BREAKTHROUGH INTENSIVE Retreat

Ready to breakthrough? This process is designed to provide the right environment for you to directly experience a powerful shift in awareness.

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 go on to work with:

What Am I?
What Is This?
Where Am I From?
Why Am I Here?
What Is My True Nature?
What Is The Body?
What Is Another?
What Is Life?
What Is My Way?

There will be opportunity for you to discuss your choice of question with Frances prior to the retreat.

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. You'll be asked to put aside all other distractions for the duration of the retreat and commit to the process.

There are very limited spaces on what is set to be a unique event - book directly through frances@mindfullyhappy.com

This powerful retreat is a MUST for advanced practitioners and also suitable for all those inspired to face life's big questions. No particular worldview or beliefs necessary.

Our amazing chef and forager Kate is a huge hit with previous participants. It's hard to do justice in words to the incredible feast of organic vegetarian fayre she crafts for us.

Some Background:

For context on the schedule, you'll be woken at 6am and sessions will go on until around 10.45pm. This tried and tested schedule is designed to as such to get maximum results in the shortest retreat time possible.

We use a combination of the revolutionary Dyad work developed by Charles Berner for 'EI's' (Enlightenment Intensives) as well as taking inspiration from the work of Zen Master Daizan Roshi and energy practices from the Rinzai Zen Tradition. Frances is happy to answer any questions you might have about the process, technique and your suitability to attend.
