What you seek... is seeking You

 

Retreats are a profound invitation that offer a way to connect to the methods and message of Absolute-realization.

They are a chance to immerse yourself completely in the energy field of spiritual truth.

These retreats blend the practical application of ancient tried-and-tested methods with the more subtle workings of direct pointing, investigation, contemplation and dialogues, which fall in alignment with the “direct path” approach to lasting peace and freedom.

Questions & Answers

What is Absolute Self Realization?

When we go through a spiritual awakening we discover that we are "more" than the personal self... the quest that follows is the desire to discover the "Higher Self". This retreat is aimed at giving you a direct experience of this Self. This is absolute Self Realization.

What are the consequences of this Absolute Self Realization?

You will go through life more connected to your "Higher Self" or "True Self"... which means living less from the head and more from the heart. This brings more inner peace, peace, liberation and a life in flow.

Is it allowed to speak?

During this Retreat everyone is requested not to speak... this is to provide the most optimal experience, realizations and breakthroughs for all participants. Fortunately, there are moments for questions, discussion and reflection during the meetings where Christopher is present.

Is it possible to pay in installments?

This is no problem, just send me a message and we'll arrange what works for you.

What does "The Direct Path" mean?

In spirituality there are many means for self-realization, however, these means often go through a detour through a lot of theoretical knowledge or years of meditation. Self-realization, however, can only arise in the NOW, through direct self-inquiry. This retreat offers the direct path.

What is the role of Christopher Jai Smith?

Christopher is an experienced and advanced consciousness in both his human and non-human form. He is self realized or what they also call "enlightened". His energy field and human knowledge have a magnetic pull to support others in the process of self-realization.

What makes this retreat different?

This retreat is not aimed at offering people relaxation or a temporary break from their busy lifestyle. This retreat is with the intention of providing a transformative experience that will have cosmic effects.

What happens when I have overwhelming emotions / thoughts?

During this retreat there are people present (Mike, Ray) who provide a safe space and support when you don't know what to do with emotions / thoughts that come up.

Why would I join this retreat?

Absolute freedom from the personal Ego itself is a deep desire that you have.
