'Like water in a wave, I, awareness, am the knowing in the known.' — Rupert Spira

This beautiful retreat offers a space to drop deeply into being. Leaving all distractions behind, offering a beautiful opportunity to be present and to feel the shining of your being.

Surrounded by nature, the sound of the gentle wind, the smell of freshly cut grass, and the nourishing beams of sunlight wearing through the clouds.

Being together with people interested in the same matters, having the time for conversation where time doesn't matter.

Having space to allow things to unfold.

Sharing beautiful delicious meals together, whether you want to be in silence or enjoying the company of friends.

The beauty of joining the livestream is you can enjoy from the comfort of your home whilst still feeling connected to the community of the retreat. During every retreat there are three Zoom sessions where livestream guests have the opportunity to ask Rupert their questions and enjoy the recordings of the meetings afterwards.

You are warmly invited to join us, either in person or online via the livestream.

Why Do Different Spiritual Paths Disagree?

Rupert Reads from His New Book, The Shining of Being

$Can Thought Exist Without Time? What is the relationship between thought and time? Just as space and perception are clearly interdependent, is the relationship between thought and time equally inseparable? Rupert says: ‘Yes, because any thought has a duration – even the thought “chair” has a duration, though much shorter than “what should we have for supper this evening?” If there were no time, in what dimension would a thought exist? Thoughts are sequential, one after the other, implying a line of time within which the sequence can exist.’ ‘Time is imagined in thought – it’s exactly the same as space and perception. Time is how reality appears when filtered through thought, while space is what reality looks like when filtered through perception. Reality itself, pure consciousness, has no dimensions, but when awareness assumes the form of thinking and perceiving, it refracts itself into time and space.’ *This video is from one of Rupert’s in-person retreats at Mandali, 30 August–6 September 2025.
