Setting Intentions for the Retreat

Setting intentions for any Online Retreat is an important step to prepare for a transformative experience.

As you make your spiritual practice in the next days, it is good to explore the power of intention setting and how it can shape our time together at the retreat.

Intention setting helps us focus our energy and attention on what we want to manifest in our lives.

It is highly recommended that prior to the retreat we set intentions, such as through journaling, meditation, or visualization exercises, as by clarifying our intentions, we can create a clear roadmap for our personal growth and healing during the retreat. Setting intentions also helps us align with the energy of the retreat and connect with our inner wisdom.

As we embark on this journey together, it is important to take the time to reflect on our intentions and revisit them throughout the retreat. By staying true to our intentions and remaining open to the possibilities that unfold, we can deepen our experience and fully embrace the magic of the Online Retreat.

“Retreats are the best place on the planet to be! Because they give a sense of togetherness, a sense of belonging, a sense of relaxing that nothing else can compare with.” - Satprem (Sweden)

“ The retreat was deeply spiritual and very practical for learning how to live sanely, joyfully, with love and compassion, and every day being rooted in the reality of the present, without getting caught up in the illusion of something that hasn't happened yet or things that happened in the past. I enjoyed the format of the retreat with Tony Samara presenting the teachings first and then weaving in the beautiful and practical meditations at just the right time. There was also a good amount of time allocated for questions as well. Each session gave us something that expanded our hearts and minds from deep within, and also gifted us with a special practice/meditation which was just the right amount, and very doable for even the busiest of people.” - Vivian (USA)
