About this Retreat

Your Guides

Details of this retreat

Can we awaken a profound source of wisdom within, a guide and inner compass to navigate the enormous pressures and challenges of modern society? And can that wisdom manifest through our everyday life, actions and relationships? Without the light of inner wisdom, we are on autopilot mechanical mode and unconsciously used by the stories or projections of the ego mind. Once connected to the timeless source of wisdom inside us, we realise the falseness of the repetitive narratives of our ego mind, discover an authentic way of living from the infinite space of the heart and bring peace, harmony and joy in ourselves and in society. These retreats are meant as an attempt to explore, experience and live that deep source within in a spirit of close togetherness..

WHAT WE PROPOSE TO LEARN?

- The art of deep listening, looking and learning.

- The art of meeting life and our true essence through deep inner silence and awareness.

- The art of meeting fears, emotional reactions, sorrows, hurts and traumas in a non- reactive way.

- The flowering of inner peace, confidence, and trust in meeting the unknown A simple and profound approach to meditation in our daily life.
- True love and compassion, inner freedom and the joy of creativeness.

And many more questions which will arise spontaneously during the retreat.          

FOR WHOM?
For those willing to go deeper into the journey of self-discovery and transformation. For anyone who sees the importance of living from a higher level of presence. It offers a safe, serious and caring space to discover ourselves, meet our deep essence and look at our whole life in a fresh, creative way, whether we are a seeker, a mindfulness practitioner, a coach, a therapist, an artist, a teacher, a professional from any field, a leader, a change-maker, a parent or simply a student of life.
