This long weekend is intended to remember and become completely familiar with your peaceful state of Being. Qualities such as silence, satisfaction, clarity, authenticity, love, and joy naturally flow from Here. What we are looking for is actually our Self. Or as the awakened teacher St. Francis of Assisi put it nicely: "What you are looking for, is already where you are looking from".
 

Our attention is often completely occupied by thoughts, all kinds of stories, beliefs, etc., which makes our vision very limited. If we can let go of the fascination with thinking, we can ask ourselves; who is this 'I' to whom these thoughts appear? Can we become aware of the timeless space of consciousness in which thoughts come and go? Also called the 'true Self' by awakened yogis.

 
To gain clear insight, we use silent and guided meditation, Yin & Yang yoga, Hatha yoga, conscious connected breathwork sessions, self-inquiry and, for example some dance and contact exercise. When the body and mind are relaxed and open, there is less tendency of identification with limiting thought patterns and emotions and we can more easily experience ourselves as Consciousness.

 

During certain meetings there is also space for sharing: sharing experiences and asking questions. There is plenty of time to use the sauna, to walk, or simply to rest and enjoy.

 
You are more than welcome to participate in this in-depth retreat if the above text is appealing to you; your heart goes out to truth, meditation, breathwork, self-inquiry and remembering and experiencing who or what you are deeply.

 

Noble Silence

We stay from friday evening in "noble silence", with exception of sharing and contact moments during some sessions. These days we will refrain from socializing, reading, internet and other forms of communication. The social silence outside of the lessons is an extra opportunity to always bring your attention home to the silence of Being; in order to become more familiar and anchored in your Essence.
