A Deep meditative Retreat in Beaumont-la-Ferrière, France
(With French-English translations)
17 – 20 May & 21- 26 May 2024 
(Possibility to join any one retreat or both together.)

“Where there is fear, love cannot exist. Where there is ambition, love cannot exist; where there is power of any kind, the other cannot be…We are asking, do you love, because without love, suffering will go on...”

            -J. Krishnamurti, Mind Without Measure

            

This retreat offers a safe, inspiring and compassionate learning space to explore some of the vital questions of our life:

·      What is origin of fear and how it is dominating our minds, senses and most of our life?

·      How fear is connected with our search for security and pleasure?

·      Are we constantly escaping from facing the reality of oneself: which could be a sense of nothingness or emptiness? How to meet this existential emptiness or void?

·      Why do we suffer? Is it possible to end psychological suffering?

·      Is there a state of love which is not attachment, jealousy, possessiveness and pursuit of pleasure?

·      Is there an insight which can bring a shift from a life of mechanical reactivity to a non-reactive lively presence? 

·      Is there a way of living which is beyond fear and sorrow?

SPIRIT AND PROGRAM OF THE RETREAT
ONE OF THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS OF THE RETREAT IS “MEDITATIVE DIALOGUE AND SELF-INQUIRY.” What we learn here is that a deep dialogue is not an intellectual process of discussion or exchange of lot of words but it can be a compassionate meditative process of self-discovery where words carry the quality of silence and affection as they arise not from the noise of the ego-mind but from a deeper space of wonder and love. The retreat 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 or simply a student of life.
