Personal ‘retreat’: seventh reflection – life tide returning
27th February 2016
I didn’t write a reflection in the blog yesterday (although I did the day before). I said when I came down here for this ten day retreat at the Krishnamurti Study Centre, that I was aware of three intentions … three hopes. One was to “move the slider across” from …

I have already written a series of posts about this stay down at the Krishnamurti Study Centre in Hampshire - see for example the first one "Setting the scene" or the most recent (before this one) "Being, flow & 'pure driving'". Yesterday I took an ‘idle & blessed’ day. This …

Personal ‘retreat’: second reflection – settling & questioning
21st February 2016
I wrote a post yesterday about arriving here at the Krishnamurti Study Centre. Now it's early on the second morning – how was the first full day? It was fine. I wrote, thought, read, went on a two-hour walk (boots repeatedly clogging with the Hampshire clay), practised yoga, meditated, and …
Personal ‘retreat’: first reflection – setting the scene
20th February 2016
So here I am bright & early on the first full day of a ten-day personal retreat at the Krishnamurti Study Centre in Hampshire. Why? Well I was conscious of three intertwining reasons when I booked this time away several months ago. One is about doing & being, another about …
