THE OPEN SPACE
A Safe Place For Your Heart

The Open Space is our welcoming community for those who wish to live more directly from their soul, and to work more closely through shared practice and discovery.

We meet live each month for Satsang, with time for meditation, questions, insight and the things that matter in our lives. Members also receive monthly video Satsangs, access to our complete library of teachings and meditations, and opportunities to join our retreats.

The Open Space is a place of kindness, wisdom and friendship, where we can deepen our understanding and bring the light of awareness into our everyday lives.

Join The Open Space

John Siddique is a sacred teacher and author whose work brings the wisdom of direct realisation into ordinary human life.

For over four decades, John has shared teachings and practices rooted in awareness, authenticity and the discovery of our true nature.

His meditations have been downloaded more than 4 million times, and over 35,000 students worldwide have studied through his online courses. He is the author of nine books, including Signposts of the Spiritual Journey, and his work has been featured in Time, The Guardian, The Spectator and the BBC.

At the heart of his work is a simple invitation: to discover the truth of who we are, and to live from that truth with love, freedom and a deep sense of belonging to life.

American Library Association Review
"Part self-help, part spirituality exercise, Signposts is both introductory and thorough, welcoming and not aggressive . . . the book provides a framework for self-realization that even the most uninitiated can understand through easy but deeply thoughtful points for reflections. For those seeking guidance in their spiritual journey or those needing an honest and kind approach to clarity, Signposts will be helpful at any point on the journey's path."

TESTIMONIALS

I don’t have the words to adequately express my deep appreciation for John’s teachings and the profound awareness and shifts that occurred within me. His approach and presentation was so loving and profound. In the countless meditation courses I have taken part in over the years, this one resonated with me far more than any other. John’s inquiry, his timing, his words, and the spaces between his words helped me reach a place of peace and resolution on something I have been struggling with for many months. I am so very grateful, truly.

Student Review - Self-Acceptance Through Authenticity Course
I have been “trying” to find love for myself for so long. I cried with joy when I felt the freedom of realising that I had a checklist of things I felt was wrong with me when in actuality, those were the exact things I have always been looking to connect to. Those were the parts of me I had been denying were real or important. I wish I could tell you what this means to me. I’ve never felt the conviction I feel now to own who I am. I feel joy and love.

Student Review - Self-Acceptance Through Authenticity Course
John has a voice that sounds wholly in tune with a deeply kind and generous heart and spirit. In this course, John gently and clearly invites others to join him, step by step, to explore who they are and to find ways to remember that they've always been these same selves.

Student Review - Self-Acceptance Through Authenticity Course
‘So full of humble wisdom. Every word spoken resonated with my heart on a profound level,  like something I already deeply understood but was fragmented and confused,  John gathered it all together in a beautifully eloquent, present and human way, full of love.’

Emily - UK
‘I’ve been meditating for 10 years and have come across a number of teachers on my path.  John’s teachings are special, focusing on the inner space that needs to expand and take its place in our lives.’

Marianne - Norway
'John reveals the simple true path to authenticity.  He teaches practical wisdom which makes understanding  our true authenticity so accessible.’

Stephen - USA
‘A transmission of deep presence and heart-centeredness. John seems to know exactly what to say  and when to say it, to draw you in to a deep meditative state.’

Richard - Sweden
‘I will carry your teachings with me in the basket of things that really matter to me.’
