Details

Simran Non-Duality Retreat The word "Simran" means - To stay in remembrance of the highest truth, while remaining in action. Most of the time, we live in a state that feels ordinary, yet it is far from natural. From an early age, we are taught to take ourselves to be separate individuals, disconnected from the whole. This fundamental misunderstanding shapes our experience, leading to inner conflict, tension, and a sense of incompleteness. Over time, this unnatural state distorts not only our personal well-being but also our relationships with others and the world around us. In this retreat, we will explore the direct recognition of non-duality—the simple, undeniable reality that has always been present. This recognition is not a philosophical idea but a profound shift in perspective that, in turn, allows the body and mind to return to their natural state of openness, ease, and clarity. Without the illusion of separation, life unfolds effortlessly, and a deep harmony with existence is restored. Many of the qualities we spend our lives striving for—personal growth, a sense of belonging, inner stability, resilience, and even physical well-being—are actually natural expressions of our true state. Young children embody this effortlessly before they form an identity based on separation. In the absence of struggle, growth happens organically. A deep trust in life, a sense of awe, and gratitude, and an open-hearted connection with the world are not things to be attained but simply uncovered. Through various methods and exercises, we will move beyond conceptual understanding and into the direct experience of the underlying essence. This retreat is for anyone drawn to the truth—whether you are new to this exploration or have been on the path for years. No previous experience is needed, only a genuine willingness to see beyond our own illusions and beliefs. The lush, simple and peaceful nature at the Narumi Center will support you during this journey of remembrance.

The food at the centre is mainly plant-based, healthy and very tasty. Navid, our main non-duality teacher, has designed the menus and customised them to nourish and support the participants in their journey during the retreat. The food is therefore greatly inspired by Indian, Persian and Thai tastes.

Sessions to expect: - Clarity Meditation - Self-Inquiry - Non-Duality Exploration - Eye Gazing - Breathwork - Yoga - Recognizing Self in Action - Recognizing Self in Triggers - Recognizing Self in Movement and Physical Effort - Recognizing Self in Relationships - Trust and Flow
