Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Sticking to the Truth. Deep Impact Residential Workshop Samaya Retreat - Byron Bay Hinterland, Rosebank NSW Friday, 28 July 2006, 10.00am to Sunday, 30 July 2006, 2pm The Workshop is about awareness of what is true for you. It is an invitation to come face to face with essential aspects of your self and the essential nature of being. It is a subtle and paradoxical process; for to let go you may find you need to hold on tighter. Can I bear to look? Do I want to look? Do I want to stay comfortable? Can I be free if I am hiding? Do I want to be free? Stick to the truth, your truth. The Workshop is a special environment that prompts awareness and allowing. Nothing is promised to you, nothing is asked of you and nothing is expected of you. Yet in the haze there is an offer on the table. Although there is a $50 non-refundable fee by Samaya for the use of facilities, the workshop itself is free of charge. Donations for the workshop are gratefully accepted. Accommodation is in comfortable dorms or you may call Samaya to arrange a private room. You need to bring your own bedding, and food to share. Booking is essential as the workshop is limited to 20 participants Workshop Details: The Workshop is about developing awareness of what is true for you. It is about awareness of what you feel, of what you are and of what you are not. During the workshop you may experience intense feelings and emotions or you may not. With open awareness intend to know and communicate your truth directly. The invitation is to discover through the apparent paradoxes of our lives a deeper sense of reality and effortless goodwill. It is your inner journey and you will need to determine if pursuing a particular thought, image or feeling in awareness is appropriate, feels right or feels helpful. During the workshop you are neither asked nor encouraged to explore or investigate any mental states. If you do so it needs to be absolutely your own decision. During the workshop koans and other interaction exercises may bring to the surface long forgotten, intensely emotional and disturbing memories or experiences. You may find even witnessing the experiences of other participants intense or upsetting. It is therefore important that you do not suffer from any mental or physical impairment and have not been diagnosed in the past with any disorder, condition or injury, either physical or mental that might make it inadvisable for you to participate. The Awareness Workshop is a spiritual event and expressly does not claim any psychotherapeutic status. The Workshop has clear boundaries: * Confidentiality; refrain from discussing details of other participants outside the workshop. * Refrain from smoking and you may not bring illicit drugs to Samaya. * Redirect the expression of strong feelings to harmless discharge. * Refrain from touching without agreement. * If moved to offer advice or solutions inquire also into your own wants and feelings. * Talking in the breaks is ok; however you may wish to observe silence. After arrival and registration Samaya staff will show you the kitchen, shower and dorm areas and will provide assistance as needed.
