Cost: 2 days accommodation +R400 surcharge
Dates:
“The most common form of despair is not being who you are.” - Kierkegaard
As humans we live here amongst the “family of things,” yet somehow separate. This illusion of separation the Tibetan Buddhists term Maha Bekandze – the Great Suffering. Join Charisse at the BRC to dissolve into the bliss that is your true nature. Together we will practise various forms of meditation. All of life is a meditation in that it calls us to pay attention. In curious mindfulness we will find our playful connection to Life itself.
Through guided conscious dance, process art making, free writing, immersion in nature, sitting in silence, walking, eating, talking, singing, listening deeply, practising yoga and qigong, you will gently be led back to your oneness, your emptiness, which is true love. You will surrender into your natural grace and choose joy.
View teacher details Hide teacher details Charisse Louw has been facilitating retreats since 2017. In her twenties, yoga changed everything for the better and she went on to study in Indian ashrams. She deepened her meditation practice in Japanese Buddhist temples and has sat Vipassana and ZaZen regularly She studied qigong in the Chinese Dragon’s Teeth Mountains and most recently trekked Nepal solo. All of these adventures brought her home to her heart in humble gratitude again and again. She currently lives in Noordhoek where she loves raising her teenage children, lecturing at the University of Stellenbosch in Visual Studies, while hosting regular qigong circles, workshops and retreats.
