Experience awakening at the True Heart True Mind Retreat with Paul Weiss for compassionate and profound transformation. One of the most exact, the most rigorous, and the most truthful methods of knowing the self which have emerged in the course of humanistic psychology”

— Jacques de Panafieu, in the French publication, Psychologie BLUE HILL, ME, UNITED STATES, October 7, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A unique and well-tested integration of zen contemplation and focused communication designed to enhance the awakening power of both. It is a supremely integrative and non-dualistic process founded in both love and awareness, and goes to the unadorned heart of all spiritual practice.

True Heart True Mind is a unique approach to self-awakening that integrates ancient contemplation and modern communication techniques. It is not just a workshop. It is a slice of your own life with all the routine distractions taken away. It is a time to come face to face with the essential nature of yourself and the essential nature of being. It is a greenhouse that fosters and illumines the natural processes of the self, confronting its conditioned tendencies, obstructions, distractions, and contradictions in the light of its inherent desire for freedom, love, and union. It is an occasion for those willing to let their soul’s search for truth and self-realization become their ruling passion for at least these three days.

It prompts nothing less than the transformation of the mind’s paradigm: from distraction to devotion, from fixation to openness, from survival to growth. From figuring, labeling, and managing reality to the quiet opening of awareness that lets reality speak to us. And from a habitual social response to others, with all of its projections, to opening to others at the essential level of what it means to be a human being. It is the foundation of all spiritual work.

It is a wholly simple, benign, and loving process, in which each person’s unfolding occurs in his or her own time. But because the schedule is rigorous, and you are left with no distraction from the moment- to-moment experience of self, it may well be one of the hardest experiences of your life.

In True Heart True Mind, we work with rotating partners, silently contemplating the timeless question "Who am I?" while remaining newly open to our actual arising experience. We communicate our experience simply and honestly to our partners – and let it go. Then we hold space for them, and listen with non judgmental presence and receptivity to their truth. Together, contemplation and communication augment the awakening power of both, and have a transformative effect on our awareness, and on our capacity for insight, integration, compassionate presence, and, yes, self-realization.

We are the gift and reflection to each other of the living truth, the true heart. the initiatory moment.
