MEDITATION-PLUS RETREAT March 1-3, 2024 \u2013 EVA WOLF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LESS IS MORE<\/em> – SIMPLICITY AND SURRENDER<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A preview for everyone into the retreat program.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dear \u2013 potential \u2013 participants,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a few weeks, we will spend three days together in silence at a beautiful location, the Hof van Kairos near Winterswijk. This silence will be nourished by our mindfulness exercises, our conversations, delicious food, and much more. There is also a space, the Atelier, for those who feel the need to talk with each other now and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently eleven\u2014a nice, intimate group\u2014and there is still room for more. I am sending this outline and content of our program to everyone who receives my blogs, so you can gain an insight into the general setup of such a retreat, whether it lasts 3 days or 4 days (like our summer retreat from August 26 to 31, which will be about life and death <\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Themes that will definitely be addressed in the context of <\/em>simplicity and surrender include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Problems, confusions, injuries (\"traumas\" in Latin)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Worrying, fretting, having fears (e.g., FOMO), being irritated, experiencing frustrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Stress and relaxation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Playing like a child<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The unbearable lightness of being (with a nod to Milan Kundera)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Simplicity and surrender in everyday practice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    As always, I create a collection of texts and poems from others and myself, which I use as background material and inspiration for our meditations. A copy of this will be available for review (and for taking \ud83d\ude09) on our book table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can prepare by reflecting on the themes in your life that you want to untangle and\/or gain more insight and clarity into. You can also read (parts of) my book The Flower<\/em> in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For practical information, see my website and\/or email debloemretraites.gmail.com. And, of course, you can always call, text, or email me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Until then (who knows) \u2013 I'm looking forward to it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (o) Eva<\/p>\n\n\n\n
