Awareness Intensive – Who is in?
Siyana, Yamuna & Pramod
Who am I?
Through this primordial question, we explore the direct experience of who we truly are, beyond the ideas we have collected and repeated throughout our lives.
When we ask ourselves, “Who am I?” or “Who is in?” without relying on our conditioning, problems, and identifications, we open ourselves to the truth of the present moment.
A journey of self-discovery through the use of koans and silence, which can take us deeper than the mind.
About the retreat:
This retreat is a deep, immersive journey into self-inquiry.
It is fully residential and thoughtfully structured to support inner exploration.
All meals are included and follow a specially designed, healthy and nourishing diet – free from stimulants and heavy foods.
Throughout the retreat, we will be in silence and disconnect from the outside world – no phones, no internet, no external distractions.
Speaking is reserved only for the koan sessions, where we engage in guided self-inquiry.
The process is gently held with the support of active meditations, one-on-one guidance from facilitators, and spacious time for rest and integration.
It’s a rare and precious opportunity to be fully with yourself.
