Program Details
This is an in-depth experiential program for beginners and seasoned seekers alike. During this time, we want to investigate what do we really want in life and what are we doing to get there. This takes an honest evaluation, and just for these few days, we want to be truthful about our real desires and motivations in life.
During this workshop we will pay attention to the inner longing of the soul; we will meditate and prioritize to find peace and inner joy, leading to a fulfilling and balanced life.
Meditation is the highway to knowing who we really are. It is in fact, the greatest device for self-exploration. When every corner of our being starts revealing itself and the different facets of our personality are experienced and understood, the journey of self-discovery gains momentum and becomes the greatest adventure. Simultaneously in life - fears, prejudices, jealousies, loves, hates - everything is there, we have to deal with the entire gamut of nature’s forces and this requires honesty, courage, authenticity, and trust.
The transformation happens when an inner understanding starts unfolding; an inner growth. And then, when we see something that needs to go, we let go of it. If changes need to be made, we make them. Then we have the capacity to enhance certain qualities and discard others. In the beginning, there is effort but as we move on the path, start trusting and meditating, the journey becomes effortless and blissful.
This workshop will deal with the basic concepts of spirituality and psychology. It will include meditation exercises, theoretical insights, personal experiences, partner and group work; guiding participants towards a deeper understanding of oneself; one’s priorities, values, motivations, desires, difficulties, and relationships with others.
We will experiment and play with various meditation techniques ranging from breath work, deep relaxation through hypnosis, cathartic dance, and conscious body movements to food meditation; a conscious interaction between participants and self-inquiry methods.
The retreat will lend clarity about what we really want in life and why evolution, self-growth, and meditation are important and essential. We will learn many tools for meditation and spiritual/psychological growth, besides experiencing a deep cleansing of the body, mind, and emotions.
After this retreat, whenever the going gets tough in life, we will always have the solace of our inner sanctuary for retreat and to be without problems. If we are authentic in our search and a true seeker, we shall discover the spiritual path best suited to us.
