“This was my first time doing True Awakening -True Being I and found the experience to be unlike any I have ever had. I know that this experience will change my life in ways that are obvious now and in ways that I have yet to discover” Brenda McMorrow - Singer/Songwriter, Guelph, Ontario |

“I took my first True Awakening in the early 80s, over 20 years ago and I am still reaping the rewards from that experience. I could not be the person I am today without it.

True Awakening - True Being |
An Enlightenment Intensive & Meditation Retreat
Awaken To Your True Nature and Bring the Magnificience and Expansiveness of Your Authentic Prescence into Your Daily Life
How is it possible to live your life if you don’t know what it is you are living? These are crucial questions. It is a momentous accomplishment for you to awaken to the true essence of yourself, life and others. In the deepest core of your being it fulfills the purpose of your life. Only when you’ve had this experience do you realize its importance and understand, as the ancient Zen master Dogen once said, that “To have lived your life and not to have realized your true nature is to have lived in vain!” It is so valuable that it is worth any effort to gain it. Yet even though it is life changing and may take a lifetime to achieve it (in traditional methods), it is at any age, the real beginning of your true life. Herein lays a problem. Once you realize your authentic self, the project of living this self (actualizing it) begins and unless the appropriate method, after awakening is cultivated, it can fade amidst the business and stress in your life. True Source solves this problem by bringing together two powerful complementary retreats: True Awakening - True Being.True Awakening is an accelerated process of transformation that brings you to the profound pinnacle of self-actualization – The direct consciousness of the True Nature of Self and Life! The East West approachOver 5 days, using a format inspired by Zen-style contemplation on a key question such as; “who am I?” combined with a paired communication structure drawn from relational psychology – the Dyad technique - you deeply inquire into the nature of self. The method is 50 to 100 times faster than traditional meditation techniques at producing what Abraham Maslow calls “Unitive consciousness” or “Self-transcendence”. Then for the next 2 days you will settle into the True Being silent meditation retreat. This will give you an opportunity to gently embody your experience of the previous 5 days and expand into further insights and awareness. You will learn the 3 essential techniques of meditation distilled from ancient practices and placed in a western context without the dogma or jargon of religious belief. Although, many contemplative practices teach an avoidance of the mind, leading to disassociation from your emotions, you will learn a healthier practice of integrating persistent thoughts and feelings resulting in greater wholeness and calm.
By the end of the retreat you will have settled into a simple daily practice well grounded in your Awakening experience fully able to sustain and present your true self in life. In addition to the paired inquiry exercises – the Dyad technique - some of the features of True Awakening -True Being Retreat are:
After Awakening participants commonly report feeling:
After Awakening participants commonly report having greater capacity to:
The combination of these two retreats will give you an opportunity to achieve what normally takes years to achieve through traditional meditation systems. Awakening to your authentic Self and the stabilization of that experience so that you live from that “steady state” of enlightenment, is truly one of the most important transforming events of your life.
