Teacher

Rupert Spira

Rupert Spira is a ceramicist, writer, and teacher of Advaita Vedanta. His spiritual journey began at age 15, when he first read poetry by Rumi. He was exposed to Tantric traditions in the 1990s, which in turn led him to the Direct Path, a nondual approach that doesn’t adhere to any one school of thought.
