Direct inquiry
Workshops in which we look directly at what is here, and at what we usually take it to be.
Choosing a workshop
All three workshops begin with the same question: what is actually here, before we decide what it is?
Learning to Look is a live, shared investigation. We look together, including opportunities for individual inquiry with Rob, and work directly with the difficulties that arise.
What the Hell Is This? takes the inquiry into everyday life over six weeks, with independent looking and regular work with a partner. There are no live group meetings.
This Radiant Space brings a small group together for six live meetings, investigating familiar assumptions about body, world, space, time and self.
Each workshop stands on its own. All three draw on Peter Brown’s Yoga of Radiant Presence, and no previous experience is required.
Three formats
Four live meetings · starts 21 January 2027
Four weeks of live, shared investigation. Rather than learning a set of explanations, we actually look together. Group inquiry, opportunities for live looking with volunteers, and short paired exercises help us notice where familiar assumptions take over. No previous experience is needed.
Explore Learning to LookRegistration open · 8 March – 18 April 2027
A six-week paired inquiry built around one question: what is this before we say what it is? There are no live group meetings. A new part arrives each Monday and you sustain the inquiry through the week, working directly with your partner.

Six live small-group meetings exploring body, world, time, space, others and self through Peter Brown’s Yoga of Radiant Presence. The inquiry develops through orientation, guided looking, paired work, group discussion and questions.
Explore This Radiant SpaceYou do not need a special state. You do need to look.
Who they are for
You may already know Peter Brown’s work, non-duality or other forms of direct inquiry. You may be completely new to it.
You may be tired of spiritual ideas that sound good but do not seem to touch what is actually happening. Or ordinary experience may simply seem stranger than the usual explanations allow.
You do not need meditation experience, philosophical knowledge or agreement with a particular view.
You need curiosity and a willingness to check what is here rather than settle for the familiar answer.
The approach
You do not have to accept anything I say. Check it against your own experience.
There is no need to sound spiritual, understand quickly or come back with an impressive report.
Quiet or clarity may appear. They may not. The inquiry does not depend on reaching the right state and keeping it going.
We keep coming back to a very simple check: what is actually found here?
