An invitation to pause, explore the nature of mind and rediscover who we truly are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cWho am I?\u201d<\/strong> is a question that strikes directly at the heart. For anyone exploring inner awakening, the nature of life, or the ultimate meaning of existence, it is an unavoidable inquiry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To investigate the \u201cself\u201d is not a casual philosophical game, but a journey into seeing how all misunderstandings rooted in the ego become projected outward and extended into <em>samsara<\/em> \u2013 the endless cycle of confusion and suffering repeated lifetime after lifetime. Only when the dream is seen through can the suffering within it naturally dissolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this retreat we will explore the truth of the self together. Through meditation, painting, seated Zen practice, movement, deep listening and other multidimensional exercises, we will uncover more of life\u2019s hidden mysteries. This is not a rigid or conventional meditation retreat \u2013 everything unfolds in a spirit of playfulness, vitality and inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ky-teacher.jpg\" alt=\"Seated meditation during the retreat\" class=\"wp-image-796\" width=\"275\" height=\"376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ky-teacher.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ky-teacher-219x300.jpg 219w, https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ky-teacher-747x1024.jpg 747w, https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ky-teacher-768x1052.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ky-teacher-44x60.jpg 44w, https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ky-teacher-293x400.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The retreat is led by <strong>Zhang Dase (Maha Ruba)<\/strong>, an artist and guide of inner growth with over twenty years of meditation practice in Tibetan regions and founder of the <em>Awake Art<\/em> system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Practical information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Dates:<\/strong> 28, 29 and 30 August 2026<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Schedule:<\/strong> each day 10:00 AM\u20131:00 PM \/ 3:30\u20136:30 PM<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fee:<\/strong> \u20ac 300 (includes tea breaks and use of painting materials)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Merigar G\u00f6npa, Italy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Registrations:<\/strong> dynamicelements@yahoo.com<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-1\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/dynamicelements.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/know-yourself-meditation-retreat-2026.pdf\" style=\"border-radius:8px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#0e7490\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">\ud83d\udcc4 Download the poster (PDF)<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"mailto:dynamicelements@yahoo.com?subject=Registration%20Know%20Yourself%2028-30%20August%202026\" style=\"border-radius:8px;color:#ffffff;background-color:#e8662a\">\u2709\ufe0f Register by email<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>An event organised by Dynamic Space of the Elements ETS.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Know Yourself \u2013 Emptiness &amp; Awareness is a 3-day meditation retreat taking place at Merigar (Italy) on 28, 29 and 30 August 2026.
