Hydra island
Hydra is a medieval looking island, with no traces of the business of the world, just donkeys and horses for transportation. So the soundscape is beyond words. It is an ideal place, to deepen into stillness, being supported by nature and its elements.
There are so many opportunities, to have a variety of means, leading to this longing to surrender. There will be activities to choose from, leading to the background stillness and the ability to be fully in your body,simultaneously old issues are bound to come up to the surface. They’re given their space to be fully felt and met.
It’s up to you how you want to make use of your time.
You can dive directly, with no other aim into this blissful state and deepen into it, having no other desire but to stay present 24/7. In other words, make yourself available, the rest is not up to you.
So lots of choices, depending on your priority, that which is the most important intension in your life. After all every single moment regardless of what you are doing ,could be used as an opportunity to stay present.
CRETE
In the early autumn ,I will be some weeks in Crete. I find the landscape there very archaic, and suitable for those who want to immerse into stillness (hermitage) and expose themselves to less comfort.
Loud and strong wind and wild waves could be in the program. Waking up with the sunrise, and closing up the day with the sun set ,you will be embedded utterly into the rhythm of nature.
At least a week is recommended, so there will be a few encounters in the first few days. After that, the fewer the better. You can decide according to what makes you happy. You can rent a room, but spend the whole day in a cave, under an olive tree or by the sea. We will have a fire ceremony in silence.
Old issues may come up which are an opportunity to dive into these feelings and release them from the captivity of the unconscious if necessary.
There will be times during the day ,where we will be together.
If several people come at the same time, I recommend keeping to yourself.
At this point I would like to mention that you are responsible for yourself, if you have any health problems, please let me know, because you need a certain stability, physically and mentally. Also, this is not a substitute for medication prescribed by your doctor.
