Deep Meditative Retreats in the Alps of Switzerland: 28 Oct. - 2 Nov. 2025
Topic: The Flame of Attention
“Where there is attention there is silence. But that silence is like a flame. You understand – alive, burning... Love is attention… So attention means silence and that silence is love. Without love there is nothing.” - J. Krishnamurti,
A period of sustained inquiry and stillness is essential for delving deeper into the vital questions of our lives. A retreat offers this necessary space for our senses, body, and mind to relax, often exhausted by the demands of daily activities. When we settle into inner relaxation and quiet, we become receptive to entering a meditative state, enabling us to see and listen with clarity and depth. Set amidst the beautiful landscapes of a tranquil village in the Swiss Alps, this retreat offers a unique transformative journey.
Facilitated by Mukesh Gupta in a spirit of deep friendship, care, and trust, this retreat is not about filling our minds with more words or knowledge of the teachings. Instead, it invites us to gently and compassionately empty ourselves and explore the questions and insights arising from the depths of our being, with an emphasis on both inner and outer silence.
Among many other deep existential questions, we are going to explore such questions of our day-to-day lives in a safe and compassionate space:
Is there a new way of living which is not based upon past conditioning, repetitive fears, sorrows, guilt and old patters of thought and emotions?
What does it mean to live our daily life from a quality of attention and love?
Why do we suffer, and is it possible to end psychological suffering?
How can we let go the heavy burden of the past and discover fresh inner resources for a new way of living?
We extend a heartfelt invitation for you to join us on this journey of self-discovery.
