This
five day retreat is for a small group of 22 people only and is a rare
opportunity to spend time in close contact with Christine Breese, D.D.,
Ph.D., founder of University Of Metaphysical Sciences. To see who Christine
Breese is, feel free to visit http://www.youtube.com/MetaphysicalSciences
to watch some of her free video satsangs.
This
retreat is focused on helping the participant to deepen the experience
of enlightenment. Most people who are interested in spirituality have
had glimpses of enlightened states of mind, moments of pure awareness,
and peak spiritual experiences that come and go. This retreat focuses
on finding what does not come and go, the enlightenment that is the constant
state of the true self that is beyond the human identity. Rather than
going back and forth between enlightened states and sleep states constantly,
in these four days of retreat you will find out how to stay aware at all
times.
Breitenbush
Hot Springs is a wonderful place to be in retreat. You will have full
use of all the facilities on the grounds, including wonderful hot springs
in beautiful natural settings. There are also yoga classes and such that
you are welcome to participate in during open times in the schedule. The
schedule of meetings with Christine includes meditations, discussions
and group activities beginning on Sunday evening and continuing through
Thursday morning. Each day there is a morning meeting, afternoon meeting,
and evening meeting. Come and enjoy Breitenbush! It is a beautiful place
to be! It is not far from Portland international airport, and it is easy
to get to.
