MODERN DAKINI
WITH MOUN D‘SIMONE
A 5-NIGHT / 6-DAY tantric buddhist EXPERIENCE
Broughton Sanctuary — Yorkshire, UK
july 31—August 5, 2024
MY life is MY practice
“ Imagine cultivating a true friendship with the most intimate parts of yourself.
Imagine gaining deep insights into the inner workings of your mind, your inner child, and experimenting with proven methods to transcend hidden limitations.
All while living fiercely and confidently in your body. In your truest essence and expression. The highest vision of you. This is Dakini.
The term "Dakini" from Tibetan Buddhism, represents the feminine embodiment of enlightenment. And because we are modern women, these ancient and visionary teachings are delivered with a modern, unconventional, practical, and the most powerful approach.
The pure form of action and desire. To face oneself and the world as a true vision. She is passionate, and purposeful, lives boldly in integrity, and is 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 opportunity is the perfect balance between mystical and practical, a powerful and unique combination of the visionary Buddhist teachings of the Dakini, modern psychology, art, and somatic techniques.
Empower your true self, and become a vision of your wildest dreams. We are here to walk through the mud together. Let us dance with the fears, transform the limitations, and make art from the messy and mysterious process of being fully alive and expressed.
No matter the heartbreak, grief, or doubt — we, as feminine beings, carry an unconditional capacity to welcome everything into our Practice.
This is my invitation for us to come together and show up raw, free, and bold.
To release expectations and make our bodies a temple, each day a ritual, and our lives an offering of love to ourselves and everyone around us. Self-power and creative expression come from feeling seen, heard, held, and expressed.
This is why we go on retreat in community.“
Much love, Moun
““I am my best work - a series of road maps, reports, recipes, doodles, and prayers from the front lines.””

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.

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

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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
