How long has it been since you had a quiet moment to listen to your inner voice? Mere minutes after completing one task, the next business trip, the following day’s meetings are already on the calendar.
When you take your tired body home, you find your family sleeping peacefully. As the neon lights illuminate the room, you want to take a moment to slow down and catch your breath ...
Mere minutes after completing one task, the next business trip, the following day’s meetings are already on the calendar.
There are many ways to save time and improve efficiency. Business jets, also known as time machines, are one such method. However, when you board the aircraft and take flight, you often find that the scenery outside is little more than a distraction. Instead, you open your computer, stare at the program, glancing out of the window only occasionally, lost in thought for a moment.
Do we ever question ourselves, is endlessly being busy and always being online actually effective?
Together with OCTAVE Institute, APERTUS introduce to you SANGHA Retreat, a place where you can regain joy and peace of mind.
“定”
Take a break from your busy life,
go places you haven't been before,
meet people you've never met before,
observe landscapes that only appear in your dreams,
let THE body and heart live in peace
The ubiquity of mobile internet has spawned an “always online” culture, working – anytime, anywhere.
We can never seem to stop: we can’t stop working, meetings, being available on WeChat 24 hours a day. We are sleepwalking through life and our minds are lost … Excessive busyness and always online having also generated numerous undesirable consequences physically, emotionally, and overconsumption to our mental inner balance.
Our hectic lifestyle causes poor health placing a huge burden on the body. In turn, stomach disease and cardiovascular become more common, with worse ailments potentially on the horizon. People who are physically and psychologically overloaded can become struck by emotional paralysis, that is, their ability to interpret emotions is sharply reduced, leaving them unable to perceive their own and others’ emotional needs, or even misread the emotions of others, resulting in unnecessary friction.
The Mindful Living Program by Octave Institute is a comprehensive program that draws on cutting-edge global research on positive thinking, while also incorporating meditation and other Eastern mind-body practices. Octave uses scientific testing to promote the in-depth study of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and quantum science, on a path that integrates the East and the West, to create a new practice method to comprehensively solve the urgent physical and mental problems of urban people.
The program is a system that teaches positive thinking practices specifically tailored for the urban population, with not only self-healing exercises that address poor physical health, but also a series of methods specifically for spiritual learning, awareness, and internal observation, thus bringing everyone to discover their deepest selves and possible even their heavenly destiny. In turn, it will get rid of that feeling of inefficient repetition and relieve people of the pressure they feel to run around after money, promoting happiness and enthusiasm in their place
In terms of specific practices, most traditional Chinese practices preach austerity, but this is clearly a major departure from accepted modern lifestyles. Drawing on the traditions of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, Octave places more emphasis on contemporary experiences and realities and proposes the concept of positive thinking and joyful practice.
Under one roof – Town Hall, The Sanctuary, The Auditorium, AT ONE Clinic and the AT ONE Healing Spa – Octave provides a safe space in which to live, eat, relax, entertain and enjoy the experience and practices.
The superior quality of food and drink, the pleasure of sharing with peers, and the wisdom absorbed during the learning process all bring the concept of Mindful Practice to life, making it unique to Mindful Living.
