About Non-duality
The traditional non-dual view (advaita vedanta) is that beyond the differences we see through our senses, there is oneness and wholeness.
This is our true Self, the real meaning of ‘I am’. It may be known in direct experience, through meditation, deep mindfulness, and the other traditional practices.
This discovery brings deepening fulfilment and relief from fear, and the capacity to share them with others.

I’m Interested Getting to the venue
The venue is the NH Amsterdam Centre hotel, next to tram stop Leidseplein. From the front of Centraal Station, take tram 2 or 12 to Leidseplein.
Please make sure that you come to the right venue!
There are two hotels with very similar names.
One is the called NH Amsterdam Centre, which is next to Leidseplein tram stop and near the Rijksmuseum. The other is called NH City Centre Amsterdam, near Rokin.
They are not the same! The event is being held at NH Amsterdam Centre, next to Leidseplein tram stop.
Registration is not obligatory, but it would help us with organisation to know if you are planning to come.
Thank you for letting us know!
Lasting inner fulfilment and freedom from fear can be found in this life, by discovering the nature of our own true Self. This is the essential message of the non-dual teachings (Advaita Vedanta).
There is nothing other-worldly about these teachings, they answer the natural impulse to find happiness and understanding of the world.
Our mind and senses cannot reveal to us the whole of reality, being themselves details in reality. Yet truth underlies everything we experience, and by learning to turn our attention from the contents of experience to the nature of the conscious Self, we can approach the reality of our own Being, which is at one with the reality in all – which has been called the Absolute, God, Brahman and by many other names.
The teachings are found in classic texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, and in essence are at the heart of all the world’s wisdom traditions.
The methods include meditation and related practices, deep mindfulness, and living in a spirit of goodwill to all. They provide us with a way of finding lasting inner security and fulfilment.
This event and the teachings will be of interest to mature individuals who have begun to question the meaning and purpose of life, and understand that dedication and perseverance are needed to attain what is most worthwhile.
