Details of this retreat

Summary:

All your suffering and lack of joy stem from just one thing - you have forgotten the truth of who you really are, and have believed that you are separate from others, from your life experiences, and from the rest of life. But fret not, as you have already begun the journey to end this nightmare and remember the magnificence of of the one truth: the truth of who you really are. And let us tell you, the joy and love that arises from remembering this truth will make the whole journey oh so worth it!

It is no accident that you have been drawn to looking at this retreat listing. Your soul has decided that it has had enough of suffering, and it has decided that it is time to return home to truth and love. This retreat is your chance!

Full Description:

Let me tell you a story. There was once a man named Andrew. He lived in England and grew up in a very strict orthodox christian family. However, Andrew knew from within that there was a lot more to life than what was being told in the Bible and by the priests of his church. When he was 16 years-old, he denounced the church as it became more and more apparent that so-called "religious" people were just regurgitating the words written by people many hundreds of years ago, and no one had actually discovered truth for themselves.

Andrew then began living life without the shackles of his old religion's strict rules, which was fun for a short while. However, he eventually entered the workforce, and it was not long before he started to question, "Is this it?! Is this what life is really about?! Working at a job you hate, barely having enough time or energy to do anything else, and then retiring?! Where is the joy, the beauty, the love?!". He looked around and realised that no one was actually happy. With clear vision, he could see that everyone was just going through the motions, just living a life they were programmed to live by society.

Andrew then kept haring a voice inside his head that repeated the phrase "Everything is an illusion". Although he didn't understand what this meant at the time, it was enough to trigger Andrew to go on a quest to find answers, because he could no longer accept that the universe just created us to live such a dull life. Since no one around Andrew seemed to be interested in the same quest, he had to do it alone with no external guidance. But Andrew soon realised he had an internal guidance system, the source of which he did not yet know, but he knew it felt right to follow this inner guide. This inner guide took him on a journey of realising that the world we all perceive through our body's five senses is just an illusion, and Andrew realised that who he thought he was was all just a lie. But if everything he thought he once knew was all a lie, what was the truth?

Following his inner guide without knowing where it was all leading to seemed ridiculous to people who knew him, and they started to become concerned he'd gone crazy. But this didn't stop him. Eventually, his quest ended when he had some incredible experiences of remembering the fullness of the truth of who he is. The truth of who we all are. The truth of reality. The one truth. That all of reality is just Love playing with itself. A cosmic game of hide and seek. Upon this realisation, Andrew was so overcome with unconditional peace, love and joy, and he knew that he had found IT. Since that moment, all his suffering ceased.

Andrew no longer felt like... Andrew anymore. He knew that this individual identity was just a layer of disguise that he had now dropped. Only Love remained, and so Andrew become 'Agape', which means 'love' in Greek. But Agape knew there was even more joy to be had. Agape knew that there would be great joy in helping others remember the truth. Observing the current state of the world, Agape knew that it was time to begin his quest to help heal humanity's belief in separation and unite humanity in the truth of oneness, and so Agape created this particular retreat. This retreat is not about Agape though, but about YOU. Throughout the retreat, Agape will share his wisdom and the exercises that were most effective in helping him remember, so that you can experience it all for yourself.

What Makes This Retreat Special?:

This retreat is designed to help you actually experience oneness and the truth of who you really are for yourself, rather than just talking about it. Experiencing oneness is so simple and subtle, yet it is not easy because we have been so accustomed to believe the perception of separation. This retreat will make it a lot easier for you to see beyond the illusions and give you the tools to feel oneness in any situation after the retreat.

Remembering who you really are is what will help you discover the unconditional peace, love and joy that has always been within you. It's just that you had been temporarily distracted from this by all the chaos in the "outside" world and within your mind. But it is now time to no longer be distracted. ARE YOU READY?!

Experiencing and feeling oneness is the best tool in catalysing your healing and awakening. You will be so surprised by how fast you will heal, and how fast you learn how to really enjoy life. Although this is just a 4-day retreat, it is extremely powerful and will undoubtedly have a huge positive impact on your life going forward.

