Description of the Retreat

Profound Rest Retreat is a collaboration between Paris Ackrill Co-founder of Avalon Wellbeing Centre and Cornelius O’Shaughnessy founder of Bodhimaya – a 6-night immersion within the exquisite sanctuary of Broughton in Yorkshire providing an opportunity for a deep reset. With 3-days of silence and supportive practices to unwind the mind-body and to ignite the soul, this journey is designed for you to rest and revel in the fullness of your true nature, helping you move you into a deep state of coherence and embodied peace.

Profound Rest and the Path to Enlightenment

After the experience we have all had over the last two years, and as the world lurches from one crisis to another, we all feel the need to step away and find peace. Not relaxation, not de-stressing, not a holiday, but deep and profound rest.

This intensive retreat is designed to bring the mind into a state of profound rest.

But what is rest?

Rest not only gives us peace in amongst our troubles and deep relaxation for the mind, it does something far more mysterious and enlightening, it allows us to see reality more clearly.

Religions, philosophies, and paths are an attempt to understand, realise and connect with the true nature of reality. At their culmination, every path to enlightenment brings us to the perception of reality as it is, beyond our ideas about it. This happens because the mind is bought into a state of profound rest and silence. In this rest and silence our mind bursts through the limitations of our thinking, beliefs, and ego into a deep, mystical, and incommunicable union with life.

During this retreat we will bring the mind to deep rest and silence through meditation, enquiry, uprooting resistance and grasping, letting go of desire, allowing suffering to crumble by bathing in wisdom and by turning the mind inwards towards the simple experience of awareness and this present moment.

By the end of this retreat, you will see that profound rest isn’t just something you are craving because you are stressed, you are yearning for it because it is the way home.

Teacher/Teachings

Paris Ackrill

Paris is committed to a path of self-realisation and inner evolution which is based on welcoming both the divine and human aspects of ourselves. In this way can begin to truly know and befriend ourselves, to intimately know our humanness alongside awakening to our extraordinary divine nature. Paris wholeheartedly believes that the more we can embody peace, the more we can share it out in the world. Holding space to explore new fields of reality and connect to the fire of our sacred presence through meditation, movement and sound… to assist in heart-mind coherence and connection with our innate wisdom.

Cornelius O’Shaughnessy

Cornelius has studied the mind, meditation and Eastern philosophy for over 26 years and has deep insight into some of the more complex and misunderstood aspects of Eastern philosophy and meditation. What he teaches is regarded as the most direct path to enlightenment. It is an ancient, intense and immersive method of self-realisation that uses wisdom and insight to change the way people see themselves, others and the world around them. The knowledge and experience he has gained over the years has given him a deep insight into the human condition and a unique ability to help others find peace of mind.
