About the teacher

Tony Parsons

Tony Parsons has taught non-duality for over 25 years across the UK, Europe and the US, presenting what he describes as "a clear, radical and uncompromising expression of non-dualism" that draws on Advaita Vedanta, Zen, Dzogchen and Christian mysticism while insisting there is, ultimately, nothing to attain. His book The Open Secret, first published in 1995 and revised in 2011, remains his best-known work.

He continues to teach through recurring weekend meetings in London and Salisbury, an annual residential retreat near Lincoln, UK, and periodic Zoom meetings.

It is so obvious and simple that the grasping of it obscures it. Never found, never lost, never knowable, it is the consummate absence that is beyond measure.
