Enlightenment Intensive retreat
Who You Really
Are
Have you ever wondered if there is
something more? More than your thoughts,
more than your personality, the way others
see you or how you label yourself?
Who are you really? ... and What is your
authentic purpose?

Essential Self
Thoughts, emotions, sensations, the
identification to what we do or achieve...
these are aspects of our personality,
continuously changing according to the
circumstances of the outer world.
In contrast, the Essence is the highest
aspect of ourself that remains consistently
present throughout all changes in our life. It
is the most authentic, resourceful and
gracious You in its total purity.
Knowing your essential nature is a direct
path to a joy, happiness and inner peace
which we all long for.
Recognizing your Essence facilitates an
immense stream of aliveness, flowing
creativity and knowing your place in the
world - your purpose. Such a state is also
known as satori or a glimpse of
enlightenment.

About The Process
The Enlightenment Intensive is a unique
group retreat enabling a spiritual
enlightenment experience (satori) within a
relatively short time.
It is a ‘stand-alone’ process outside any
organisation or religion, yet it uses a
combination of the most efficient tools from
traditions such as zen, mindfulness and
modern communication techniques.
This fascinating process cracks open the
thinking and emotional patterns that mask
your True Self and allows your essential
nature to be revealed and blossom.

I was flabbergasted, surprised
and shocked at the effect… this
allowed more ‘flowing freedom’
to go deeper into my inner self.
Flowing freedom.
I felt the effects 3rd day and 4th! So light, as if they took 10 kilos off my chest.
The weight has been lifted.
Still feeling more connected to
myself. It has integrated in my
life in so many subtle way’s. A
feeling that I have been looking
for as long as I can remember.
A feeling I've been searching for.

How Does It Work
During the intensive process, you will be
placed in a completely safe environment
with no distractions and in social silence. The
core of the work will be self enquiry sessions
called Dyads: a profound zen contemplation
of the question ‘Who am I?’.
The program also includes numerous holistic
techniques, such as guided meditations,
conscious movement, working/walking
contemplation and holistic detox.
After three days of the intensive process,
you will have an opportunity to integrate
and enjoy the afterglow of your experience
through relaxation, movement sessions and
spa treatments while connecting to the
stunning nature around.

It’s all about trusting in the process and a few days afterwards I feel light, alive and excited about my life.
Feeling excited about my life.

There were so many, many moments of full presence throughout the retreat. Reconnecting, rediscovering the joy of life and sense of natural lightness .
Rediscovering the joy.

It gives you a certain distance, from those behavioral patterns we always seem to identify with. So when my thoughts and emotions take the overhand and I feel like I’m unable to act differently than I always do, having had that 'glimpse' allows me to judge myself a little less, to be a little less tough.
Loving kindness towards Self.
