Doorways To the Deep
With Balajit and Singhashri
May 8 - 15, 2026
If we dive deep enough into the sea, we reach a depth where the body is no longer buoyant enough to float nor heavy enough to sink. We remain suspended, hanging in deep blue space, able to move in any direction without the least bit of friction.
This place is called the doorway to the deep and it promises to open us to our true nature, our deepest potential when freed from afflictive mental states that bind us to suffering, by either taking us back to the surface or pulling us under. From this place we discover a more creative response to life, full of awareness, love and transformation.
This retreat is suitable for those who have a regular meditation practice and who regularly attend retreats. You will also need to be comfortable with extended periods of sitting meditation and periods spent in silence.
