"It would be immensely worthwhile to see for each one of us if we could be a light to ourselves.
When you are a light to yourself, you are a light
to the world."
J. Krishnamurti
Hear about free offerings, retreats, meditation programs and free articles on a peaceful mind and heart.
In a mutually supportive atmosphere of kindness and friendship, this workshop is an inquiry into the possibility of being a light to oneself. Our emphasis is on the importance of looking inward to find out what it means to be “a light to oneself.” Central to this looking inward is the observation of the activities of the self without judging ourselves or others.
This online meditative workshop is open to anyone interested in discovering inner quietude. All are welcome, whether or not you are familiar with Krishnamurti. Hosted by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada.
Awakened awareness is essential for a happy and fulfilling life. This monthly series is based on Krishnamurti’s insights into that he called “choiceless awareness."
Each 90 minute gathering is a meditative exploration of the awareness that is not bound by time ― the awareness that frees us from the mind-made self. Interludes of quietude and sacred music are included, as well as time for questions and discussion. All are welcome. Hosted by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada,
Seeing with the inner perception that transcends the ordinary mind is not common for most of us, but neither is it the exclusive domain of the few. The quality of our attention determines the quality of our seeing.
In order to “see” with a direct perception, we need to get out of our own way. At the same time, when the mind is completely silent, no-one is there, just the seeing.
Hosted by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada.
A quiet mind is a gift to yourself and to the world.
When there is equilibrium in body, mind and heart, there is a sense of calm and unity. Life can be an adventure, always new and creative, despite the inevitable challenges we face. Conflict and sorrow don't have to rule our existence.
This weekend retreat is all about relaxation, quietude and a deep dive into your own inner being.

The Only Revolution
The only revolution is the inner revolution that fundamentally changes a human being, and thus, the world. It is a radical transformation that frees us from the divisions that cause violence and damage the natural world.
Being with the Earth
This retreat is designed to help us recover and embrace our deep connection with the natural world. Our aim is to relax, de-stress and be in union with nature and with each other. Our day together includes walking mediation, meditative inquiry, and body/mind relaxation.
Time and the Timeless
11AM - 12:30 PM
Krishnamurti Educational Centre
As we know all too well, our lives are governed by time. We waste time, save time, lose time, resist time, and try to overcome time as. What is your relationship with time? Is inner transformation limited by time?
A New Beginning
Weekend Retreat - Temecula, CA
Every moment is a new beginning, but we are not aware of this most of the time. Sages and saints have pointed to the silent awareness that reveals the hidden treasure in the human heart. This retreat is an exploration into the art of deep listening and the joy it brings us.
Inner Freedom & Compassion
A more harmonious and compassionate world is something we all long for, but what is required of us? We know the answer intellectually — we need a radical inner transformation. But the intellect is not going to transform us. This monthly series explores what a new mind and heart point to. Attend one session or all of them.
Silent Awareness
"There is a silence which predates time. It was there before we were born and will be there when we die. The Buddha called it “empty space, the home of the awakened mind.”
This online series is based on the book
Silent Awareness: The Revelation That Changes Everything
Beauty and the Sacred
Without the sensitivity to perceive beauty, self-transformation is only an idea. What is the relationship between beauty and the Sacred?
When Krishnamurti spoke of beauty, he linked it to a heightened level of sensitivity, and to a quality of seeing that transcends the conditioned mind. In our highly polarized world, can we have an authentic relationship with beauty?
This program will explore the existential question: Who Am I? It is the most fundamental of all questions and central to understanding our purpose in life. Our exploration will include the views of Ramana Maharshi, J. Krishnamurti
and GI Gurdjieff.
Four Winds Gallery, Santa Barbara
Seating is limited.
Spring is a time of renewal. Flowers bloom with vibrant color, birdsong fills the air, and all of nature is alive with new energy and beauty. But does this renewal happen within us? Are we renewing our energy, vitality, and creativity? Join us in a supportive and quiet atmosphere where inner tranquility is lovingly welcomed like an old friend.
Temecula Valley and Ojai
Krishnamurti wrote with great sensitivity about the beauty and wonders of nature. His observations of the natural world convey, perhaps better than anything else, his teaching about attention, inner freedom and the art of living. This program explores Krishnamurti’s profound kinship with nature, and what we can learn from his insights.
Inner silence is often imagined as an ocean; vast, deep, powerful and unknown. When the mind is silent, life has exquisite beauty, balance
and equilibrium.
In the ocean of silence, there are no deadlines and no stress. To relax in a supportive environment is the aim of this retreat.
Join us for a tribute to the Earth. We’ll explore the beauty of the Earth and its sacred places, and we'll discuss how a loving response to the natural world contributes to our well-being, and bring us closes to wholeness
and peace.
