About the teacher

Paul Smit

Paul Smit built his public profile as a Dutch comedian and speaker before turning increasingly toward the philosophy of mind, drawing loosely on Advaita and non-dual ideas alongside neuroscience in his books and stage lectures. His work sits closer to popular philosophy and public speaking than to a dedicated non-duality teaching lineage, worth noting for visitors expecting a retreat-style teacher.

He tours widely through 2026 with lectures and workshops on the brain and philosophy; dedicated advaita or non-duality content appears mainly in his books and occasional webinars rather than as a separate retreat programme.
