*This retreat has been postponed. Please stay tuned for new dates!
3 Essential Skills
To Overcome Obstructions
And Realize Your Spiritual Liberation
Self-realization is the fulfillment of your spiritual yearning by dealing with the challenges of life in the most skillful manner. It is the attainment of self-love and mastery in both the spiritual and the worldly realm. On the way to this high goal you must overcome stress, personal conflicts and suffering, and ineffective methods to resolve them. They are like the pot-holes, obstacles, and wrong turns on the road. This journey can now become much easier and faster for you.
In this retreat you will take important steps toward lasting peace of mind and emotional harmony. In two relaxing, instructive, and very practical days you will learn revolutionary ways to overcome your challenges. This practical learning can serve you for the rest of your life. You will get:
- A comprehensive road-map for your journey to the Source of Happiness
- Knowledge and practical experience of the life-changing Skills for Awakening
- The joyful support of other spiritual seekers and true and effective guidance
This integral spiritual practice can fit your situation and personality perfectly. There is no need for long psychotherapy or guessing which one of thousands of approaches to spiritual liberation is best for you. It leads you to mastery in your inner and outer world.
The freedom you seek is already at the core of your being and you can activate it there quickly and directly.
Key topics we will cover:
- Experience the crucial power of the spiritual heart to transform your entire life
- Understand the true source of suffering and the most potent ways to resolve it
- Access intuition, unconditional self-love, and the capacity for powerful healing
- Release the beliefs and emotional patterns that sabotage your fulfillment
- Learn to overcome any and all life-challenges by using them as steps to freedom
- Transform any negative beliefs into new life-affirming realizations
- Use your present life situation as your perfect road to enlightenment
