Can we cultivate a completely new mind rather than a conditioned one?

Is the mind sensitive to the movements of its own thinking & emotions, or blindly dictated by them?

Is there an active and spontaneous learning about life as it transpires? Or are we locked into responding with - and endlessly repeating - what we already know?

Held in a variety of beautiful places worldwide, these study retreats allow a while away from the grip of everyday life & relationship: a favorable atmosphere for deeper questioning & affectionate, sensitive inquiry between friends.

"In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself."

J.Krishnamurti
