Self-Marriage: A Weekend Retreat in NYC | May 17-19 and 24-26

Within you is the seed of all life–the same force which casts brilliant azures and violets across the desert horizon at dawn. ?Within you is the strength of a mountain, the fragility of a snowflake, the passion of a volcano, the will of a tornado, the innocence of a child, the beauty of the Earth itself. ?Within you is love’s essence incarnated: A human body; a human heart; the gift of life and of awareness. ?Within you is all you seek:?you are your own beloved.

In Self-Marriage, we live from the inside-out. ?We recognize that the world and our experiences do not come?at?us; they come?from?us.

Countless spiritual/religious traditions and texts tell us that?we are Love, that all we seek can be found within. ?It is one thing to know this intellectually, and another to know it in our bodies, in our bones–to truly live it. ?To embody love each and every day of our lives.

Experiences can build–or shatter–our beliefs. ?This retreat is an opportunity to experience the belief that we are truly all we seek in this world–that?we are, at the essence, Love.??That we can live all we long for if we stop seeking it in the wrong direction and instead look within and nurture the seed of truth that lives inside us. ?When we awaken this love within, we understand that love is right here in this moment, in this very experience, in this gift of life.

In Self-Marriage, we commit to love. ?We commit to our?truest Self. ?We commit to living our heart’s deepest?dreams?and desires, and making the world a better place because of it. ?And through this commitment comes the greatest freedom–to live our full potential, every day.

To marry yourself is to take one step deeper into living authentically and proclaim that the love of your life is right here in these hands, breathing this breath. ?To marry yourself is to recognize that?you are your own beloved, first and foremost.

Self-Marriage is a practice. ?The love is already there. ?The commitment is a seed. ?Are you ready to cultivate it?

You are invited to dedicate yourself to Love during our upcoming Self-Marriage weekend retreats in New York, NY, USA: May 17-19 and May 24-26, 2013.
