Intention of the retreat
This retreat will be an exciting, energetic and experiential retreat with the fantastic title:
Be nourished on every level by the Field
Sri Vasudeva always talks about his shift to the consciousness of this field. This field is also present in you. You are always connected to it and you can become more and more aware of it. The 40 Days of 2024 gave wonderful inspiration, insights, and experiences to that end. In this retreat we will build on that.
"The whole idea is that I want people to appreciate the field. In this 40 Days that just went I mentioned a lot about the field. And about the power of the field and tapping into the field. And that the field is not limited by space and time. The field is always there and the field is everywhere. So if we can tap into the field then we have access to a fountain of infinite energy, infinite potentiality."
In the video below (recorded during the Canadian retreat with Guruji in June), Guruji explains exactly what this field is.
Who among us does not have the desire to be connected to that field more often or even always, consciously? Connected to the wisdom in that field, the different energies in that field that can carry you in the play of every day. That takes practice and that is also the intention of this weekend: to increase our awareness of this field and strengthen our experience with it. This is much easier when we are physically together, which we also experienced last year in Huissen and in our meetings in Rijswijk. But above all, this will be possible because Sri Vasudeva will intensively guides this retreat virtually. He can do this just as powerfully as when he is physically present. The experience with the retreat in Canada has proven this (watch a video here in which this is shared by Guruji and participants).
Location and program
Location
The retreat takes place at a retreat center Zeist, at Driebergseweg 16a, 3708 JB. This is an 800 m walk from Driebergen-Zeist train station and bus line 50 stops almost in front of the door. Parking around the building is limited; explanation about parking will follow after registration.
Overnight stays
A limited number of sleeping places are available on site in single beds in dormitories (rooms from 3 to 9 people; indicating preferences is not possible). The cost for 2 nights is € 65,40 including VAT. You can sign up for this at registration. Of course, sleeping places at Blue Star members’ homes can also be arranged. If you would like to accommodate people, or would like to sleep at someone else’s house, or would like to rent a bungalow together with others in a park nearby, please sign up on our BSH Retreat WhatsApp community where you can arrange this among yourselves: click on the button below or scan the QR code with your phone, and then click on the Sub-group Overnight Stay.

Seva
During the retreat, we ask you to do light seva (selfless service). This allows us to keep the cost low for everyone. Moreover, this is a wonderful opportunity to use the lessons learned and the consciousness gained in activity and service. Shortly after registration, you will receive an email where you can indicate if you are physically unable to do certain seva.
Online attendance?
You can also attend many parts of the program online via Zoom if you wish. Registration is required. Get your online Zoom ticket via the Registration page at the end.
