World Summit 2010 Retreat Day

Theme: Inspiration

Thursday, September 23, 2010

7:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Plan to arrive to the IVOH World Summit one day early to experience a retreat day at the Brahma Kumaris learning and retreat center, Peace Village. Because Peace Village is nestled in the Catskill Mountains with beautiful landscapes and plenty of fresh air it is a great place for renewal and rest. 

Apart from the natural beauty of Peace Village the two intentions we hold for the retreat are: inspirational thoughts and silent reflective time. These are magnified by the fresh food prepared with love from a wholly volunteer staff and the amazing company of like-minded people. In this setting it is possible to prepare ourselves in such a way that we are able to take maximum benefit from what life has to offer us.

The inspirational thoughts help us to realize the full potential of our hopes and dreams. The power and beauty of spending time in silence and reflection helps us to serve others and ourselves. Experience spiritual happiness and feel nurtured like a fetus is nurtured by its' mother.

By coming into a collective, we free our hearts from sorrow and experience the feeling of being one. In this gathering there is no need to ask for anything but to receive automatically whatever one needs. This time of renewal together will help us stay safe in times of chaos and free ourselves from all the limits that we have imposed on our hearts.

We will begin this lovely day with a sunrise meditation, some tai chi and a delicious breakfast prepared with the magic ingredient of love. There will be an experiential class, "Refreshing our Consciousness," which will guide each individual through meditative exercises to enable them to touch the often illusive stillness and beauty of the mind. Each person will leave the class with new tools for refreshing their consciousness in a stressful environment. Following this, there will be a reflective journaling session and yes...another delicious meal cooked with pure love.

The afternoon is open for a walk in the woods, a long awaited nap, and/or a cup of tea. We'll gather in the evening for an enlightening talk on "Building our Mental Immune System" and will learn the art of happiness. Then we will end the retreat with a meditation and celebrate a day well spent as we watch the sun set over the Catskill Mountains.
