“Can you live in the same way with something that you don’t know? To find out what it means to live, not only with the thing called life but also with death, which is the unknown, to go into it very deeply, we must die to the things that we know.” -Krishnamurti

In this weekend retreat, we will explore the themes of living and dying. According to Krishnamurti, this death is not the physical death of the body, but rather a psychological death. There must be a death to the past, to memories, and to ideas of time and becoming. Only when one dies to the past can one truly live. The weekend schedule will center around yoga practices and meaningful dialogues at the beautiful Krishnamurti Retreat. The yoga practices are suitable for all levels. The dialogues are intended as a forum to go into what it means to live with the fact of death, and to let that operate within the mind, so that one might come upon the tremendous beauty of life in every moment.

Facilitator Rowan Lommel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Yoga Therapist living in Ojai California. She grew up in the Krishnamurti schools, and has been working on and off for the Krishnamurti Foundation since she was a teenager.
