AN AWAKENING
Let’s run away to the Himalayan mountains….
Are you in control of the flow of your life, or the flow of life is in control of you?
Are you feeling the calling to surrender to your inner awareness and experience true freedom?
Do you feel the inner seeker awakening within you for the greatness of the next phase of your life?
Then, let’s run away to the Himalayan mountains for a week and connect with the flow of cosmic consciousness.
The grass is greener on this side – literally!
Our intention is to guide you towards an awakening!
We invite you to a heart-based, holistic, and transformational journey, and the outcome of the retreat focuses on three elements of life enhancement.
What is an awakening?
Having accompanied self-healers through this journey, we have come to experience that often, we have conscious awareness of realities and insights that directly impact the well-being and success of our lives, and we try to practically incorporate them into our life or being. However, often we end up self-sabotaging in spite of the fact that we consciously comprehend the awareness and insight.
Simple awareness such as ‘smoking is a self-destructive behavior’ or ‘significant spiritual comprehension’ can be only a matter of conscious understanding if it is not actualized in the subconscious or unconscious states of your mind. That is why an individual who is well aware that smoking is a self-destructive behavior or compulsive/emotional eating is a self-destructive behavior, the moment they feel the urge, are driven by the impulse uncontrollably and end up sabotaging themselves. Similarly, even though we consciously comprehend higher spiritual truths which can enhance well-being and success in our life, it is the same dynamics of our mind that sabotage ourselves in embodying this awareness and wisdom holistically in our lives.
Hence, we come to understand that ‘conscious awareness’ of destructive behavior and higher awareness of spiritual realities or insight are not adequate to directly influence behavior modifications and life alterations. Only when you are able to ‘actualize’ the ‘conscious awareness into subconscious and unconscious transformation’, you are able to fully embody these changes in your life effortlessly, which leads to creating freedom from destructive mental, emotional, and behavioral patterns, enabling you to fully embody emotional bliss, success, and abundance naturally and effortlessly as your unconscious mind has actualized the surface level of conscious understanding and your actions, emotions, and well-being are a product of your subconscious and unconscious mind.
Thus, the actualization of conscious awareness into your subconscious and unconscious mind is the AWAKENING. All Evolving Temple programs are based on these fascinating dynamics of the human mind. We have carefully created a methodology to enable you to expand your awareness and actualize them with the power of Integrative Neuroscience, the Buddhist Meditation Practice Vipassana with a modern twist, and the power of naturally occurring Plant Energy Medicine.
This carefully crafted intervention will enable you to actualize your intentions and awareness and then solidify behavior modifications, alignments, and transformation within you effortlessly as you complete the treatment through the retreat. As you rise from the experience, you will find yourself awakened to new ways of thinking, feeling, behaving, and experiencing yourself and your world. This new actualized awareness is the awakening.
If you have been fighting invisible battles to overcome destructive behaviors and create a healthy and peaceful way of living and being, this is your opportunity to actualize your intentions and experience an awakening that is unique to you!
1. Measurable enhancement in a specific, meaningful aspect of your life from one of the elements below:
Behavior modifications:
Re-engineer a behavior, freedom from addiction, rejuvenate sexual energy, reset healthy eating, reboot body image & confidence, revitalize weight loss, elevate stress and anxiety, experience the superposition and etc.
Recovery and healing:
Heal root cause of imbalances, mental & emotional healing, freedom from fear, heal from grief, guilt & shame, emotional recovery, ancestral healing, metaphysical energy alignment, resolve an un-answered question.
Life Enhancement:
Exploration of internal relationship to self, focus on specific external relationship, a reboot of energy, reawaken creativity, expand inner wisdom of the universe, experience the power of superior states of consciousness, a spiritual awakening.
2. Literal reboot of your emotional, mental, physical, and metaphysical energy by eliminating inhibitions and reinvigorating yourself towards a pivotal point of your life for a fresh start.
3. Create lifelong soulful friendships. And connect with the mountains and the earth, rivers and the rain, tears and the fire, love and the pain, wisdom, and the magic. Then, you and the universe.
The retreat consists of therapeutic application of energy medicine commonly known as Hallucinogenic Mushrooms or Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybin). Naturally occurring Psychedelic Plant Medicine has been shaping the development of Human Civilization, and there is evidence that the human evolutionary process has been heavily influenced by this miraculous natural medicine.
Therapeutic use of these psychedelics is clinically researched and approved for specific therapies in numerous developed countries, and Psilocybin is scientifically proven to be the safest Psychedelic substance for human consumption.
When used in therapeutic application, Psilocybin acts as a miracle cure for clinical depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental illnesses. The clinical research concluded that healthy individuals benefit from Psilocybin when integrated with integrative therapies
This retreat is an invitation to a handful of seekers who are ready to connect with the unseen depths of self and the universe itself - directly! We will create a safe space for courageous and soulful reflective co-creations enabling the expansion of your conciseness and soul because it’s the energy medicine that chooses you, not the other way around!
“I’ve come to think of meditation and Psilocybin have been complementary processes for investigation of the nature of mind, and in fact, neuroimaging studies show that they both produce similar changes in brain regions related to the sense of self.
Well, if meditation represents the true course of the investigation of the mind, Psilocybin surely represents the crash course.”

