What is an Open Meeting in Truth with Unmani?
Format
Unmani’s open meetings are an introduction to the deeper enquiry that she facilitates in her longer Intensives. After giving an introductory talk, Unmani invites people to come up to the front to have an intimate dialogue with her. Sometimes there will also be some time for some questions from the audience.
Practicalities
These open meetings are open to anyone who would like to be introduced to Unmani’s message. Nothing is required of you. Some open meetings are large groups and some are under 20 people. Some meetings are held in public venues and some in private homes.
Unmani asks that people arrive a few minutes before the scheduled start of the meeting, as late arrivals can cause disruptions. Usually the doors will open roughly a half an hour before the start time, so that you can come in and find your seat. In most countries, we can not accept cheques, so please be sure to bring the correct change. During the meeting you are free to leave at any time but please note that comings and goings, will likely disturb the rest of the group. Often in longer meetings, there will be a tea break where tea and biscuits are served.
Intimate Dialogues
Unmani invites people to come up to the front to have an intimate dialogue with her. This dialogue is an opportunity to ask any questions or inquire into a particular area of life that feels unclear. The dialogues with Unmani have also been described as a kind of ‘energetic surgery’, perhaps because although words are exchanged, there is so much more that goes on beyond the words. Whilst other people are having a dialogue, the audience can continue to participate by listening, as often their questions are being answered by the one at the front. When you come up to the front, although you may have a specific question, there is no expectation or pressure to know what you want to ask or say. You never know what may happen . . . ‘In the meetings I am not interested in playing with non-dual words and concepts, but in undermining, and getting to the root of all these beliefs – the belief in ‘me’. The intimate dialogues are an energetic dance that uncovers the nakedness that we all are beyond words. It is a dance of falling in love with myself.’ ~ Unmani
Participating
In a meeting with Unmani, she invites people to participate as much as possible. Unmani encourages people to question their usual thoughts, beliefs and assumptions, and to ask for clarity about anything that she says that they do not understand. Unmani will always point people back to their true nature, whilst also encouraging them to feel whatever is here. There is never a denial of either personal or impersonal issues or aspects of who you are. Unmani points to the lived paradox of Life itself expressing itself as this individual person in the world. Recognising this and recognising that your whole life, as you thought you knew it, is based on a thought assumption, there is more and more free-fall into not-knowing. Although this can seem frightening at first, it is the freedom that we truly long for.

"What me touches is Unmani totally and unconditional being present for everything that wants to be exposed, and nothing is being filled in. In this openness we really were invited to explore more and more for, and in, ourselves in presence of the Truth" - J.V
"I’ve been amazed at the truth and wisdom she speaks" - H.W
"Her message is one that comes with a lot of clarity and hitting it right in the core" - T.S
"She points directly to the seeing, the knowing that we are, until I could recognise it. Furthermore, she didn't make it something magical but something very ordinary, because that is what it is although recognising it was intense at the same time. This all lifted a load of my spiritual exploration" - H.S
"I truly cannot wait to attend another intensive, to burn in the fire of truth and die to love" - R.W
"She touched me by sharing about herself as a human. Her humility, and willingness to do this lightly touched me."

"I have been touched by the generosity of Unmani’s willingness to work on a one to one basis in small groups and, in that way, provide more access to her energetic influence" - G.W
"She touches me in her simplicity, not just in her words and teachings but especially in her way to be simply herself and meet us equally. I also see and feel love in her eyes and this touches me every time" - T.A
"Unmani's unique way to transport truth and love touches me so deeply. This open space makes it possible to say yes to all the mess that comes up and is shown." B.K
