The Art of Nondual Forgiveness Retreat — 3 Days

The Art of Divine Dependency Retreat — 3 Days

If you are seeking a reset in perception

Three quiet days in the Kerala mountains to unlearn old pain and rediscover peace through nondual forgiveness. This retreat is based on the direct teachings of A Course in Miracles—forgiveness not as tolerance, but as a shift in perception that restores love to awareness. Release what you've been carrying. Remember the peace beneath all the doing.

You'll Experience:

  • Pure, nondual forgiveness practices from A Course in Miracles

  • Guided meditations and contemplative sessions

  • Emotional release through gentle self-inquiry

  • Mountain walks and mindful presence in nature

  • Practising the Presence together

  • A cosy mountain resort stay with three nourishing organic meals daily

    Perfect for: Those who have got fed up with conflicts, anxiety, confusions and chaos in their personal lives and want a restart.

Three days to explore an immersion in that sacred art: Divine Dependency—the shift from personal control to spiritual flow. You will learn how to trust the beautiful unseen divine order that guides all things.

Through silence, guided meditation, and simple living, you’ll begin to feel what it’s like to be carried—not by willpower, but by grace itself. No religion. No doctrine. Only the direct experience of guidance when we stop managing life and allow it to unfold.

Perfect for: Seekers, professionals, and sincere souls who are tired of striving and ready to trust life again. Anyone drawn to stillness, guidance, and the art of letting things be arranged by a wisdom greater than their own.

Forget screens, noise, and burnout. Live two slow days in the Kerala mountains as a weekend monk. Walk mountain trails, write your life story to heal, eat pure organic food mindfully, sleep deeply. A guided 'monk experience' to heal from the din of urban life. No need to be spiritual. Just be willing to heal.

You'll Experience:

  • Noble inner silence and digital detox

  • Cooking together in a native kitchen

  • Guided meditations on presence and rest

  • Life story cleansing through guided writing

  • Flowmotion (slow meditative movement)


Perfect for: Urban professionals, tech workers, aspiring writers—anyone carrying old stories and exhausted by city life and craving a reset in nature.

Joshua Newton
Teacher of Nondual Forgiveness

Joshua Newton is a mentor in the wisdom of nondual forgiveness, sharing contemplative writings, images, and video talks from his base in India with sincere students around the world.

Once a renowned journalist, author, and screenwriter, in 2012 he turned to a deeper vocation: the study and practice of Advaita and then A Course in Miracles. After a series of direct experiences of 'no self' in 2015 and 2017 while living alone in Bangalore, he started looking at the ACIM teachings through pure nonduality without the aid of its Christian/anthropomorphic terminology.

He founded Blisswork® as an open platform for exploring the advaita of Jesus as taught by ACIM and NTI. His teaching often draws on the raw material of his own life—failures, epiphanies, and transcendental breakthroughs—offered as parables of how the mind remembers its true identity.
