SELF-INQUIRY
AND MEDITATION RETREAT ON VANCOUVER ISLAND!
July 2 to 13, 2027
For 12 days, experience a meditation and self-inquiry immersion on the glorious south coast of Vancouver Island with Padma. This will be a very special experience filled with daily dialogues of self-Inquiry, meditations, hatha yoga, and personal philosophy discussions.
The second limb of classical Kriya Yoga is Self-Inquiry. In Sanskrit this Self-Inquiry is known as “SwaDhyaya." The inquirer is called a“Jigyasu.” For 25 years, Padma has lead groups and individuals into deeper awareness of who we are, what identity, is and how we find freedom from the suffering of mind and ego.
In this retreat, you'll be guided each day in the time-tested foundational practices of yoga, breathwork and mantra, and also be taken to the sublime and powerful space of self-awareness of who you are, who is present and how always to stay alert and joyful.
Padma will host and guide you in meditations throughout the 12 days. She will facilitate group discussions and private explorations about the truth and nature of Self.
The main intent of her teachings and presence is, and has always been, the direct knowledge and immediate experience of the true Self.
We'll stay at the gorgeous Krishnamurti Education Center of Canada, in Metchosin on Vancouver Island, BC. These exquisitely lovely, quiet, seaside, 32-acre grounds will allow you ample time and space for your own self-inquiry and reflections. You'll have an inspiring and yet deeply restful, direct experience of the Self you are.
Padma will offer the daily morning and evening sessions.
Each afternoon as well, you will have the chance to meet altogether with a facilitator at the Krishnamurti Center. Next July we have the good fortune of having Mukesh join us during this retreat. He will host group meetings of self-inquiry in a Krishnamurti style. This will be a wonderful collaboration of the guidance of Padma, with the open inquiry of the Krishnamurti facilitator.
Rooms are limited at this retreat center. When all rooms are booked, then a Wait List will be started.
