January 6-8 at the Ojai Retreat-- the first-ever, and only, Bob Nickel Intensive
The first-ever Bob Nickel Intensive took place from 7PM Friday,
January 6 to 1 PM Sunday, January 8 at the Ojai Retreat (http://www.ojairetreat.com/).
.
The Intensive was by almost all measurements a success. Every attendee
expressed their gratitude and appreciation to Bob. A special YouTube clip about the Intensive
was produced by (attendee) Rafe Stoneman of A.H. NONPROFI. You can find it here.
Suggested donations by Intensive Participants were from $50 to $250. The donations help to cover many things, including Bob's room and meals at the Intensive, and his travel expenses to his various satsangs. Assuming his health holds up, Bob is wanted back to Oregon, northern California, and to Utah, soon.
The Intensive Schedule:
FRIDAY, 6 Jan:

To reaffirm something important,at the Intensive and otherwise, Bob does not want
anyone to go into stress or to feel pain because of giving him a donation. He'd much rather you come without giving him a
thing. "People who want satsang should get it," Bob often says. The same held true for the Intensive.
