, deep wisdom, and loving compassion with me; for always seeing my beautiful, whole, and perfect soul; for being the brightest and most marvelous light; and for reflecting to me - time and again- that I am (that we all are) always Enough.
— Meghan
Moun is genuine and dedicated, multicultural and compassionate, peaceful and yet strongly passionate about her message, and you can’t seem not to be entranced with her teachings because it comes from such an authentic place. All these qualities show in her programs. Her unmatched respect for spiritual living and healing is immeasurable. Hands down, her programs are one of the most inspiring and transformational spaces I’ve ever attended. I’m forever grateful for her presence in my life.
— Jeanette
She makes you feel seen and heard. She encourages you to take up space even when uncomfortable doing so. She taught me how to slow down, hold myself and really truly love all parts of me. All in the most tender and loving way. Oh, and the sisters I’ve met because of Moun, they are really there for me!
— Stephanie
