Weekend Retreat with Rupert Spira on Video

The Direct Path to Peace and Happiness
Weekend Retreat with Rupert Spira
December 8-10, 2017

This weekend retreat involved a video presentation of a retreat given in Amstersam in March of this year. The nine participants who attended our retreat were able to immerse themselves in the teaching and guidance provided by Rupert Spira, well respected teacher of Advaita Vedanta practice, on the subject of self-inquiry. The sessions included guided meditations and explorations of the nature of awareness and the significance of realizing it as our true nature. There were also plenty of questions from his audience that were brilliantly responded to by Rupert. He gave some simple and effective direct ways of bringing attention to awareness and its unlimited, unbounded nature. Participants remarked that his clear and precise mode of communication makes what he is pointing to very comprehensible and available.
Two short videos about Krishnamurti and his teachings were shown on Saturday evening: an introduction by Professor Alan Anderson and a BBC interview with Bernard Levin. Both are excellent and instructive presentations. A guided meditation was led by David Bruneau on Saturday evening. The weekend also included time for walks and quiet contemplation as well as opportunities to dialogue within the group and share informally. Delicious meals were provided by Pearson College. The chance to meditate without distraction on the truths of such beautiful teachings and to benefit from the good company of other contemplators was much appreciated by all.
