Residential with Andreas Müller (EarthSpirit Main Centre)

This residential with Andreas Müller is a non-duality retreat at the Main Centre of EarthSpirit Centre in Compton Dundon, Somerset. It is a gathering of conversations around non-duality, open to anyone drawn to direct enquiry into the nature of experience, and it is led by Andreas Müller.

What to Expect

The residential is built around conversation rather than technique. Andreas Müller meets the message of non-duality freshly with the group, pointing to what is already here instead of offering a method to follow. The language of the event is plain and uncompromising. What seems to limit us, the sense of a separate experiencer, is looked at directly and found to be boundless. What has felt like a personal experience is met as something impersonal and unlimited.

The central pointing is to "you reading these lines": the immediacy and totality from which nothing is separate, which is neither a concept nor an experience. Who could watch this totality, or find an answer to it? The conversations stay close to those questions.

The residential is also frank about what it does not promise. 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. People who come looking for self-improvement may find this unsettling. People who are tired of seeking may find it a relief. The stay runs for several days, a little over three nights.

About Andreas Müller

Andreas Müller leads conversations around non-duality and shares his work through the Timeless Wonder website. His approach is to speak to the impersonal nature of what appears, in a way that is direct, empty and uncompromising, and to leave listeners with their own looking rather than a teaching to adopt.

The Setting

EarthSpirit Centre sits in Compton Dundon, in the Somerset countryside near the Somerset Levels and the Glastonbury area. This residential takes place in the Main Centre, the larger of the centre's two retreat houses. The centre describes itself as eco-minded and offers vegetarian catering, and its other retreats mention fresh home-grown produce and rooms that include single, twin and triple arrangements. For travel, the nearest train station named for other events at the centre is Castle Cary.

Before You Go

No prior experience of non-duality or meditation is stated as a requirement. The conversations are offered to anyone who wants to look into these questions, whether this message is entirely new or already familiar. Come with curiosity, and with a willingness to let questions stay open rather than be answered.
