Non-Duality
Retreat in Brussels
Dec. 6-7, 2025. A weekend immersion in nondual awareness, exploring consciousness through direct inquiry
The Journey Within
Perhaps you've been seeking for years, attending workshops, reading books, watching videos— yet something still feels incomplete. The glimpses come and go, but the felt sense of separation persists.
Why This Retreat?
Perhaps you've been seeking for years, attending workshops, reading books, watching videos— yet something still feels incomplete. The glimpses come and go, but the felt sense of separation persists.
Unlike our online sessions and satsangs, this in-person retreat offers the profound depth that only comes from being physically present together. The shared space, collective energy, and face-to-face inquiry create conditions for breakthroughs that simply cannot happen through a screen.
This retreat offers sustained immersion in direct inquiry over two full days. Not more concepts to understand, but a genuine dissolving of the one who seeks to understand. Together in Brussels, we create space for the illusion to be seen clearly and for Truth to reveal itself— not as an idea, but as your living reality.
Who Should Attend?
This retreat is for you if you're experiencing a strong calling to understand your true nature— whether you're new to nonduality or have been exploring for years.
You may feel stuck, confused, or in what some call "the dark night of the soul." Or perhaps you've had profound glimpses but can't seem to stabilize in that recognition.
Most importantly: You're ready for radical honesty, willing to question everything, and prepared to let go of who you think you are. And you're ready to show up in person for this rare opportunity to gather with a small group of sincere seekers in an intimate setting.

About Terrence
Terrence Stephens guides seekers through direct inquiry into the nature of consciousness and nondual awareness. His approach is practical, radical, and uncompromising—cutting through conceptual understanding to reveal what is already present.
With years of experience facilitating individual sessions and group retreats, Terrence creates a space of stillness and sincerity where the seeker and the sought can dissolve into simple being.
These retreats are not about acquiring knowledge, but about seeing through the illusion of separation and recognizing what you have always been.
