Gareths in person retreat involves various energy transmissions including Darshan, Shakti and The Supramental Force. These transmissions are given during various silent sittings and sessions accompanied with music. Gareth is a channel for these Divine energies and gives them through different modes, including touching the top of the head, the third eye, the upper chest and various other parts of the body and also by just sitting in the room you will feel these energies. The energy is immensely potent, exuding power and encompassing all aspects of one's being. What makes them extraordinary is that they originate directly from the Divine Mother,

These energies cascades down like a radiant blanket of light, enveloping both the facilitator and the recipients. During the Intensive Gareth sits in a chair during meditation sending out the transmissions, he also move around the  participants his  hands gently touch the recipient's head or shoulders, establishing an immediate connection. 

The gaze during Darshan looking into the recipient's eyes opens a direct portal for the energy to flow seamlessly into their souls. There are no barriers, distractions, or blockages; the energy moves through, unobstructed, like a river flowing through an open gate.
