‘Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source.
Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning!
Dwelling in one's true abode, unconcerned with that without –
The river flows tranquilly on and the flowers are red.’

Excerpted from Kakuan – 'The 10 Ox herding pictures'

3-day awareness intensive retreat
to let love overflow

Awareness is our true nature, love its fragrance - we all carry this intrinsic ability to be in life lovingly and joyfully, living our true nature.

Yet, due to our conditionings, whether Western or Eastern, we have tinted, obscured this direct connection with love. We live our lives in concepts, ideas, beliefs about what love is; romantic love, ideal love, everlasting love, also often mixing love and sexuality.

In the 3-day 'Love in awareness intensive' participants are invited to use the single pointed instruction 'tell me what love is?' to directly experience love.

It is an adventure, a journey of opening to our heart, to our awareness, a journey where the repeated use of the instruction 'Tell me what love is?' help us to move beyond our conditionings, our masks, our identifications our beliefs, our pre-conceived ideas around love.
This journey will bring clarity and awareness to what love is not. It will clear the way so that a state of being can be experienced, a state where mind has no relevance, where only love is.

The 3-day 'Love in Awareness intensive' is a fully residential silent retreat during which participants are invited to open in a loving way to themselves as well as to another and are asked to observe a set of agreements in order to facilitate their and everyone's process. These agreements are about keeping silence, keeping confidentiality and about the removal of all peripheral distractions so as to allow each and everyone to dedicate his full attention and energy towards his inner search.
