NEW TEMPLARS
TOMAR (PORTUGAL), April 17 – 21, 2024
‘Through the ages there have been holy warriors, sacred warriors, who had heard the call of their heart and the call of the divine. In any form. Be it Christian, be it Roman, be it Celtic. The outer circumstances of a society don’t matter. Because underneath there is always the sacred tradition of the heart and the warriors of the heart, who uphold the ethics and the sacred laws of the universe, which they feel in their heart. It is this tradition that you are part of, in a long lineage from the Essenes, the Cathars, the Templars, the Free Masons, the Rosicrucians, people who were striving to do good for a society, who brought in their stone to build a cathedral of love, or a temple of love. You are the guardians of light, the templars of the heart.’
Sometimes the world can be overwhelming, chaotic, senseless. How do we make life work in a positive, constructive way when the world around us doesn’t make sense at all? And what is exactly our role in it? Do we have a ‘destiny’ or mission? If yes, what is it?
Within the concept of Open Space – meaning we will create the program together on the spot – we will explore what it means to live in these weird, changing, but interesting times. We will touch upon questions like: Who am I? What’s my purpose in life? How do I cope with relationships, money, work and love? What does it mean to be masculine or feminine, or both? How do I fit in with others and with the world around me? How can I express my feelings in a safe way? How can I use my intuition? Basic questions that contribute to the handbook ‘how to live on earth and still enjoy the ride’.
This 4 day retreat will be held in the middle of Tomar, the old Portuguese capital of the Templars. If you feel called you are very welcome to join.
Hope to meet you in Tomar in april!!
