Introduction
Life is a flame gathering is a transformative journey designed to awaken and refine the inner power, wisdom, and strength of those who embark on it. This program uniquely blends three powerful and time-honored traditions: the ancient teachings of Pusaka Sakti Mataram Lakutama, the disciplined art of Inti Ombak Pencak Silat, and the soul-deep practices of Javanese-style Inner Work. Together, they create an immersive experience that honors both the physical and spiritual dimensions of the individual, guiding each participant toward mastery, balance, and a deeper connection with their purpose.
Pusaka Sakti Mataram Lakutama
At the heart of Life is a Flame Gathering lies the profound philosophy of Pusaka Sakti Mataram Lakutama. This ancient tradition draws inspiration from the rich heritage of the Mataram Sultanate, fusing mystical teachings with martial wisdom. Pusaka (heirlooms) represents the sacred power and knowledge passed down through generations, while Sakti refers to the cultivation of inner strength and mystical energy. Through this tradition, participants tap into their own spiritual lineage, awakening hidden power and understanding their role in the larger web of existence. Lakutama is the sacred path of mastery, focusing on the harmonious development of body, mind, and spirit.
Inti Ombak Pencak Silat
Building on this foundation of inner power, Life is a Flame Gathering integrates the graceful and dynamic martial art of Inti Ombak Pencak Silat. This system is known for its emphasis on fluid movement, balance, and the cultivation of internal energy (Kekuatan Dalam). Practitioners are guided to harmonize with their own energy, moving with the precision and adaptability of the waves, or “Ombak,” reflecting the natural rhythms of the world. Pencak Silat trains both physical skill and mental clarity, sharpening the body while cultivating spiritual awareness, self-discipline, and resilience. The flowing nature of this martial art mirrors the journey of self-discovery—one of constant growth, refinement, and evolution.
The Forge; Javanese-style Men’s Work
The final element of Life is a Flame Gathering is rooted in the timeless practices of Javanese-style Men’s Work called The Forge. This aspect of the program honors the principles of brotherhood, leadership, and spiritual growth unique to the Javanese worldview. By drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Javanese culture, participants learn to embrace their masculine power with humility, understanding the interconnectedness of strength, grace, and responsibility. This is not merely physical training; it’s an invitation to walk the path of a true warrior—embodying wisdom, integrity, and compassion. It fosters a deeper connection to self, community, and the divine, empowering men to lead with clarity, courage, and authenticity.
A Holistic Path of Mastery
Integrating these three powerful programs — Pusaka Sakti Mataram Lakutama, Inti Ombak Pencak Silat, and The Forge. Life is a Flame Gathering offers an unparalleled opportunity for personal transformation. This gathering is for those who seek not only to refine their martial skills but also to reconnect with their ancestral roots, tap into their inner power, and develop a strong sense of purpose and leadership. It is a space for individuals to grow into their fullest potential, standing as warriors of the spirit, ready to face the challenges of life with balance, wisdom, and strength.
