5-Day Deep Meditative Retreat in France Inspired by J. Krishnamurti Copy

“It is only a brain that is unoccupied that can perceive something new, that is free, that has tremendous vitality. It is necessary to have a very quiet mind because it is only a quiet mind, unoccupied mind, a brain that can see things clearly, that can actually think totally differently. …” ― J. Krishnamurti

This retreat is an invitation to pause, reflect, and explore the fundamental questions of life with an open heart and mind. It offers a safe, non-judgmental and compassionate learning space where one’s true essence can unfold and flower.

Together, we will embark on a journey of profound self-exploration, guided by loving attention, presence and stillness. Our shared intention is to facilitate an inner shift from fear-based living to presence-based living.

WHAT WE PROPOSE TO LEARN?

– The art of deep listening, looking and learning.

– The art of meeting life and our true essence through deep inner silence and awareness.

– The art of meeting fears, emotional reactions, sorrows, hurts and traumas in a non- reactive way.

– The flowering of inner peace, confidence, and trust in meeting the unknown A simple and profound approach to meditation in our daily life.
– True love and compassion, inner freedom and the joy of creativeness.

And many more questions which will arise spontaneously during the retreat.          

FOR WHOM?
For those willing to go deeper into the journey of self-discovery and transformation. For anyone who sees the importance of living from a higher level of presence. It offers a safe, serious and caring space to discover ourselves, meet our deep essence and look at our whole life in a fresh, creative way, whether we are a seeker, a mindfulness practitioner, a coach, a therapist, an artist, a teacher, a professional from any field, a leader, a change-maker, a parent or simply a student of life.
