I N T R O D U C T I O N ENLIGHTENMENT INTENSIVES are residential group retreats for those who seek a pure awareness of self or reality, a moment of that state of direct experience traditionally known as self-realization, satori, or enlightenment. Over three days of non-stop self-exploration, participants on an Enlightenment Intensive work on a question such as "Who am I?" The aim is not to find some great 'answer' or great feeling, but to directly experience for oneself, within oneself, the actual truth -- whatever that may be. The retreat is designed to support each participant in seeking their own experience of truth entirely through their own efforts. There are no spiritual teachings or philosophical discussions about what that truth could be or should be. Instead, the format simply immerses all participants in a process of inner discovery. A simple technique is taught that combines open self-enquiry with partnered communication exercises. It is a safe, well designed and extremely powerful process that makes sudden enlightenment possible for a good number of people in as little as three days. |
