Please note the deadline for registration is August 31
This 7 day retreat is split into two sections. A weekend and 5 further days for those who want to go deeper.
We all want to be happy, we all want to be free. What I hope to communicate through this retreat is that happiness and freedom are already ours. Happiness and freedom are already ours when we stop getting caught up in our own neurotic and agitated thinking.
That we are already happy and free may not be our experience at present, but it can be, and it doesn’t involve years and years of struggling with self-development. In fact self-development can just get in the way, because self-development is all about the self, all about the ego, all about me, which is the root cause of all our problems.
The way to be free and happy is not achieved by acquiring anything outside of our selves, or by developing this quality or that quality. Nor is it achieved by trying to be a special type of person, or being a “good” person, but by looking at the story of who we think we are. We are free when we stop believing and identifying with the image we have of ourselves in our own heads.
Freedom and happiness is for everybody, not just for the select few. We don’t need to live in a special place, we don’t need to don special clothes or recite sacred words in sacred places. It is available for each and every one of us, if we are willing to look at our selves with honesty and with courage.
I invite you to join me and discover your own innate happiness and freedom at the Mumonkan centre.
