Impressions from previous retreats

Sri Ramana Maharshi

The Sage of Arunachala

Sri Ramana and his teachings of Self Enquiry and surrender are the main inspiration for this retreat.

You Root out the Ego of those,
who meditate on you

Practices and Activities

to come back to your true Self

Self Inquiry

Self Inquiry means effort to trace thought back to its source and the relentless pursuit of the investigation, “Who am I?”

When thoughts arise, tackle them with the counter thought, “To whom has this thought arisen?” This arrests the further development of the thought.

 – Sri Ramana Maharshi 

Satsang with John David

Satsang means coming together in the quest to explore the Nature of our True Self. The word comes from Sanskrit (the ancient Indian Language) and points to a meeting of Spiritual Seekers with a Self-Realised Master.

Satsang often starts with a brief period of silence followed by a talk or an invitation to ask questions. Everything happens spontaneously. You may participate by simply listening to and absorbing the sense of freedom and peace, or you may choose to become more actively involved in a dialogue with John David.

Every time a thought arises, ask yourself, 'To whom has this thought arisen?' and then take the mind back to its origin, which is the primordial state of subjective awareness.
