PURPOSE of the annual 3.5-day Retreat of Awakening:
Having Mindfulness and being Awakened isn’t only when we are sitting still or walking in silence. Mindfulness is being fully engaged in every second of our daily life, whether we are working, playing, laughing, eating, etc. It is about being fully present in all those activities, being fully engaged with those around us and not getting lost in our worries, anxieties, etc. that we do not fully enjoy the Here and the Now. Hence, the 3.5-day Retreat of Awakening provides campers with various forms of activities to help all us practice letting go and being fully present in the Present Moment.
