Welcome...
To what happiness already IS—Unlimited, Effortless Presence.
As a gathering of like-minded friends, we will explore Experiential Knowledge and recognize what IS—already. The Perfection of just Being.
Whether newly discovering these teachings or long devoted to Truth, this retreat offers a safe and nurturing setting to Just being—while realizing that perhaps happiness is not something to be achieved or obtained. Not the result of a process—-That-IS already.
Drawing from the Advaita Vedanta wisdom of Robert Adams and the practical message of Lester Levenson, this 7-day retreat invites you to:
Improve your life by letting go of imagined limitations and directly experience Freedom on a daily basis.
Being what IS already. The joy of just Being —Happiness.
Recognizing eternity. Our Divine nature.
Location:
The retreat is held in Rancho La Luz in the beautiful serene hills of De Luz near Temecula. The grounds include several patios, a swimming pool and a tennis court. Basic WIFI is available.
