CONNECT FOR MORE INFORMATION
A nurturing container to gently and directly discover who you are beneath the roles, the histories, and the learned ways of being. This is an immersive, intimate attmosphere where you are invited to inquire into the truth, however your truth arrives in each moment.
Through a simple, rhythmic dyadic form — self-inquiry in pairs — the mind’s familiar stories about you begin to soften.
Nothing is forced.
Your nervous system sets the pace.
You are supported to rest, to feel, to dance, to sing and to remain in choice as the deeper current of your being comes forward.
As the old identities loosen, what many recognize is a quiet, continuous presence — aware, steady, and already whole.
Not an altered state, not an escape, but a grounded awakening that includes the human personality and it's history in compassion rather than struggle. The one who has been trying to hold everything together is finally met with kindness.
Each experience is lead by Counselling Therapist Mira Black (formal Masters training & certification by Lawarence Noyes) and supported by psychologists, counsellors, and social workers, so the journey into the unknown is held in trauma informed safety, ethical care, and skilled integration.
Tuition includes everything you'll need for this journey into #biglove: accomodations, faciliation, trained staff xy, all meals & snacks *food allergies accomodated, pre and post integration supports, ride shares and travel from airport, preparation and ongoing theraputic supports made available post intensive.

Women's Big Love Awakening
Enlightenment Intensive
WHAT IS SELF INQUIRY?
BIG LOVE Awakening
Enlightenment Intensives for Direct Realization
- a structured, immersive residential retreat-based process for the direct investigation of identity and the dissolution of ego-based self-representation. Using the time-tested Enlightenment Intensive method — sustained self-inquiry in relational dyads, periods of silence, movement, music, and a highly focused retreat container — participants learn to disengage from conditioned narratives, cognitive fusion, and role-based identification.
As identification with thought, history and personality structures loosens, awareness is recognized as primary and self-sustaining. This shift is not a dissociative state or altered experience, but a stable, embodied resting in observing presence. From this ground, the personality is no longer defended or rejected; it is integrated with increased clarity, affect tolerance, and self-compassion.
Each Intensive is mastered by Mira Black and supported by registered psychologists, counsellors, and social workers, ensuring a trauma-informed, ethically held environment that prioritizes nervous system supports, psychological safety, and post-retreat integration.
The result is a measurable movement from ego reactivity to sustained presence — an awakened state expressed in ordinary life through relational capacity, emotional range, and precise self-awareness.
This work is for those ready to move beyond insight and processing into direct realization and embodied integration of their true nature.
There comes a moment when personal growth is no longer enough — when the strategies, the insights, and even the healing journeys begin to circle the same centre.
BIG LOVE Awakening is an invitation beyond that circle.
These Enlightenment Intensives are a rare and intentional retreat environment devoted to one essential inquiry: Who am I?
Through a precise, time-tested relational method, extended periods of self inquiring contemplation, and a carefully held retreat container, illusions gather and disapate. The usual reference points — roles, history, self-images, beliefs and internal narratives — begin to soften. What remains is not an idea, imposition, or peak state, but a simple, undeniable presence:
awareness knowing itself.
A Trauma-Informed, Psychologically Grounded Container
BIG LOVE Awakening women's retreat is mastered by Mira Black and supported by registered psychologists, counsellors, and social workers. The depth of the traditional Enlightenment Intensive form is held within a field of professional ethical care, nervous-system awareness, and skilled integration support. This allows participants to move to the edge of their identity structures with both courage and safety.
The Dyad: Awakening in Relationship
At the heart of the Intensive is the dyad — a simple, powerful communication structure that brings inquiry out of abstraction and into direct encounter. Here, realization is not performed or interpreted. It is revealed, spoken, witnessed, and embodied.
Discipline and Gentleness
The schedule is focused. The intention is sincere. Distraction is set aside so that presence can deepen. In this simplicity, stillness becomes tangible and awareness becomes continuous — not as an altered state, but as the ground of ordinary life.
Integration: Living What Is Seen
A direct realization is a beginning. We place equal emphasis on the integration of insight into daily living — into relationship, work, creativity, service, and the way you meet your own mind and body.
Awakening becomes something lived, expressed, and shared.
Who This Is For
BIG LOVE Awakening is for those who feel the quiet, persistent call toward truth — beyond self-improvement, beyond spiritual performance, beyond the story of who they have been.
You do not need to be certain.
You do not need to be ready to name what you are seeking.
You only need the sincerity to look.
WHEN I DIE
When I die,
I’ll have done the work
asked of me
by the ancestry
I called on
when the ground flung
me round
with so much pain
I should have been expecting
the chaos cuz my heart heard
the warning that my ego
was to arrogant to mind.
But next time and from now on
I will follow what the Gods know
and drop down to my knees before
the fall.
I vow to listen to my Soul.
And I will LOVE more fiercely
than ever before.
Then die with nothing left untold.
I’ll sing out when the rituals unfold
to help them find the answers they
asked me for so no one has to
suffer
like
I did.
Love,
Mira
