Details

Satori is a radical inquiry. It is going under the skin, in the heart and in the belly to see and feel what is in the way of being oneself.
What is my true nature?
How do I lose myself or feel that there is not all of me present in this here and now?
What is this emptiness that terrifies me?
What is this restlessness that pushes me to do and do and do?
What is this longing for being more real, truer and complete?
What am I doing here?

Self-inquiry means to open and unsettle the mechanism that destroys the present by repeating the past. It means to be in the present, in the here and now.

The aim of this retreat is having this direct experience of being, an experience of awakening, and an experience of no - mind.
Satori is not therapy - but is highly therapeutic - It is an intense, honest, open and compassionate inquiry using existential questions: “Who am I? Who is in? What is Life? What is Love? Each one of these questions is a path that can take you from the confusion of the personality to the peak of clarity.

“Satori is like lightning – you can see a glimpse of the whole, all that is there, and then it disappears. But you will not be the same again. It is not final enlightenment, but a great step towards it. Now you know. You have had a glimpse, now you can search for more of it. You have tasted it, now Buddha’s will become meaningful”.
- Osho, ‘And the Flowers Showered’
