About Francis Lucille
Francis Lucille is a spiritual teacher in the tradition of Advaita Vedanta. A longtime friend and disciple of Jean Klein, whom he met in 1975, Francis conveys the ancient wisdom of non-duality, the common foundation of Advaita Vedanta, Chan Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Sufism.
His teachings reflect those of his master, Jean Klein. Jean met his guru in India in the early 1950s and studied with him for several years. Later, he studied the traditions of Kashmir Shaivism with Dibianandapuri and Hatha Yoga with the renowned teacher Krishnamacharya. Jean Klein was an Acharya, that is, a guru who, having realized the shared truth of all spiritual paths, could teach across many traditions with equal ease. He loved the humor of the Zen patriarchs, the elegant poetry of Rumi and the Sufi tradition, and the sweetness of the Christian expression of the Absolute by Meister Eckhart. His teachings embody his love for art and music, addressing the needs of a demanding intellect while focusing heavily on the perceptual and sensory aspects of our experience.
The Confluence of Art, Science, and Spirituality in the Teachings of Francis Lucille
Francis’ teachings reflect this same appreciation for humor, art, music, and poetry, further integrating his own passion for the sciences, derived from his background in Mathematics and Physics. His pedagogical approach is characterized by its intellectual rigor and an emphasis on the investigation of the body and its sensations. He guides meditation and yoga inspired by the Tantric and Hatha Yoga traditions, in addition to traditional Advaita dialogues (satsang).
