Experiences from 2010

“Beautiful – so clear and so lovingly delivered “
“So simple and yet so profound – Thank you”
” Your teaching is lyrical, beautiful, real and unfaltering”

From all walks of life and all backgrounds, people are drawn together to hear and receive the ancient teachings. Spending 3 days in affectionate silence, through meditation, discourse, chanting, the beauty of nature and the fellowship of like-minded people the timeless teaching of Atma Vichara is lovingly revealed.
