Easter long weekend retreat at Kurlana
The Path of Integration – the classic practical exercises
Part 1
Graham Williams et al
4 pm Friday 7 April–2 pm Monday 10 April
About this retreat
The classic exercises within the path of Integration are called Yogas and they work for your emotions and inner world in exactly the same way as yoga works for your physical body. They strengthen your emotions so that you develop true emotional intelligence, while also making them more flexible. In a way, they are gymnastic exercises for your inner life and emotions. They also give you structure and clear directions for linking up your mind, your emotions and body – your head, heart and gut.
Called the Yogas of Naropa, these exercises form the foundation of the path of Integration. Members will be familiar with many of these practical exercises as a number of meditations in the Lifeflow courses are based on them: starting with the Spot Meditations — ‘Instant Calm Breath’ and ‘Bodyline’ in Learn to Meditate. Not only do they work for strengthening your emotions and inner life, they give you a totally different view of your body, take you into the dream world, give you a detailed way to work with transitions, and explore the experiences that open up on the path. All of this is aimed at fully realising and understanding the foundation of the human mind and completely integrating this into your body, your emotions, and your mind.
Part 1 of the retreat is over the Easter long weekend, part 2 will be over the October long weekend. Attendance at both retreats is not a prerequisite to attend.
