About this Retreat
From an early age, a profound curiosity about life's meaning took root as the world unfolded before eager eyes. This inner quest deepened through a transformative near-death experience, forging a powerful connection to the mysteries of existence. Guided by this awakening, the journey led to an academic path, obtaining a degree in psychology, and a heartfelt exploration of Eastern philosophies.
The connection to the Dao came from the most unlikely places: years of doing hard core software development within the UNIX environment and delving deep into digital security. In this sea of information overload 'claircognizance' emerged and quickly spread to other fields of knowing.
Guided by an unwavering passion for psychology and an ever-evolving world, he embarked on a personal retreat into his own ashram, seeking profound clarity. Meet Michael, a teacher who effortlessly bridges the realms of the left brain and the right brain. His teachings are characterized by a fusion of claircognizance, psychology, and common sense. Every piece of information he imparts is actionable, and his insights are tailored to equip you with the necessary tools to navigate this world with grace and ease.
From a tender age, Bauk has been immersed in a world where the extraordinary coexists with the ordinary, revealing to her a realm of paranormal experiences that transcends conventional boundaries. This early exposure has instilled in her a profound belief that life's mysteries are meant to be explored and embraced.
Inspired by the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, Bauk has dedicated many years to introducing elementary school children to the wonders of nature and leading guided tours for adults, fostering engaged curiosity, active exploration, and deep reverence for the world and its mysteries. As a trusted anchor on a local radio show, she has shared the marvels of nature with a wide audience. Bauk's philosophy embraces being fully present, open-minded, and receptive to the awe-inspiring aspects of life, nature, and the spiritual dimensions. She believes in actively cultivating a sense of wonder, reverence, and awe as transformative and spiritual practices. Her extraordinary encounters with the supernatural have infused her teachings with a touch of magic, inspiring others to awaken their own innate sense of wonder and embrace the limitless possibilities that lie beyond the veil of the known.
In addition to celebrating life's beauty, Bauk has also come face-to-face with the darker side of the world. With a strong passion for social justice, she has felt the wrath of the system in her role as a whistleblower. She has worked in therapy groups for abused women and served at a women's and children's shelter for survivors of abuse. Bauk holds a college degree in Social Work and Social Services, providing her with the knowledge and expertise to address the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals.
When not actively engaged in retreats, you can find her in her vegetable garden, engaging in a microcosmic dance of good and evil. When shifting from an Observer to a Creator, forces are unleashed that test the valor of that creator. It is a process through which the universe sifts through all souls, endowing them with gifts that require greater responsibility.
Bauk's diverse background, spiritual perspective, and experience in social work make her a compassionate and insightful guide on your journey. Join her retreats to embrace the extraordinary, nurture your sense of wonder, and tap into the transformative power of awe and reverence.
Details of this retreat
Ready to leave the hamster wheel? Aspiring to live in nature with a self-sufficient lifestyle? A life that is rich in meaning and spiritual balance? Growing your own food, experiencing traditional outdoor living in an affordable dwelling with modern technology—a place to nourish your soul, all independent of what the future holds.
Let us be your guide on this during this retreat, whether you're here to simply soak it all up or take diligent notes. With five years of experience, we have a lot to share. It turns out we've been going deep! Let me show you how radical our rethinking was to appreciate the value we bring to the table. Okay, so you step out of the hamster wheel. The first thing you notice is: gravity—it pulls you to the ground. Okay, so on what ground do you want to stand? We decided to buy a good chunk of land with lots of nature all around it. Nice! Really nice! Bare feet! Even nicer! Shedding some fashion-shaped clothing. 'Oh, I feel my self coming back!' On the land, you need a shelter, but what does it need to bring? Next: food. Healthy food tastes different but great. How do we ensure this food? 'After all this work, is there time for pleasure?' Yes! In fact, it's easy to get swept up by all the pleasures in your own retreat. Check for yourself and see if we're on a path worth following.
Our Sanctuary is shaped by these core questions: 'How do I step into a truly meaningful life? Does this action/decision allow me to grow (faster) to the point of enlightenment?'
Other goal-oriented questions we have include: 'What does it entail to live self-sufficiently? Do I have the mental strength and stamina to be self-reliant? To what extent can we shield ourselves from the dictates of society?
To reach the blueprint of your own sanctuary, the following questions and discussion points are helpful. We work through them during the retreat, providing you with answers and insights that we know to be effective. Drawing from our experiences and from our work as spiritual teachers and coaches, we aim to help you navigate the obstacles between now and your goal.
* Big Question: Is this something for me?
* How do I align myself with this big goal?
* How do I deal with the transition?
* What energies can I encounter after making the decision?
* Dealing with changing friendships
* Dealing with guilt over your chosen lifestyle
* Dealing with depression and anxiety, which may arise at some point
* Dealing with issues when growing your own food
* What to prioritize in your budget
* How to work with a limited budget
* How to set up passive income to support your new path in life
* How to work through procrastination
* Where to source the resources needed to build your chosen sanctuary
* How to supplement a simpler lifestyle with small pleasures that money can't buy
* How to carve out time to work on your spiritual growth
* How to shift to nature and your inner self as sources for spiritual growth
* The path to enlightenment can be a lonely one. How to deal with this?
* How to decide if you can go off-grid
* How to work through technological issues
* ...
