SUMMARY:Rupert Spira ~ The Essence of Non-Duality - In-Person & LIVESTREAM Daylong
DESCRIPTION:Registration is now closed for in-person attendance to this event. \nLivestream Sliding Scale: $40 to $60 per person. \nREGISTER for LIVESTREAM &\nRECORDING ACCESS\nLink to access recording will be emailed to those registered for Livestream & Recording Access \nSince the in-person event is SOLD OUT\, we are offering Livestream access to make it available to more people. This “registration” can also be used for people who wish to receive access to the video afterwards. \n“Meditation is what we are\, not what we do; the separate self is what we do\, not what we are.” \nIn the last few years Rupert Spira has become one of the most respected and sought-after teachers of non-dual wisdom\, known for his crystal clear use of language\, laser-like intellect\, skillful guided inquiries\, and powerfully direct pointing to aware presence—all delivered with warmth\, wit and an unmatched and distinctive eloquence. \nIn his meetings\, Rupert explores the perennial\, non-dual understanding that lies at the heart of all the great religious and spiritual traditions\, such as Advaita Vedanta\, Kashmir Shaivism\, Hinduism\, Buddhism\, Mystical Christianity\, Sufism\, Zen etc.\, and which is also the direct\, ever-present reality of our own experience. This is a contemporary\, experiential approach involving silent meditation\, guided meditation and conversation\, and requires no affiliation to any particular religious or spiritual tradition. All that is required is an interest in the essential nature of experience\, and in the longing for love\, peace and happiness around which most of our lives revolve. \nAfter thirty years of intense seeking\, Rupert met his primary teacher Francis Lucille\, who introduced him to the direct way taught by his own teacher\, Jean Klein. He is the author of several books\, including his latest\, You are the Happiness You Seek. \nwww.non-duality.rupertspira.com \nRegistration is now closed for in-person attendance to this event \nREGISTER for LIVESTREAM &\nRECORDING ACCESS\nLink to access recording will be emailed to those registered for Livestream & Recording Access \nSince the in-person event is SOLD OUT\, we are offering Livestream access to make it available to more people. This “registration” can also be used for people who wish to receive access to the video afterwards. \nLunch Break: There are places close by to go out for lunch\, or you may bring your own lunch\, though there is no refrigerator access. There’s a nice small yard with lawn\, and limited indoor space for eating at the premises.\nNOTE: The venue is a kosher-style facility\, so no pork or shellfish\, and no meat mixed with dairy on premises. \nPARKING: There is some limited street parking in the neighborhood\, free and without time limit on weekends. There is also parking a few blocks away at the east parking lot of the Ashby Bart station: www.bart.gov/stations/ashb/map\nYou may also find paid parking just a few blocks away at Alta Bates Parking Garage: Enter on Colby between Ashby and Webster St.\nNearby parking fills up quickly. Plan accordingly.
