About the teacher

Francis Lucille

Francis Lucille studied for years with Jean Klein and became one of the principal carriers of his direct-path approach, later teaching Rupert Spira among others. His teaching moves between careful philosophical distinction and direct pointing, addressed to the immediate recognition of awareness rather than to a gradual programme.

Now in his early eighties, he keeps a full international retreat schedule, with sessions held in Madrid, Temecula (California), Weyarn (Germany) and Paris through 2026.

“Simply, remain in waiting without waiting. You are the love in everything you love. You are the beauty in everything you behold. You are the intelligence in everything you understand. You are the sweetness in all things.”
