A living space for truth, tenderness, and ordinary sacred life
Most of us already know that more information and more “spiritual content” is not what we need.
The real ache is simpler: to live from what is true in us, in the middle of work, family, grief, love, and ordinary days – and not have to do that alone.
The Open Space is a small, quiet community for people who feel that ache and are ready to honour it. Inside you there is a quiet place that already knows how to be here. This space is for living from that knowing, gently and steadily.
The Open Space is held by writer and sacred teacher John Siddique, and shaped by the people who gather, not by a fixed programme or personality type. It is a place to be real, to listen, to remember, and to let your life be guided from the inside out.
What we do together
Monthly Satsang & Meditation
We meet once a month online for satsang, guided practice, and honest conversation. This is a touchstone – a chance to pause, to see clearly again, and to rest in what is already whole in you.
Teachings Library
You’ll have access to a growing library of meditations, talks, and reflections. These are not churned out to fill a schedule. They are made slowly, from real seeing, so you can return to them when you need them.
Annual Retreat
Once a year we gather more deeply for retreat. This is time to reset, to be met in silence and companionship, and to allow a quieter, truer rhythm to show itself in you.
Everything is offered in a way that can sit within your ordinary life: work, family, responsibilities – without demanding that you become someone else.
Who this is for?
The Open Space is for you if:
You feel the pull of truth and are no longer willing to turn away from it.
You’re tired of performing, managing an identity, or endlessly “improving” yourself.
You sense that who you really are is asking to be central in your life, but you struggle to live from this in daily life.
You desire companionship with others who care about these things in a clean, unforced way.
Bursaries
If you feel called to join us but the cost of membership is a concern, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We invite you to get in touch, sharing a bit about your practice and current circumstances. Thanks to John’s generosity and the support of others who have found these teachings life-changing, we now offer partial and full scholarships to those in need. It’s important that financial challenges don’t stand in the way of your journey—your place here matters.
