Trust in Love- Retreat in Amsterdam with Lisa and Jared

 

We are all challenged in our lives, this is natural. But sometimes it feels like provocation comes from all sides.

Besides our personal problems, extreme political leaders are causing war and devastation. Refugees are being turned away from safety, animals and mother earth are suffering from the greed and extractions. Our trust in life can feel deeply damaged.
What if we, in the midst of this fire, meet as true friends and go beyond all concepts or experience and find what is unconditionally trustworthy; what is always here. What if we take a deep dive with Lisa & Jared and turn our lives right side up and Let Love Lead no matter what. We wonder, what would that give you? Join us in inspiring Amsterdam.

Meeting format
We will begin each meeting with silence, followed by sharing our realizations and questions. There may be exercises in pairs that will help give you deeper insight for your awakening. Each meeting is approx. 90 mins.

 

Meet Lisa and Jared

Lisa and Jared have ten year of experience teaching together.

Lisa
For 30 years, Lisa has been a devoted student of her teacher Gangaji—who, in 2005, invited her to begin sharing Satsang. Lisa now stands as a devoted teacher in the respected lineage of Ramana Maharshi, Papaji, and Gangaji—honoring a tradition rooted in direct self-inquiry, stillness, and the intimate discovery of truth of who you are. With many years of guiding others, Lisa offers a rare and grounded presence, inviting everyone she meets directly into their own loving heart. Being with her in Satsang feels like coming home, you are welcome just as you are into the quiet recognition of what is already whole and free.

Jared
Jared met his teacher Eli Jaxon-Bear in 2009. Based near Byron Bay Australia, he offers private sessions to individuals, leads group events and teaches and mentors students at the Leela School of Awakening. Passing on the teaching of a silent mind from Ramana Maharshi, Papaji, and his own teacher Eli Jaxon-Bear, Jared invites you to discover freedom and happiness by Waking Up to your true nature.

 

Satsang is a sacred meeting in truth, with the intention of exploring your
true nature. In this safe space, you have the opportunity to see what within you is already whole, free, and at peace.

Through simple yet profound inquiry, old patterns can begin to dissolve. What remains is the natural love and calm of your being.

Many people discover that this inner peace brings greater clarity, calm, and compassion into everyday life—whether at work, in relationships, or most importantly, within themselves.
