The Connection Retreat.

The key to life is natural.


what_flower

The best thing about a Be Yourself Retreat is that everyone engages themselves with the weekend. 

On our weekends, or (as another option) after 6 phone 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 '5 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 a 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 major thrust of the retreat is to restore any relationships to their fullest most natural connection. 

We create a wonderful open space where you can get to more of who you really are. The Retreat is a very relaxed, organic, event over 2 & 1/2 days, where we go on a journey of clearing blockages, awakening potential, changing where necessary to transform and allow a greater education, information and self realisation. You will find much more of 'you' than expected. You will literally become more present. This results in a deeper, more natural connection for you within all your relationships; at work and in your life in general! Real answers and solutions are obtained. You will come away with the tools, keys, information and new friends to support your ongoing success. You will certainly get more than you came for!

You will be living at a different level after this weekend.

The weekends are good for men, women, couples and singles, young and old. The retreats are generally 50% men and 50% women. We work well with blokes due to the ‘meat and two veg' style of communication. 

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

Investment levels of $695 - $995  all inclusive of food and accommodation.

You may return on ‘team' at any time to get another level of learning for a special price of $250 (you are expected to help in the kitchen and with clean up and to participate in the retreat fully. Or you can return as a participant at half price ($350)

“Kean is one of the most "present' men I have ever met. His commitment to seeing the real you with love, compassion and empathy is unwavering. Working him one-to-one and in the group has been amazing. He de-bunks all the myths about spiritualism and the new age movement in the most playful and impacting and hilarious ways I've experienced. Thanks Kean.” Dr Vinnie Monaco

Success, happiness, purpose, love and real passion for life - stem simply from being one's self.

The Next Step Retreat starts where The Connection Retreat ends. 

The second level is called The Next Step. It is all about real flow and abundance. It is much less ‘negative’ emotion (as many old blocks arecleared at The Connection Level, and there are lots of belly laughs.) We look more clearly at our patterning, mind control and restraints. As your mind and body become free of the toxic food, thoughts, beliefs and patterns you have been operating under, you will notice what works. You get to see where you are really at, and make decisions to change your life. You become easier to talk to, less reactive, as you become more responsible and obviously 'present'. Limitations become easier to see and let go of. You now understand and embody principles, like' the mirror' and 'looking within' to truly spread your wings freely. You literally become more confident, present and successful.

The things that take one hour to learn on the first level happen in minutes on this level. This is just the beginning of you!

We assist transition to the second level via a program of 1-6 sessions, team work on The Connection Retreat and The Next Step Retreat, as well as selected books, media, and whatever works for you personally! You can achieve this level in 6 sessions, which can be costed based on the individual work need to get you up to speed.

Four main areas covered:

  • Realisation of self, to the fullest you will allow.
  • Answers to the niggling problems and blockages that still remain in your life.
  • The valuable foundational knowledge, education, information, intuitive development and intelligence you missed. 
  • Greater know how and understanding.

As the facilitation is intuitive and based on the intentions formed on the first night, we cannot honestly tell you what will happen till the retreat begins (rather like driving a car, or attending a party- we only know what to do, when faced with the experience . The Next Step Retreat is natural and mirrors life. We are open to do whatever will best serve the needs of each particular group as well as your own individual needs. The intention for the event ongoing is to maximise the growth, learning, education and understanding required. Again this is led by the intentions and pro activeness of the group. 'We remind people how to fish, so people walk away empowered.


More self = more everything!


Everyone gets a shift or level of education on the first retreat ' The Connection' that they didn't quite expect! The Next Step just takes you further into yourself!

The Art of Being (1 Week Retreat)

Jan2011-Sept2011-124-(1024x768)-(1024x768)IMG_0365-(1024x768)

I used these pictures because they show innocence and perhaps wisdom that many of us may have lost?

Unlimited Happiness - The Art Of Being

This one week retreat is a rich experience put together, to help take people to their edge, to see how much they wish to grow or even fly. It is done in the most relaxed, gentle, harmonious way you will allow. So the experience is natural.

For 18 years I have either consciously, or unconsciously been studying personal growth and self realisation. I have found some things that have helped greatly and other things that have not. I have made a point over 500+ weekend retreats, of noticing what really works, and what does not. Facilitating and learning from 100's of others' growth and development over 19 years, I have picked up a few pointers! This retreat is the best of our work.

This Art Of Being Retreat is basically 3 retreats in one. It follows the basic path of The Connection Retreat, then The Next Step -More Advanced Retreat, culminating with the most advanced personal growth work you will allow. We intentionally go through each level as quickly as the group will allow. If one person has it, we all get it, so no-one slows the group process. If we need to linger.. we do!

