All the great teachers all said the answer to life was to find your true self.

Being yourself is your purpose and what we are actually all here for. I know it's hard to believe it's that simple, the answer to your whole life is being yourself! But sit here and digest this statement and feel what I am saying and ask yourself, does this solution make sense?

Being yourself is your purpose for living and the connection to everything you could want!

All problems are fed by our perceptions. Do you think that you are less than some people, and better than others? Do you use your car, house, education level, clothes, size of your thighs (are you squirming yet?!) as units of measurement? Comparing is such an ingrained habit, we barely notice we are doing it, and we would be shocked to find out what it is doing to our lives.  All real happiness, abundance and success come from inside, and cannot be experienced and lived while we are looking to the neighbours or the newspapers for our sense of stability or connection. 

The Connection Retreat is all about you being your true self to enjoy the richness, happiness, love, and abundance that comes with true connection.

12 things we facilitate for you:-

-clearing emotional blockages               -better sex and relationships           -feeling fantastic in your body.

-greater trust in self                                -at least 3 improved connections   -increased self confidence

-greater self worth & strength                -inner peace and contentment        -correct work-life balance

-greater knowhow and energy                -increased integrity & wisdom        -any and all realistic change require

“If you have any idea of what you are searching for, you will achieve it if you are more present. I love the old shaman who ‘christened’ my daughter. He looked deep into her being and said, "I see you." This is when one actually sees and feels another; it is deep. If you can name what you are looking for and can sense, feel, decide and act, then you have what is needed to get it with us on a Be Yourself weekend. When you are courageous enough to be real, all success flows right through you. When you are in 'The Connection', when you are truly being, then you will know what to do with your whole life!

“We have worked with beginners to 30 year experienced workshop facilitators (even one Nobel Prize winner ). We have had 100+ facilitators of other work come through The Connection weekend as well as hundreds of 'everyday' people,” Kean.

'The Connection' is a retreat where people come together to achieve a minimum of 3 things:-  

1) To find the courage to be themselves no matter what. To learn the keys, to create real happiness and success from within!

2) To improve all connections, to enjoy more love and abundance in all relationships/work/life.

3) To literally improve oneself in one weekend. To raise more awareness, to balance and deepen your understanding, so you are more present and successful with your family, home, and at work.

 On this retreat you will receive information that works in life, to generate the personal growth, change, and real transformation you require. You will feel and know how to increase the real flow of love and abundance or any other connection that matters to you in your life.

 Be Yourself. 'The Connection' Retreat.   

Be Yourself - 'The Connection' Retreat is a reality check and one of the most valuable things you can ever do. You are (unless already enlightened!), missing the fullness of a number of key connections, that easily allow the richness of life to flow through you, in the form of health, wealth, love and abundance! The Connection retreat is about you becoming more present, to notice and strengthen any missing connection, so you literally connect again to become happier and more successful in your  life.

The retreat is run by Kean and Kathleen Buckley who between them have 500+ weekends experience and are leading speakers and educators at many of the leading festivals between Byron Bay and the Sunshine Coas,t Australia; specialising in relationships and personal and spiritual development, centering on mind body spirit connection: using whatever will work for each group they work with. They are loving, relaxed, passionate and motivated people. You will strengthen at least 3 important connections on this weekend and yes it will change your life!

It really is best you call to get a sense of Kean’s knowhow. When you connect with Kean in person or over the phone, you will know he can help with much more than we can write on a website. So call 07 5476 2626 or 0431 778 778. Kean is happy to call you straight back if you need him to.

The only thing we ask you to do, is listen, engage and try the weekend on. Put yourself first, for at least 2 full days. Make your personal growth and continuing education important to you. If greater connection and presence is advantageous to you, how valuable would it be for you to be completely connected to what matters? Would this change your life for the better? Imagine always feeling a great love, abundance and connection with everything. Imagine peace and ease in your life. You will be living at a different level after this weekend.

Think of three things that are worthwhile to you. Something not material, like a new car! We are looking for the part of you that will be happy, abundant and peaceful whether you have a shiny car or not. And funnily enough, once you connect with your true self, you will have so much energy that the new car will be much easier to acquire!

Look in your family or home life for something you would like more or less of. Stick to three things, write them and get a good feel for them.

Would you really like to change your life, to be able to connect with other people on a much deeper, more 'real' level?  

 Well, we really want to work with you! We will help you achieve as much as you will let us in one weekend, or through a series of sessions. All we ask is that you put in your 100%!  The least you will come away with, is the relevant information and a real education to understand 'what works in life for you', as well as the mechanics of how to get any realistic goal or solution sooner.

 On our weekends, or after 6 sessions, our average client has realised at least 80% of all realistic intentions set and much, much more due to the dynamics of committed group interaction, where everyone brings '3 goals they want to achieve' or 'problems they wish to clear'. The extended benefit to you is obvious and the potential growth exponential. This method greatly adds to your experience, connection and understanding of others in life too! 

'The Connection' has a deep intent to take a group of people in one weekend to a 'greater level of connection and realisation' with whatever matters to them, no matter what level they are presently at, so they leave the weekend with the feeling of how to attain what matters to them in their life (as it changes!). The weekend is transformational and is as beneficial as you make it. The important information and education on the weekend is invaluable and the gains long term and real. 

The teachings are embodied, you will feel the truth and get a sense of them within you, and your job as to act on what you feel will work for you. Though the course is run mainly by Kean with Kathleen in support, you will enjoy the presence of Kathleen who will be in many of the group processes  to support your journey, education, personal growth and development. Kathleen will lead at least one group share and is available for support in the many break-out times used for relaxation and integration, as is Kean. Kathleen also offers two yoga classes, guided meditation and support at meals and is provides balance and perspective to your weekend experience.

The weekend suits these types of people:-

1) You have been there done that and after all this time, relationships and, or life, still really isn't working for you.

2) You have a hidden or unconscious blockages and if you could just clear them out, you would fly or fly faster, you know you would!

3) You are just not sure the relationship you are in is working, you need something to see if you should stay or go.

4) You do not feel strong emotionally within relationship, work or family situations. Things get to you and get you down, you get stressed, tired, irritable, depressed and you want solutions.

5) You are flying in life and you just want a few more tips, a bit of platinum or gold to just make things go even smoother. You understand the benefit of growing yourself personally.

6) You are into spirituality and the metaphysical world and you want to get as much information in the course and breaks as is humanly possible.

7) You love life and want to be all you can, to live as fully as you can, for whatever purpose you have. 

The weekends are good for men, women, couples and singles, young and old. The retreats are generally 50% men 50% women. We work well with blokes due to the ‘meat and two veg' style of communication. We speak in plain english! Many people report a new relationship happening quickly for them after the weekend, even with their partner of many years!!!

Kean and Kathleen Buckley are the founders of the Be Yourself personal and business programmes.

 You are most welcome to come and do the 'Be Yourself -The Connection' Retreat, in its new format, to discover your own unique and natural connection to what is. The retreat now offers a priceless book of knowledge and powerful processes (available from April Connection Retreat, $50) as well as giving a life changing CD to practice as part of Be Yourself's ongoing commitment and further education. These products will help you find more of yourself, as well as cement many more gains than you will achieve on the retreat, as the booklet has more information than can be covered on the weekend.  

This retreat can be taken as professional development, based on skills learned applying to both individual and business.
