In 2016, Samuel came in touch with Rupert Spira and Mooji, both uniquely different instruments through which Reality contemplates and announces itself. Under the tutelage of Rupert, through an extensive period of satsangs and retreats, he was introduced to the tradition of Advaita Vedanta, the essence of meditation, the yoga of Kashmir Shaivism, and the self-enquiry method of Ramana Maharshi. In parallel, Samuel attended multiple intensive retreats with Mooji, and then, the seva program at Monte Sahaja, where he experienced the power of an intimate and devoted sangha. The transmission of these pivotal meetings was like traversing the event horizon of a spiritual blackhole, into which the edifice of false identity falls and meets its dissolution.
 
Soon after leaving Mooji’s ashram in Portugal during the summer of 2018, Samuel found resonance in the company of Francis Lucille and Jon Bernie, both direct disciples of Jean Klein. At a stage when formulated questions had fallen away, Samuel comments that, “by meeting them both, the simplicity and ordinariness of the natural state reawakened in my body. It was a baptism into viscerally feeling the fine nuances of the silent transmission.” Specifically, in the form of dialogues and guided meditations, Francis indicated to him the path of classical hatha yoga, and the path of higher reasoning expounded by Atmananda Krishna Menon. In his group and private meetings with Jon, Samuel assimilated a somatic and energetic understanding of how to consciously attune to the flow of the Tao as it travels through our neurophysiology. Furthermore, Jon inspired Samuel’s initiation into the system of traditional Qigong, of which he is still a student and practitioner today.
 
At this stage of the path, Samuel was so enjoying the beauty of meeting in the mutual love of silent Being, that he longed to meet new friends with whom he could relish in this simple love and silence. This longing led him to discover the online and in-person meetings offered by Louise Kay, and soon after, Isaac Shapiro. This season of life was like a warm hug from the total cosmos. The miracle that revealed itself was that such an intimate energetic transmission and communication could occur through a laptop screen, between two locations apparently thousands of miles apart. He writes, “they both invited me into a new, yet sweetly familiar, way of being together, in the silent stillness of presence, an effortless love flow and relaxation that becomes more and more beautiful, in which the residues of tension in the body and mind spontaneously dissipate of their own accord.” 
 
Samuel now lives in Bristol, UK. He offers private 1-on-1 meetings, and holds gatherings and longer immersions,

both online and in-person.
