October 3rd-5th 2025 in Dordogne, France
Come join us for a full weekend of satsangs and celebrations with Adrian and friends!
MEETING IN BEING
Coming together in truth, love, and friendship (satsanga) is the highest form of ‚practice‘ to realise and actualise the understanding that we all share one being.
You’ll have ample time to explore any questions during the meetings and many opportunities between them to connect with a beautiful community of truth-lovers and friends. The quality time spent in friendship between meetings is vital for actualising and embodying the teachings.
What is Loving, Embodied Non-Duality?
Loving, embodied non-duality is not mere intellectual knowledge, in fact it is not for the mind at all, but offers the actual recognition and living experience of our true, universal nature. It is liberation from the suffering and limitations of an illusory separate self.
It is the lasting peace, happiness and freedom of simply being our (true) self in every aspect of daily life, incl. our relationships, work, social interactions, etc. Truly understanding that we all share one self or being, is the end of all inner and outer conflicts and life flows naturally with ease and joy.
A key aspect of the teachings is the practical embodiment of loving awareness, particularly the meeting of painful or heavy feelings in the body. These lingering residues of separation can still have the power to veil the oneness of our (shared) being, even for those with a deep non-dual understanding.
