Dega Farms

Love has no continuity, love has no tomorrow. The picture on the wall, the image of the person you love in your mind, those are not love, merely memory, a recollection, a remembrance. Love means to die to everything you have known. And as love is unknown, so death is unknown. You cannot love with the known. To enter into the unknown, which is death, one must die every day to everything, and only then is the mind fresh, young and innocent. In that, there is no death.

J Krishnamurti

From Public Talk 7, Paris, 19 September 1961

Freedom From the Known

It's Time to be Conscious

We invite you to a retreat of quiet exploration and deep inquiry into the nature of self knowledge and Meditation. J Krishnamurti often spoke of the importance of understanding oneself, without the influence of conditioning, and the role of knowledge in our daily lives. In a world that is filled with noise and constant movement, can we find the space to look inward? Can we, together, question the nature of thought, learning, and understanding?

Through dialogue, meditation, and quiet contemplation, we will explore these questions, not as a theory or idea, but as a living fact.

This retreat is for those who wish to look deeply into their own minds, to see clearly the workings of thought, fear, and desire, and to understand the limitations of knowledge. Krishnamurti often said, “The observer is the observed.” Can we come together to see the truth of this in our own lives?

Join us for this journey into self-enquiry, where there are no teachers, no followers - only friends eager to Find Out.
