“After my mind became crazy with heavy self-criticism, I sat in the retreat hall with endless tears running over my face. A pain arose, about all the things that have not been said during so many years. Then back in Jared’s session, at some point I started laughing. And I just could not stop laughing. The deepening of the opening process of my heart is continuing. I have found something very precious there which had been hidden for such a long time. I am deeply touched by this and there is deep gratefulness for this experience."

Finding Refuge in Your Self
April 10 - 13
As we witness the crumbling and shifting of the world order, we can clearly see the instability of our political and social systems. The line between relative truth and lies has become blurred, and it seems nowhere is immune to this instability.
You are invited to find refuge here and now, in your own true nature. To fall into yourself is to be yourself fully, and end any idea of a separate self.
Here you find what does not come and go. Here you find the ultimate stability in emptiness, in love, in your Self.
Tuition just: NZ$425 ($382 AUD)
*Cancellation policy: If you need to cancel your registration, please email us at info@leela.org. If you cancel more than 30 days before the retreat begins (for in person events) and 14 days before (for online events) your full payment minus $50.00 will be refunded. After that no refunds are given.

Meet Jared
“Find out who you are, be yourself, then meet the world that way”
Jared met Eli Jaxon-Bear in 2009 at a retreat in Sydney, Australia. This profound meeting changed the course of his life. He is completely devoted to awakening from egoic suffering, immersing himself in the enneagram, and Leela Therapy training, as well. He is one of the founding teachers of the school, and now serves as a lead teacher, Managing Director, VP of the Board of Directors and runs the Australian operations of the Leela School.
Imagine if the whole world could find out how powerful it is to drop below the old stories we carry around. I am in awe of you and the very special gift you have and you so generously share. I am kind of speechless about the incredible change that has occurred in my life and amused at how easy it has been. Thank you for being my teacher.
