EVENT DETAILS
We will explore through discussion, silence and direct experience, the Truth that we all endeavor to live as so diligently.
When we're willing to let go of all the effort and trying, going as far as we can, never settling for any half-Truth, we get to discover and be alert to, what works, and what doesn't work... as true explorers of the Infinite.
Through questions and answers and receptivity, what wants to be revealed to clarify, empower and guide will be spontaneous, from the Infinite Intelligence we are. The Love and Awareness we bring to the retreat will be magnified by the group consciousness that has come together by the grace of the Infinite, and enlivened by the sense of community.
A specific schedule will be emailed to all participants, but in general, we will gather first at 7pm on Monday, giving us a chance to meet and greet and start things off right with a guided contemplation.
Tuesday and Wednesday, will be full days of meetings, including guided contemplations, discussion through questions and answers, Silence, and an optional walking meditation outside by the river. We will also have lunch catered at the house on these days
We’ll have our last meeting Thursday morning ending at 11am.
There will also be time for private half-hour sessions with Octavia on Tuesday, Wednesday and possibly Thursday afternoon if needed. Please reserve ahead of time by emailing Octavia.
