O seeker,
These thoughts have such power over you.
From nothing you become sad.
From nothing you become happy.
You are burning in the flames but I will not let you out until you are fully baked,
fully wise and fully yourself.

Open your heart to your true being
Embodiment of wisdomWhen the mind is still and the heart is open, our dentification with habituated egoic patterns fades away as our response to whatever is happening becomes very non-reactive, yet truly more responsive and real. Irrespective of the retreat duration, you will:
Responsive and engaging
In some retreats there is an emphasis on using the wisdom of the Enneagram to enable participants to understand the patterns that grip and distort experience. With applied awareness you learn to apprehend and transcend your patterns leading to freedom and ease. At other retreats there may simply be the use of very organic, non-definitive methods that enable you to naturally release over-identification with persistent thoughts, beliefs, feelings and patterns. Either way, there is an ever-deepening appreciation of loving-kindness for yourself and others co-joined with blissful inner stillness and non-reactivity, resulting in a clarity of mind often sought, rarely lived.

What participants said about the November 27-28, 2010 retreat: "The
Liberating Joy Retreat has gifted me with the rare
opportunity to experience what it is to be 'fully
present'. Penny offered a fertile space in which I could
explore inner stillness and become reacquainted with my true
nature ... Peace. The weekend was both comfortable but challenging and
allowed me to learn and share with like minded people, as I got to know
my real SELF a lot better! Thank you with loving kindness" ~ Eryka Sklivas, Melbourne "Thank
you for your beautiful workshop gift. You (Penny) created a gentle and
safe space for everyone to connect with whatever mind thoughts are
holding them back. You were tuned in, aware, respectful and
illuminating. It was a joy and privilege to be a recipient of and
witness to your teaching. I am feeling soft and present. And I had a
great night’s sleep. I loved sharing this with you. Thank you again." ~ Fay Goodchild, Melbourne |
Experience new levels of mindfulness, immediacy and presence as you immerse in awareness, stillness and joyful open heartedness. Replace any kind of struggle with who or how you are, with deep resting in your true nature, which is beyond conditioning, personality, or preference.
Each retreat is slightly different as Penny responds to every group according to where they are. She draws on two decades of teaching experience to spontaneously determine which exercises, teaching, amount of activity or silence is appropriate.
