The Joy of Being
This residential weekend retreat will take place April 23-25, 2010 at the Swanwick Centre in Metchosin, located in a spectacular 32 acre ocean-front setting on the outskirts of Victoria, B.C. on Vancouver Island. The retreat includes new DVDs of a recent retreat by Eckhart Tolle entitled “The Joy of Being”.
Eckhart Tolle (see www.eckharttolle.com) has emerged as one of the great spiritual teachers of our time. His books “The Power of Now” and “A New Earth” are international bestsellers and powerful guides for conscious living.
After a three year sabbatical, Eckhart has emerged, from near solitude, with fresh new ways of pointing to that infinite reality that is beyond identification with our personal history and mind. In this first retreat since his return, Eckhart will guide us on a journey into the timeless dimension – the original state – that survives in every human as the essence of Being. Come and join Eckhart on what is probably one of his most remarkable spiritual retreats. Get ready to be awakened and be shown how to rediscover what you have always been – Consciousness!
This retreat will include themes such as:
Beyond my Conditioning – Who Am I?
A Revolutionary Spirituality
Find Death before Death
Losing “Psychic Weight”
Activities
Activities include DVD showings, interactive opportunities, awareness exercises, guided meditation and movement sessions.
A Supportive Environment
The Centre’s beautiful natural setting is ideally suited for deeper enquiry and the emergence of spiritual insight. To optimize this process and minimize distractions, silence is requested during part of the retreat.
The Facilitators
This retreat is facilitated by Ralph and Madelaine Tiller. Ralph directs the East-West Clinic, a holistic health practice in Victoria. Madelaine is a registered psychologist practicing in Victoria and facilitates inner wellness workshops. They host Eckhart Tolle video showings in their home in Victoria and share a deep interest in exploring a conscious way of living.
