INTERNATIONAL RETREAT – SPANISH AND ENGLISH
THE PATH OF THE SENTIENT BEING – Presence – Accompaniment – Resonance – Trust
From 12th to 14th of May 2023
Manantial de Tara Association – Ecological Farm & Personal Development Center TenerifeThe path of the sentient being combines the Focusing process and Contemplative Presence Practice, this retreat invites a way of living from embodied Presence, going back to remember our true nature.
This retreat is open to all levels of Focusing practice. It can be especially interesting if you are considering advancing in deepening your experience of inner accompaniment and Focusing and if you are in the process of being certified or a Focusing teacher or are thinking about it, or perhaps you are just starting out and there is something in you that moves you to be here at this moment of your journey.
Focusing shows us a radical and authentic way of listening to our body with gentle and generous compassion, without looking for results or solutions. This path also pursues what we cannot express in words. It helps people find their own natural way of having a healthy and meaningful inner relationship to find a deeper sense of who they really are when they meet others and the environments in which they live.
It is becoming more and more important in our lives to access what is within our own inner knowledge and wisdom so that we can find paths together as we face life as it is.
During this retreat, we will go into the initiation and introduction to Focusing.
An opportunity to recover and remember how to listen to our body to connect with the deep wisdom it contains and dialogue with it.
We will create a space for sacred listening, displaying the necessary attitudes to find a more profound way of relating to ourselves and to others.
This is an opportunity to gently be with yourself and others in a safe space while exploring and recovering this implicit skill we all possess.
THE PATH OF THE SENTIENT BEING
