The Presence of Life and Love

 

A 5 day retreat with conversations and reflections about who we are.

We appear as human beings to live in our own and very personal experience of separation with its magnificent stories which fight for our egos desire to be right.  And sometimes we have others to collude with us in this fascinating game. What fun and entertainment because it's all about 'us'!  Our minds are about searching for meaning, purpose and understanding.  And in that search for 'something'  (bigger house, more passes in exams, healing my relationships, getting a new gadget, enlightenment) while there is nothing wrong in wanting 'this', we will always feel like something is missing or lacking.  That 'something' is actually nothing in particular and nothing special and it has always remained with us whether we have known it or not. It lies beneath our beliefs about the world we think we know and is the only unchanging invitation to joy and wonder beyond our 'selves'.

The five days of time we share and join together is an invitation to experience any emotion or feeling in the awakening of unconditional love.  Suffering is joy, hope is despair and life is experienced just as it is.  The form of what happens will unfold - just as life does - and although there will be questions asked they will not satisfy the intellect. And the mystery of knowing something will always be there! 
 
Beyond our apparent world of opposites lies knowledge of unity that lies at the very heart of oneness.  When this is known the separate self is freed into an expression of life that is unique and adds to it all.  It is exciting and beautiful and everything is seen in a new light ..........  all the time!  Life goes on exactly as normal and all things still happen.
 
This workshop promises nothing and it invites you to share in conversations and relax into silences.  And we'll see what happens.
