This retreat is an invitation to sharpen our awareness, and access the Hearts Core Compassion.
From this compassionate heart centre there will be a guided exploration of the relationship with Self-Other-Earth and The Divine.
The guiding principle and orientation of the retreat is that we came into Being already bearing the image of the Divine, our essence is Love and Compassion. Many of the ways we relate with ourselves may not reflect this truth. This retreat will help uncover some core beliefs that keep us eclipsed from our true nature and essence.
The retreat will be experiential, and components of the retreat will include: Sitting meditation, Qi Gong, Personal Reflection, Small Group Sharing, Personal Time in Nature.
