Being Absolutely Know one & No thing
An evening talk & meditation with John Prendergast - in Victoria
In-Person at the Victoria Friends Meeting House in Victoria, BC
Friday, June 26th, 2026
When we know that we are no thing, we are free to be as we are – both as spacious, loving awareness and as unique, individuated being. Through silent and guided meditations, a talk, meditative inquiry, and experiential conversations in community, we will explore seeing and feeling through who we have mis-taken our self to be and discovering what remains.
John J. Prendergast is an exceptional teacher. He combines non dual insight with psychology in a grounded way. He speaks plainly and is emotionally fully present.
“Your Deepest Ground is a book of wise and subtle guidance through the intricate process of embodying our greatest spiritual insights and transformations.”
—Adyashanti, author of Falling into Grace

John J. Prendergast (1950 - ) was born and raised in Silicon Valley before there was any silicon. Instead, Santa Clara valley was full of orchards - plum and cherry - and wild mustard in the spring. He attended UC Santa Cruz when it was still small and experimental. There his spiritual search began in earnest. He attended a series of long meditation retreats in his twenties, before beginning his graduate studies in psychology.
He met his first teacher, the European Advaita master Jean Klein, in 1983 and studied with him until his death in 1998. He began studying with this second teacher, Adyashanti, in 2001.
He was a professor of psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco for twenty-three years where he taught and supervised masters level counseling students. He has had a private psychotherapy practice since 1985.
