This process is designed to provide the right environment for you to directly experience a powerful shift in awareness known as 'Kensho' - seeing one's true nature.
If you've ever been intrigued to discover the answer to life's big questions you are in the right place. The ultimate technique for those with interest in Non-Duality and Zen:
Our Koans/Questions; for all new to this process we begin with the key to self-enquiry: Who Am I? Practitioners experienced in the intensive format may go on to work with an extensive range of further Koans.
Please note: The nature of the retreat requires an intensive schedule - it is full on, but we assure you if you persist it is absolutely worth the effort.
