Retreat is a response to the call of the heart-that call which beckons us toward reality, to the truth of our being, to that which is truly sane, really real and liberating ... When a group of people come together as a response to that kind of inward call, it creates a very powerful environment, where truth is held in the highest esteem and the reality of our being responds to that deepest intention.

Often life is a frantic avoidance of the truth.

What the universe will manifest when you are in alignment with it is a lot more interesting than what you try to manifest

Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.

To be here, all you have to do is let go of who you think you are. That's all! And then you realize, "I'm here." Here is where thoughts aren't believed. Every time you come here, you are nothing. Radiantly nothing. Absolutely and eternally zero. Emptiness that is awake. Emptiness that is full. Emptiness that is everything.

The main requirement for spiritual growth: A yearning to know who you really are.

Do not seek after what you yearn for, seek the source of the yearning itself.
