Synchronicity Spring Mastery Retreat, 2007

Synchronicity’s Spring Mastery Retreat was held May 20th – 27th, 2007 at the Sanctuary Retreat Center, featuring Master Charles dialoguing on the theme: Celebrating Divine Life. In attendance were many first-time retreat participants from all over the world. The beautiful spring weather combined with the Sanctuary’s ethereal vibration of holistic empowerment to create a heavenly environment in which to explore the subtlest dimensions of meditative experience and spiritual discourse.

The Mastery Retreat is an in-residence, week-long experience open to Recognitions Associates and focused on daily sessions with Master Charles. These evening sessions alternate between advanced interactive dialogue and Stillpointe Sessions in which

participants have the opportunity to meditate in duration in Master Charles’ enlightening presence – an unparalleled experience of subtle-dimensional actualization and holistic fulfillment. During the morning and afternoon, retreatants meet in group sessions with Synchronicity staff facilitators for a wide range of integrative and supporting activities that include sharing and dialoguing meditative experience; conscious movement and breathing; Qi Gong; Laughter Yoga; and much more.

Among the highlights of each day’s schedule is a meditation at the Pavilion (Blessed Mother Apparition site), a sacred and miraculous experience.

In the opening evening, Master Charles introduced and brilliantly elucidated the theme: Celebrating Divine Life, setting the intention for the week. He emphasized that the experience of Divine life is existential rather than conceptual and is based upon the palpable, subtle vibration that is wholeness or unified consciousness lived as a constant.

The celebration of Divine life is a holistic experience – an experience of unified consciousness – One Consciousness in the recognition of itself.

He went on to emphasize from his own Sourceful perspective:

The ultimate truth is non-dual. There is only One. The experience of it is an experience of itself within itself that is inherent within it. Source, God, life is interchangeable – it’s one reality, the celebration of which is experience. In this regard, I can only speak from my own experience.

The role of the Master was then addressed in relation to assisting others in creating such Sourceful possibility for themselves. Playfully, Master Charles began by referring to the analogy of cookies:

What do cookies have to do with relative reality? Everything. What would life be without cookies? Cookies / cookie dough – same essence – different forms…

I exist in this form to model holistic experience. That’s my role – a palpable power that validates my words. Masters are always models of life divinely lived and experienced.

Masters exist to assist… to demonstrate the truthful experience of reality and guide people to the same experience for themselves.

Master Charles then brought the discussion to its essential and concluding point by delineating the role of the disciple:

In all, the Spring Mastery Retreat, 2007 was a most empowering week and one in which new levels of holistic awareness and fulfillment were actualized for all participants.