The Connection level is designed to clear out the deep 'weeds' we do not know we have. If you have any blockages, energy, emotion, or mind that limits you, The Connection gives you the keys to be clear of it. The Connection has three set processes of powerful self realisation, within a total of 11 sessions available, that are continually reported to be life changing.

The Next Step starts where The Connection ends. It is an educational 'feeling biased' experience, to enable one to access the advanced work on days 6 and 7. You will likely become more present, aware and conscious than have ever been after the 4th, or 5th  day. The Next Step is about permanently living in the abundant flow, created by natural connection. You will learn how to live in total love, acceptance, peace, abundance, serenity (if you will).

The advanced work happens throughout the week, but is only a focus in the last two days. It is intuitive, in the moment, created by the facilitators and attendees as needed or required. There are often guests who come to share, or support our greater movement and understanding. The emphasis is on wisdom- in flow- with experience- which fosters greater presence and knowledge... naturally. When you connect and flow you be. When you open to more, you be more. This is how we realise more potential - more of who we really are! It might sound fluffy - but that is why you come.

The purpose of the week is to get you to look within, to see that the real success has always been within. The more you develop yourself, the more you connect with and attain what was inside you all the time, you discover the key connection to all that matters to you in life. This is inner connection, a bridge to all that is. Your natural self.

The week's focus:-

The focus is on enabling natural, easy, peaceful struggle - free, love, happiness and personal success - within any context. Our intention is to focus on the innate truth of who you really are, to support you receiving the most valuable information and education you will allow. For you to absorb and integrate a richer, clearer, easier, level of life with greater connection, meaning and abundance in your relationships. As you learn how to connect deeply, the easier life becomes.

If you are interested in learning as much as you possibly can in one week, to gain real answers and deeper solutions to your life, then come and benefit from this week long experience!
If you have 'been there' and 'done that'. If you have read 'all the book's and done 'all the stuff' and are still looking for that one thing, or for that something else, to make it all click into place! If you have a long list of what you want to get for yourself, as well as a long list of questions, or you just have the inner drive to grow, and be the best you can be. If you are into real personal growth, this retreat is for you.

I have a wonderful friend, student, and teacher in Penelope Law, offering massage and relaxation throughout the week . Pen will help you to relax and nurture yourself with Kahuna, Bowen and hot rocks massage from a true master of her trade. 

On the last two days from lunch time  Saturday, to 2pm Sunday when we finish, we are fortunate to have Falu and Michael Eyre, who will be facilitating two hours of the advanced work with a talk called Struggle without agitation. Falu is easily one of the happiest people I know, and is a real influence on anyone she touches. Michael is her perfect balance, a sound, deep, wise man. Together they provide the perfect balance that any conscious relationship provides, which will enable me to witness what the group is doing, whilst I formulate the best possible culmination of our week together.

Here is what you will hear about:-

In keeping with the theme of "............................" my message is going to be on how to transform this life that is full of games we play and the different faces we portray to the world into an authentic one. Life deals cards that are sometimes struggle, sometimes challenges and sometimes what we call, adventure. We get so caught up  with all our insecurities, fear and conditioning that we make life a struggle.    Life is
not what happens to us but how we deal with what happens to us is what controls the quality of our lives.  Becoming aware of choice less awareness,. that there is only one way to do things (choice is where we get muddled up).   Whatever that action may be unless the action is full of passion, commitment and clarity it cannot be transferred to create a transformation or even  be communicated.  This will bring freedom into our lives  creating struggle without agitation.

The crucial purpose of this life in these accelerated times to to clean up the frequency at which we operate and  understand that we are an inherent part of this vast field of cosmic energy.  My talk will focus to inspire through my own enthusiasm, commitment and passion to open up  vital channels to effect the mass human consciousness and release the joy and love that we are  at all times so that we can connect with others at a deeper level.

Unlimited Happiness- Art Of Being Testimonials (new video testimonees now on this site)
No matter what part of the retreat Kean is facilitating he gives 110%. Kean is a very talented and entertaining man. His sessions are very easy to listen too. When i attended my first retreat for 6 days i was taking anti-depressant medication. I wanted to speak out so i stopped my medication a few days into the retreat, this i thought I would only be doing for a few days. I am happy to say i have not taken my anti-depressants since. This is not to say i have not had bad days but I use to have have bad days when taking the prescribed medication. I like being able to think clearer without a fog hanging in the front of my head. The invite to come back on team for 1/2 price I think is an awesome idea as we can all benefit from a top up of the previous retreats.
I thoroughly recommend any of Kean and Kaths retreats there is something on offer for everyone.
MS - Art Of Being
 
