The Power of Self-Inquiry

/in /by

This weekend residential workshop will take place August 5-7, 2011. It is facilitated by Hillary Rodrigues, whom the Centre is pleased to host again after his very well-received visit last year.

A free introductory talk on "The Power of Self-Inquiry" on Friday, August 5 at 7:30 pm in Victoria (Church of Truth) will be followed by a Saturday and Sunday workshop at Swanwick Centre.

Dr. Hillary Rodrigues (University of Lethbridge) is a professor and specialist in Eastern religious traditions, particularly Hindu and Buddhist philosophies and cultures. He has been honoured with his university’s Distinguished Teaching Medal. His books include Introducing Hinduism and Krishnamurti’s Insight. See http://directory.uleth.ca/users/rodrigues

In his earlier years, Hillary travelled extensively in the Americas and Asia, in search of meaning. During that time, he underwent a shift in consciousness that deeply affected the direction his life would take.

Prior to taking up the study of eastern philosophies, he was a teacher and administrator at a school operated by the Krishnamurti Centre of Canada at the Swanwick Centre in the late seventies. He has since then given presentations on Krishnamurti’s teachings in New York, New Delhi, and Ojai, California.

In this workshop Hillary will draw upon a combination of his knowledge and personal experience to explore ancient and contemporary approaches to self-inquiry, specifically the teachings of Advaita (non-dualism) and of J. Krishnamurti. He will situate his talks within the broader historical context of Indian philosophies in this non-academic workshop, which will include talks with question and answer sessions, video clips, opportunities for dialogue and some tranquil time in a splendid setting.

This workshop/retreat will be of interest to those wanting a deeper understanding of the roots, power and significance of self-inquiry for personal transformation.

The workshop is also open to day participants.
