Transform Your Personal Evolution

A WEEKEND RETREAT at BURNLAW, NORTHUMBERLAND, UK

6pm Friday 19th - 5pm Sunday 21st JULY 2024

"The main protocol we’ll practise on this retreat is the missing piece to the many therapeutic modalities I’ve studied. It's easy, can be used daily, and can transform your personal evolution."

~ Colin Ellis, Retreat Facilitator

Why Choose to Join Us for This Weekend?

You may have noticed the following...

The Emotional Charge of Past Upsets & Traumas Persist

Because the emotional charge (& behaviours) align with beliefs, which are underpinned by identification.

Core Beliefs Support Those Emotions

Mindset hacks of "Don't believe that believe this instead ", are not a method that works on anything but the most tenuous beliefs.

Identification is a Key Problem — it Forms the Ego*

Yet, to DROP my identity with those beliefs and release the emotional charge seems impossible.

* Definition of "Ego"?

"Ego" can be confusing because the word is used in different ways. See the FAQ for how Colin is using the word "Ego".

What if there is a simple protocol to cut the identification, therefore drop the belief, and release the charge of associated emotions?

What if that protocol drops the identification/belief & emotional charge in a completely natural way that’s non-intrusive, and not trying to install a different belief, nor aggressive, or magical, or require blind faith? 

A method that acknowledges the belief, emotional charge, and identity, AND frees you from them — without trying to get rid of anything or trying to change anything. Nor is it just mindfulness.

Feel the Transformation

Preparation

We shall use an (optional) enhanced version of the Melt Stress in Minutes protocol (self-administered but not tapping) — to loosen the grip of our emotional ties to the problem — in preparation for the main protocol.

We shall also use meditation to uncover your True Nature - peace, contentment, & openness.

Main Protocol

A simple protocol to untie your identification with problematic beliefs, etc. A mental/emotional process.

Support

We shall use meditation to focus your attention to make it work faster. And we shall practise a lot of self-care to honour and nurture yourself through the transformation. This includes delicious, wholesome, nutritious vegan & vegetarian food.

Please tidy up after yourself.

Please follow instructions at the end of the retreat so Colin doesn't have to clean up.

What else to expect

Burnlaw Retreat was owned by Quakers, but now owned by a community of Baha, so quiet, spiritual energy is baked into the fabric of the land.

Please turn off your mobile.

The amenities are rustic, and basic, but clean.

Mobile signal is mostly non-existent, and there is no wifi. No alcohol permitted.

Who is the Retreat Leader?

Colin Ellis (aka pen-name QC Ellis) is known as a maverick, who wrote the book: "There Are Only 7 Ways to Meditate'' where he outlines the IntrAnaut Meditation framework.

Despite his logical mind and scepticism, Colin has found himself travelling a path of Self discovery and awakening.

His 'spiritual' journey started in the '90s, when he decided to learn Spiritual Healing (via the NFSH), then meditation via the local Buddhist centre.

He also ventured into learning therapeutic modalities (TFT, EFT, NLP, Sedona Method, etc., etc.), simply because it might help him and others.

Colin's journey toward awakening - which he says is more of an "unconscious path to awakening" has had many twists, including:

  • 3, 6, 9, and 12 month meditation retreats in solitary & silence before realising Buddhism was not HIS path - although the teachings are amazing;

  • attended (and assisted on) many

    Enlightenment Intensives (EI);

  • learning from the founder of the

    Satori Protocol (an offshoot of the EI);

  • and others (e.g., he got his chakras ripped out by a Shaman. LOL).

At 60 years, he would love to facilitate this retreat with you so we can all evolve together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the outcome of using the main protocol?

If you drop your core beliefs and their identifications (and the emotional charge and behaviours) from your problematic (ego-driven) parts, this leads to real, experiential, personal evolution.

What is your definition of "Ego"?

Colin's uses the word "Ego" to mean: the sum of all your beliefs about who and what you are.

Whatever words come after "I am..." is a belief relating to your identify. All these identifications build your Ego (a mental construct).

Colin believes there is a part of each of us that is deeper than the personality (a term, synonymous with Ego), which he calls your True Self (beyond physical and mental reality).

Some people want to make their mistaken (apparently unhelpful) beliefs about themselves (the Ego) - into the enemy.

Colin believes in Non-Violent Communication, and this also relates to how you treat every part of yourself - including any 'unhelpful' part of your mind, emotions, or behaviour.

What about after the retreat weekend?

The retreat is highly practical, with simple but profound techniques you may use on yourself on a daily basis. You shall also receive FREE additional support after the event via intrAnaut.app (or download the mobile app from https://intrAnaut.space ). The app, website, and membership is FREE to you now. But retreat participants shall be given access to a special, VIP membership.

If you have the means, there is also 1-1 coaching available. Group coaching could be arranged if enough people want it.

Where does the main protocol come from?

In recent decades, just as there has been an explosion in computer capability, there has been a revolution in therapeutic techniques that are faster and more effective than ever. There has also been an evolution in the way people can experience Satori (of who you are — I AM THAT) — and the founder of the Satori Protocol taught Colin.

This method releases your identifications, then takes you further. It is experiential, non-invasive, no faith is required, and you can do it in a meditation (without visualising), or outside meditation.

Once you learn the protocol, you can use it by yourself (no facilitator/therapist/coach is required). To clarify: Colin will only coach you on a part of the Satori Protocol, so you can use that part on yourself.

Are you claiming I'll be enlightened?

No. It depends on your definition of enlightenment. Colin can only claim you will have a unique and exceptional tool to transform your personal evolution. Colin believes; dropping one's core beliefs and identifications is a major breakthrough toward transforming your life.

For him, to share with you a protocol where there is no mental cutting/deleting/attacking parts of yourself, is non-intrusive, no blind faith is required — and actually works — is amazing! Let's evolve together.

You said the main protocol is easy. Why don't you just tell me how to do it?

Colin is busting to tell you! However, his experience has shown him that a quick, easy technique will be dismissed by the Ego. In fact, there is a psychological name for how that happens, called the "Apex Problem".

  • You need to experience it - not just once, but several times - to really see clearly the evidence of it working. To gather the evidence so you know it wasn't just a fluke, nor a situational thing that will never occur again...

  • Because it is so easy, people tend to complicate it, so we need time to iron out that temptation.

  • Because it is so profound in its outcomes, parts of us might feel they are being attacked. That's why Colin is putting a lot of emphasis on nurturing, through the enhanced melt-stress protocol, but also the whole retreat.

  • The other tools make the protocol quicker, and help with any overwhelm - therefore they are a part of the package.

  • Although you will have several tools to use daily, people will generally need a kick-start to move forward. Let's get you past the inertia of starting something new, and motivated to transform your personal evolution!

Are there any prerequisites or preparations?

Yes. You need to be of sound mind and body. The retreat centre has stairs to the main meditation space (no wheelchair access). Talk to Colin if you are unsure about mental health issues (anxiety or stress are not necessarily an issue).

Colin will hold a workshop to prepare you with an Advanced Melt Stress in Minutes protocol — so you don't have to learn it on the retreat, but can use it to prepare.

Become a member of the FREE app (or go to Colin's class) to learn to meditate (not essential, but will help everything work better during the retreat).

The basic Melt Stress in Minutes (MSIM) is on the app now. You will be given FREE access. The Advanced MSIM will be added, and retreat participants will be given FREE access.

What about food? Can you cater for my diet requirements?

Maybe. You are asked not to fast during this weekend retreat. If you have a particular intolerance/allergy, please let Colin know ASAP. Unless someone says they are allergic - to nuts for instance - then the chef will bring and cook with nuts, so when you get there it will be too late to mention it.

No special diets, unrelated to life-or-death allergies, will be catered for. You are welcome to bring any extra food or snacks & drinks (no alcohol).

The chef will cook mostly vegan recipes, with some vegetarian options. There will be coffee & teas, oat-milk, and cows milk.

Breakfast is self-service, with porridge, breads, butter, eggs, & beans, and anything people bring to share (no meat).

I have more questions

You will be given full instructions, and there will be lots of opportunity to ask questions during the retreat. Colin will also create opportunities to discuss the Enhanced Melt Stress in Minutes protocol, and answer other questions via Facebook Lives, etc. Like/Follow @intranautacademy
