AN OPEN RETREAT TO EXPERIENCE THE INNATE AND EVER-PRESENT PEACE, WELLBEING and LOVE WHICH RESIDES IN US ALL
“The discovery that peace, happiness and love are ever-present within our own Being, and completely available at every moment of experience, under all conditions, is the most important discovery that anyone can make.” - Rupert Spira
“The Self is the light of lights. The Self is consciousness, and the Self is happiness. It is eternal, and it is truth, and none of these things can be lost because they are ever – present everywhere…. Let the Self prevail. There is no need to search for it.” - Sri Shantanand Saraswati
All are welcome to enjoy these retreats, in which we will practice living together, being fully present, using mindfulness practices and so reducing the concerns of the egoic self. We will fully engage with the glorious natural environment surrounding Nanpantan Hall, which we will run on these principles.
We will enjoy the great outdoors. We will sing, meditate, practice yoga, prepare food, share experiences and relish this most wondrous of natural environments in the best of human company. Most importantly, there will be space to simply BE STILL and find inner peace.
Food is prepared by attendees and is vegetarian (not vegan).
