Auf Deutsch

Andrew Cohen’s European Evolutionary Enlightenment Intensive will be held at Germany’s ReformhausAcademy in Oberursel, at the foot of the famous Taunus mountains.

During this weekend, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in Andrew’s teachings of Evolutionary Enlightenment and discover through your own experience what it means to participate in the evolution of consciousness. With an intensive program consisting of meditation, discourse, and collective inquiry, a focused environment is generated that can bring about a major shift in perspective with the power to transform your entire relationship to life.

About 20 minutes north of Frankfurt, the academy is situated in a park next to a forest. The academy serves high-quality vegetarian cuisine. Its beautiful setting and uniquely ecological architecture and ambience make it an ideal place to be on an intensive with Andrew.
