Meditation for Finding and Achieving Your Unique Purpose

“All that you do to maintain your life, your everyday work and play, all your attempts to earn a living, should be done with sincerity, love and devotion, with a firm conviction that true living means virtually perfecting one’s spiritual existence in tune with the universe.”

Indian saint and mystic Sri Anandamayi Ma

This retreat invites you to discover or deepen your unique life purpose by uniting ancient spiritual wisdom with modern psychological insights. Our journey will be initially guided by the contemplations of best selling author Robert Greene, who emphasises self-awareness, learning from all experiences, and understanding the dynamics of relationships, career, and society. His insights on power, communication, and the balance between vulnerability and strength provide valuable guidance for finding your path and building meaningful connections with others.

A core focus of this retreat is embracing a deeper, more present sense of purpose, as taught by Eckhart Tolle. Tolle emphasises that true purpose is not about striving for future goals, but about fully engaging with the present moment. Our inner purpose is to awaken, and life brings us exactly the experiences we need to evolve our consciousness, providing opportunities for growth and self-discovery. This journey of awakening is a shared, universal experience across humanity.

By shifting from a “thought-based” mindset to a state of presence, you can let go of mental patterns that cause dissatisfaction, allowing a more harmonious and fulfilling life to emerge. We will also draw on Michael Singer’s teachings, which show how releasing resistance and accepting reality, rather than fighting against it, can lead to lasting happiness, love, and spiritual growth.

The retreat ultimately draws on Vedic philosophy, which teaches that the ultimate goal of life is spiritual liberation and realising our oneness with the universe. Late Indian Sage, Swami Sivananda, emphasises that the purpose of human birth is to achieve Divine Consciousness, assuring us that this is attainable within this lifetime. Swami Sivananda encourages us to see the divine in all creation, purifying and stilling the mind, and attaining freedom through self-realisation. Participants will be inspired to connect with their inner divinity and understand their spiritual purpose on a deeper level.

Through meditation and self-inquiry this retreat offers an opportunity to deepen your self-awareness, improve your relationships, your working situation or simply find greater fulfilment in everyday life. It is an opportunity to align with your true purpose and live in harmony with the greater intelligence of the universe, remembering that You are the Universe and the Universe is within You.
