YOSSUM Oneness Awakening Retreat
June 2 - 6, 2011
Andalucia, Spain

In this retreat we will go explore ways to deepen the connection to ourselves and to the divine within us. We will be creating a safe container to BE, the practice of meditation and yoga will support the Oneness Awakening Course process. The Oneness Awakening Course is certified by the Oneness University in India.

In the Oneness Awakening Course, participants receive a series of teachings, are taken through personal processes, and learn powerful and ancient forms of prayer and meditation. It is the Deeksha, however, that is necessary to bring these revelations alive in the personal experience of participants.

The main tool we use to help with spiritual growth is what we call “Deeksha” (also known as the Oneness Blessing). Deeksha is an ancient word derived from the Sanskrit language that refers to a “benediction” or a “gift”, or having to do with the notion of “transfer”—in short, the receipt of a gift from the Divine, from God, from the Higher Self, which fuels the awakening process. Read more about Deekshas below.

The complete Oneness Awakening Course in integrated in this retreat. We will gently weave the Oneness process in our days with teachings, yoga, meditation and time for contemplation and experiential processes. There is no dogma or religion attached to this process. It is a personal reconnection with our own journey, you are not expected to be part of any belief system. Thousands of people from all walks of life from all over the world experience the Oneness Awakening course without any conflict.

We will yoga and meditation in a supportive process of personal growth. Expect to feel an openness of your heart, body and mind, a closeness to the Essence of your Being and a deep level of relaxation with yourself and others.

This Retreat will take place at Rancho del Ingles, a beautiful retreat center in Andalucia, Southern Spain. Rancho del Ingles is a 15 mins drive away from Malaga International Airport. Malaga Airport is an easy destination from all the major cities in Europe.

Pratice of Silence
Silence is powerful. Silence raises meditation, yoga asana practice and awareness to an entirely different level. Kali will carefully prepare the group for a short period of Silence during this retreat —typically 24 hours. Silence is a time extremely valued by our participants.

Deeksha

Deeksha is the transfer of a physical energy, which affects a neurobiological shift, thereby initiating a process where the Divine guides the recipient on an individual journey into awakening into Oneness. Deeksha creates a shift in the brain, deactivating the energy in certain areas of the brain while increasing energy in others, which results in a diminishing of the feeling we all have of separation. As other areas of the brain are activated, we find ourselves able to truly experience reality, through the senses—to actually taste a banana, to see our spouse for how he or she is, to hear the sound of our child crying. A whole new world opens to us where we are in direct contact with reality, as it is, without being carried away by the never ending chatter of the mind, its evaluations and interpretations.

It is an ancient understanding that higher states of consciousness of an awakened being can actually be transferred to another, through a specific initiatory process. We in Oneness utilize this ancient understanding by way of the Deekshas to help you grow and heal. These states are transferred to participants, through the Deekshas, who are able to then have a direct and personal experience of these higher qualities of love, unity, joy, silence, and Oneness.
