Welcome to this special summer retreat for men, in which we will explore the Way of the Peaceful Warrior. We will do this in the beautiful setting of Tomar, the ancient capital of the Templars in Portugal<\/strong><\/span>. This retreat is a follow up of our online course \u2018sacred warriors\u2019 in 2024, and the men\u2019s gatherings in Sinai in the last 3 years.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

The time has come for the peaceful warrior. The warrior that doesn\u2019t use violence or war to reach its goals, but the warrior that acts from the heart. Its \u2018weapons\u2019 are compassion, love and wisdom. And its enemies are ignorance, judgement and hatred.<\/strong><\/span> Its arrows are not pointed at any specific person or group, because the peaceful warrior knows we are all human beings trying to find our way out of the claws of illusion. We are all caught in the web of \u2018samsara\u2019 and to free ourselves we have to liberate first our own mind and release our negative emotions.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

This is no easy practice. That\u2019s why it takes a warrior\u2019s mind: To be sharp, relentless and yet compassionate and wise.<\/strong><\/span> Each one of us has a favourite enemy: someone or something that we want to fight. Could be our father or mother, our leaders or any other authority figure; could be our neighbours, other people, the system, the bad guys, another religion, another race. We can even want to fight ourselves and fight an inner battle. To get out of the fight- and survive modus it takes a lot of courage, wisdom and strength. But in the end it is rewarding on many levels.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

To bring peace to the world, we first have to bring peace and healing to our own mind and soul. Yes, there is darkness, injustice, war and suffering. Yet, how can we avoid to contribute to it, knowingly or unknowingly. This is the Way of the Peaceful Warrior.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWe will use the principles of Open Space as a way of ceremony to delve into our inner world, explore who we are, discover what holds us back and make a leap forward: into the unknown and into ourselves. We will have 2 sharing circles a day, exercises and body work. The whole program will be a powerful ceremony of personal change and transformation. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
