LEISURE, LEARNING & RELATIONSHIP
5/night Inquiry Retreat
DATES : Tues 21st – Sun 26th April 2026
VENUE : 4 star Guest House, Provence
Les Sardines aux Yeux Bleues
In this retreat, we will investigate together if inner exploration can happen in relaxation, freedom and the immediacy of observation. Is there a totally different way of living in leisure, learning and good relationship?
This retreat is inspired by but in no way following the teaching of J.Krishnamurti…
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
We don’t usually associate everyday work, living and relationship with leisure, do we?
Neither do we usually experience learning about ourselves and the world around us, as leisure; it is usually accompanied with stress, strain and the effort to know how to manage it all. Nor is the gravity of human existence and self inquiry viewed very often in simplicity and innocence.
So how is it possible that there may be effortless intensity, clarity and good humour in everyday living and self-inquiry?
This is our inquiry.
