SILENT MIND – BEAUTIFUL FEELING

4-day retreat in Norway with Michael Neill, Dicken Bettinger and Natasha Swerdloff 

(NEW DATES: This retreat, originally scheduled for September 2020, has now been moved to May 2021 due to the global Covid-19 situation)

Over the course of four days at the beautiful island of Tjøme, Norway - Michael Neill, Dicken Bettinger and Natasha Swerdloff will be guiding an exploration into experiencing the heart of the Three Principles – the beautiful feeling that comes with a silent mind and offers us access to our innate wisdom, love and a ever-present experience of our spiritual essence.

If you’ve been touched by “the inside-out understanding” and want to go deeper into the experience of Mind, this retreat will allow you to drop out of your concepts of God and spirituality and into the reality of what Syd Banks called “our true nature”.

We will be exploring:

• What it means to realize the very nature of the 3 Principles
• How any feeling can orient us toward the nature of the Principles
• How to increase the depth, purity, and duration of your experience of Divine Mind
• The incredible practical value of what Syd Banks described as “the ultimate answer to every human problem on earth”
