The quest for Who is in? and Who am I? is as old as humanity. These questions are the core questions of every human being – no matter if man or woman, young or old, stupid or clever, seeker or businessman.
All other questions used in the Awareness Intensive Retreat are aspects of these 2 master key questions – such as: What is life, love, freedom, consciousness, another, sexuality, truth, relaxation? – to name a few.
No intellectual answer will help. You need to go into these questions and experience them directly. Relaxation, trust, love, openness for oneself and others will grow simultaneously with understanding.
In the Awareness Intensive Retreat, the ancient Zen technique of facing the wall in silence is combined with the modern technique of structured communication facing a partner. Opening yourself in the presence of another person supports the incentive for the inquiry into who you truly are.

Apart from the obvious benefits of being in the moment, there are many others hidden in this process such as:
- learning to listen
- learning to see and feel yourself and others
- experiencing the uniqueness and the ways of Being and learn to give space to yourself and others
- getting to know and speak your truth independently of the image you carry
- experiencing relaxation and joy which manifest as you connect with yourself.
