Program

Retreat Theme - Strength. Essential Quality - Strength.
This retreat is centered around the vital qualities of strength, courage, and aliveness. These qualities are the foundation for living a fulfilling and purposeful life, enabling us to navigate challenges and pursue our aspirations with conviction.

Strength is a multidimensional quality that encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects. It empowers us to let go of old patterns, establish healthy boundaries, and embrace the adventure of life. By developing strength within ourselves, we can tackle any obstacle with resilience and enthusiasm.

Courage is the courage to be vulnerable, take risks, and venture out of our comfort zones. It's about confronting our fears and uncertainties and trusting ourselves to handle whatever arises. Courage propels us to pursue our passions and live life to the fullest.

Aliveness is the feeling of vitality and energy that arises from living in alignment with our true selves. When we're fully present and engaged in the world, we experience a sense of purpose and joy that enriches our lives and encourages us to keep learning and evolving.

Throughout the retreat, we'll explore a variety of practices and exercises designed to cultivate these essential qualities within ourselves. We'll engage in movement, meditation, and introspection to deepen our connection to our inner strength, courage, and aliveness.

Why Take the Journey?
Our True Nature is what we call our Essence, it can be experienced as Joy, Confidence, and Vitality. These are dimensions we were in touch with as children and forgot as we grew up.

When we are not connected with our essence, we live life influenced by our unconscious patterns, and we react rather than interact. As we reconnect with our essence, our life becomes more full and we find ourselves having more energy, confidence and trust.

The teachings do not focus on treating or curing a mental disturbance. Even though the body of work contains therapeutic elements, it is not psychotherapy, rather it is a process of self-discovery.

The Diamond Logos are teachings for the times we live in - bridging the gap between ancient spiritual traditions and modern psychology.

This retreat is facilitated by Emilio Mercuriali, a senior teacher of the Diamond Logos, founded by Faisal Muqqadam.

What are the Essential Qualities?
Self-confidence - Presence, Will and Manifestation.
Strength - Courage, Aliveness and Expression.
Joy - Spontaneity, Curiosity and Creativity.
Loving Kindness - Compassion and Vulnerability.
Inner Peace - Silence and Personal Power.
