Summary

Meditation & Self-Inquiry March 27–29 "The most important question you can ever ask yourself is, 'Who am I?' Until this question is answered through direct experience, you will always hunger for the answer." – John David – Experience a unique weekend of self-inquiry at Open Sky House near Cologne. This retreat offers you a deep insight into the practice of self-inquiry, inspired by the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. The days begin with morning yoga and meditation, followed by exercises in which you learn the practice of self-inquiry and gain a deep understanding of yourself and the nature of life. This powerful, millennia-old tool helps you to question the illusory "I" – the cause of all our problems – and to penetrate to the core of your being, where you will find inner peace, love, and clarity.

You can then apply the practice of self-inquiry in your everyday life. It supports you in detaching yourself from conditioning and connecting deeply with your self. The weekend also includes group meditations, mantra chanting with live music, heart dance, reflection rounds, and a film about the teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi. Arrival: Friday 6 p.m.
Start: Friday 7 p.m. End: Sunday 6 p.m. (those who wish can stay for dinner) Prices: €280 incl. accommodation in a shared room and vegetarian meals €220 discount €190 students under 27 years of age Single rooms available at an additional cost.
