The quest for Who is in? and Who am I? is as old as humanity. These questions are the undercurrent of every human being existence in life – no matter if man or woman young or old, stupid or clever, seeker or businessman, easterner or westerner.
No intellectual answer will help. You need to go into this question and experience it directly. Relaxation, trust, love, openness for oneself and others will grow simultaneously with understanding.
About the residential process
The 3 day residential process is relentless, intense and rewarding. It is designed to penetrate beyond your habitual masks and pretensions and to focus your total energy into the search for who you really are.
In the Awareness Intensive Retreat, the ancient Zen technique of facing the wall in silence is combined with the modern technique of structured communication facing a partner. Opening yourself in the presence of another person supports the incentive for the inquiry into who you truly are.
What do I get out of it?
As you move inside, the connection to your resources gets strengthened. You experience an infinite pool of creativity and Being. You gain courage to live life and your potential more fully.
Apart from the obvious benefits of being in the moment, there are many other hidden in this process such as:
- learning to listen
- learning to see and feel yourself and others
- experiencing your uniqueness and the ways of Being
- learn to give space to yourself and others
- getting to know and speak your truth independently of the image you carry
- experiencing relaxation and joy which manifest as you connect with yourself
