3-DAY ENLIGHTENMENT INTENSIVE
Mastered by Shivam O'Brien, assisted by Anthony Johnston.
  
These Enlightenment Intensives are aimed at breaking through to a profound state of awareness often called "enlightenment." There are many more correct, traditional and poetic ways of referring to this most precious and essential understanding. This naturally occurring state is read and talked about, usually, as if it lives at the end of a mystical rainbow and will never happen. That is a shame - it is the key to life and happiness and can be experienced by anyone who takes two to three days to look deeply within, earnestly and honestly with complete attention. You need skilful support to do this. Going it alone is life wastingly slow.

On Enlightenment Intensives "ordinary" people achieve the most profound states of consciousness. These states are not the property of monks or saints or robed lamas or holy men of the east or west. They are completely natural - but easily lost to view - unless you are deeply questioning, observing and open. On EIs you are carefully guide in a simple technique of enquiry that produces astonishing, deeply satisfying, life changing results in days.

These ecstatic, primordial experiences go to the core of life's deepest issues. Authentic prescence satisfies - totally - where nothing else does. These experiencs are life itself - without them there is always some sense of failure, no matter how much money, praise, fame or love you receive.

"Sceptical of the proclaimed results, I packed my bags with an open mind heading for the country manor in deepest Wales. What followed a thoroughly warm recption was 3 days of the most advanced personal development I have EVER attended. Having been involved with the enlightenment path and personal development for over 20 years, the 3 day claim seemed beyond belief. Well let me tell you this course delivers."
Nick Lewis,NLP trainer provider


The venues are beautiful, secluded and ideally suited to this form of retreat, and consist of:
  • A 15th century Welsh farmhouse, which is our regular UK venue. Ideally placed in secluded country side and cosy in all seasons.
  • Summer Intensives in the UK are sometimes accommodated in palatial Mongolian yurts pitched at our mountain retreat. If you do not like camping (even in luxury!) book into one of our Intensives at the country house.
  • In May 2010, we are also running an EI at the Wild Heart site in Sussex, which will be in Mongolian Yurts.
  • In January 2010, we held an EI at the holy mountain of Arunachala in India!
Intensives start on the evening of the first day shown on the schedule. You should aim to get there by 7:30. pm. There is a welcoming meal and tea. The Intensive will formally start at 9.30.pm

Intensives finish 10:30 pm on the last day shown. We recommend that you do not rush off but take up our welcome to stay the night and leave slowly after breakfast the following day. There is a short talk on the Monday morning. Finish by 10:30 am. If possible do not schedule too busy a time immediately afterwards – there is a delicious period of profound reflection to enjoy.

Shivam O'Brien and Anthony Johnston have both worked with this and related techniques and bought them together into their own lives, teaching and working over nearly twenty years. Shivam is one of the most experienced masters of this format, who trained with Jake Chapman in 1988 after completing long intensives.

It is truth that sets you free, not your effort to be free..." - Krishnamurti
