Meetings In Being - Satsang Meditation & Inquiry with Greg Marian
About Greg




"The only prerequisite for spiritual awakening is an innocence and openness that it can be this simple". 
 
                 ~ Gregory Jade Marian
 
 



For the past 3 years Greg Marian has offered the space for deep spiritual inquiry and exploration of our True Nature.  He offers the the opportunity for people to rest and abide in Non-dual Presence, and shares the spontaneous words and guidance called forth in the moment as an invitation to come into remembrance of our Essential Reality.  He warmly welcomes everyone into the eternal moment of Now with an embracing flow of compassion, clarity, gentleness, and humor. 
 
Greg shares the timeless wisdom of Non-Duality in a very simple and direct way, inviting everyone into the realization of our True Nature in this very moment, just as they are.  He offers refreshingly unique and intuitive pointers, as well as integrating teachings from various Eastern and Western traditions.  He brings an eclectic synthesis of spiritual insight and gritty life experience as a guiding light to help bring clarity to the landscape of spiritual awakening, and guidance to help integrate our spiritual realizations into our everyday lives and relationships. 


Greg has a unique ability to articulate his direct experience in a way that allows a deep intuitive connection with people's experience, as if 'from the inside'.  Rather than holding onto a specific perspective, his intention is to  bring clarity and understanding to the spiritual Awakening within whichever spiritual or psychological framework a person finds helpful. He attempts to offer a seamless integration of the Eastern spiritual wisdom traditions with contemporary western psychology in a simple, approachable way. 

Although Greg shares from his own direct experience, he also draws upon his broad range of knowledge and practice of several spiritual traditions including various Advaita Vedanta and Yogic teachings, various schools of Buddhism, transpersonal psychology, and shamanism.  He has practiced formal meditation for over a decade, having learned such techniques as Vipassana (both Insight and S.N. Goenka traditions), Transcedental Meditation, and Kriya Yoga as taught by Paramahansa Yogananda.  In addition to this he brings the experiences and insights gleaned from earning a psychology degree, working as a counselor for over 5 years, and more than 15 years of psychotherapy, group process work, and healing work with various psycho-spiritual modalities.


The most powerful influence in Greg's unfoldment however was the time spent in the Presence of awakened beings, and he is eternally grateful for the personalized guidance that was given to him by the many spiritual teachers that he was blessed to have met over the years.  A very deep gratitude is especially felt for Lorne and Lucia Hoff who selflessly offered their intensive guidance for an extended period of time after a profound shift was initiated in their Presence, as well as Adyashanti, whose incredible clarity and insight continues to be a guiding light and inspiration.  Greg has also been profoundly influenced by the teachings and lives of Ramana Maharishi, Nisargadatta Maharaj, EckhartTolle, the Buddha, and Christ.

Greg offers public satsangs, private sessions, and weekend retreats across Canada, and currently lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
