When you realize yourself as completely empty and devoid of all form...this is wisdom
When you realize yourself as the fullness of love overflowing itself without object...this is bliss,
And when you are aware of yourself incarnate in the appearance of form...this is leela.
Eli Jaxon-Bear

Silent Retreat with Gangaji and Eli is a time to discover the truth of one’s being and to deepen in that realization. Through gathering together for an extended period, a rare and profound support is experienced for the direct recognition of eternal peace, always present as the core of one’s own heart.
It is a safe space in which to tell the truth about what really matters, what you truly want, and to expose the lie of every imagined obstacle to true happiness. It is a time of deep rest, of letting the psyche unwind, a time to withdraw from your usual life activities, and to let yourself sink into the vast simplicity of being.
You are encouraged to keep a practical level of silence between sessions – refraining from telling our stories and reinforcing our mental addictions. As we support each other in silence there is an immediate deepening into the vast expanse of our silent nature. This is the ground for true realization.

The great gift of the Enneagram is that it exquisitely describes who you are not. It shows the veiling of true consciousness by habits of egoic identification. When these habits of mind are revealed, there is a clear choice to end the false identification and realize your true nature. ~ Eli.
The Advanced Enneagram Retreat is for those who already are familiar with their fixation and are ready to go deeper. If you are called to true liberation in this life-time, the enneagram can be a wisdom mirror to see where you may still be trapped.
