Asilomar Retreat - Silence By The Sea

THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL

Everyone who is sincere, everyone who is work deeply upon him or her selves faces it! It is called the DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL. Jesus had it in the Garden of Gethsemane and upon the cross and we have it usually in times of great change or facing death. This retreat will be the most important retreat of a lifetime and will set up your whole experience in life and how you will live from the very Soul of your own being. Gregory will offer you a chance to EXPERIENCE the light of the Soul for yourself as the presence of wisdom that will offer you light no matter what you might be moving through in the world or within yourself. This retreat will give you that which philosophy and religion cannot…direct experience in the vastness of mindfulness through conscious meditation. Gregory will offer transformational meditations that are nothing but pure energy! Through meditation and the inner exercises that will be offered at the May workshops in both Monterey and Encinitas California you will have a prelude to our powerful summer retreat. Each student will be given exercises to work upon each day and then in August Asilomar Retreat we will be bring them into a oneness that will offer you a loving experience that is predicated upon the students willingness and intent to feel the ESSENCE OF THE SOUL as their ultimate identity. You are seeking to fall into LOVE with the soul…it is your life’s calling–but your resistance to allow for Love is causing you a profound pain that will not leave you in this life or any life to come until it is released. Within this compassionate retreat you will have the chance to heed that CALL of the Soul even in the DARK NIGHT and come to a place in your life that you may have never been before.

WORKSHOPS FOR MAY:
Please go to the workshop page and read about what Gregory will be offering at that time. He is currently preparing his students through meditations and journal work to feel the presence of the Soul as the very Life of our life. It is deeply important that you be at either of these workshops to gain the most out of the Asilomar retreat.

PRE-ASILOMAR:
We have added a half day to this loving experience by offering a morning and part of the afternoon at one of Gregory’s students homes in Monterey on August 10th beginning at 9:00 am and running through till 2 pm. Then we will go to Asilomar and check in, have dinner and then meet again in the evening. This is an extra activity and is deeply important and will set the tone for the whole experience of the retreat. The donation for this “pre-Asilomar” is $50.00 (fifty dollars), which includes your lunch. To sign up please contact Gregory at 831-622-8410. He can enroll you at that time and will send you a donation receipt for your gift, which will be used for airtime of Aspire. We have very limited space so it is good to do this by June.

THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL:
A Typical Day at this retreat will involve a meditation in the morning at 6:00 a.m., which is called Energy Momentum One. This is a catharsis that will clear your mind and allow you to feel the open and ready for the day. You will then be able to ready yourself for breakfast and come back to our room for practice at 9:00 am each day. In the morning Gregory will have a gestalt for you and then Gregory will introduce a new Tibetan Pulsing meditation that will open you up to the Light within you through prana breath work.

THE AFTERNOON will begin with another gestalt and then Gregory will be offering another new meditation, which you will use to feel the experience of the soul. This will end at 4:00 pm and you are given the afternoon off to rest and have dinner.

THE EVENING meeting will begin at 7:15 pm and we will be doing our famous ENERGY DARSHAN, which will open you up to a powerful sense of bliss and of course heal your sorrow and pain. This bliss will bring a great Love into your very being. It is through bliss that we heal our broken human spirit.
