Cost of Registration
The seminar is by donation, which does not mean it is free. There is no charge to register, but we cover all our own costs. An online donation according to your means is the correct protocol. These are priceless teachings which have the power to transform your life if they are assimilated and applied.
Deposit for Accommodation
I have already put down a 50% deposit for the whole event to secure it, so please let me know asap if you are interested in attending. I need a 50% deposit for your accommodation by the end of November this year, and full payment by 15th January 2025.
I can attest that I have visited the venue more than once, and it is as beautiful as the video shows, complete with running treadmills in the pool, a gym, cold plunge bath and sauna. All rooms have private bathrooms and a kitchenette. Very importantly, it has air conditioning in the teaching shala as well as all rooms. It is in a very quiet area, away from the tourist mania, surrounded by beautiful paddy fields, and only a 15 minute drive to the coast.
Cost Of Accommodation and Breakfast
This venue takes 19 people if all rooms are shared. If shared, the cost per person for 9 nights (incl. breakfast), will be: 340 USD in total. If you want a room to yourself, the cost will be 680. If we have more than 19 people, there is more accommodation nearby at similar prices that can be booked.
Texts: Atma Bodh and The Secret to Neutralizing Likes and Dislikes
James and Ben will teach from Atma Bodh, or the Fire of Self-knowledge, as it covers the whole methodology of Vedanta. As likes and dislikes are at the heart of self-inquiry, I will be focussing on this teaching with the introduction of my latest book on the topic “The Secret to Neutralising Likes and Dislikes’.
Yoga and Vedanta
We will have two highly qualified Yoga teachers joining us, Susie Roy and Catherine Young. They will offer daily yoga and meditation classes before each morning session. Susie Roy is also a Vedanta teacher and will unfold how Vedanta relates to yoga practice.
