A Journey Into The Real You
The Enlightenment Intensive is a powerful retreat experience designed to take you into a direct experience of your true nature.
Through persistent vigilance using the dyad technique, your partner gives you the instruction: “Tell me who you are.”
As you release false beliefs, emotional baggage, fears, and conditioned identity, awareness sharpens and the Real YOU begins to emerge.
This inquiry follows four essential steps:
1. Get a sense of yourself.
2. Intend to directly experience yourself.
3. Remain open to whatever arises.
4. Communicate exactly what arises
without deleting or adding anything.
