A mini retreat in Greece

 

Recently we had a mini 5-day retreat in Greece. We went to camp on a Greek mountain, at a height of 1500m, giving us the chance to be close to nature for those days. We also combined this retreat with the research for land in order to have the European Retreat.

It is always good for students to gather altogether for a few days in nature. That gives us the chance to reflect on the esoteric work that we try to do, relax and gain strength, re-evaluate and go into a deeper level of understanding.

The aim for this mini retreat was to investigate how to do the work through our heart and not through our mind. Something that all of us found to be very important.

The place that we placed our tents, was over a cliff, with a great view over the surrounding mountains. We spent a lot of time just sitting there, next to the pine trees, trying to be there, feel and enjoy every moment.

Here are some interesting photos!