During my time with Kean and our Art of Being group I gained startling insights into my own true nature. By this occurring I now feel cleansed and filled with new inner strength and an expansion of self awareness.  This has allowed me to live more consciously and has enabled me to realize that peace of mind is an internal matter regardless of the external environment.  It is frequently more the mind not the body that is in need of healing and that healing power exists within each of us if we allow ourselves to tap into it.  The space that is held by Kean and the group dynamic at the Art of Being retreat allows this rejuvenating and empowering work to evolve naturally and to truly be achieved.  This week long experience really is life transforming,healing and most of all empowering for your innate being at the deepest level.  Learn to rediscover your "TRUE SELF" and you may be surprised with what you find I know I was and will always be eternally grateful for this.
Kean your powerful true self is with me often when I find the need to pull myself back to my centre and I am so thankful and actually feel lucky in a sense to have met you.  You have touched my whole family as you know and for this I am truly blessed.
"Truthfully with Love Always Rachel Hunter".

16 benefits of the Be Yourself - Personal and professional development body of work

  1. You achieve the results you have long been looking for. People often have a large healthy heart, body and mind openings to feel real energy whilst clearing out old habits and achieving many other breakthroughs on many levels as a direct result of this very present, powerful work.You will feel significantly more light hearted and free to be you! 
  2. You will become more present, passionate and connected to life and can therefore maintain a permanent state of greater  openness and awareness as a result. This choice will enable you to become more happy, loving, enthusiastic, contented, powerful and inspirational in your own life!  
  3. You should access and feel a deeper, wider, more connected and truthful level of communication within all your relationships. You can discover the power of your truth and of integrating your words and feeling as one, to create a greater happiness and a tool for insight just by listening to you talking! 
  4. Students balance their left and right brain, their masculine and feminine, ying and yang and other energy imbalances by opening; even their faces may change over a weekend! As a result they become more balanced, integrated, connected and flowing with others and life as a result. 
  5. Be Yourself participants make many subtle changes as they gain a greater, deeper, more present understanding of themselves and life. This  greater feeling and connection enables a fuller knowingness as well as a greater overall realisation of 'what to do with your life'. We teach people how to fish not feed them full of more facts. 
  6. You will learn how to trust your own intuition and discover "your own truth," your own way for yourself, and therefore see, "what works for” you in your own life. You will discover how to feel the natural flow of the universe flow through your own body and you will be encouraged to foster this in your own life. 
  7. You may solve or dissolve any 'ancestral pain or bloodline problems' with your parents and family so that these issues may discontinue within our generation. Stronger, happier families, friendships and more relaxed work places are a by-product of this work. The 7 Generations the mp3 and CD specifically looks at healing this metaphysical issue. 
  8. You get an "up-to-date upgrade" on your life and will learn "new information" and easy to understand skills that work in all areas of life.  These skills may be taken into business and general life to enhance any other work you are doing. You will notice habits that don't serve you anymore. Life mentoring is offered as part of our complete service. 
  9. You will understand and learn your own "how to," and what works for you "in your life", with the greater self- realisation and real personal growth and development that comes from our personal and professional development work. 
  10. You will recognise your 'own bliss' and 'greater happiness' in your life to access all the time. This enables a greater feeling of purpose in life and capacity to deal with large emotional or energy challenges. You will then have to 'do the work' afterwards to keep developing this capacity. We have specific session areas, more advanced work and a 1-year mastery group ‘The Miracle Bridge’ to achieve this. 
  11. You will see so 'much more' than expected as you develop more personal presence, strength and grounding through your own energy and emotional mastery. 
  12. You will see how to gain more clarity, confidence and certainty to make the correct, necessary and important decisions in your own life. You then gain the self-confidence to make further good choices and decisions for yourself and others as a leader from then on. 
  13. You will see how you can create sustainable change, transformation and success for yourself and therefore your workplace, family and greater community. You will see that you make a difference. 
  14. You will feel inspiration, spirit, metaphysics, universe, god  (or whatever you believe in) to support your own physical and metaphysical success. You can learn the magic of real connection for yourself and feel the contentment that comes! 
  15. You will learn the one thing that very few teachers speak of nowadays and it is the key to everything. 
  16. There will be more gains, after as well as during our work, thanks to the accelerated learning and dynamics that come from connected session or group work and from the love of two people have done this work full time for many years! 
"Many people’s purpose for living is to be happy and the key to this door is opened by being the true self!" - Kean.

Many people get more than expected, with many gains coming after working with us, as our intention is for you to get as much information, knowledge, support and understanding possible. Change, growth and personal development should keep occurring, long after.
