In this intimate retreat (limited to 25 participants), we’ll explore the paradoxical dance of being nobody and somebody, nothing and everything. Though we may know, and even deeply experience, the emptiness of personal self, we’re constantly being called upon to move in the world in the guise of being someone, with our unique personality and preferences. In each moment, we are the mysterious interface or edge where emptiness constantly bursts into form. How do we let go and allow the dance to move through us, rather than holding on and trying to direct the flow? This will be a silent retreat with several talks and guided meditations daily, ample time for dialogue, and an opportunity to meet with Stephan individually.
