Staying less than one week won’t be possible
Priority was given to regular Mürren participants,
so the first week (21-28 June) is now fully booked
A waiting list is open, as the event is 7 months away
For the second week, 10 ‘cells’ are still available
Costs per week: € 630 per person for accommodation
(private toilet and shower, air-con, mosquito net)
and full board with light dinner
Add € 100 per week for the organization
Please make even tentative reservations as soon as possible

Krishnamurti on Dialogue
from Talk 10, Saanen, Switzerland, 1 August 1965
In a few days we are going to have discussions, and we can start those discussions this morning. But if you assert and I assert, if you stick to your opinion, to your dogma, to your experience, to your knowledge, and I stick to mine, then there can be no real discussion because neither of us is free to inquire. To discuss is not to share our experiences with each other. There is no sharing at all. There is only the beauty of truth, which neither you nor I can possess. It is simply there.
To discuss intelligently, there must also be a quality not only of affection but of hesitation. You know, unless you hesitate, you can’t inquire. Inquiry means hesitating, finding out for yourself, discovering step by step. And when you do that, then you need not follow anybody, you need not ask for correction or for confirmation of your discovery. But all this demands a great deal of intelligence and sensitivity.
By saying that, I hope I have not stopped you from asking questions! You know, this is like talking things over together as two friends. We are neither asserting nor seeking to dominate each other, but each is talking easily, affably, in an atmosphere of friendly companionship, trying to discover. And in that state of mind we do discover, but I assure you what we discover has very little importance. The important thing is to discover, and after discovering, to keep going.
It is detrimental to stay with what you have discovered, for then your mind is closed, finished. But if you die to what you have discovered the moment you have discovered it, then you can flow like the stream, like a river that has an abundance of water.

I think this is the right place to say a big thank you to
Duncan Toms (Editor & Archivist at Brockwood Park) and his Team.
Because, thanks to him, I am able to publish the audios from 1963 and onwards.
Thank you!
