Exploring Deep Stillness and Connecting Beyond Words
What is The Deep Awakening?
This is going to be a very special Deep Awakening exploring the power of silence. My retreats are normally very relaxed and chatty, with lots of social interaction, which is wonderful. But this is going to be different. The silence will allow us to sink into the stillness of Deep Being.
Unlike most silent retreats however, where participants tend to draw into themselves, the objective here is to explore both our own Deep Being and profound connection with others from a place of silence. When words are stripped away we are presented with the opportunity to connect with each other in a deeper, non-verbal way.
We will go into silence after introductions on the Friday evening and come out of silence after breakfast on Sunday morning. As with other retreats there will be a combination of deep ideas and powerful practises. Some music will be used and there will be The Big Love Immersion on the Saturday night.
I will speak to share ideas and to guide the practises, but I will ask everyone to remain in silence rather than share experiences with each other or chat between sessions. We will have specific times to share and ask questions during the retreat, but at all other times we’ll be in silence.
In our frenetic, over-stimulated world we are bombarded by words all the time. This silent retreat will be about deep stillness and connecting beyond words.
