Creating Conditions of No Escape for the Egoic Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


The 7-day online retreat is designed to meet you at any stage of the spiritual journey… from the first flicker of longing to the post-awakening path of integration. A\u00a0new 7-day retreat cycle begins\u00a0every Sunday (at 1PM EST\/EDT or New York\/Toronto time) and ends every Friday, allowing you to begin at any time and synchronize with our global sangha, joining 4 hours of daily meditation, evening self inquiry dyads, and a live Q&A checkin with Dan every Tuesday.\u00a0Alternatively, if you want to do the retreat on your own without the live components, simply follow the schedule page any time. For those in other time zones, the schedule page has a time zone selector, allowing you to shift the entire retreat schedule to your local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The online “I AM” retreat is not just another course or retreat- it is deep sadhana. Sadhana is the wayless way that leads from the illusion of becoming to the simplicity of Being. At the beginning of the retreat there is an invitation to engage with the techniques offered if you are drawn to them. Before awakening, sadhana may look like practice, effort, and discipline. But each practice is a stepping stone, like a “thorn to remove a thorn”, and we eventually let go of all doing, letting go of the doer of sadhana, as we move deeper into stillness and eventually to just being<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once one has had an awakening, sadhana becomes something different; it becomes a sadhana without a doer. The practices that we do at the beginning of the retreat lead to a clearing of the mind to create the conditions for awakening. But awakening is not the end… it is the beginning of a new form of sadhana. Once you know who you are, it is about abiding as the Self, and noticing the remaining vasanas and samskaras (tendencies and patterns of the unconscious mind) that are still in play, and letting them burn up in the fire of presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Samadhi Center, we\u2019ve spent years exploring how to create the most potent conditions for true awakening. The IAM Retreat is the fruit of this exploration; a 7-day immersive online experience that runs continuously, week after week, for those called to the pathless path. This retreat is designed to create the inner and outer conditions where the egoic mind has nowhere to hide. In the silence of this container, the illusions of the separate self are gently, or sometimes radically, dismantled. The IAM retreat invites a radical letting go, and a willingness to rest in the unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Zen saying goes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAwakening happens by accident, but Sadhana (practice) makes you <\/em> accident-prone.\u201d<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n



Daniel Schmidt and the ATW team have created a sacred container for this inner work\u2026 a living field of presence where the flame of awakening is tended with care. Each week, the IAM retreat unfolds with a rhythm designed to support the sincere seeker: pre-recorded teachings distilled from years of retreats, video transmissions carrying the essence of the path, self inquiry which you will do in dyads (with partners paired using the new \u201cI AM\u201d app at selfinquirydyads.com), and a live weekly Q&A, where Daniel meets participants in real-time inquiry.

The “I AM” retreats are not about acquiring knowledge, but about transmission\u2026 about seeing clearly, together. The most potent pointers have been carefully curated to meet you where you are on the journey, whether you are just beginning or deep in the unfolding. The schedule page contains over 85 video recordings. As your remembrance deepens, the inner energy\u2026 prana, chi, kundalini, however one names it, begins to move freely, no longer entangled in the karmic knots of identification. The inner lotus is nourished and blooms are possible. Samadhi, once glimpsed as a passing state, begins to root itself as a permanent unfolding. Not a state, but an ever present dimension of bliss (called satchitananda in some traditions), which is inseparable from your true nature.

The 7 Day Online”I AM” Retreat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To truly enter this space of transformation, the IAM retreat invites a total commitment- a wholehearted willingness to engage in continuous inner practice for seven days. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not a casual offering. It is a sacred container that asks everything of you, so that everything false may fall away.
For one week, we invite you to set aside distraction, to focus your energy with single-pointed intention. The structure of the retreat is designed with precision, to create the most fertile ground for awakening to occur. When you surrender fully to the container, it becomes a mirror, a crucible, and a doorway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Awakening is not a hobby. It\u2019s not something to pencil into your calendar between your green smoothie and your evening Netflix. If the longing is real, it burns. Not like a mild curiosity, but like your very being is in flames. It is the longing that consumes the seeker… not something to add to a spiritual r\u00e9sum\u00e9.

For those who have already experienced kensho, a glimpse beyond the veil, or tasted the divine union of Samadhi, this retreat offers the opportunity to stabilize in pure \u201cI AM-ness.\u201d Here, the deeper work begins; re… cognizing and purifying the samskaras, the latent impressions and patterns that still move in the unconscious. It is in the light of sustained presence that these old patterns are seen, met, and released. This is the grace of Sadhana… the same conditions that bring about awakening are also a sanctuary for its deepening.

The perennial wisdom of the ages whispers one essential truth: \u201cDie before you die.\u201d This of course is not about physical death, but the death of the false self and the unraveling of everything you think you are. It is about interrupting the pattern of you and the habitual momentum of the egoic mind, and entering the mystery of not knowing. A pure, childlike openness. A \u201cdon\u2019t know mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A natural part of this awakening process is the unraveling of samskaras which are the deep-seated conditioned patterns that act like energetic knots, binding awareness to the illusion of separateness. These knots are often tied up with repressed emotions, unprocessed traumas, and incomplete experiences stored in the body-mind. During the retreat, as the distractions fall away, these impressions naturally begin to rise to the surface to be met in equanimity, seen clearly, and released into the light of presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not about chasing extraordinary experiences and will involve moving out of your comfort zone, but in a balanced way. Not so far out of your comfort zone that you will go into overwhelm. This is the middle way. True transformation asks that we step beyond the ego\u2019s preferences, the addiction to comfort, the avoidance of discomfort, and allow whatever arises to be held in awareness without resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pointers and practices offered during the IAM retreat are not techniques to achieve a goal. They are not meant to add more doing to the conditioned mind. Rather, they are instruments of revelation and tools that help strip away illusion, layer by layer, until what remains is the formless ground of Being: the primordial awareness that was never born and will never die.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“One must seek awakening like one with their hair on fire seeks a pond to jump into.” <\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Energetic Exchange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of the ancient traditions, we make this dharma available to everyone, and will never let money be an issue. At the same time we have discovered that when people give something in exchange, there is an energy investment and there tends to be a deeper engagement. When people get something for free, they tend to value it less. So we encourage you to make a donation, for this reason and because of the simple fact that the ATW initiative has a lot of expenses to maintain and spread these resources, creating new films and making it all available for free in over 26 languages.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n
\n

A) Recommended donation: $250.00
B) Pay it forward (cover another person’s retreat cost): $500.00
C) Financial Difficulty: $100.00
D) Extreme Financial Difficulty: whatever you can afford
E) Full Scholarships (see sign-up form for more details)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
