It is essential sometimes to retreat, to stop everything you have been doing, to stop your beliefs and experiences completely, look at them anew and not keep on repeating them. You would then let fresh air into your mind.

The intention of this retreat is to be a retreat in the deepest sense. It is rare that we have the opportunity to share a space in silence together; to gather together with the intention of minimizing the external distractions of the world to come in touch with the quiet space of our being.
Most visitors staying at The Krishnamurti Center have their own retreats. Individuals can decide how best to organize their time at the Center, using facilities such as the library and quiet room, watching their chosen videos on a device or one of the screens set up for this purpose, listening to audio recordings, and walking in the lake and village side.
We invite you to an 8-day of quiet exploration and deep inquiry into the nature of self knowledge and Meditation. This retreat is for those who wish to look deeply into their own minds, to see clearly the workings of thought, fear, and desire, and to understand the limitations of knowledge.
The vitality of the retreat, and its momentum throughout the 2 week, rely on the sincerity, care, and responsibility of each of the participants as they live and work together. The intention of the retreat is above all, to allow for open exploration of all aspects of one’s life, with the ongoing potential of gaining insight into the nature of life, the world, and the activity of human relationships.
Dialogue inquiry, complemented by a hand-picked selection of Krishnamurti audio, video and texts, form the basis of our group events. Full attention can be given to aspects of the teachings and their implications in one’s own life.
