When one actually feels oneself and the world, if somehow the ache of beauty, nature, harmonies of stars, time, space, and the dance of elements can somehow pierce through this numbed human condition - we can wake up. To the reality and beauty and integrity of life.
The path of the yogis has shown over millennia how we can be at ease with the pushes and pulls of currencies of values as they change according to the trends of ignorance of each epoch. To lessen the degree of separation between the one and the supposed "other." It's time to regain our freedom for intuitive union, Yoga.
Petros' words open the path:
I trust in the never sleeping voice of our intuition, which unmasks the bias of our consciousness through the depth of our feelings and carries the eternal wisdom of the connectedness of all life and wants to work there.
I trust in the music, prayer, rituals, and encounters that lead us to the real world of playful dance and song and which remains audible despite all the noise of a world that forgets its essence.
I trust in the experience of countless compassionate beings over millennia who instilled in us the traditions of integrity and purpose.
The path that we learn to walk through the practice itself is one of many ways to unfold this given light that we call life, and thus our destiny within it.
Zen Rocks is a place of beauty, community, and dedication to a deep practice for personal healing and global transformation. Sprawled within endless olive groves, with stunning views of mountains, sky, and sea, Zen Rocks was created as a center for deep practice, healing, community and harmonious inter-being.
Set against the dramatic expanse of the Mediterranean sea, this heavenly corner of the earth is beckoning us on a unique journey of personal growth.
Through mindfulness meditation and somatic practices we are invited to re-connect with our essential nature, rest, restore, and meet the most positive creative version of ourselves again.
