Being Extraordinary and Ordinary
Living the Awakened Way
October 14-18, 2024
With Helen Hamilton at the Awakening Together Retreat House in La Veta, CO
There are so many myths about awakening and what it is to live an awakened life that we may not know what living in the awakened way looks like. In this retreat, we will explore deeply what awakening is (and what it isn’t) and how it manifests in and as our lives. We will practice meeting emotions, triggers and challenges as the awakened being would and combine this with deep meditation, self-inquiry and satsang together. Firstly we will come to see who we really are and then we will see how easy it can be to live this way.
An awakened being is both extraordinary and ordinary, a beautiful meeting of the Divine and the Divinely Human. They are consciously and effortlessly living from a place of discovery and joy, exploring Reality and no longer being able to get lost in thoughts or suffer in any way. There can be joy, peace and love no matter what our current experience is and this simply becomes a habit over time. What would it be like to automatically and habitually welcome resistance and suffering as a sign that we are in the process of expansion? How would you feel if you could not tell any stories in your mind about your experience? What is it like to live as the Infinite Self that is everywhere and also enjoy your temporary experience of being a person?
During this retreat we will dive into these questions and explore them together. If you feel a calling in your heart to be with us, join us for this beautiful retreat.
