Retreat: retreat from october 31 to november 11, 2022

 

I thank the opportunity to be present in this chain of goodness, it was very important for me although challenging, being without subterfuges, completely turned to myself with the purpose of remembering the I AM caused me fear, but the field of space sustains peace, serenity and communion becomes relatively easy.

I leave here with my pearl to put on my necklace of life to further adorn my walk, which doesn't stop here.

I thank the residents, you are wonderful, completely dedicated, serious, and respectful. I thank you immensely, and may I be able to serve humanity as you have done.

And I thank the creator and sustainer of this dharmic network, Sriman Narayana.

Thank you!

 

Retreat: retreat from october 31 to november 11, 2022

This is for sure the most intense experience of inner searching that I have ever lived through. I have to confess that it is very difficult, but very rewarding. The pain in the body, I believe, is the biggest obstacle. Everything hurts. Everything is uncomfortable. In those moments, the mind doesn't cooperate even a little bit... mine... told me to give up all the time. My stomach was a separate war... the strangest and most diverse noises... everything different all at once!

When everything seemed calm and reasonably "normal", then came the bell... Ah! This one I even trembled... At 3:30 in the morning... you can't resist, turn to the side, warm bed... "Jump fast, it hurts less"... This was my "mantra" at that moment... and the days went by, the body pains and discomfort disappeared, the mind... ah, this mind! It even surrendered to all of this... It became calmer, more centered, stopped complaining, can you believe it? And a light at the end of the tunnel began to appear.

The process was getting more intense, every day, but at this time I could go through it all with much more calm, much more lightness... The gratitude was increasing... The welcome feeling and of belonging too... and here I am on my last day of retreat... crying... always. Lol... With a lightness in my heart, a peace in my mind... It seems that time has stopped... The weights on my shoulders are gone... It's as if we took a heavy backpack off our shoulders and replaced it by a lighter one... And by the way... lightness... the food here is wonderful! Think about a simple food, pure, made with love, care... how delicious!

The team is wonderful too... we don't speak to each other for 10 days, but it is as if every day we get to know each other better and better. I am pure gratitude!

Namaste!

This retreat has such a subtle and potent force that it scares (at first), puts us in contact with all our chains of fear, illusions, greed, lust... and makes us face them and make a decision. It is a retreat that goes beyond what one imagines, that makes us choose, face and realize that silence is much more than silence and how much we deceive ourselves with words, desires and illusions.

The space is incredible, beautiful, I felt in the middle of the forest, an exuberant beauty that each time presented me with something new, rain, sun, moon, several birds, various scents and sounds... a pure, light, subtle energy.

The residents within their seriousness, always showing welcome and pleasure to serve.

The seriousness and rigidity of the space/people made all the difference to my surrender.

The videos and daily talks have a perfect didactic. I loved all the process, thank you for every detail.

I am grateful and happy for this opportunity.

Retreat: retreat from 01 to 12 June 2022

It was the first longest and most intense retreat that I have ever participate… it made me realize how much turmoil there was in me… and getting in touch with everything that comes out is not easy… a lot of highs and lows… some time it was a whirlwind… apart from the body aches… sleep… all this caused me a lot of frustration because I often couldn't concentrate… I couldn’t do the kriya… meditation didn’t flow… the first few days were the hardest... I thought I couldn't make it to the end… but little by little I changed my way of looking at everything that was happening… all this agitation that arose… without trying to control and rationalize all the time and so it was flowing better...
My quietest moments occurred when I sat on the grass looking at the mountain… or contemplating the sunrise in the meditation break… this place is incredibly beautiful… and nature alone inspires silence… all the silence occurs in nature… the sun rises and sets in silence… the plants grow in silence… no rush… in the time it should be…
Gratitude to all for promoting this connection opportunity ???????
P.s -–food was great ???? ... it was hard to make light meals ????... thank you boys!
