Retreat synopsis:
The pursuit of happiness… how’s that going for you?
In the ancient Vedic text called “The Upanishads”, there is a story of a musk deer that elucidates the nature of real happiness…
Once when roaming about and frolicking among the hills and dales, a deer suddenly became aware of an exquisite musk-scent that stirred the innermost depths of its soul so profoundly that the deer was determined to find the source of this heavenly fragrance. So keen was the deer’s longing for the scent that it roamed about in a desperate search. It knew no fear and no rest for years and years until one day it fell from a cliff with a fatal injury. While breathing its last, the deer suddenly realized that the scent which ravished its heart, making it roam aimlessly all through life came from its own navel. Thus, the last few moments of the deer’s life were moments of regret for having chased after something, all life-long that was ultimately within itself.
This retreat is about slowing down and connecting with happiness, so that we don’t have to fall down to make this simple and profound discovery:
