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”.
