Our Obsession to Control Life Controls Us'

We need not detach from our feelings to remain centred and free from reactivity.  in our lived experience, emotions are an important part of how we navigate the world. allowing ourselves to feel deeply is one of the most important things we can do on the path;  yet how often do we investigatetheire source - if they rise from the conflicted self then this is cause to investigate -

if they rise from an expression of love and intelligence follow the feeling into action;

How do we know?

if you do not feel diminished, personally hurt, or defensive you are moving in response and not in reactivity;  There is much injustice in the world does this sense of injustice rise in the personal or rise from a deeper sense of being called to serve:

Investigate the personal, act accordingly when it rises in truth ;

“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and right-doing, there is a field.
I'll meet you there.

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.”

Rumi

We are being called deeper to respond  to life, to our soul, to each other,

called to serve that which is real;

Life is abundantly rich, so full, so wondrous and touching with its poignant bittersweet moments, that it can feel unbearable at times- As individuals, we continually ponder: Can we embrace the boundless spectrum of opportunities? Must we shy away from this richness? May  we enjoy the limitless realm of possibility; May we aspire to respond and less to react:

         May we be as the broken Gong

   Retreat Practicals

Michael and I invite you to arrive in Guaro village at 16:30 on the start date of the retreat.

This aligns with the bus from Marbella and allows you time to settle in, swim, rest, and relax. Even if you drive, please still gather in Guaro because our track requires a 4x4. We apologise in advance for not being able to provide an address, as the Sanctuary is off-road and difficult to find. Closer to the time, I will email out practical information along with our contact number. We are only reachable by phone from 16:00 on the day of the retreat. Please contact us at spain5rhythms.com.

 The retreat finishes at 14.00 on the date given. 

 Book your return flight after 19.00, this gives plenty of time to return to the airport by bus: If your flight is earlier a Taxi is the other option, takes 40 mins and cost 45 Euros: works out cheaper when shared. 

Michael organizes this for you when you are here~
