Seven-Day Retreat at Garrison Institute with Rupert Spira (October 2025)

PLEASE CLICK HERE TO REGISTER

For those who love to dive deeply into the heart of the non-dual understanding, retreats offer an unprecedented opportunity: seven days with Rupert and friends, nestled in a beautiful location in nature, where we steep together in the peace of our true nature. Retreats gather us in the heart of being, where we spend our days in self-abidance, friendship and creativity.

Each day features a guided meditation in which we rest in being, as being, as well as a dialogue in which we discuss the non-dual understanding. Between gatherings, we enjoy three delicious vegetarian meals, where the love and understanding effortlessly transmits itself through friendship. In the evenings, we might relax with friends, watch a film together or celebrate through poetry and music.

Whether you seek peace, happiness, truth, love or freedom—or if you would simply like to reunite with old friends—retreats provide the priceless opportunity to taste your true nature in an atmosphere of kindness and beauty. The people you meet on retreat will quickly become your non-dual family, so please join us as we gather in the spirit of friendship to celebrate the unity of being.

For those who cannot attend in person, you will be able to join from your own home via livestream. Livestream tickets give access to all sessions during the retreat, plus you can connect with the community around the world in dedicated Q&A sessions. Replays are available for a week after the retreat. This way you can easily watch again or catch up on any missed sessions due to time zone differences.
