4 - Day Weekend Retreat
It's Time to inquire into self
Immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the Dega Farms and explore the profound teachings of J. Krishnamurti. This retreat offers a space for quiet reflection, self-inquiry, and communion with nature. With no structured guidance, participants are invited to pause, observe, and engage deeply with life’s fundamental questions.
The four-day programme consists of video-screenings of Krishnamurti’s talks and discussions, formal dialogues around a theme, informal conversations, time for study and reflection. It formally will end by lunchtime on Sunday. Participants especially those from outstation are welcome to stay a few days more, either before or after the Retreat, if they so wish. The number of participants in the Retreats is restricted to about 10.
Don’t you also want to go away sometimes to be quiet and take stock of things and not merely become a repetitive machine, a talker, explainer and expounder? Don’t you want to do that some time, don’t you want to be quiet, don’t you want to know more of yourself? All the same, it is good to retreat to be quiet and to take stock of everything that you have done.
And I think it is essential sometimes to go to retreat, to stop everything that you have been doing, to stop your beliefs and experiences completely, and look at them anew, not keep on repeating like machines whether you believe or do not believe. You would then let in fresh air into your minds. Wouldn't you?
