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?
