 KECC Video and Dialogue Meetings

The first video showing – with following dialogue or discussion group – after the reopening of the Centre took place on Sunday, April 13, 2008. The session was facilitated by Ralph Tiller and David Bruneau, both of whom have been involved with the Centre since the early years when it functioned as Wolf Lake School. There was a good turnout of about twenty people, about half of them familiar with K’s work, some for a long time, and the rest new people curious about the teachings and the Centre. The video titled “ The Challenge of Change” provoked questions and observations and led to quite a lively discussion.

Videos with discussion were subsequently held the second Sunday of the month during May and June, suspended during the summer when other events were scheduled, and resumed in September. A series of the first ever visual recordings of Krishnamurti entitled “The Real Revolution”, a mixture of talks and interviews in California in 1966, was shown and enjoyed by participants. The themes covered were common to K’s teachings and included exploration of conflict, desire, pleasure, thought, awareness, meditation, love and transformation.
