I still practiced everyday at the best of my ability and feel therefore that it suits more in that section than in the next. I plan to complete this last set during the period between this three year retreat and the next.

|othercommunitywork=I have been participating to different student projects promoting nature and literature during my College years. I also participated in the foundation of a new alternative high school in Brussels in 2017-2018, le Lycée Intégral Roger Lallemand. If I was paid, it was also a community work in which I gave myself fully and intensely, much more than one would do for a normal job. We were creating a very new way of teaching, and it was a beautiful year. The school has been growing since and has currently over 700 students, who have the opportunity to learn and study in an environment that promotes openness, kindness and sharing.

|othermoney=I will work during the months in between this three year retreat and the next one in order to pay for my extra costs (donations, health assurance etc.).
|letterofmotivation=Spending the last three year in retreat in Gomde Pyrénées enabled me to change a lot. I went through many different phases, learned many lessons and I am immensely grateful towards the Tsadra Foundation for having supported me into that process. It was meanly a deep emotional healing, grounding, and settling down work. Somehow, these three go hand by hand. There is no true calm without seeing through our neurosis, and no better way to tame our demons that going back to the body, where the strong emotions begin and from where we can welcome our feelings with acceptance and openness. Then only can we access our true home, in a grounded body, an open heart and a calm mind.

I am glad I did this work. There was no way around, and it was very necessary. But now, I long to stay in retreat for another three years in order to go deeper, further. To transform the mind, and the heart, we need a lot of time. I feel the urge to sit for many more sessions, days, weeks, months and years. To allow the time and the blessings of my teacher to help me to open more and more often to that space that is my inherent nature ; and to get so used to it that it becomes my state, my landscape, my home. I want to attain stability and from that space, that is clear, loving and free of ego clinging ; help others to free themselves too. And it doesn’t matter if I reach results in this life or another. I have trust in karma and in the power of my intentions and aspirations.

I can also see how my practice has improved over the time and I can't wait to go again through the different practices of our retreat program, especially the Ngöndro. They will have a totally different flavor now that I matured a bit and it will be very joyful to have the opportunity to understand those better and deeper.

I know by experience that retreat is not always easy, especially the first year. We were the first group and we had to settle everything, which means we had a lot of challenges, made a lot of mistakes, learned a lot from them, and improved over the time. I hope that thanks to the little of experience I gained, I can help the newcomers to have a smoother retreat. It can be just by listening to someone going through difficulties ; being there, with a smile. I think it can help a lot just to have a few people around who already did a long retreat. Group retreat are a formidable opportunity to develop Bodhicitta, right here, right now rather than keeping it as mere words on a cushion towards distant fellows.

It is my sincere wish to dedicate my life to the Dharma and I hope that the Tsadra Foundation will support me to do so for another three year retreat.

It was meanly a deep emotional healing, grounding, and settling down work. Somehow, these three go hand by hand. There is no true calm without seeing through our neurosis, and no better way to tame our demons that going back to the body, where the strong emotions begin and from where we can welcome our feelings with acceptance and openness. Then only can we access our true home, in a grounded body, an open heart and a calm mind.

I am glad I did this work. There was no way around, and it was very necessary. But now, I long to stay in retreat for another three years in order to go deeper, further. To transform the mind, and the heart, we need a lot of time. I feel the urge to sit for many more sessions, days, weeks, months and years. To allow the time and the blessings of my teacher to help me to open more and more often to that space that is my inherent nature ; and to get so used to it that it becomes my state, my landscape, my home. I want to attain stability and from that space, that is clear, loving and free of ego clinging ; help others to free themselves too. And it doesn’t matter if I reach results in this life or another. I have trust in karma and in the power of my intentions and aspirations.

I can also see how my practice has improved over the time and I can't wait to go again through the different practices of our retreat program, especially the Ngöndro. They will have a totally different flavor now that I matured a bit and it will be very joyful to have the opportunity to understand those better and deeper.

I know by experience that retreat is not always easy, especially the first year. We were the first group and we had to settle everything, which means we had a lot of challenges, made a lot of mistakes, learned a lot from them, and improved over the time. I hope that thanks to the little of experience I gained, I can help the newcomers to have a smoother retreat. It can be just by listening to someone going through difficulties ; being there, with a smile. I think it can help a lot just to have a few people around who already did a long retreat. Group retreat are a formidable opportunity to develop Bodhicitta, right here, right now rather than keeping it as mere words on a cushion towards distant fellows.

It is my sincere wish to dedicate my life to the Dharma and I hope that the Tsadra Foundation will support me to do so for another three year retreat.
