The workshops starts on Sunday evening at 19.00 with an introduction to the workshop and CCE’s. During the workshop each day begins at 6.00. Throughout the day you will do about twelve CCE’s and have three walking contemplations.
Two times a day you have a period of Satsang, meaning Being with the Truth; or Gathering for the Truth. During this period Reter Ralston will be doing talks, going over contemplation, telling stories, dialoguing and answering questions to help people in their efforts to have a breakthrough.
Every day during at least two CCE periods Peter Raston will be available for interviews to give you direct feedback if needed.
The meals will be light, but relatively frequent. Vegetarian meals are provided. You will be cared for so that your focus can be total.
During all periods outside the workshop space you will remain silent. Everything will be a contemplation. For example, meals are “eating contemplation” and bedtime is “sleeping contemplation.” The participant is instructed to “hold the question” every minute of the entire day. Sleeping contemplation occurs every evening around 22:00.
In such an intense environment, where you have no concerns but to directly experience yourself, you will move through a tremendous amount of “stuff.” Mental, emotional, or physical barriers can come up. This is to be expected. Consider it part of the process and keep your intent on directly experiencing who you are no matter what comes up or gets in the way.
The purpose of this workshop is to have an enlightenment experience, which is to say, to directly and authentically experience the true nature of Being. Even if this doesn’t occur at this time, however, your efforts can have a lasting effect on your life and wellbeing.
