MEDITATION RETREAT Including Yoga & Chi Kung with Indra Ji and Louise Chardon – Odemira – Alentejo in São Teotónio – Odemira.
TRANSFORMATIONAL MEDITATION RETREAT
including daily Yoga & Chi-Kung
November 9 to 15, 2020
with Indra Ji and Louise Chardon
Join us for this transformational 6-day retreat,
realize Who You really Are,
and get clear about the future you want to see unfold.
For the whole human collective, 2020 has been a year of immense transformation. It’s the year in which we were – personally as well as collectively – constantly pushed into choosing for love based oneness, or for fear-based separation. For many of us, it was also the year in which we realised that the choice we make – the vibration we hold – determines the future we attract. We live in a quantum field of all possibilities, and that is exactly what we now are starting to understand and consciously relate to.
The next years will be a period of polarisation, where some of us will live as victims of fear-based beliefs, and others will consciously live their dreams, based on the new paradigm of Oneness Consciousness, bringing Unconditional Love, Inner Silence, Balance, and Freedom.
In this period at the end of this Crown year 2020, it is therefore very important to get clear about who we really want to be and what we wish this world to become. What is, in other words, the highest possible version of ourselves and of the world? What is the vibration we therefor want to hold? And how can we master our mind, emotions, and beliefs, whatever happens in the projection “outside” of us? These are the seeds of presence that will generate our future.
During this retreat we will lift the veil of “illusion”: connect with who we fundamentally are and get clear insights about this field «outside» of us that we call reality. This will help us to merge with the divine being within – eternal, infinite, complete, truly free, and abundantly happy!
If you are feeling the call, join us on this epic adventure of Self-discovery. Grasp the opportunity to discover your essence: not a separate being in a harsh world of solid matter, but an energetic, sentient, intelligent, creative, and blissful field of consciousness, boundlessly connected to All That Is.
During this retreat, you will reconnect with your True Self, through the trinity of Silence, Meditation, and Body Awareness.
Every day there will be a talk about your true identity and about the nature of this full-immersion holographic projection we call “reality”. All topics will be handled in an easy and comprehensive way and there will be time for questions and answers.
The result will be a change of paradigm that will fill you with inner peace, and that will help you to stand more confident and more balanced in life, deeply connected with the divine essence within.
The time has come to take up full responsibility for your potential and become conscious about manifesting the world of your dreams. It is time now to uncover the fully developed multi-dimensional being that you already are: infinite, eternal, complete, and free.
What can you expect?
- 6 days of deep Meditation and lots of nurturing Silence.
- Daily Yoga and Chi-Kung practice.
- Daily talk, with time for questions and answers.
- Delicious vegan/vegetarian meals with veggies and fruits mainly from our own garden.
- A significant and durable transformation!
“The nakedness of a heart that rests on nothing, but encompasses everything, this is the essence of Yoga, which precedes any technique, and from which the rituals of sacralisation rise”
-Christian Pisano, “La contemplation du Héro”
The Yoga practice which will be proposed during this retreat is addressed to the attentive listening to the modalities of our inner landscapes and their resonances with the wholeness containing us and contained in us. Through aligning our structure, tuning our tone, and witnessing our breath, we’ll expand our presence to a vaster field of receptivity and transmission, and awaken to an intimate and transcendental relation to Prãna (Energy). The practice will also be a fundamental support to help us develop and cultivate an alert, easeful and breathable sitting posture.
The Chi-Kung will inscribe our presence in a three-dimensional physical Mandala, encompassing the 4 primary aspects of the Taoist philosophy: the concepts of Yin-Yang, the Trinity Heaven-Earth-Human, the Five Elements (Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire), and the Pa Kua (I Ching – the mystical aspects of numbers). The eight trigrams of the Pa Kua are represented by the orientation of the body (rotating both counter-clockwise and clockwise throughout the form) relating to the cardinal (East – North – West – South) and inter-cardinal (Northeast – Northwest -Southwest – Southeast) directions. The patterns we move through in this Chi-Kung form awaken our resonance with astral energies: stars, moon, sun, and universe. This form of Chi-Kung (Primordial Chi-Kung) reconnects us with our prenatal state, our essence before we were absorbed by the whirlwind of oblivion.
