Retreat with Andrew Cohen begins 14th January 2022 No images? Click here 14th-23rd January 2022Discover a spiritual posture that allows you to meet and embrace the immense challenges that confront us all... Dear Friend, Are you, like many of us, feeling a sense of enormous overwhelm? Are you weighed down or crushed by a feeling of existential dread? Does your cognitive or emotional bandwidth seem strangely limited? You are not alone! Right now we are facing what many thought leaders have termed the “metacrisis”, but what exactly is the metacrisis? Philosopher Jonathan Rowson defines it as: “...the underlying crisis driving a multitude of crises, not just ecological collapse but a range of governance and security issues, alongside global economic instability and inequality within countries, a steep rise in mental health problems and a decline in social trust... a civilisation-level wicked problem.” This “underlying crisis” represents an existential challenge to our whole way of being human, and in turn our whole way of dealing with reality – a level of pressure on our emotional, psychological and physical systems that is unprecedented. Is it possible to discover a posture that can help us to embrace what seems an impossibly vast problem for any one of us individually? Exploding beyond time, beyond the relative dimension, lies a mysterious absolute domain that is the ultimate wellspring of the human spirit – a deep source of metaphysical strength that allows us to face even the greatest adversity. Over two weekends, and four intensive days of meditation and practice, Andrew Cohen will invite us to discover this for ourselves. Together we will find and realize the ultimate spiritual posture – an attitude and perspective that allows us to accept the immense scale of the issues that confront us. Andrew will show how it is possible to embrace the unfathomable scale of what we face as a species, moving beyond nihilism, and bringing strength and positivity into the world in such a way that we can inspire others to do the same.
