This amazing 4-day workshop is one of the most definitive events a person can participate in on the road to knowing themselves!

Enlightenment Intensives have been taking place quietly around North America and Europe for over 35 years. Recently they have been coming more and more into the public awareness as a powerful transformational tool for people seeking Deep Truth in their lives.

"Reinier doesn't make it easy,
He makes it worthwhile!" - A. Rossenberg

The core goal of this workshop is for you to have an actual Enlightenment experience... touching an experience no different than that awareness held by Christ or Buddha or Rumi; deep knowledge that all great spiritual teachers share. The amazing benefits for anyone doing this workshop are:

  • amazingly deeper awareness of Self
  • powerful improvements in your ability to truly listen to another person
  • greatly increased ability to communicate clearly to others
  • tremendous clearing of personal "baggage" and trauma
  • a huge deepening of understanding "how it is" and Truth Itself
  • and more
  • and still more!

These workshops are fully residential; you usually arrive Thursday night at 7pm and you leave the following Monday around 2pm.

That's almost 4 solid days of immersion in the Truth. No spiritual path is taught, just a simple 4 step meditation. You have 3 square vegetarian meals a day. And you will leave a much more expanded Human Being than when you arrived.


Here is what some of the Spring 2006 Enlightenment Intensive participants said about it:


"... I am absolutely loving the clearness of consciousness that I have been experiencing since the intensive. (less noise coming from my mind) I am finding it much easier to notice what is actually MY truth. The work is now to live from that. Thank you Reinier, for the tremendously loving support that you have given so freely."

Brian P.

"This has been an incredible experience!

Reinier is a master!  He caught me when my contemplations slipped off  course, encouraged me when I was feeling frustrated, and inspired me  to go still deeper when I thought I had discovered it all!

What a wonderful workshop!  Not only did I experience a taste of the  Truth, I also discovered many smaller, more practical truths about  how I can change my life for the better."

Mike G.


"Renier's (24 hour a day)deep care for his participants was a model for all who aspire to serve others in the facilitation of workshops and retreats."

Jean-Pierre L.

"Reinier puts his heart and his soul into this work and it truly shows. This is a man you can trust. He understands the terrain and I felt 100% safe with him behind the driver's wheel. Reinier will go the distance to make sure that your experience is absolutely worthwhile. I was impressed with his ability to give each individual the support that he or she needed.

On this Enlightenment Intensive I found out more about myself than I have in years of searching. I have a new understanding of who I truly am and I feel a new deep inner strength. I have a vision for my life that I seemed to be searching for. I will most certainly sign up for the next Enlightenment Intensive that Reinier leads. This man knows his stuff - He really does - and he's a natural at helping others learn about themselves and about life in a safe supportive environment. I am amazed at how much wiser I feel after four days."

"I gained so such after this E.I. with Rainier.  The clarity in guidance from him that I received was invaluable.  The clarity I gained within myself is hard to say in words, but I feel better and more grounded within myself than I ever have. 

It's amazing to see the differences I am seeing in my life.  I'm in the flow of life more, and people are responding even more positively than they were before.  I also feel a deeper sense of trust within myself and in attracting things to me.  Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!"
