The Whispered Teachings Retreat
There are many spiritual paths and traditions that speak of release from the constraints of our rational thinking mind, making contact with higher energies, relieving personal suffering and understanding our true nature. How can we discover what these teachings promise in the context of today and how do we see our true (Buddha) nature amidst the hustle and bustle of modern day life?
During the Whispered Teachings Retreat we will explore some of the methods that have been used in ancient traditions to deliver us to this most elusive yet innate essence quality. A practical application of these methods will be woven into the weekend’s work with a view to offering participants an understanding of what the methods are, how they differ and how to begin to achieve a practice in daily life. One of the themes will be our essential nature, which requires no cultivation, it requires simply that we see it.
Through a combination of working with nature, using powerful shamanic tools, body energy work and meditation, we will gradually reduce the density of the obstacles that prevent us from seeing our true nature.

Together, we will also explore working with our senses and sense objects, so that we can create a map of ordinary consciousness. The sensorial realm makes up a big part of the complex astral field that we individually and collectively inhabit. Through sacred ceremony, physical activity, dance, music, Bhajan (sacred community singing) and mantra, we increase our level of subtlety in readiness to see the Buddha nature. Essentially it requires that we turn away from all phenomena, turn away from appearances: these phenomena all appear in the sensorial realm.
What are the whispered teachings? How do you hear a whisper? Quiet the senses and begin to listen.
