Residential with Andreas Müller

This residential non-duality retreat at EarthSpirit Centre in Compton Dundon, Somerset, is a series of conversations with Andreas Müller about the direct recognition that there is no separate self. It is for people already drawn to non-dual teaching, or curious about it, who want several days of open inquiry rather than a programme of techniques.

What to Expect

The residential is built around conversations on non-duality. The invitation is to meet this message freshly, and the description of it is plain and uncompromising. The sense of a separate experiencer is seen as an illusion, and what looked like a limit turns out to be boundless. What has felt like a purely personal experience turns out to be impersonal and without edges. What was rejected is revealed to be all there is, and to be perfect love.

The language used is direct. "You reading these lines" is described as the totality from which nothing is separate, neither a concept nor an experience. The questions asked are who could watch this totality, who could experience everything that seems to be happening, and who could find an answer to it.

This is not a self-improvement retreat. The teaching says there is nothing to achieve and no one to achieve it. What appears to be happening does not lead anywhere, has no intention, and will not help anyone become more complete. Expect an atmosphere of inquiry and open dialogue, not a programme of practices, goals or progress.
