Initiating You into You …
Being Becoming Without Beginning or End
10 Day Crete Retreat with B
18 - 28 May 2024
“Bless life with the ritual of remembering What You Are, being What You Are, shining What You Are. Then it’s not that you’re in the flow, you ARE the flow unimpeded by memory, unimpeded by the veil. You are the Cosmos exploring itself, the Self knowing itself.. us, we, I, me, you. Light travelling as Love, for and to each other as that same Love. ”
Join B in Crete for a timeless time of boundless discovery, transformation and awakening.
You and I are an appearance of invisible, indivisible Power and Light .
The idea that you are a someone is a perception. Your humanness is a perception. It’s not What You Are.
What You Are knows it perceives but is never what it perceives. It is never limited by its perception. The perception itself just points to the depth of That that perceives :the creator of all that is, the power of all that is and beyond all that is.
If you are reading this and you have got this far, then the idea that you are the body-mind is collapsing fast. The idea that you are a someone limited to sense perception is no longer working for you. The idea that you were born and will die is becoming absurd to you. The idea of right and wrong is evaporating from your system of evolving consciousness. You are realising, no matter what takes place, what you truly are is constantly exploring what you are truly becoming as the cosmos. You are beginning to know your timeless eternal nature and it is showing up in how you perceive, see, know and act. Within this, all difficulties are becoming doors into greater mystery, greater potentiality, initiating you into what you already are.
The retreat will be held at Kalypso Cretan Village Resort, our beautiful 'home' on Crete. You will love this amazingly location and the wild beauty and ancient mystery of Crete.
Every retreat with B unfolds in its own unique rhythm – a typical day has three or four sessions and a break at lunch with plenty of time to enjoy, to explore and commune as you deepen in the heart.
The retreat will be held across the whole resort space. There will be sessions in the meeting hall at the highest point of the resort (with a spectacular view of ocean), as well as informal meetings with B in several of the resort’s beautiful outside locations. There will be spontaneous walks across the cliffs to the nearby beaches and tavernas and there may well be the occasional very early morning or very late night sessions.

The Form Reality Practice
Over the duration of this retreat, you will learn the full five-part sequence of The Form Reality Practice, a profound movement of awakening and self-mastery that is the living embodiment and vehicle of everything B points to. If you have learned the movement before, you will discover it anew and further deepen in the practice, for there is no end to this unfolding.
“ What I want to emphasise as we go into The Form, is that the body is the appearance of the energy and Presence of Being, one's innate nature. We turn our palms up and we look into Eternity. We look into Eternity for we are actually Eternity looking into itself. The practice is demonstrating that the mind freed from objectivity of the known can be turned towards the invisible, the indivisible. The mind becomes a servant of the One, the indivisible.”
As we move our hands very slowly up, heading towards high prayer, behold the Presence, the energy, which is the now, which is What One Is. The mind begins to be in obeyance to this Presence. It ceases to function in the known. It begins to drop open to the unknown. And instead of being ‘someone’, you're pure observation, pure-aware observation; not a centre. Here, there is no centre. You are pure observation.
The slow movement encourages the mind to drop completely open. Notice the vibration in the body and get to know the body as a field, and a field of relationships to you as present Source aware. For the body carries the infinite messages of the universe.. the universe is in communion with itself. “
“Each movement is a timeless moment in which being resonates in creation and beyond creation. This is the reverberation of all existence knowing you, you knowing it as the One. It’s the trinity.
Why do we move slowly? Because it tames the mind. It brings the mind to vibrate at still point, the point, which is a juxtapoint between existing and non existence.
