Satsang Weekend:
This Satsang Weekend was another chance to enjoy the wonderful presence of our beloved Swaha.
On Saturday, he read from a beautiful and ancient text from the Upanishads - about renunciation of the unreal and going beyond heaven and hell, into the cave of the Heart. This was followed by a playful and relaxed environment.
On Sunday, Swaha started the Satsang talking about Remembrance. Answering a letter from a young seeker, he shared about the true responsibility to stand up for Love, Truth and Peace instead of playing games of demands, worries and guilt.
Reading a beautiful Sufi saying, he shared with us the sweetest gift; giving us a taste of the innocent and abundant Heart...

A drop in the ocean:
Yesterday was the last day of the retreat. It was a wonderful day.
Our Beloved in Satsang shared with us letter of disciples, overflowing with love and gratitude. He also reminded us that now, as we are in a space of happiness and silence, it's important to take care of ourselves, and to share our heart with our beautiful family.
Everything seemed in harmony, it was as if the nature was celebrating with us, the blue sky, the strong wind, creating a beautiful dance of trees and flowers.
In the afternoon we all went to the tent to see the children's play. The children were as sweet as usual, and at the end everybody joined in a blissful dance by the lagoon. Thank you Beloved, for this wonderful two weeks, for this beautiful adventure of being with you.

Quote of the day:
"What is beautiful when you melt is that you become a river. And then, when you come to the ocean: Ahhhhh!
Just melt more and more, relax into the river and let it take you to the ocean. And then just relax in the ocean. Thank you. I will miss you and see you soon. Aum Shanti!"
Vasant Swaha.

A drop in the ocean:
It seems like a miracle: the sun is back. We made it through the heaviest rains ever seen in this area.
The main road is blocked, some friends couldn’t come, some couldn’t leave. Around us, disaster;
but here we’ve remained untouched. Our magic tent has kept us dry and cozy, Satsang and the daily program took place as if the weather hadn't gone mad.
Swaha reminded us that we are both, light and darkness. We need to face our darkness, we need to befriend and accept all our sides, and this is the price to pay for the peace we all long for. It seems so easy when we are in his presence, but we all know that it is not that simple.

A drop in the ocean:
An immense rain initiated the second part of the retreat which will be in silence;
nothing like some good rain to help us going inwards, deeper and deeper, into silence and meditation.
To support the silence and welcome presence and intimacy, two groups will be happening throughout this retreat:
- The No Mind Group, created by Osho, uses a technique known as Gibberish to empty the mind, uttering meaningless sounds and allowing the body to express freely. In the second stage, in the space opened by this unburdening, we sit in silence.
- In the Inquiry Process, we will explore our experience in the moment, going through layers of our conditioning, giving space to our true nature to arise.
Today Swaha reminded us that we are just a drop that will inevitably disappear in the ocean; understanding and accepting this unavoidable truth brings relaxation and freedom, since nothing is in our hands. Remember: when the drop disappears, it becomes the whole ocean.

A drop in the ocean:
Yesterday was the last day of the first part of the retreat, a week in which we had a lot of fun, exploring different energies in a playful, creative and expressive way; a lot of dancing, sharing and laughing. The energy has been bubbling up; our problems and seriousness were thrown into the lake. Now we are ready to go inwards, into the silence.
It was so beautiful to see how the new friends easily melt into the loving and playful energy that radiates here. Long faces slowly turned into smiling eyes. Not even the rain has changed the mood here.
As in every other retreat some newcomers were blessed receiving Sannyas from Swaha who reminded us that Sannyas is just a beginning, a beautiful way to stand up for our truth, for the calling of our hearts.

A drop in the ocean:
Yesterday, Swaha reminded us again about innocence.
Every child is innocent, but unaware of it; growing up, this innocence is lost. The whole journey is about returning to this original innocence, but now with awareness.
Looking at our expressions as we are facing our Master, love and innocence are so tangible, so present. We are all blessed; tomorrow, early in the morning, there is Satsang again.
In between Satsangs, the groups and meditations are happening. Working with different energies, exploring dualities, going deeper into feelings and emotions, we are emptying and integrating aspects of ourselves… and having glimpses of oneness…

A drop in the ocean:
Today, is the third day of the retreat, A drop in the ocean. Many new and old friends are arriving from different parts of the world, and the climate is bubbling of happiness.
The retreat is two weeks long, and the invitation is to allow yourself to be natural, spontaneous - to rediscover your innocence.
In this first week, we will have many opportunities to move our energy, to explore our spontaneity and to open space for our inner creativity - in a very playful celebration of life.
The second week, will be in silence letting all that energy flow back into ourselves - to be a no-body - to be a no-mind.
In the Satsang yesterday, our beloved Master inquired us to find out what is really important in life. He also talked about how beautiful it is when we find back the no-mind state, the innocence every little baby comes with into this world.
Below, you can listen to the Satsang.
