The Power of Self-Inquiry

This weekend retreat will take place September 17-19, 2010 at the Swanwick Centre in a spectacular 32 acre ocean-front setting in the Metchosin district of Victoria, B.C. on Vancouver Island. It provides an opportunity for deep self-inquiry that includes DVDs of the 2009 New York retreat with Mooji , a live Q&A skype session with Mooji and a live session with satsang teacher John Taylor.

Mooji (see www.mooji.org) is a highly regarded teacher of non-dual self-inquiry or advaita who was born in Jamaica and now resides in England. Since 1999 he has been sharing satsang (talks with dialogue) in the form of spontaneous encounters, retreats, satsang intensives and one-to-one meetings with seekers who visit him in search of the direct experience of truth. Some of these are now available in two books: “Before I Am” and “Breath of the Absolute”.

Few among the modern teachers of advaita expound the ‘knowledge of Self’, and the method of self-inquiry, with such clarity. His style is direct, compassionate and often humorous.

Mooji invites you to take a fresh look at yourself. The one undisputed fact is that we exist. What is not questioned is: As what do we exist? In this retreat, Mooji will push your mind beyond conceptual bickering into the pulsating clarity of the Unthinkable.

This retreat covers themes such as the following:

The Master Key to you own Self

The Journeyless Truth

The Only Thing Worth Finding

Breaking the Spell

Activities

The DVD showings, the skype Q&A session and the live satsang will be complemented with opportunities for shared reflection, guided meditation, movement sessions and other supporting activities.

A Supportive Environment

The Centre’s beautiful natural setting is ideally suited for deeper enquiry and the emergence of stillness. To optimize this process and minimize distractions, participants will be asked to maintain silence during part of the retreat.
