‘Meeting Yourself as Life Itself’
Intensive Retreat with Unmani
– Online Participation
Monday 1st to Friday 5th July 2024
Waking up to the truth means not only recognising your Absolute True Nature, but also discovering the mysterious unfolding of how this is lived in your human life.
It doesn’t fit into any ideas and is an endless falling apart of whatever you thought you had or knew. Trying to hold it all together, to control life and make it fit into your ideas, especially spiritual ideas, is so much effort, and doesn’t work. Endlessly trying to fit your very human self into beautiful spiritual dreams of perfection, only makes you feel like there is something wrong with you. But by courageously taking the risk to stand by your imperfect human nature, you acknowledge the perfection that you are already. The bubbles of spiritual hopes and dreams must burst, and disillusionment is often experienced. You come down from floaty heavenly clouds, to the ground, and face the raw reality of Life as it actually is. You realise the arrogance of thinking you know how it all is, or should be. Life takes you on the humbling journey of bowing down again and again to the mystery. This human is the mystery, just as the whole of Life is that mystery. This human can never, and does not need to ever, fit into any ideas of perfection. It is such a relief to let it all fall apart, and be whatever you are now. Then all that is left is gratitude and awe for this ever-revealing mystery of Life.
A wonderful opportunity to attend the retreat online if you are unable to be with us in person.
Unmani guides each person in continual waking up out of thoughts and dreams, to the recognition of what is beyond it all.
For Whom?
- Unmani offers this intensive retreat for seekers who are now ready for the simple truth, rather than desiring more beautiful spiritual experiences. It is for those who want to come to the end of seeking and who have the courage to acknowledge the truth that you are, and can never lose.
- This time together offers a rich opportunity to:
– question, share and discover how this life can be lived in truth and openness, without any false promises or dreamy experiences
– get to the root of all your hopes and fears
– wake up out of the dream of separation
– deeply acknowledge that you are not limited to what you thinkIt is about waking up out of the dream of thought, and living the Openness and Freedom that you really are. It is about exploring the truth, and what seems to restrict you, in the midst of your daily life.
Unmani’s message is not only in her words but also in the energy field. She speaks from that ‘beingness’ that awakens to itself when it is heard. While the words are used to undo confusion and misunderstandings, it is also about resonating with what is happening, beyond all the words.
‘If you really step out of the way, and stop assuming you can control it, you will see what this Life energy does on its own. Risk living in wonder and surprise.’
~ Unmani

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Unmani’s intensive retreats can be very intense and go very deep.  In these retreats, Unmani always gives as much support and individual attention as possible, however, when you register for an intensive retreat you  it is always your own responsibility to be sensitive to yourself and to know how deep you are willing and able to go.
Occasionally this work may bring up latent traumatic memories which can trigger overwhelming thoughts, emotional responses and behaviour. Working with Unmani may offer an opportunity to recognise, release and go beyond these states. However, a participant with a pre-existing mental health condition may feel overwhelmed by this and so additional medical and psychiatric support may be required. Please be aware that we are not able to provide this type of support or expertise.
If you are currently receiving or have previously received any medical treatment or therapy for issues related to mental health, an intensive retreat may not be suitable for you. We encourage you to consult with your mental health practitioner before participating, to ensure that the retreat is right for you at this time.
Intensive Retreats with Unmani are not a replacement for any medical treatment or diagnosis.
