Details of this retreat
“Only in Relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. The movement of behavior is the sure guide to yourself. It’s the mirror of your consciousness; this mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness, the joy and sorrow.”
J.Krishnamurti
Set in a lovely old village of Burgundy, in the Nivernais area and close to the vast Bertranges forest, La Maison has a warm and friendly welcome in store for you.
La Maison is a place of healing dedicated to silence and inner quest.
We don’t see life as it actually is, but through the lens of what we imagine it to be. My thinking might feel original, spontaneous and authentic; but is it?
By extension, in a dialogue group do I listen fully to you and clearly see what you are saying; or is my listening loaded with my own thinking and my particular version of what you are saying?
In this retreat, we will investigate if another kind of exploration can happen in observation.
Is there a totally different way of learning in relationship?