Our retreats are designed to make your journey to remembering truth not only as easy as possible, but as fun as possible as well. We firmly believe that enjoying the journey is important, and life is not meant to be taken seriously at all.

This retreat is designed to suit people of all ages and experience levels. Anyone would greatly benefit from coming to this retreat. The retreat is designed in a way to ensure that wherever you are on your healing and awakening journey, you will get a lot from the retreat.

After the retreat, we invite you into our community which is made up of our practitioners, retreat hosts and previous guests of our retreats. This community organises regular follow-up retreats and group holidays.

If you are seeking a new group of like-minded and outgoing friends who you can connect more deeply with and have fun with, then look no further. Romances and beautiful friendships have blossomed out of this community.

You can also book online healing and spiritual guidance sessions after the retreat to ensure that you have the ongoing support you need when you go back out into the world.

Finally, we work tirelessly to ensure that the retreats we provide are extremely great value for money. This is because our main focus is to help as many people as possible rather than profit.

Schedule

During the retreat, you will undergo many activities, exercises, workshops and meditations that are designed to help see beyond the illusion of separation and remember the truth of oneness.

Getting Here

Location icon Surrender Retreats, Aust, Bristol, UK

Directions

The easiest, cheapest, and most convenient way to get to the retreat is to drive there.

However, If traveling by public transport, it is best to make your way to Yate or Chepstow train/coach station. We can then arrange a lift for you from there to the retreat.

The closest airport to the retreat is Bristol Airport, which is a 40-minute drive from the retreat.

There will usually be another retreat guest who can give you a lift from a station that is on their way to the retreat. We will sort this out for you so that you do not have to spend a lot of money on travel costs.

The exact location of the retreat will be given to guests closer to the time.

Accommodation

We provide luxurious, warm, comfortable, indoor accommodation. All guests will receive a towel for their stay. If you opt for a shared room, all efforts will be made to ensure you are sharing a room with only those of the same gender, but this cannot be guaranteed for everyone. If you are a light sleeper, we will make all efforts to ensure that you are not sharing a room with someone who snores. You may initially be hesitant to share a room with another person, but, from our experience, guests of our previous retreats have said that this was one of their highlights of the retreat, and that they wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Connecting with others is one of the great benefits of coming to a retreat, and being secluded in a private room away from everyone else greatly reduces this benefit. We find that guests learn a great deal from listening to each other's experiences at the retreat, and inspire each other, so why rob yourself of this gift unless absolutely necessary?

You’re going to be ok!
Andrew (& Fran’s) retreat gave me the space, support, love and listening to explore parts of my inner world I didn’t know existed. I learnt to be still. I learnt how to look at grief differently. And I am learning how to heal.
The people I met were incredible beings who shared their suffering in such humble ways. Through their support and love, it made me appreciate we are all on this soul challenging journey called life. And all challenges, however painful they are, are ways we learn and grow.
I was looking for space, rest, and sleep. And what I got was a new perspective on life, some beautiful and inspiring friends, and a delicious new cookbook - as well as tons of techniques to live a more relaxed and fulfilling life. I cannot thank you enough and am looking forward to the follow up retreats x

Andrew and Francesca were superb hosts. From the minute I arrived, I knew these were incredibly loving and selfless people. They supported and guided the whole group to make sure that everyone got the most out of the retreat!! Also the food they cooked was amazing - I'll definitely look to make buddha bowls at home now!

Lovely
What a lovely retreat this was! I was pleasantly surprised by all the activities we did, which have really helped me trust life and surrender more. I love the way the retreat was organised and structured, and it was exactly what I was looking for to give me a new lease for life. I was a bit nervous at first about sharing a room with another person, but the woman I shared with was an amazing person and I feel I have made a lifelong friend with her, as well as the others in the group. The cottage we stayed at was beautiful and I enjoyed playing table tennis in the games room during our free time. The surrounding countryside and setting was also beautiful and it was perfect for me as I was looking to unplug from the dense world and reconnect with nature.

A beautiful person
Andrew is a beautiful person with an incredibly big heart. I instantly felt safe and comfortable with him. His positive energy was infectious and he was very wise. He made us laugh several times during the retreat as well. He organised this retreat to perfection and I now regard him as a true friend 😊
