John David
John David is a non duality teacher, author and film director.
His meetings are a chance to reconnect to the deepest part of your being and come in contact with the love inside of you. This is not romantic love, but unconditional love, which is the essence of life itself.
John David grew up in England and worked as an architect in London and Japan. Successful on the outside there was still something lacking inside, which led him to an inner journey. He was guided to Oshos Ashram in India where he lived for many years.
After Osho passed away he went to Papaji, (H.W.L. Poonja) where a profound awakening happened. He stayed with Papaji for five years, grounding the moment of awakening.
In 2000 he started sharing in meetings in Australia. He travelled all over the world to find and interview Indian, European, Australian and American spiritual teachers. In this way he collected their wisdom on film and in books Blueprints for Awakening, so that it may be there for future generations.
In 2003 he moved to Germany offering meetings all over Europe. In 2004 the Open Sky House Satsang and Art Community formed spontaneously around him out of a retreat. Today there are three places, near Cologne in Germany, near Kiev in Ukraine and near Valencia in Spain, where John David works and shares closely and intensely with his students. Students who don`t live in the community meet regularly in Sangha groups.
In all three places everybody can meet John David in Satsang meetings, retreats and individual sessions. You can spend time in his community at any time as a guest or volunteer.
