A THREE-DAY RETREAT: I Am Here To Awaken A Bright New
Age Of Global Humankind
I Am Looking for men and women who will live free of
every kind of seeking, attendant only to the consciousness
of universal prior unity, who will constantly devote themselves
to the responsible cooperative management of individual
and collective human life in the Indivisible Form and
Logic of Reality Itself, rather than the egoic and separative
form and 'difference'-bound logic of egoity and illusion.
Such men and women are the unexploitable human presence
of Reality Itself.
"I Am Here to Awaken A Bright New Age of
Global Humankind" Not-Two

The
retreat will be held at the European Danda, our Spiritually-Empowered
Center in the south of the Netherlands. The Danda is the Spiritually
Empowered Seat of Adi Da's Blessing in Europe. The Danda is a
former monastery — a quiet place, and a place where Adi
Da twice resided. It houses The Adi Da Museum of Art, the largest
collection in the world of Adi Da’s Transcendental Realist Art.
Art tours and presentations will be offered during the retreat.
Filled with Adi Da’s Presence, it is a perfect location to retire
from worldly stress and distraction to sink into the deepest feeling
of Reality Itself.

Testimonial from participants in recent retreats at the European
Danda:
All kind of things happened to me and one in particular:
I am completely happy. . .
I felt so much resistance during this weekend. But suddenly,
as if struck by lightning, it all became completely clear.
This is SO incredible, so much joy and relaxation.
It's not that nothing matters to me anymore, but I feel
relieved of this fear, of a certain pressure. I don't have
to search for anything, I can just completely surrender
and BE. . . .
[I feel] a fiery sensation, from deep within me, a knowing,
a realization. I can contact it and feel I can surrender
into this knowing I can't describe how this feels, the relaxation
— it's indescribable.
It's amazing how this process occurs and how I feel carried
in it by Adi Da (and I can really feel this).
Beloved Adi Da,
I’m very thankful for the retreat in the Danda. It is a
very special place, has Big Energy and has touched my heart
deeply. I would like to say thank You for coming and staying
here, for allowing me to see and feel all the devotees that
You Love. I will go with strong energy and love and I try
ever and ever to give it back to You.
Love, Ilka
