Big Love In Our Bittersweet World
The Experience of Unividual Awakening
The time of our lives is limited. Life is a bittersweet adventure which can polish us up or grind us down. I hope you will join us for a beautiful, expansive, positive experience that can help you make the most of your life, by experiencing a ‘unividual awakening’.
I’ve been sharing the experience of spiritual awakening with thousands of people throughout the world for more than 30 years, and over that time I have come to understand spirituality in a radically new way. It seems to me we are learning to come into a state of unity with each other. We are individuals evolving into unividuals.
The unividual awakening is a transformative experience of big big love, because love is how oneness feels. This can be a wonderful euphoric explosion of delight, but it is also a strong love that can support us through the fear and grief that touches all of us on the journey of life.
We will explore many ways to experience the unividual awakening, so that we begin to commune as one. Take a look at this beautiful short film to get a feeling for what happens during our ‘Deep Gazing Circle’ on Saturday night, during which we create a relaxed, accepting, easy atmosphere in which we can let go into the big big love together.
This may sound intimidating to some, but I have seen again and again that it is actually totally safe and open to all. It is a wonderfully healing experience to really see each other and to feel seen. Our events attract participants with so many different backgrounds and temperaments, yet people who were strangers a day ago will appear beautiful to you and you to them.
I am fortunate to present these retreats with my wife Deborah, who specialises in wellbeing for body and soul. Her embodied meditations will help you feel able to love yourself as well as others, to feel the joy of being in your body, and to ground the unividual experience, so you feel able to take what you have found out during the retreat into the world.
My life’s work has been creating a groundbreaking new spirituality to take us forward into a new period of human evolution. This supports all we do at these retreats. You don’t need to already be familiar with my ideas to experience the big big love, but if you are it can help you make sense of your life in a deeper, more comprehensive way.
Recently I’ve been articulating this philosophy of Unividualism in my ‘podbook’ ‘Why Your Life Really Matters’, which is free on Youtube. This event is primarily experiential, but there will be opportunities to explore philosophy with me as well.
You may be thinking ‘Is this for me? Will I like the people? Will it work for me?’ I am very confident the answer to these questions is ‘Yes’. You will be so glad you came and you will return home with new friends with whom you have shared a very magical experience.
