About This Event

A Deep meditative Retreat in Beaumont-la-Ferrière, France
(With French-English translations)

What takes place when the brain, the mind and the body are really quiet and harmonious - when the mind, the body and the heart are completely one?  Then one lives a totally different kind of life. 
- J. Krishnamurti, The Awakening of Intelligence
 
Living is an art which means giving right place to everything and not letting one thing dominate the other. The way we are living now, our habits, conditioning and fears are dominating our whole inner and outer world and relationships which is the cause of suffering, stress and recurrent burn outs. Living with fullness, peace and joy requires a balance between body, mind and heart. This retreat offers a reflective journey into such fundamental questions of our life: 
·      How can we find inner clarity and freedom and let go of the heavy burden of the past? 
·      Is there a deeper meaning of life beyond the mechanical and habitual way of living? 
·      In what ways can we rediscover our deeper essence and uncover a source of peace, harmony and love within oneself? 
·      What is insight? Are there some factors or tools which can help insights to happen? 
·      What is inner transformation? 

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.
