The purpose of this Retreat is to transcend limitations of
the mind/body idea and to embody open awareness on all levels,
intellectually, physically, and emotionally.
A quiet mind is dependent on an empty peaceful non-gripping body.
We will explore concepts held as true
Identify one’s main belief pattern about life
Touch the emotional holding of the past
Meet pre-verbal survival impulses on the cellular level
While the person is striving for the truth and well-being,
many with much success, there is also a reservoir of tightly held
dark states that hold the physical body as a solid identity.
The person is very familiar with the recurring patterns of pain
and the stories of repetitive suffering that this can cause.
I am referring to repressed mixtures of insecurity, doubt, fear,
pain confusion, hatred, betral, denial, trauma, abandonment,
manipulation and abuse.
Pure observing awareness is the natural result
of a non-holding form.
