Self-Inquiry And Inner Peace

 — "What if I told you, you have always been and will always be, everything you have ever been searching for!" Valeria Teles interviews Gregory Bondi — the author of "Songs of Silence: Poems to Accompany You on the Journey Home Vol. I." Gregory is a spiritual teacher and author. His work has been inspired by a profound love for mysticism that developed at a very early age and pushed him deep into Western Mystery Traditions, Native South American Shamanism, and much later, Vajrayana Buddhism. A sudden understanding of what is HERE & NOW led him to the teachings of Advaita Vedanta. Particularly influenced by the writings of Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj and Nisargadatta Maharaj, Gregory aspires to and values direct nondual teachings, seeing them as invaluable pointers to Truth and to the recognition of the freedom that arises from an absolute 'knowing' of Self.  Gregory offers nondual teachings and initiation into the Direct Path through individual mentoring and retreats, sacred 'Sat-song' poetry, Inquiry explicitly for the direct exploration of Self, and Inquiry to Clarity Work to refine how Self is moving through this precious, and unrepeatable life. Based in beautiful California, Gregory draws from a varied background as an initiate, storyteller, ceramic artist, chef, metabolic typing advisor, and yoga teacher. He cares deeply for the world and the environment.
