A Meditative Self-inquiry Retreat (with French translations) in Beaumont la Ferrière, Central France
22- 26 March 2023

INTRODUCTION
“Awareness is the silent and choiceless observation of what is.”   - J. Krishnamurti 
In these few words Krishnamurti sums up what may be our process of investigation into the dimension of pure awareness existentially, and how it is directly related to the timeless source of wisdom. In the course of this first retreat - in a series of four this year -  we propose to meditate and dialogue upon the following questions :                                                                                             

SPIRIT AND PROGRAM OF THE RETREAT
This retreat offers a restful break, a pause for the mind, body and heart that is essential as a foundation for deep learning and transformation. The intention is not to fill our minds with intellectual knowledge but to awaken the profound source of being within, so that we get inspired to live our everyday life from the wellspring of inner stillness. The program includes: inspiring live talks,
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 where ego-mind is the centre-stage 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.
