The historical role of our great spiritual traditions, whether theistic or non-theistic, has been to challenge authority, question prevailing opinions, pursue truth, advocate for the voiceless, forgive the unforgiven, and persuade through love rather than force.<\/p>\n

<\/span>We invite you to a retreat on radical love. Radical not as a mere synonym but as an antonym to the extremisms polarizing contemporary societies. Radical as in returning to our roots (radix) and sources, seeking a love that is able to turn the other cheek, to create space for and prioritize the well-being of the other, and offer a path to personal healing and liberation. The type of love that the Buddha and Mahaprajapati, Mary and Jesus, Socrates and Hypatia, and Esther and Jeremiah pursued unwaveringly. <\/p>\n

<\/span>This retreat will be facilitated by four esteemed teachers from diverse spiritual backgrounds. Together, we will investigate the profound teachings of love as espoused by our traditions: transcendent, unconditional, and a catalyst for transformation. We envision this space as a collaborative and inclusive environment, where we can engage in open dialogue, critically examine the teachings, and explore their practical implications. Our aim is to listen, question, and meditate, without reducing the other to one\u2019s own understanding, and feel deeply in a suitably safe space to do so. <\/p>\n

<\/span>Is it realistic to love all living beings without exception unconditionally, especially our enemy? Is it possible, desirable, or even healthy to prioritize others over oneself? Is love truly sufficient unto itself? What does love even mean, and how do we move beyond mere words in order to respond to the urgent plight of the world around us? <\/p>\n

<\/span>The retreat will consist of four daily tracks, led by the retreat leaders, engaging in spiritual practices of the different traditions. In the evenings we will have space for both music and exchange of our experiences. <\/p>\n

<\/span>We invite you to embark with us on a journey beyond the confines of our habitual understandings and comfort zone. Let us venture into the divine realm of shared experience that ignites our conscience and brings a sense of stillness to our hearts while fortifying our ideals. We propose engaging in discussions, reflections, storytelling, meditation, spiritual music, culinary delights, and moments of laughter amidst the picturesque landscapes of one of France\u2019s most renowned countryside. <\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Venerable Losang Gendun <\/b>is a senior Dutch Bhikshu with nearly four decades of dedicated Buddhist practice, including 18 years as a monastic in the Tibetan tradition. He studied Buddhist philosophy for ten years in Nalanda Monastery and India, and spent over four years in retreat, training in Tibetan sutra and tantra, as well as in the Burmese Theravada Forest Tradition. He embodies a profound secret of deep spiritual practice: the deeper you delve, the more traditional language and ancient concepts awaken to new and vibrant meanings. This teacher has a unique talent for connecting the heart and mind while reinterpreting the relevance of ancient Buddhist teachings for the urgent issues of today. In his international courses and lectures, he inspires his audience with his wisdom and humor, finding words and examples that touch the core challenges of what it means to be human. In 2023, he founded The Buddha Project, a visionary initiative aimed at offering long-term guidance to Buddhist meditators, engaging in scientific research, promoting artistic endeavours, and fostering inter-contemplative social engagement, encouraging a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of all life. <\/span><\/p>\n

Professor Donata Schoeller <\/strong>
is a philosopher, who, in good Socratic fashion, takes philosophy from its ivory tower back to the ground of lived experience, directing young and also experienced thinkers to the embedded, embodied, and felt dimensions of meaning through the innovative methods of Focusing and Thinking at the Edge. Her expertise on working with humility, ambiguity, complexity, and the role of listening in critical thought could not be timelier, considering our global communication crisis. A Research Professor at the University of Iceland and prolific author, she leads various international research projects and a European training program called \u201cEmbodied Critical Thinking and Understanding.\u201d A disciple of Meister Eckhart, she understands divine love as a potential within everybody, in need of realization through a process of birth. <\/p>\n

Rabbi Marianne <\/strong>will introduce you to the Jewish practice of Mussar. While literally meaning \u201ccorrection\u201d, \u201cinstruction,\u201d or even \u201cethics\u201d, it refers to a \u201cway of life\u201d through bringing a spiritual perspective to our life of worldly pursuits and a discipline for its transformation.

