WHAT IS AN ENLIGHTMENT INTENSIVE RETREAT?

        It is a three day (or longer) and night retreat in a country setting, surrounded by nature for complete escape from day to day relative life. It is structured for emotional safety and the silent inner contemplation of the Truth using the question Who am I or the other enlightenment questions. This is an opportunity for participants to experience the same state of Enlightenment as the Buddha attained yet at varying degrees of enlightenment. Participants are supported and guided through the many stages of Enlightenment work using the enlightenment technique cutting through the barriers to Enlightenment. Sitting, walking, and working meditation as well as rest and healthy meals are part of the monastic schedule. The work is challenging and rewarding.      
        Over the past 40 years, Enlightenment intensives have supported 100,000s of people around the world to open to the truth of to who they are. They are dedicated to helping people reach enlightenment in just a few days! The effects of the enlightenment retreat can continue progressing when the participant decides to walk the path of enlightenment lifestyle practices towards the steady state practicing the post enlightenment workin the areas of Self Practice, Therapy services, Community support and enlightenment work.                                                                 With a regular 2 or more retreats a year, a person can make progress on the ten stages to enlightenment similar to the traditional Zen Buddhists.  If you are new to spiritual growth work, see the benefits for new participants.  If you already have a practice and do spiritual growth work, see how EI’s can benefit people with a spiritual practice.  For an understanding of how Enlightenment Intensives were first created, see the history of Enlightenment Intensive.
