5 Day Immersive Self-Realisation Retreat
Peak District, UK 23rd May 2022
This retreat is all about your-SELF! The True SELF!
This retreat was a reminder of what you really are as the Eternal-Self and an opportunity to be as clear as possible about that.
Immersive 4 night retreat on the 23rd of May to the 27th, we shared a space and deeply explored and awaken the True Self through Meditation, Self-inquiry and Meetings In Truth (Satsang).
About A Self-realization Retreat
In each session we will be meeting together to remind and investigate the true nature of ego, Self and our experience, so as to have a direct-experience of True-Self beyond the egoic-mind (small self). The words and concepts are never that which is most important on retreat, it’s the conscious-presence underneath that is. That’s the foundation which steadies all clear sightedness. However, there will be the chance in each session to share your experience (only if you wish to), and to listen to the experience of others. This can be very helpful to gain greater clarity and understanding of your own process, journey and true nature.
In addition, a Self-realization retreat with others who are sharing the same intention, creates a powerful atmospheric energy that deeply supports insight and greater awakening!
“Self-realization will take you into deep purifying waters where everything you are NOT is dissolved.
It will clear a path for you to see what you really are!
A Self-realization retreat is an invitation to see what you are beyond the unhappiness and limitations of the mind-identity.
It’s an opportunity to find the real wealth of happiness and riches within.
Therefore, the sole aim of this retreat is for you to have a glimpse of the True-Self within.
And for those who have glimpsed the True-Self, for you to be permanently established in that reality!
Everyone wishes to be happy in life, but you can never be truly happy as long as you are chasing it outside of the True-Self.
When one opens to the True-Self, the truth of innate inner happiness is revealed.
5 Day Immersive Self-Realisation & Purification Retreat
Peak District, UK, 5th September 2022
This retreat was a 5 day purification of body, mind and soul. Working with special detox foods and juices, as well as pranayama breathwork methods, releasing techniques and deep meditation. As well as subtle reminders of the deeper nature of what you really are as the Infinite-Spirit.
We shared the space with the intention to deeply purify body, mind and soul, and REBORN a New!
What did we do?
We have all inherited a body and mind that works against itself. This was done purposely to restrict and limit mankind’s experience and potential. You may have noticed how when you try to do something good, or try to expand in some way, the body and mind push back against you. It’s like you always have an inner battle taking place, and a part of you just want’s to remain stagnant. This is why the body, mind and soul must be purified and retrained to be in alignment with your Infinite spiritual nature and its expanded potential.
In this retreat we began purifying the body with certain remedies and procedures, training the mind and soul to break free from the egoic thought-patterns that keeps one addicted to foods, other habits, negative thinking, negative behaviors and actions. In other words, this was a retreat for “Self-mastery”.
For this we also worked extensively with pranayama breath-control exercises, physical movements and stretches, special meditations, affirmations, mantras and much more. As well as tapping directly into the Self-realized nature.
This was covered over 3 sessions throughout the day, with detox meals, juices and smoothies in between!
