• No, you don’t need any prior mediation experience. In fact, the word “meditation” is somewhat misleading. When we “meditate,” we’re simply experiencing reality. Experiencing reality is not difficult or esoteric, nor does it require any prior experience or special knowledge.

  • Yes, the webinars are recorded, and the meditation might be shared online. The dialogues are not shared online. If you would like to ask Kyra a question without being recorded, ask her to pause the recording during your question.

  • Kyra’s webinars typically occur on Thursdays at 8:00 am PST / 11:00 am EST / 4:00 pm GMT. If this is incompatible with your timezone, please contact Kyra to request an alternative time. She will do her best to offer alternatives.

  • To join a webinar, go to the booking page, select a date and enter your details. Once you have entered your details, you will receive an email confirmation with the webinar Zoom link. You will also receive an email reminder 24 hours before the event. If you enter your phone number, you will also receive a text reminder. On the day of our meeting, simply click on the Zoom link in your email to join. The Zoom meeting room will open 15 minutes early to allow everyone time to settle in.

  • Each meeting begins with a short meditation, followed by open dialogue and Q&A. If you’d like to share or ask Kyra a question after the meditation, simply click on the “Raise Hand” button in Zoom. When it’s your turn, Kyra will call on you and ask you to unmute yourself.

  • Yes, and feel free to sign up for as many as you’d like. After the webinar, you’ll receive a “thank you” email that includes a link to make a donation, if you wish, but this is entirely optional.

Essence

A Bespoke Online Program with Kyra Spira

Apply

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise;
seek what they sought.

— Matsuo Bashō

Essence is a series of private conversations to explore your essential self and discover its inherently peaceful and loving nature. The program is shaped entirely around you. Together, we find the right balance of weekly hour-long sessions and daily check-ins, over the length of time that best suits you. We begin wherever you are and walk together back home.

Through conversation and guided explorations of your experience, we go directly to your essential self. While the process looks different for everyone, it tends to move through three phases:

First, we shift the focus of your attention from outward to inward. We allow your attention to relax back to its source, the background of experience. There, you taste your essence: pure consciousness, that which knows your experience.

Recognizing Your Essence

Exploring Your Essence

Then, we explore the nature of consciousness. Is consciousness itself suffering, or does suffering belong to thought and feelings? Can you find any limitations to consciousness itself, or do limitations belong to the contents of consciousness?

Expressing Your Essence

Finally, you let your essence shine—allowing the peace and love of your true nature to infuse everything you think, feel and do. There is no one right way to do this. Your essence express itself in a way that is quintessentially you.

Designing Your Program

Before starting your program, we have an initial conversation to design your program around two elements: private sessions and daily touchpoints.

Private Sessions

An hour of unwavering attention to your direct experience. Sessions are conversational, and can include a brief guided meditation or experiential inquiry. Recorded and yours to keep.

Daily Touchpoints

Text and voice memos to keep us connected. You share your experience—whether caught in a difficult feeling or enjoying the quiet of an ordinary morning—and I respond with a voice memo.

ABOUT KYRA SPIRA, PHD

Kyra Spira has spent her life studying the nature of consciousness and the root of human suffering—first in academia, then in the contemplative traditions. She holds a master's in Mind, Brain and Education from Harvard and a PhD in the Learning Sciences from Stanford.

She taught at Stanford before leaving academia to pursue her interest in the ancient philosophy of non-duality. Her time with Rupert Spira and Francis Lucille ended her search for peace by revealing the essence of experience. She often feels that this was her true education.

Kyra now works privately with a small number of people drawn to the direct path to peace. She lives in Devon with her husband, Rupert Spira, where they spend their days writing, tending the garden and enjoying the beauty of nature.
