« Too many steps have been taken returning to the root and the source.
Better to have been blind and deaf from the beginning!
Dwelling in one's true abode, unconcerned with that without 
The river flows tranquilly on and the flowers are red. »

Chan master Kakuan, excerpted from: The 10 Bulls of Zen

Moving away from a sense of duality, of identification opens the door to ‘True Love’. And it is this adventure, this heart opening journey towards the core of what we are, this relaxed awareness which is none other than Love that this intensive proposed.
Being and Living Love is structured in the same way as all other awareness intensives with a silent retreat format which includes isolation (no physical contact). The same schedule and the same structured arrangement of communication sessions, active meditations and silent activities is taking place throughout the day.
The instruction: 'Tell me what love is', used by everyone gives a special flavor to this intensive that is not found in any other intensive.

Benefit of the intensive - what you will gain from participating
Being immersed for 5 days in an environment entirely turned towards love creates naturally an opening of the heart for each and every one. Realizing that « I am love » and/or that « only love is » can make a profound difference in the way we live and handle our daily activities.
You will gain…

• The opportunity to be in this experience of ‘being Love’!
• A better understanding of what love is and is not
• A deepened self-acceptance
• A pacified heart
• Contentment brought by relating with others from that space of a ‘pacified heart’

« Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy, all you need is love, love is all you need. »

John Lennon
