THE FLIGHT OF THE EAGLE: Transcending the Conditioned Mind
THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED!
An online weekend workshop with Cynthia Overweg
February 6 – 8, 2026 (Fri – Sun, 10 am – 11:30 am Pacific Time)
“The beauty of freedom is that you do not leave a mark.
The eagle in its flight does not leave a mark.”
Krishnamurti
The wondrous sight of an eagle soaring high above us, beyond the turbulence of our daily conflicts and hidden fears is a metaphor that Krishnamurti used to express our longing to be free of the conditioned mind. In The Flight of the Eagle, he invites us to look at what prevents us from living in the stillness of the present moment, untethered to the past or anxiety about the future. A free online version of this book is available here.
This weekend workshop features key themes of Krishnamurti’s approach to the art of living, such as: the beauty of freedom; understanding fear and our own violence; the meaning of meditation; the mirror of relationship; the urgency of transformation; and the mystery of the transcendent. Together we will dive into what it means to be free.
Each 90-minute session integrates Krishnamurti’s fundamental insights with appropriate visuals, intervals of quietude, meditative music, and a friendly, supportive group dialogue. Join us for an exploration of inner unity in a fragmented world.
Our Facilitator:
Cynthia Overweg has been facilitating retreats, workshops and meditative inquiry for more than 25 years. She has been collaborating with the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada since 2020. Her study of Krishnamurti’s teachings began in the early 1990’s when she read Krishnamurti’s journals and was captivated by the way he intertwined his love of the natural world with searing insights into the conditioned mind. Her own inner search took on a deeper significance when she was a photojournalist during the Balkan War and witnessed firsthand the shattering impact that war has on children. The urgency of change could not have been clearer. Cynthia is the author of Silent Awareness: The Revelation That Changes Everything and the forthcoming book, Awareness Meditations.
