SUMMER SATSANG HOLIDAY RETREAT 2011

6 - 21 August 2011

„‘Living in Satsang twenty-four hours a day with a committed group
naturally creates a Community which provides the support
that you need to put aside your mind structures and open your heart.’“

Self-Enquiry

Intensive Weekend 06 - 07 August

On this weekend Premananda guides you to become truly present. In that moment of complete presence you can experience the rise of clarity and dive into deep love and bliss.

We deeply go into the question: ‘Who am I?’. This question can bring our attention from the world outside back inside to the Source, our True Nature.

The film „Arunachala Shiva“will be shown. It illuminates Sri Ramana’s teachings with commentaries from James Swartz, David Godman and Premananda.



Intensive Week 08 - 12 August

This intensive week of Self-enquiry is based on the simple and powerful teaching of Sri Ramana Maharshi “Who am I?” - a ‘Golden Key’ to Self-realisation.

Premananda profoundly goes into the teaching of Sri Ramana Maharshi and introduces Sri Nisagadatta Maharaj a master from the red light district of Bombay, famous for his clarity and thoroughness, and Robert Adams, the authentic messenger of Sri Ramana Maharshi, writer of ‘The Silence of the Heart’.


Core Teachings from the project
‘European Masters – Blueprints for Awakening’

Intensive Weekend 13 - 14 August

On this weekend Premananda presents his recent book and film ‘European Masters – Blueprints for Awakening’ to go deeply into the ancient wisdom of humanity from a European point of view.

Through striking quotations we will meet the personal touch and message of some of the European Masters from the project and find their common truth, which is our own inner Truth.



Intensive Week 15 - 19 August

The base of this week is Premananda’s recent book and film project ‘European Masters – Blueprints for Awakening’. Together we explore the core teachings of this project. It is a total delight to experience the profundity and the personal touch and message of each European Master like Karl Renz, OM C. Parkin, Christopher Titmuss and even the famous mantra singers Deva Premal and Miten. These Masters have taken their knowledge of the Indian traditional teachings and combined it with their knowledge of Western psychology to offer a unique transmission perfect for the Western seeker.

To complement the wisdom of these Masters Premananda introduces some of his spiritual heroes: His own Master Sri H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji), a direct disciple of Sri Ramana and his teaching ‘Be Quiet’, George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff, a mysterious figure fraught with controversies and revolutionary ideas, inventor of the Sacred Movements.





All and Everything

Intensive Weekend 20 - 21 August

Premananda particularly focuses on your own issues that prevent you from living in Truth, your own natural state.

This last weekend is a final moment to put an end to being a seeker. The challenge is to become a finder.
