CIRAK AT CACTUS BLOSSOM / OCTOBER 2026

Less second-guessing. More trust in your next step.

FIRST, A PARTICIPANT'S EXPERIENCE

What is it like
to be in the room?

Hear Stephanie describe her experience of retreating with Cirak, in her own words.

A personal account from an earlier retreat.

Five books. Five years of weekly teaching.

WHEN EVERY CHOICE BECOMES A DEBATE

Clarity is different from thinking of every possibility.

WHERE YOU MAY BE NOW

You reach a decision, revisit it, seek another opinion, and find yourself back at the beginning.

WHAT WE WORK TOWARDS

Recognise the noise around a choice and practise listening with more steadiness and self-trust.

Movement, awareness practice and intuition workshops help you explore the difference between a clear inner signal and the noise around it. There is time to rest, ask questions and notice how that distinction feels in your own experience.

01

Tell the signal from the noise

Explore how fear, habit and a quieter sense of knowing show up differently in your experience.

02

Make a decision with more self-trust

Practise listening before you ask the mind to weigh the same options all over again.

03

Return to clarity in real life

Take simple ways of attending to your body and experience into the choices waiting at home.

THE RHYTHM OF THE RETREAT

Less rushing to an answer. More time to listen.

The mornings begin quietly. Movement, workshops and conversation follow, with room between sessions to rest and reflect. You do not have to fill every moment.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE

A few practical
questions.

Do I need experience?

No. Beginners are welcome, and there is depth for people who already have a practice. You can ask questions and participate at your own pace.

Will I have to share personal experiences?

Group sharing is an invitation, not a requirement. There is room to listen, reflect and work quietly with your own experience.

Does requesting the details reserve my place?

No. The form sends your request to the team and gives you the booking link. Your place is confirmed when you complete the organiser’s reservation and payment process.

Do I have to be physically fit?

The emphasis is on awareness rather than physical performance. If you have an accessibility question or need a particular adjustment, contact the team before booking.

Is this about predicting the future?

The emphasis is on recognising your present experience more clearly, including the difference between intuition, fear and conditioned reactions. It is a grounded exploration, not a promise of particular answers.

What is included in the starting price?

The published starting price of $999 covers the program and meals. Accommodation choices and the complete price are shown during booking.

Are there meals and time to rest?

Vegan and vegetarian meals are part of the retreat. The daily rhythm includes personal time, and you can take space when needed.

Less second-guessing. A clearer next step.

Give your own experience a little more room than the commentary around it.
