“Being Absolutely No One and No Thing”

When we know that we are no thing, we are free to be as we are – both as spacious, loving awareness and as unique, individuated being. Through silent and guided meditations, a talk, meditative inquiry, and experiential conversations in community, we will explore seeing and feeling through who we have mis-taken our self to be and discovering what remains.

John Prendergast, Ph.D is a spiritual teacher, retired psychotherapist, and retired Adjunct Professor of Psychology at CIIS, well known for his pioneering work in integrating non-dual wisdom and psychotherapy. He studied with the European sage Jean Klein for many years, as well as with Adyashanti, who gave him dharma transmission in 2023. He is the author of The Deep Heart (2019), In Touch (2015), and a new book, Your Deepest Ground: A Guide to Embodied Spirituality (March, 2025) from Sounds True.
