For many years you may have noticed that non-duality has been slipping into our everyday lexicon and public images. Once a month we gather on the fourth Wednesday evening to explore this ancient philosophy and spiritual tradition using the practices of mindful conversation to guide our time together.Navigating non-duality and its many iterations can be a challenge and our approach will include learning and mindful conversation. Our approach will be non-religious so all will feel welcome to participate.
This series has been designed to give you pointers that will help you understand these ancient but practical concepts. The goal is to empower you to understand and integrate some of the beneficial elements of non-duality into your everyday life.Non-duality stems from the Hindu tradition known as Advaita (vaita – meaning dual, ad – a prefix meaning non). Originating around 900 BC through its inception in western culture, there are three popular flavors: Traditional Advaita, Modern Advaita, and Neo-Advaita, which is the most controversial.
Please join us for some or all of the events. Let us explore the mysteries of our reality through the lens of non-dual philosophy and spirituality.
YOUR GUIDE:
Larry says, "A guru, or master teacher I am not." Larry has been a student of non-duality teaching for over eight years. What he does have is an infectious curiosity for things spiritual and scientific. It is at this intersection where he found non-duality.NEWSLETTER:

In collaboration with Watermark Woods, Birch Tree Bookstore and Loudoun County Public Library, join Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy for the next Read! Plant! Grow! book club meeting at Birch Tree Bookstore in Leesburg. This month we are reading The Humane Gardener: Nurturing a Backyard Habitat for Wildlife (How to Create a Sustainable and Ethical Garden that Promotes Native Wildlife, Plants, and Biodiversity) by Nancy Lawson. Local author Nancy Lawson uses engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the United States, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists to demonstrate how we can apply the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces.
You can either buy the book from Birch Tree Bookstore, or contact Allison Forbes at Allison.forbes@loudoun.gov to borrow a copy of the book at the library. There are two ways to participate: attend the event online via the library website or sign up to participate in person at Birch Tree Bookstore.
