Awakening Retreat for Earnest Seekers

Satsang means ‘association with the highest Truth’ and refers to a gathering of people who are searching for who or what they truly are at the deepest level. Satsang often takes place in the presence of an awakened teacher or master. Seekers will ask questions and the master will respond to clear up any doubts, misunderstandings or apparent obstacles. Satsang, Self-inquiry and ‘An Invitation to Freedom’ are all powerful aids to discovering your true nature and timeless freedom. A lasting discovery of Truth is often referred to as self-realisation, enlightenment or awakening. More information can be found on the Satsang page.

We encourage everyone to attend all the sessions of the retreat, however if this is not possible, the recordings are available to stream or download for at least 6 months after the event. Steaming is possible shortly after the end of each Satsang, and downloads will be available within 2 weeks after the end of the retreat.

As much as possible throughout the retreat, move quietly with your attention resting in silent awareness. Some suggestions that you may wish to consider:
– Preparing your space can contribute greatly to the atmosphere. For example, a clean and quiet space where you are comfortable and undisturbed can be supportive.
– Take a moment to consider how to be free from distractions and interruptions. Eg. turn off your phone; close apps and other tabs on the computer; where possible, let friends and family know that you would prefer not to be disturbed
– The time you spend prior to and after Satsang is of utmost importance to allow the pointings to settle deeply inside your heart. Sitting quietly at these times can be very powerful, even if it is just for 10 minutes.
– Keep your attention focused inwards throughout the retreat even while engaging in necessary practical daily activities and interactions.
– Arrange some quiet contemplative time, and avoid unnecessary distractions throughout the retreat, such as watching movies/tv, browsing social media etc.

The most important requirement is a sincere and wholehearted commitment to self-discovery. While it is recommended to have plenty of time for contemplation, and a calm and peaceful space to join the retreat, it is still possible to benefit greatly from the retreat in other circumstances. Our suggestion would be to be as present as possible during the Satsangs (live or recorded), and to avoid any unnecessary additional activities other than what is required of you.

During the retreat, Mooji will mostly take written questions and may call on those who have joined the Zoom call for that Satsang. Before each Satsang, a number of questions are printed from those that are joining the Satsang on Zoom. Those who wish to ask Mooji a question can fill in the Question for Mooji form available after registration, and some of these letters will be read in Satsang.

During registration, you can indicate which Satsang session you would prefer to join on Zoom (if any). The Zoom invitation emails will be sent out the day before the retreat, on Tuesday, 17 August by 18:00 (6pm) Lisbon time. We try to accommodate everyone’s preference, but as we cannot guarantee this, it is important to read this email before the start of the retreat to confirm which session you will attend on Zoom. Letters almost always come from someone present in that particular Zoom call.

Letters in Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and Russian: It is possible to write letters to Mooji in these languages and our team will translate them. Mooji may read some translated letters during the Satsang where translation is available in the Zoom for that particular language (each satsang will offer translation for all languages on the Live Broadcast, but only 1 or 2 languages within the zoom call) 

The retreat is in English, and live translation is available in Portuguese, Italian, Russian and Spanish for the broadcast for all Live Satsangs. We will not be able to offer translation for technical support. 

It is possible to submit letters for Mooji in the above languages and our team will translate them. Live Translation for each language will also be available in selected Zoom calls, with each language being allocated a particular session. Each participant will have the opportunity to attend one Satsang session on Zoom (if they like), and priority for a particular session will be given to those who require translation in the language being offered on Zoom.

This translation service is being lovingly offered by non-professional interpreters joining online from around the world. Offering live translations in this way is quite new for us, and the quality may vary. It is helpful for some participants to listen to Satsang in their native language, however there is always the possibility that some of Mooji’s words or meaning is missing or not translated perfectly. Naturally, Mooji’s own, unfiltered words are the highest and most powerful transmission, but many have benefitted deeply from listening to the live translation.

Concession places are available for those who are unable to attend at the full price for financial reasons. Please click here for more information. Applications for concessions close on Sunday, 15 August at 6am (Lisbon time).

No, most participants will watch each Satsang via the Live Broadcast on Mooji TV. During Satsang, a smaller, changing group of participants will be in a Zoom call with Mooji. Everyone will have the opportunity to join one Satsang session on Zoom (if they like). Much like in a physical retreat, most of the retreat participants are being guided through Mooji’s universal exchanges with questioners that come forward.  

Additionally there will be several online contemplative areas offered via Zoom. These Sahaja Spaces include the Mooji Mandir, Shiva temple, Christ Chapel, Lotus Garden and Ganga Lagoon from Monte Sahaja, the Center for Self-Realisation in Portugal. In these Zoom calls, video footage from these beautiful areas will be played, while the participants can sit quietly and contemplate in the potent spiritual atmosphere. These are not interactive spaces, so those joining the call will have their audio muted.

A group of participants will join each Satsang via Zoom, while the rest of the participants watch a live broadcast via Mooji TV. During registration, you can indicate which Satsang session you would prefer to join on Zoom (if any). The Zoom invitation emails will be sent out the day before the retreat, on Tuesday, 17 August by 20:00 (8pm) Lisbon time. We try to accommodate everyone’s preference, but as we cannot guarantee this, it is important to read this email before the start of the retreat to confirm which session you will attend on Zoom.

Please see the previous question to find out how to enter the lottery to join the Satsang Zoom call.

Participants for the retreat will be given access to online materials that guide you on how to install and connect to meetings with Zoom. As everyone has the opportunity to join one Satsang session on Zoom, it is essential that everyone joins one of the following Onboarding & Zoom Practice Calls:

Sunday, 15 August
9:00-10:30
15:00-16:30

Tuesday, 17 August
9:00-10:30
15:00-16:30

Joining this practice call will help to ensure that you are comfortable in Zoom and with the settings that will suit you for this retreat.

Please note: we can only offer technical support in English. Also, given the number of people connecting, we will be unable to offer technical support during Satsang itself.

We are taking care to ensure that the Zoom calls are configured in a way that ensures a good retreat experience for everyone. People will not be able to interrupt, and will only be able to speak if called upon. Extra features such as chat and screen share will be disabled to avoid unnecessary noise and interruptions.
