About Natsukashi Retreat

It is a retreat to remember the original ‘you’ that was born into this world and forgotten.

The first Natsukashi Retreat was held in India in 1996. 

You may wonder why it is called ‘Natsukashi’. In English, there are many ways of explaining the word “nostalgic”. It may be coming back to yourself, going home or returning to the authentic “you”. But “Natsukashi” is not just about “nostalgia”.

Since you were born into this world, you have long forgotten the real, original you.

If you are happy at your workplace, or in your marriage, it’s fine. But when you are facing various situations where you are suffering and in pain or when you are not happy from the bottom of your heart, you start thinking, “Where is my true self ?”

And Natsukashi Retreat is that rare opportunity to reconnect with this kind of deep feeling, to realize that ‘I, he, she were all born as this kind of being”.

For three or four days each time they choose a partner, they walk, lie down, sit down, speak or stay silent, touch or being touched or look at each other. ‘I’ and ‘you’ melt away. When they make eye contact there is a wonder who is looking and who is being looked at?  When they consciously touch each other, who is the one touching and who is the one receiving the touch?

And after some time we lose the division and the attachment. And the journey starts towards the ultimate oneness, where touching is just a fact. 

This also applies to standing up and sitting down, listening to others and speaking up or keeping silent.

We will help you on your journey back to your true self. Kohrogi Mamoru will as well as your partner at the moment.

Possessiveness, attachment are disappearing more and more.
I, you, he, she are disappearing.
