Arrivals Monday 25th Morning

Learning in Relationship

 

“Only in Relationship can you know yourself, not in abstraction and certainly not in isolation. The movement of behavior is the sure guide to yourself.

 

 

It’s the mirror of your consciousness; this mirror will reveal its content, the images, the attachments, the fears, the loneliness, the joy and sorrow.”

J.Krishnamurti

 

 

 

 


 

DATES:  25-29th August 2025

VENUE:  La Maison – Beaumont La Ferriere, Bourgogne, FRANCE

THEME: Learning in Relationship

 


 

Program Description

We don’t see life as it actually is, but through the lens of what we imagine it to be. My thinking might feel original, spontaneous and authentic; but is it?

By extension, in a dialogue group do I listen fully to you and clearly see what you are saying; or is my listening loaded with my own thinking and my particular version of what you are saying?

In this retreat, in an atmosphere of leisure and learning, we will investigate if another kind of exploration can happen in observation.

Is there a totally different way of learning in relationship?

Program Language & Communication

The retreat will be in both French & English. The facilitator and the organisers of La Maison are all bi-lingual, so they will be speaking in both French and English when and wherever necessary.

A bi-lingual inquiry retreat can be a wonderful opportunity to practice speaking another language. However help with understanding and communication will be available at all times.
