Trust yourself. At the root, at the core, there is pure sanity, pure openness. Don’t trust what you have been taught, what you think, what you believe, what you hope. Deeper than that, trust the silence of your being. ~Gangaji
Watch a Video Clip of Gangaji speaking about trusting the pure sanity at the core of your being.

During this 5-day retreat with Gangaji we will explore the true meaning of trusting yourself. As we face our day-to-day life experience, what does it mean to be true? How is it possible to live our lives freely and authentically? What does it really mean when our emotions rage and our thoughts spin? Gangaji invites us to dive deeply into the direct experience of our true nature, and points to the possibility of surrendering what we think we should be thinking, feeling and experiencing, in the discovery of peace that is already here. We look forward to this inquiry—walking the razor’s edge of our humanity and divinity.
