The vibrating reality as it unfolds.A "shadow walk" in this case is the way through individual negative conditioning often layered on top of the preconceived beliefs we carry, the dark spaces where thoughts can run your life usually in an unconscious way.Retreat here is an honouring of the traditions, techniques, and practices of The Enlightenment Intensive.This container of women is specifically created to allow for safety. And bravery. This is a brave space where a practitioner can open to their own authenticity in a deep way allow for the actual Truth of reality to come forth.Be received just as you are and nurtured, again and again, back to the present moment and the gifts of mindful, authentic communication.By communicating mindfully what is arriving moment to moment all that is not true can fall away making more spacious and present what is actually true. By opening to the still point of absolute presence again and again and again, every moment across retreat we create an anchor between your day-to-day experiences of humanity and conscious awareness. Freedom to live just as you are and return from the illusions, fantasies, and punitive nature of "the mind" back to the love and surrender of reality. This is where our only point of power and exists - in the present moment.We will:•Dyad - receiving the instruction

This is a traditional Enlightenment Intensive; we hold to the original traditions, teachings  integrity of this very specific Work. There will be a very safe and sacred container held for the participants to dive into the Absolute Truth of who and what they are.  
In form, the Enlightenment Intensive (EI) is a container, a vessel, a safe and sacred space. There are agreements we all make... to follow rules, a schedule, and a common aim: the truth. This is a silent retreat. Except for communicating to the listening partners in the dyads, participants do not speak to each other. But the staff are always available to talk to. We are formally trained and deeply devoted to supporting you through your struggles and in the direction of your truth and the Truth Itself. We are there for you 24/7, no-matter-what.
Participants begin to sense this safety, this sacred space created. They start to let down their guard, to speak their mind and pour their heart out... to release what weighs them down. They simply tell the truth. Though it is not therapy, it is highly therapeutic. At some point, often about half way through the intensive, the sincere and hard-working participant will put all their story behind them, and in the face of fear or whatever else arises, they dig into to this thing right here and now: reality itself. Things often start to get quite interesting at this point. Communicating one rising experience after another, letting nothing (including nothing) stop them from the business at hand, this participant stays steadily poised in pure self-awareness... noticing what's true, communicating that, noticing... communicating... all the while opening and intending to Directly Experience the Absolute Truth.
In essence, the EI is a journey... an adventurous, exciting, challenging, and wonderfully rewarding journey within. We are all in it together, set out for this heralded realm called Truth. And yet, the journey is our very own.
There is no doctrine or teaching to believe in. The only thing taught is a technique that points the participant directly at the truth of who or what they are, and also how to get through the barriers along the way... because in that process - that pursuit - beliefs, baggage, and the entire array programming picked up throughout our lives is confronted. It is literally "run into" as a result of going directly for the truth of you. It's in the way, like a fallen timber across a path. It is a barrier between who and what you believe yourself to be, and Who and What You really Are. By inquiring deep into what it is, allowing it to surface and be known to us, and expressing it to another so they too know what it's like for you, we get through it, overcome it, even dissolve it. Time and again, we express what we become aware of to another, in a dyad.
