Enlightenment Intensive Near Vancouver, BC

When I attended my first Enlightenment Intensive in 2002, I was freshly arrived from the Himalayas, India, having spent the major part of 23 years there deeply involved in meditation and inquiry into Truth. Meditation is generally a solo experience, even when practiced in groups, so when I discovered Enlightenment Intensive Dyad Work, I was captivated by the format of sitting across from a partner while meditating on Truth. It was so powerful a medium to sit face to face in truth with numerous partners over the course of the days that my husband, Jack, and I enrolled in the process of becoming Master Facilitators of the Enlightenment Intensive. It is because of our deep love of Awakening and our abiding interest in our shared human experience that we desire to facilitate this work for others.  

For the past 4 years, I have participated as a senior staff member in putting on over 20 Intensives. I would love for you to join me and my impeccable and highly trained staff May 8-12th in this invaluable self-awakening exploration.

Master: Soorya _ Ray Resels
Place:This retreat will be at Springbrooke Retreat Centre, Langley, BC, (45 minutes from Vancouver). The retreat is fully residential, in a peaceful and natural setting, with gourmet vegetarian meals.
Date:Thursday evening, May 8 to Monday afternoon May 12/08.
Cost: $550

Florida Memorial Day Weekend Enlightenment Intensive

Jamar

Information: Contact Jamar;
Phone: (561) 835-8885;
Email: srijamar@bellsouth.net
Website: www.yogawithjamar.com

Dates: May 23rd - 26th, 2008; Friday 8 pm thru Monday 9 pm.

Facilitator: Jamar, Enlightenment Master, "Inner Awakening" yoga instructor, Meditation teacher, Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy practitioner, Life-Support facilitator, Rebirther and spiritual counselor. I am, however, not really any of these titles or trainings. They are merely labels to communicate that I have spent a considerable amount of time and energy in preparing for our time together. This journey has really been about coming home to myself and I am anxious to share what I know and have come to understand from over twenty years of practice. My teaching has taken several different forms and expressions, but who I am at my core is the same as who you are at yours. All the answers are inside of you. The time we can spend together can be about facilitating a deeper remembering of that. The Enlightenment Intensive is, by far, the most powerful technique I have experienced for facilitating that remembering; for directly experiencing Truth. Each journey begins with a single step; the path is awaiting ; the hour is set; let us come together and remember.

Light and Love, Jamar

Self-mastery is the greatest gift you can give to the world.

Seattle Area Enlightenment Intensive

Facilitator: Wayne Carter: Ever since I can remember, when people asked me what I wanted for my birthday or Christmas, I always wanted to answer, "World peace." That wish is still true today. It has also been the focus of my life's path--I knew that to have world peace, I first had to find my own inner peace. Through many Enlightenment Intensives, I have had the humbling opportunity to meet the truth, finding it not separate of me, but truly inside and everywhere it has always been.

The setting? A beautiful waterfront and wooded Camp Burton located on Vashon Island, near Seattle, WA. The retreat is fully residential, starting with an introductory evening, 3 days of intensive dyadic contemplation and then an integrative morning. During this retreat the meals will be gourmet vegetarian, the staff will be impeccable and are all highly trained.

Date: September 7th-11th, 2008
Cost: Enlightenment Intensive, including meals and lodging $300.00
Discount: Register by June 1st and save $25
