Satsang is an ancient Sanskrit word.
It means sitting together in truth – hanging out in mutual authenticity, without artifice or pretence in order to feel and commune with the core of each other, and so elicit an experience of the underlying background presence informing us all and all of this.

Whenever we meet together in awareness of this presence (the Tao), it brings healing and miracles for all present. This energy spreads by ripple effect to everyone you know, from them to everyone they know and so on six times, until everyone on Earth is benignly affected. In this sense, it’s world- healing.
About the next satsang series – The Healing Series: Surrender To Grace
There are many factors involved in mastering the practice of being in the world but not of it, perhaps one of the more striking of which is surrendering to grace. The surrendering aspect is fairly self-explicit – you let go of grasping at pushing on, pulling at and in all ways interfering with the flow of life and instead relax, let go and allow yourself to be carried by the current to your destination, deliverance, salvation or however you want to see it,
The grace aspect relates to the Taoist notion of virtue or ‘teh’and means all that is true, glorious, noble, beautiful and uniquely you when aligned to serving rather than disturbing the great flow of life. But it also refers to the omnipresence of those qualities at a primordial level, as in when you let go and surrender to the flow, you find yourself enveloped in grace (grace of the Tao).
When this happens, all that was broken or unjustly taken is restored or returned and all that was held beyond your reach is brought to you – the miracle of manifestation occurs in other words.
Sunday 24 Mar- Does surrendering to grace rather than pushing the river really bring you what you want?
Sunday 31 Mar- Manifesting things – what do you really want?
Sunday 07 Apr- How come the unscrupulous seem to win and the principled generous hearted seem to lose?
Sunday 14 Apr – How can you accept all the violence and cruelty, stupidity and short term gain-ism without colluding?
Sunday 21 Apr – Surrender versus fighting – isn’t it just lazy surrendering?
Sunday 28 Apr – Can we really alter the balance for humanity so grace reigns supreme or is that just pie in the sky?

Why I hold Satsang
I have it on good authority and feel strongly that the time has come for all of us on the path to come together, to join up and commune. Our very survival now depends on us doing so.
The synergy of sympathetic spirits sitting together in communion, breathing together, focusing together, inviting consciousness to expand, will trigger the growth of collective wisdom we need to get us through to the other side of the unprecedented multidimensional crises we face now.
I’ve been teaching for decades and have never known a time when so many people are seaching for a connection point whence to derive stability, authentic direction and deeper meaning.
Barefoot Satsang offers the anchor, the succor, the stability and the authentic connection and genuinely loving communion we’re all seeking to help us keep going in the face of mega-challenge.
Barefoot Satsang is here for you if you ever feel alone in it all and in need of support, exposed and in need of protection, confused and looking for clarity, or simply afraid and longing for human companionship, love and warmth.
In each session, I’ll be providing a supportive, protective space for you to overcome your fears, find the courage to meet challenges and gain clarity about whatever concerns you, in a loving, warm, sympathetic environment of wonderful people.
What happens at a Barefoot Satsang
Each session is live and spontaneous, and so totally unique, about an hour long and fully interactive.
I’ll start with commentary about the state of the world this week – based around the various faculties needed to retrieve balance in all the areas that concern you. (If you have something pressing that you want to get off your chest or need some help with, leave me a comment or question when you register for the satsang.)
For the second twenty minutes or so, I’ll lead a guided Taoist based meditation. We’ll start by focusing inwards and by the end we’ll focus on the connection between everyone at the event and then everyone you know and so on to transmit the healing globally.
After that, I’ll answer your questions on whatever may be causing you concern in your life, before signing off with a closing meditation, a magic spell for everyone for the week ahead.

It’s simple to log in – full information will be provided. And, as every Satsang is recorded and sent to participants, you will be able to replay the whole session as often as you like.
The cost of attending a Barefoot Satsang
Just $10 (c£6 or 7Euros) entitles you to attend the event live online and/or receive the recording.
