Spiritual and Arts Community
invites you!
Retreats in Germany, Spain, Ukraine and India
With a focus on finding out who we really are beyond ego, the socially fabricated ideas and believes which we carry. What is essential to the present moment? What is the Truth?
A Community which invites you to Be as You Are!
On the Path to inner Freedom a strong and loving community is an essential support to mirror what is inside and support to heal from the past.
Theater, Music, Art
Our Daily live is an expression of creativity. We run several business and a publishing company for spiritual books and films. In evenings and retreats we often practice theater, mantra music and heart dance

Love Is
Love is already there. It alone IS. All that is needed on your part is to give up thought, which makes you imagine yourself to be apart from Love, and so merge in Love. Then there is only Love, which is bliss beyond imagination. To one who has discovered the ecstatic joy of volitionless Love, sadhana [spiritual practice] is a laughable absurdity. To those who require justifications, we may say that such Love blossoms only in souls which have perfected their sadhanas in previous births.
