Free Open Meeting with Unmani - "Do I need to practice being present?"
5th of March 2025 - 7pm to 8pm CET
Unmani is originally from the UK, but has lived a nomadic life in many countries around the world from the age of 18. Since Unmani was a child, she has never identified with being a separate individual, and always felt deeply at one with life. But as her environment did not reflect this Oneness, she felt lost and alone, as if she had been dropped on an alien planet. Truth was always her only passion and reason for living. She spent years traveling around the world in search of the truth. Eventually Unmani’s wake up call was answered when she met the Zen master, Dolano. Unmani finally woke up out of self-doubt and confusion, and acknowledged her true nature as that same Oneness that she had always known since she was a child.
Unmani has been holding meetings and retreats all over the world for since 2003, and in this time people have been deeply touched by her work: She meets each person exactly where they are at, and in whatever they need at the time, while at the same time holding them in the truth of who they really are beyond it all. This combination, and paradox, of the personal and impersonal, brings so much depth, openness and healing to people’s lives. They wake up to who they really are, and discover how this is lived and integrated into their daily lives.
Description
Remembering to be ‘in the moment’ or present can be a beautiful practice of letting go of thoughts and dreams, and coming back to the simplicity of what is already. However, this practice can also become a mind-game of remembering and forgetting, and trying and failing, believing that ‘I have got it’ and that ‘I have lost it’.
Presence is another word for who you are. This can’t be got or lost, or even practiced… Let’s explore this together.
These Open Meetings are for all those who wish to have a taste or reminder of Unmani’s message by simply listening in, or for those who wish to dive deeper by having a video or audio dialogue with Unmani.
These Open Meetings — with Unmani’s unique perspective and insightful guidance — will offer a rich opportunity to wake up to your true nature, and see how this realization is lived in your daily life.
Each Open Meeting will have a general theme, but Unmani is open to any genuine and relevant diversions from this theme. Unmani will start by giving a talk on the theme and then will ask if anyone has any questions or wishes to have a dialogue. The meeting will last approximately 1 hour.
Unmani asks that before you ask a question or request a dialogue with her, that you take some time to feel into what is most real and truthful for yourself and then speak from there.
In short:
– Unmani will speak on a particular theme
– There will be time for questions and dialogues with Unmani
– You have the option to just listen in, or participate in a dialogue with Unmani
– Video replays to watch at your convenience any time (no need to worry if you miss the ‘live’ meeting)
We use Zoom video conferencing software which is free to download. If you want to have a live dialogue with Unmani you will need a computer with a microphone and camera. Once you book your place, you will receive more instructions about how to join the meeting.
Although the Open Meetings are also livestreamed on Youtube and other social media platforms, if you would like to ask questions or have a dialogue with Unmani, you will need to join the Zoom meeting. Book your place on the Zoom meeting below. Check the timezone converter for your timezone.
