Title: On Polarity, Mental Illness and Healing. 

Location: September 25, 2015 Morning - Mennorode, Netherlands Open Mic Gathering. 

Quote: When mental illness ceases to offer something to awareness, then the illness is no longer needed. 

Info: People are responding worldwide to John and his message of knowing and meaning. John currently holds events in India, Israel, Canada and several countries in Europe. These international retreats include meetings, informal gatherings and oftentimes meals shared with John. The informal gatherings with John are a more conversational format, often filled with laughter, practical topics, and dynamism. The connections may also be deep and still, as the awakenings of formal meetings continue to develop. People also connect via webcast as part of a wider international community. 

Canadian Philosopher John de Ruiter is an innovative voice for spiritual evolution, teaching that life's meaning can be known and lived through "core-splitting honesty." In his teens, John awakened to foundational levels of existence. Ever since, his life and teaching have been informed by that direct knowing, a true inspiration that he encourages in others. 

John's meetings include silence, connection by eye-contact, and dialogue. They are an opportunity to come to rest while actively realizing deeper levels of being human, knowing what we really are, and allowing that greater reality to change our lives.
