OPEN DOOR
organises a variety of self-inquiry events, locally & abroad

Can we discover a completely new mind rather than a conditioned one?

Can we take a fresh look at our lives? 

Who are we?  What drives us and why is life full of dullness, conflict, struggle and stressful living?

Are we confined inside who we think we are, or should be, or what others expect of us? Are we equally confined inside a certain perspective of life in general? 

Do we see our relationships with people, work and the rest of life, directly? or is our whole observation tainted with what we think we are observing? 

What would it mean to fundamentally change and what is actively preventing this change from taking place? Where is freedom, joy, youthfulness, good humour, affectionate relationship and a completely different kind of living?

This is our inquiry.

Non-Profit Making Programs & Events

 

  • international retreats at a variety of beautiful locations abroad

 

  • study workshops online

 

  • one-to-one dialogue

 

  • local dialogue meet-ups

Our intention is to gather as friends and generate interest in fundamental change in the way we are living.

We provide programs for an international community of people that might be drawn to this inquiry.


 

OPEN DOOR works independently or in collaboration with international likeminded foundations and retreat centres, who are keen to organise programs or host our events abroad.

An unpretentious atmosphere of friendship, kindness and careful observation – without antagonism – is essential for anything new, insightful or beyond expectation, to naturally unfold…


 

The background to this work has developed out of a deep interest in J. Krishnamurti’s talks, writings and insights.

What we are trying to do, during all these discussions and talks here, is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind, not accept things as they are, nor revolt against them. Revolt doesn’t answer a thing.
You must understand it, go into it, examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have, to find out a way of living differently.
