Breakdown and Breakthrough – Nature’s Way

‘What was said to the rose that made it open was said to me here in my chest.’   
-Rumi

The natural world maintains a perfect balance. The constant state of flow of life restores and regenerates. Although we are sometimes prone to forget this we are, of course, part of this natural world. When we forget we often see breakdown as failure and ignore life’s capacity for rebalancing.

In the retreat we will have the opportunity to consider what happens when breakdown is welcomed and breakthrough allowed…Also what happens when ego breaks down allowing our true nature to be revealed.

The day will be a mixture of discussion, contemplation, meditation and silence. There will also be a silent walk through our botanic gardens.

The clarity of conscious being is never dulled but often obscured by the conditioned mind. There is nothing to be done. Simply to open to the clear flow of the stream with grace and gratitude. ~ Martin Wells
