Welcome to a new system for Enlightened for life and Erika/Akire. This month of May is the month of my death experience 7 years ago, and I am being called to spend 5 hours in the garden on Mondays (moon days) and have that open for others to join me. It started with the perception of meditation, yet when I did it (last monday) I saw that meditation does not really resonate with the process as a whole. I entered a very deep state of observation and was blown away. So now the name changes to open it up differently.

This is a space of 5 hours from 4pm to 9pm where you can come to the garden to explore your inner world and observe what is playing, needs to play or move for you and you can stay as long and at the hours (gates) that resonate with you. (trying to make latest arrival at 7:45pm- yet if you need to arrive and sit for 15mins at 8:45 as long as you leave at 9pm not a problem). The garden is an energetic system that creates a very specific vortex of conscious, which reacts with our pain bodies allowing a deeper exploration. This is a self-catering journey where you can choose to stay for how long you like and practice mindfulness the way you desire. The only rule is that while in the gazebo and in the surrounding, it is silence and no interaction.

Examples of what you can practice but not limited to it:

• You can sit, lay, shake, inside gazebo, in the grass as long as your process is on the back yard and not in the house- As there is a complete different system and grid
• Observing your feelings and your inner world
• Observing the monkey mind and the electric movement of thought
• Practice equanimity (observation with no reaction and yet awareness that everything is in a temporary state and watching the flow of your character through the cycles of reactive chemical release)
• Process your previous week by working with your memory and what might have triggered you – within yourself.
• Having a break from the noise and entering deep silence.
• Observing your reaction of being around people and not being allowed to interact.
• Do it all at the same time or none at all.

If you are a regular or accustomed to the garden (and have the address) you can just pop up. Meanwhile, if you are new to the garden, please sign the form once and you will get the address via email and be received at the door at your first time:

This experience is donation based (cash preferred -if you want to bank transfer, just follow the link for the registration for bank details) and you can share at your current state of abundance, and the value you give to the experience (gifts from your garden are also welcome as contribution).

Every individual has to bring all they need for their desire comfort (one of the best things about this is that the space is open to the elements and will provide us with fresh air, grounding energy and physical temperature challenges to allow the build of mental and physical strength). Physical and mental discomfort build mastery.

The energy of the people that will navigate through it, will also bring elements of intrusive thoughts and triggers that might give you the opportunity to activate patience and compassion. I am truly looking forward to seeing how this experience will play out.

Please be careful around the garden as it is a natural space and might present lower branches, uneven floors and steps and sharpen edges, we do not hold responsibility for your safety and the manifestations that comes from your choice of joining this or any other retreat.