I am not your Healer.
In moments of distress or dis-ease, many of us quickly turn outward, seeking solace in doctors, medicine, or healers. Though these avenues provide temporary relief to the symptoms of dis-ease, the true origins of our ailments often reside deep within, periodically surfacing in our body, mind, and emotions. Genuine healing emerges when you recognize that the ultimate healer isn’t external but resides within you.
With utmost empathy and care, I am here to serve you with guidance, intervention, insight, and accountability on your path to healing. So, you are your own healer, and I’m your compass.

OUR TREATMENT METHODOLOGY
Preparation Protocol | The Ceremony | Integration Protocol
When you invest your time and energy in taking a journey to a mountaintop in the Himalayas to create an awakening, we understand the responsibility and the gravity of the outcome we boast about.

Preparation Protocol: Live interactive group reflection sessions. Begins six weeks prior to the mountain journey. Individual preparation sessions according to your unique personal needs. Fully online, via Zoom.

Fernando Hettiyadura – Your Lead Guide
As an unusually curious child, Fernando Hettiyadura, from a young age, embarked on a journey of self-discovery and healing, driven by his personal experiences with childhood trauma. His path, marked by a commitment to reflective practices and self-exploration, led him to the powerful realm of plant-based psychedelic medicine. This pivotal encounter unveiled the transformative potential of psychedelic integration, reshaping his understanding of the healing potential and evolutionary capacity of the human mind.
Driven by deep passion, he devoted his life to sharing this journey with other seekers. He founded Evolving Temple, Ignite Global, Awaken Mind Guide, and the Global Center for Reflective Practices and Consciousness, organizations dedicated to exploring the depths of the human mind and its potential.
Fernando’s pioneering work includes the introduction of the world’s first Psychedelic Integration Professional Coaching Qualification accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) for Advanced Psychedelic Practitioners. This program blends coaching science and psychology with psychedelic integration as a unique methodology.
As an ICF Master Certified Coach and an Alternative Multidisciplinary Therapist with over 20 years of experience, Fernando brings a unique focus to integrating various therapeutic approaches, professional coaching, and Vipassana into his practice, blending clinical and metaphysical aspects in an intentional and mindful balance. His role as a healing practitioner further extends as an educator, mentor, and supervisor for advanced professionals in reflective practices, encompassed by his unique experiences, deep empathy, and nurturing professional insight. Fernando’s work in this field is aimed at gently yet comprehensively guiding individuals and professionals toward greater personal, professional, and spiritual evolution making positive impact at the global scale, co-creating world peace as a ripple effect
Outside of his professional life, Fernando enjoys the quietude of meditation and the joy of salsa dancing, activities that reflect the embodiment of balance between mind and body.