Le Mussar est une pratique spirituelle et \u00e9thique qui aide \u00e0 d\u00e9velopper et affiner des qualit\u00e9s humaines comme la patience, l’humilit\u00e9 ou la g\u00e9n\u00e9rosit\u00e9. Il offre des outils pour mieux comprendre notre caract\u00e8re et agir de mani\u00e8re plus consciente et vertueuse dans la vie quotidienne. Cette discipline vise \u00e0 transformer notre int\u00e9rieur pour nous aider \u00e0 devenir des \u00eatres humains meilleurs, tout en restant ancr\u00e9s dans la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 ordinaire.
<\/span>
According to the Jewish tradition, in the beginning there was only God: \u201cShema Yisraeel, Adonaj Eloheenoe, Adonaj Echad: The Lord is our God, the Lord is One.\u201d Overflowing with love, God created the world and man in it, male and female, to share that love. At the same time, it also brought duality: light and darkness, water and land, heat and cold, good and evil.
<\/span>
According to the mystical teachings in Judaism, the goal of humanity is to return to that original oneness, by the seemingly impossible task of following the Lord\u2019s 613 mitzvot (commandments), progressing one choice at a time. Rabbi Bachya ibn Pakuda wrote to encourage us: \u201cI know that many good ideas were rejected out of fear, and that fear does much harm, but I say to you, be careful but not too careful. I am aware that if everyone who ever wanted to do something good or instruct others in the path of righteousness kept quiet until he himself had succeeded in achieving all that he had set himself as his goal, nothing would have been done or said since the days of the prophets.\u201d
<\/span>
Bishop Malkhaz <\/strong>invites you to four distinct practices of the Georgian Baptist tradition. Practicing the Art of Reading Sacred Scriptures will explore how to approach and interpret sacred texts from the Christian tradition. Avoiding harmful literalism, we will engage in a sacred reading of these dynamic and living words that require a thoughtful and creative approach to find meaning for our time and enjoy discussions on their cultural, historical, and symbolic contexts.
<\/span>
The Meditative Walk of the Way of the Cross will reflect on Jesus\u2019 journey as an allegory of today\u2019s challenges, such as poverty, inequality, conflict, and environmental degradation, to find in the Resurrection themes of hope, renewal, inner peace, and the possibility of reconciliation.
<\/span>
If the Practice of the Cosmic Eucharist is an invitation to people from all walks of life to share in the sacrament of the divine human family, celebrating our connection to each other and to the universe, the Celebration of Creation is an expression of gratitude to God for the beauty and abundance of creation, acknowledging the gifts of nature and reflecting on the ways in which creation sustains us.
<\/span>
Venerable Gendun<\/strong> is our wayfarer on a meditative journey to touch your inner buddhanature. In the words of the great Indian Buddhist master Shantideva: \u201cChildren work only for their own end, while Buddhas work solely for the welfare of others.\u201d
<\/span>
According to the Buddha, the price of our mind\u2019s inclination to constant rumination is a profound alienation from our sources, both inward and outward. Moreover, it dissolves our lives into a kind of second-hand existence in which our precious time trickles away ever faster, depriving us of the taste and peace of the present.
<\/span>
The Buddhist practice of lojong, or mind training, aims to heal this estrangement and nourish those qualities of the heart that restore our relationship with the web of life. Understanding all living beings to be the co-creators of their world and each other, Mahayana Buddhists honor them as their mothers and seek the perfection of Buddhahood to cherish and care for them.
<\/span>
We will practice the stillness of letting go, the intimacy of equanimity, the rapture of sympathetic joy, the surrender of unconditional love and empowerment through boundless care, with a touch of tantric imagination of being a Buddha.
<\/span>
Professor Donata<\/strong> will be our guide in the practice of Thinking-at-the-Edge. TAE, for short, has been developed at the University of Chicago by Eugene Gendlin, Mary Hendricks, Kyle Nelson, and others. It is a main component of a current European Erasmus training program called Embodied Critical Thinking and Understanding, involving seven universities.
<\/span>
TAE will support us in listening to ourselves and others while exploring deep intuitions related to our spiritual journey, and examining concepts of faith that are important to us. This practice enhances the focus on “edges” of inspiration, frustration, or knowledge for which we struggle to find words easily, not because these \u201eedges” are marginal, but because they feel significant and vibrant. The practice is contemplative, inviting us to dwell on what we bring along, not dismissing our feelings and experiences for lack of appropriate language, and valuing the paradoxes and difficulties of human experience as a fertile ground for insights.
<\/span>
Through this practice, we will reflect on meaningful moments of our daily retreat-journey, how our habits of thinking and feeling might be affected, and how important concepts might evolve in meaning. <\/span><\/p>\n

And, of course, we will also explore our own understanding of the enduring challenge and joy of love. <\/span> <\/p>\n
