‘’Move beyond the limitations of the ego and experience Awakening’’

.

In an Awakening experience, what you awaken to is your true self, your essential nature – consciousness. In Zen Buddhism, they refer to this as being a Satori experience – a glimpse of reality, a glimpse of your true nature. You come to the realization that you are Awakening to a pre-existing self. You Awaken to the self that existed before your birth and will continue long after you leave this body and this life. Consciousness is not born and it does not die. It is the only constant in this ever-changing world.

.

Over the course of the Awakening Retreat, you will be given the opportunity to have an Awakening experience and gain an understanding of non-dual philosophy. With the guidance and facilitation of Shaldon Fitzgerald and Eneo Hollenbach, the door will be opened to a whole new experience of reality. Everything can look and feel different instantly. It is the most beautiful, profound and transformational experience in which you will create a relationship with your true self. You will also learn how the practices of meditation, yoga and breathwork can support your Awakening.

What are the benefits of awakening to your true self? Ultimately, what you gain is internal harmony and peace. With that, it will help in many other ways, some of which lie far below the surface of our knowing. On a more conscious level, it will help to decrease anxiety, stress, depression and deep-seated trauma, as well as improving your relationships with others and yourself.

It guides you to finding joy and purpose, while shifting your perspective on reality so you can see the beauty that surrounds you in each moment.
