Enlightenment Intensives were developed in 1968. Charles Berner, the originator, was looking for a way to accelerate the process of self-discovery.

Charles noticed that people who had awakened to  who they are progressed much faster in self-inquiry than those who did not.

Using the method he created, Charles found after only three days in retreat, a significant number of people were having deep experiences identical to those had by students who practiced meditation for years.

For forty years, Enlightenment Intensive retreats have supported 10,000s of people around the world to open to the truth of who they are.
