“Experience beyond belief”
The Summer Gathering at Gaunts House has now been running for over twenty years (this year is our 22nd) and is recognised as providing a friendly, festival atmosphere where quality workshops, therapies, speakers and inspirational music and a variety of other consciousness expanding experiences are readily found.
This year it will take place from Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th August. ExperiEssence 2012 is designed to provide all comers with an environment which encourages a deeper more sacred experience. That’s why we are going vegetarian this year as well as having a ‘dry bar’ – in that way directly supporting a conscious aware space designed to be full of deepening experiences, fun and laughter.
In a move away from commercialism and material gain, we are inviting other charities so that they too may directly benefit from the gathering. For example, the Buddhafield Café, which is part of the Buddhafield community, will be providing the majority of our catering this year.
Perhaps the most positive change we can make within ourselves (and naturally integrate back into the world around us) is to move closer to the truth of our authenticity, to journey towards essence. ExperiEssence 2012 is here to provide a loving and caring environment which is challenging and inspirational, conscious and uplifting – something which sets us apart from the typical ‘bandwagon’ of summer festivals.
This year we are attempting to share what Gaunts House is all about – why we’re here and what we do - to provide everyone with a window for their own profound learning. This sense of change comes directly from the resident community and Heartbeat – volunteers who work together to make this wonderful opportunity an actual reality.
2012 is a time of change. What is awakening in the world is nothing new. It has always been and will always be. The one difference is that people are awakening to the essential oneness of all things in such numbers that conscious evolution is gathering pace.
This is not one person’s realisation but a mass movement arising from consciousness itself. It is no longer confined to specific individuals but has become a worldwide deepening. There is no founder or single point from which this arises for it is a matter of consciousness itself. There is no one Buddha Christ Prophet Messiah, simply ever increasing numbers with a deepening awareness of unveiling the consciousness we-really-are.
If we do not make the necessary changes to evolve, we will likely become the next dinosaurs. We have an immediate and pressing choice - to cling on to the ‘old’ or to let go and merge with the infinite depths of who-we-really-are. This is the route to freedom; to have the courage and certitude to transcend our dependence on ego.
What do you choose?
Now is the time to experience beyond belief.
