The Joy of Being Human

Le Havre - Val Morin

description

“How shallow is the stage on which this vast drama of human hates and joys and friendships is played! Whence do men draw this passion for eternity, flung by chance as they are upon a scarcely cooled bed of lava?” ― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I want... I like... I need... I feel... I think... I believe... What is this 'I'?

This retreat will be a deep dive into the magic of being human, and this incredible reality that we find ourselves in called 'life'. A chance to slow down and appreciate the joy of this precious human birth.

From the noticing comes the experience. From the experience comes the knowing. From the knowing comes the appreciation. And from the appreciation comes the care.

All the ingredients will be present for the right word or 'noticing' to arrive at the right time:

Meditation
Yoga
Workshops
Dialogue Circle
Silence
Deep rest
Vegetarian potluck meals
Nature (lots of nature, including river swimming!)

$100 registration + anonymous contribution

Space limited to 15 participants

Carpooling will be organized

There is an initial deposit of $100 to reserve your place and to cover the essential costs to run such a retreat. It is set at the lowest possible amount so that everyone in modern society can still participate. The deposits are non-refundable for cancellations within a week of the activity. In an invitation into the practice of generosity, your additional anonymous contribution after the retreat then goes to the venue host, facilitators, and daana and serves to keep these retreats going.
