Summer retreat in Baarn, 5 - 11 July
During this retreat Prajnaparamita will give two satsangs each day. In satsang (meeting in truth) light will be shedded on the most essential questions of life by means of conversations and more subtle transmission.
Each day will start with Gayatri meditation, an age-old prayer for the awakening of all, and it is possible that several rituals will take place such as the Arati (waving of the lights). There will be also be space for creativity: making music, singing with the music group Gita Vinanda, and if there is enough interest, drawing or painting.
The retreat is based on self-sufficiency, so you are expected to provide your own food and accomodation. There are many possibilities to stay on camping-sites or in hotels. For further information contact Tourist Information in Baarn. (Can we supply a number +31355413226?)
The retreat starts on the 5th July at 15.30 and will last until the 11th July at 17.30
