Christmas and New Year's Beginning in a different way...

WISDOM | here and now - Christmas Retreat and New Years Retreat

Christmas and the beginning of a new year are special times for many people - in one way or another. And for many, the question arises
how this time can be spent in the most sensible and perhaps most beneficial way, alone, with family or friends.
This retreat is intended for these people.

This pre-Christmas retreat program takes the following themes
in the center of consideration:

Love and relationship / being yourself / suffering - stress /
Compassion / family

This New Years retreat program takes the following themes
in the center of consideration:
Love and relationship / being yourself / suffering - stress /
Compassion / Family / Beginnings and Endings


Both retreats last 3 days each. Implementation guarantee from 4 people.

This is your Life!

“You see, wisdom is not a particular knowledge, nor is it
Cleverness and no measurable intelligence, it does not belong to any religion or nation.
It has nothing to do with it.
You cannot study wisdom from books or at a university.
You won't find them either when you switch from one faith to another.
And yet you need wisdom to be able to lead a good life. «

“Because wisdom begins where suffering ends.
Only you can walk this path for yourself. «

" ... What does that mean?" ... »Well, above all, it means one thing: that you ask questions. The right questions. Questions that really move you, that mean something to you. None of these superficial questions because you might find something 'interesting'. Most of the time these are totally energetic, dispassionate and meaningless questions ... Only when you ask real questions do you step out of the spiritual adjustment that entails all other adjustments, your whole lifestyle, your aspirations, what you consider worthwhile and yours whole problems. Because your problems are also part of this complete adjustment ... . «

"Why do I live with all this stress?" "Why am I doing all this to myself and to others?" "Why do I - and everyone else, have to suffer so much?" "What world am I creating here?" ... »Assume your own questions. If you don't have a meaningful question, a question that needs a real answer, a question that you are passionate about, then you can forget all efforts to change anything in your life anyway. You need a serious, real, passionate question first. Such a question is also the beginning of a good and happy life. Because only in such a question is there a key to it. «

Bernhard Kaschek during a 'questions and answers' session.

“People really want to understand; they want to understand their life ...
Many actions and thoughts are ultimately precisely geared towards this.
Aren't we always looking for reasons, for connections between the events?
So we want to understand. But nobody teaches us how to 'understand'.
But there are many others who want to convince us what to believe. «

“Understanding is crucial. How are you going to undertake even one meaningful action, even one meaningful development, if you don't understand all of this?... When the life you are, the life you lead, is so little important to you that you don't pursue it? ... True understanding always begins and ends with the fact that you have to understand yourself. In a very broad sense.

You must be fully aware of every thought, every feeling and every movement of your mind. Your fears and pleasures, your absenteeism, your sufferings ... For if this is not the case, everything else becomes meaningless and pointless. It then makes no sense to deal with 'your own development', with the wish for a better life, for inner freedom and your so-called 'spirituality'.
Or? «

Bernhard Kaschek during a 'questions and answers' session.

it's all about this
B NOW is a space in which you can see, understand and, where necessary, change the things in your life in a completely new and effective way. This can only be done in silence, in temporary retreat. Most people spend their entire lives within the limits of their own conditioned thinking and feeling. They never go beyond the very limited, fictional, fictitious sense of self of their existence that is conditioned by the past. It's not just about personal perspectives and their consequences. It is about all areas of life, your personal development, your relationships, your job, your parenting or being a child. What their life really is can only be expressed through the intelligence of silence. You will ask the crucial questions yourself and listen to your own answers.
"If I have a role in it, it is at most what every teacher should have, namely to help you remove the obstacles that stand in your way of knowing the truth. It is not about my truth It is about yours, it is about the truth that you already are today and that you basically already know what you are. "

B NOW is therefore a place for the real answer to your real questions, a place for clarification and design.


The B NOW academy program always takes place as a retreat. A retreat is an inner and outer retreat that leads to clarity and change.

Wisdom begins, when suffering ends.
Excerpt from a talk on the subject of 'wisdom'. In English.
And here you will find a new sheet from the 'Leaves'. It's about the art of listening and the art of silence.

This is your Life!
