Want to participate in the second Sedona Experiment?
What to expect/know/prepare for:
12 Days of non-stop instruction, reflection and meditation.
Meditations and reflections are both guided by Bentinho as well as held in silence.
Meditations are held both in group settings as well as by yourself.
Morning and evening sessions will be held at an indoor venue. Silent Meditation Afternoon sessions will be held at an outdoor venue.
Attend at your own discretion and be ready: Your outlook on life will never be the same again after this retreat--many illusions and delusions will be destroyed over the course of these 12-days of bootcamp style guidance and attendance.
Fall utterly and completely in love with your innermost Self, and be prepared to lose interest in trivial and external things.
Depending on the person, the first 3 or so days may include some inner battle with the mind, but due to the consistency of the guidance provided and the container and environment held, you will almost certainly pass a threshold and meditation will become a joy for you afterwards, taking your deeper at an accelerated pace each day onwards.
You will not recognize yourself at the end of this event.
There will be 2 or 3 solo-days as part of this event as well, where we don't or only for part of the day come together with everyone.
General Preparations/Recommendations:
Community interactions will be allowed at certain days, but strongly advised against on other days.
For the outdoor afternoon sessions, we recommend you bring clothes in layers, a light-weight, warm jacket and/or a blanket, a meditation cushion (or a folding/camping chair if you cannot sit yogic style for 1-2 hours).
Be capable of sitting comfortably in a meditation position (whether in chair or on the floor) for 1-2 hours.
We recommend daily dry fasts (no food OR liquids) of at least 12 hours, and daily food fasts of at least 15 hours. We recommend concord grape juice with a tablespoon or two of lemon juice (pasteurized for both is good) mixed in to break your daily dry fasts, and to hold you over until you consume food, if at all.
If you decide to do a full fast while attending this event we only recommend the Master Fast System for this purpose.
When/if you do eat we recommend keeping it to raw fruits and/or salads, at least until the evening meal (which is after the last session). Maintaining daily mini-fasts and eating lightly during the day will help most people greatly in their meditations.
Recommended books to read before and/or during the retreat:
1) The Direct Means to Eternal Bliss - Michael Langford,
2) The Seven Steps to Awakening (composed by Michael Langford, but authors are Ramana Maharshi, Nisargadatta, and others)
3) The Nisargadatta Gita by Pradeep Apte
