LIVE 10 DAY INTENSIVES in Tiruvannamalai, India

FREEDOM IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT - HAVE IT!
 

If you have been on an Open Meeting on Zoom with Sal, you will have an introduction to the message of freedom he shares. But, that is just the beginning of the end. An intensive is the end of seeking, and the beginning of your life of freedom. It is not for everyone. It is for you, if you are tired of trying the endless ways and means of finding peace and are ready for the culmination of your search and your path. You will find what you have been searhing for and you will discover that it has always been here. It is YOU. Mount Arunachala in Tiruvannamalai, India is a powerful, supportive place for this life-changing shift to happen. And it will!

"Your intensive was the gift of my lifetime, the pinnacle of 25 years of practice and retreats with many teachers. For me, your teachings surpass them all and go way beyond. My seeking has ended. I need no other teacher, book, or retreat. I am done." 
- SHARRY

"In my ninety years of an interesting, sometimes very challenging but always full on life, this is the best thing I ever did."
- DOLLI

"I am absolutely doubtless that my seeking is over. Yes, I am free!!"
- KEN

 

A GENUINE PARADIGM SHIFT

What we will do together on the intensives:
- Explore and experience deeply the silent, peaceful ground of your being. This is the essence of who you are. 
- Become a true baktha, devoted to freedom and peace. It is the key to liberating your mind from incessant seeking and self-doubt.
- Dismantle the egoic concept of freewill and doership. This brings more ease of being and peace while not denying any aspect of your life. 
- Come to the full circle, non-dual reality that you are what you have sought. Seeking is over!

 

WHAT WILL THIS PARADIGM SHIFT BRING?

- Ease of being in your lived experience
- Far less contraction and resistance to life
- Far less or no judgement of yourself and others
- Much more compassion for yourself, your loved ones and everyone else
- Less or no need to control yourself or life 
- Far less fear, worry and concern
- More love and harmony in your life and relationships 
- The end of seeking in the world or in spirituality for peace and relief 
- The end of the need for meaning and just simply living this life, as it is
- Less or no arguing with yourself or the world 
- It is the peace that passes understanding, but that can be known, by you. 
 

"I've been waiting 60 years to hear the words you speak....THE END OF SEEKING, at long last. 
Seriously, the utter starkness and simplicity of your message deeply deeply resonates. FREEDOM"

- PAM

"So totally grateful for this work... it's like finally finding a home, after looking all these years. Huge relief. Beyond words of gratitude."
- Marie

"You are a master teacher. I have no idea how you have lead me to such a different view so quickly."
- SUE

 

In freedom, life becomes very simple. Peace, fulfilment and happiness are your nature.

MORE COMMENTS FROM FRIENDS

Sal’s message is so clear, simple and profound. My life has changed since hearing it. The simple recognition of the glaringly obvious truth is pointed to in Sal’s unique way, very ordinary, with humour and in the most all-inclusive and compassionate way I’ve ever experienced. Truth, freedom, compassion, my simple words fall short, thank you dear Sal. Coming to India, being immersed in the work with amazing people has been such a gift. Before arriving and during my stay, there has been every support and taking care of anything I may need. The inquiries, questions and lovely relaxing listening sessions, with delicious chai on Sal and Bindu’s roof, gazing over to Mount Arunachala, is a safe and comforting space to hear the message of freedom. - ​​​Thank you Sal and Bindu! Lots of love, Andrea
 

You know last night I didn't even want to go to sleep I was enjoying just being alive so much. I woke up this morning, sat on my bed for like an hour, not needing or wanting anything other than what's happening and it's like in every breath, in every sensation this welling up of peace just fills and informs everything. I know that's just experience of peace but I don't care to even discredit it as an "experience" because it's just love. There's so much happiness even in pain. Sal seriously, I'm so amazed I just keep crying because I'm so content. - Erica
 

"Just to say a big THANK YOU for your work! The intensive has been a fantastic journey for me! I don’t know if you remember my words at the beginning of the intensive: “it could not be any better “ and you replied to me: “ it will get better” ! You were absolutely RIGHT! I am ready for the play of Leela because I know that I am it.
So grateful! Thank you again!" - 
Love , Jean-Yves
