Awakening Intensive

AWAKENING INTENSIVE

A weekend with Shakti Caterina Maggi
February 8-10, 2019 (Fri. 7 pm – Sun. 4:30 pm)

 

THIS RETREAT IS NOW FULL!
Except for a limited number of day commuters without meals

“Life is a call to integrate the recognition of the Pure Self in our everyday living. Awakening is the realization of the unitary and transcendent nature of the Awareness. The integration of awakening passes through the conscious dissolving of the imaginary person and transformation of the contracted energy of fear into natural radiance and joy of our true Being”.

THE MESSAGE

Life itself is a call towards the Self, so our daily life becomes the way towards liberation. Though manifestation is only an illusion, it is also an opportunity for awakening, an invitation to rediscover the Self at the center of our own humanity. In this sense, overcoming fear and illusion is to awaken to the extraordinary beauty of the moment, and to become a true incarnation of Consciousness itself in human form.

Life itself invites you to go through all those fears that seem to cage you into the human body and into the duration of a lifetime. From the conscious perception of the immobility of your Being, these contractions, which are the same energy we call fear, are revealed as your own joy which is now free to radiate through the form. At the center of the egoic contraction, there is only pure Emptiness, something that is mistakenly conceived as fragile and vulnerable. But it is actually Openness itself, only apparently covered by the illusion of being a someone.

From this direct perception, life appears as an embodiment of the Absolute, and a precious opportunity to experience the Self consciously. As a creator who experiences itself through its own creation.

Shakti Caterina Maggi shares a message of non-separation among living beings since 2003 with seminars, meetings, retreats, and publications in Italy, Europe and around the world. Her approach, albeit in line with the ancient tradition of non-duality (Advaita, not-two), has a contemporary dimension that she shares with clarity, wisdom and humor. It invites everyone to live their daily life from the recognition of what we are, embodying this understanding, and radiating it out in our existence.

This will be Shakti’s first appearance in Canada. Visit her website here for more information.
