Retreats
Our retreats are specifically tailored to each individual’s needs, addressing what the person wishes to change, improve or let go.
We utilise a variety of proven modalities which may include: Life Coaching, guided meditations, Tibetan Singing Bowl healing, sound healing, Deeksha or Oneness Blessings, etc.
What to expect on your retreat.
You will arrive at the Centre the day before the retreat begins, settle into your accommodation and orient yourself around the retreat grounds. This in itself is great therapy!!!
We will introduce ourselves and share a little of our life’s experiences in a casual and relaxed setting, followed by dinner. Then, as the evening progresses, we will retire to our rooms and be gently lulled to sleep by nature’s chorus.
The following morning, Day One of the retreat.
Your morning will start with the tinkling of a bell at 6:30am, as our staff delivers your morning refreshment to the table and chairs on the verandah outside your room. Take a few minutes to awaken, slip into some comfortable clothes and make your way to the Meditation Bale (pronounced bar-lay).
We will then do some pranic breathing to flood the body with life-giving energy, followed by simple exercises to loosen up the neck, an element of Nei-gong called Eshing, guided chakra meditation and finally that wonderful yoga process “Sun Salutation” or Salute to the Sun”. This segment takes about 45 minutes.
Feeling more alive, we will then take breakfast together and following that, regroup in the Meditation Bale for some inner work and discussions.
Over the next three days we will repeat the early morning ritual and delve into what it takes to evolve beyond where you are now, to where you want to be. We will explore:
~ The Egoic Mind
~ The Authentic Self
~ The only obstacle there is between where you are now
and the state of enlightenment.
~ The various steps required to transcend the obstacle
~ The value of meditation and how to do it effectively
~ The only true reason for growing one’s consciousness
At each stage we put our theory into practice through guided and self meditations.
You will have the opportunity to discuss your progress and be guided towards your true essence by your teacher, at various times during the retreat.
Time is also given to contemplate on, and digest your new awakening in a quiet setting away from any distractions. This assists you to become more grounded in being.
Be warned, this will be tough. If evolving beyond the mundane, conditioned-self was simple or easy, let’s face it, everyone would have achieved highly elevated states of consciousness a long time ago. It is not easy, it is not necessarily comfortable and you will be challenged. However, with your commitment, persistence and diligence, you will leave the retreat after three days, knowing what it is you seek, how to go about it and more to the point, how to maintain that condition.
We have all had “spiritual experiences”, a sudden or gradual shift of awareness, those magical “aha” moments when clarity comes to the fore. And I am sure we have all lost that momentum when our interactions with people and life have cuffed us around the ears!!
What we endeavour to achieve at the Centre is to give you lasting, workable and useful tools to go away and overcome those self-created obstacles, which stand in the way of your true freedom.
We also believe in creating a long-term relationship with you and will provide additional support in whatever way is appropriate when you return to your home. We are in this together, we have to be, there is only One of us!
Meals – we will provide each participant with three simple but nutritious meals per day as part of the retreat fee. Much of our food is organically grown and some of it will come from our own garden. We cater for vegetarians and non-vegetarians.
Cost – The cost of the retreat includes:
~ Accommodation
~ All meals
~ All retreat activities as outlined above
~ Shared accommodation (depending on the number of participants)
~ Use of all amenities
