Enlightenment Residental

​

With Robin Baldock and Greg Branson
3 Day residential workshop

It seems incredible that the vast majority of people go through life without knowing who they are. We think, we reason, we feel - but we do not know.

The traditional zen enlightenment process is geared to the needs of the Eastern seeker. For the more impatient Western temperament, it has been shown that by fully communicating ourselves to others the direct experience of enlightenment can more easily be attained and more readily assimilated into our daily lives.
 

This process, lasting for three days, gives you the best possible chance to attain self-realization.  It is rigorous and requires 100% effort for 17 hours each day. The time is spent in contemplative communication diads, with meal and exercise breaks in between. An impressive number of direct experiences usually result.
 

What is important is that it does not require any belief structure to participate, indeed preconceived ideas are a barrier to enlightenment. All you have to do is to be willing to open up to the truth, to experience yourself without all the mental and emotional baggage that you usually carry around with you.

Direct knowing of self is clear, powerful, and usually obvious. Indeed, many people give a valid answer on the first day,    But answers are not the experience, and one has to go through periods of doubt, despair, anger, and fear before the ego lets go and the true self is experienced directly.  It is a journey well worth taking and the workshop leaders will fully support you as you plumb the depths on your path of inner discovery.
