truth-telling retreat
Wellness can be a busy, beautiful marketplace – alive with promise, persuasion, and performance. Who Am I? is an invitation to return to truth – the one that is uniquely yours.
In a culture that prizes progress, wellness too has become an arena for striving. Amid the noise of doing, improving, and the pressure to appear well, we lose touch with the quiet capacities that once came naturally to us. Perception. Discernment. Intuition.
Who Am I? is a gentle workshop in truth-telling – an antidote to burnout and busyness. Through contemplative enquiry and communication, you’ll learn how to come into contact with the deepest parts of yourself and speak from direct experience.
Drawing on the contemplative methods of Charles Berner, whose Enlightenment Intensives have run worldwide since 1968, Tina shares a simple, secular practice for opening to truth – one that complements any spiritual, religious, or wellness tradition.
The practice restores clarity and coherence bringing mind and life back into alignment – a gentle harmony between being and doing.
The Principles of Enquiry and Connection
This practice draws on the traditions of contemplative enquiry and dyad communication – simple yet powerful methods for experiencing truth directly, without interpretation or debate. Each principle is designed to create a space where honesty, presence, and trust can flourish.
