Nächstes Englisch–Deutsch Retreat: Paris, Dez. 2025

$Francis Lucille will lead two one-week retreats in Paris in December 2025: • Week 1: French – English • Week 2: German – English A rare opportunity to explore the teaching of Advaita Vedanta directly with Francis—in dialogue, in meditation, and in silence. Info & registration: [https://francislucille.com/type-location/in-person-events-in-france/](https://francislucille.com/type-location/in-person-events-in-france/)This video was recorded in 2025 in Weyarn, Germany. A moment of silence reveals more than the mind can hold. In this dialogue, Francis Lucille points to the subtle difference between everyday not-knowing and the precise not-knowing of meditation. Through reflections on Albert Camus, existential philosophy, and the nature of deep sleep, he invites us to look directly at consciousness—not as an object, but as the very presence in which all appears.
