’The Heart of Presence’ - with Paul Hurcomb and Radical Devotion Residential retreat at Odenslunds kursgård, Nyköping, Sweden 2 - 6 JanuaryThe Heart of Presence -Retreat with Paul Hurcomb and Radical Devotion, Nyköping, Sweden 2-6 January
“One of the most beautiful things we can do for others is to simply give them space; space to be themselves, space to express, space to rest, space to be still, space to be quiet, space to breathe, space to simply be....”
Explore the possibility of living together in the state of presence. Daily satsangs, guided meditations, time in nature, self-inquiry, hanging out by the fire, yoga, bhajans, cooking, eating and living together in a very simple, natural, real way. Some part of the day will be in silence and there will also be space for sharing. The main focus of this retreat is to discover who you are beyond the conditioned identity.
About Paul: Paul spent many years as a practicing Buddhist until 2002 when he had a deep awakening from mind to presence. This led to meeting his teacher Mooji in India and from there a natural progression to holding meetings and retreats. Paul's approach is natural and spontaneous combining the deep embodiment of presence with a direct, simple and clear approach to spirituality. During these retreats Paul offers a direct invitation to come into the full realisation of Being.
