Seminar and Retreat 2017: “To Be a Lamp Onto Oneself – Mindfulness: A Gateway to a Spiritual Life” with Fernando de Torrijos
Organised by: ITC, TVN & EFTS
Language: English
Location: Besant Hall, ITC Naarden
Date: 23-28 June 2017
Seminar part 23-25, Retreat part 26-28 June
Mindfulness means observing our thoughts, our feelings and sensations, as they are, in a non-judgmental way, without reacting or trying to change them. As a result we will become more aware of the present moment, and the spiritual quality of life will increase. More and more people have experienced that mindfulness is also an effective way to relieve stress and pain, and to be able to rise above the consequences of burn-out.
The goal of this seminar and retreat is to experience the living spiritual reality behind mindfulness, and to instruct proper methods. In Buddhism it is considered essential for spiritual growth. Those who are familiar with the Eightfold Path can imagine that.
Participants can join the seminar as well as the retreat, or choose any one of the two parts. (That is, only the seminar or only the retreat.) TS members are entitled to a reduced registration fee. For lodging, you may choose one of four options: a) Crystal House single room, b) Crystal House double room, c) Arundale House double room, or d) camping in your own tent.(!)

In the President’s Blog of February-March 2017, Tim Boyd reports on – among other things – a very special strategic planning meeting of the General Council of the Theosophical Society at the ITC, which took place in the first week of March. Several of the GC members are interviewed, giving an impression of the meeting, supported by some nice pictures of the Centre.
