Meeting with Teachers Online | The Courage to Come Alive with Unmani
2025 February 16 (Sun) | Live on YouTube or Zoom
Our next guest at Meeting with Teachers Online is the spiritual teacher Unmani. Originally from the United Kingdom, Unmani has lived in many countries around the world, and some may also know her from the 2019 Advaita Congress in Vienna, where she touched people’s hearts with her great humanity.
Darshan with OM C. Parkin
2025 March 14 (Fri) | Gut Saunstorf Monastery
Meeting an impersonal teacher of the silent tradition is an experience that happens in the unknown. OM teaches people the subtle exploration of the ego-mind and accompanies us into surrender to the SELF. In Darshan everyone is invited to ask questions or to talk about themselves.
OM accompanies you and helps you to trust the love, stillness and simplicity of your Being. His radical and clear responses invite you to listen non-knowingly and with your heart and to let yourself be deeply touched by it.
The Guru – The Great Unknown | with OM C. Parkin and ShantiMayi
2025 April 25 - 27 (Fri -Sun) | Gut Saunstorf Monastery
This weekend, in the company of OM C. Parkin and ShantiMayi, we will explore a delicate and often challenging topic. As soon as the term “Guru” comes up, most people react with distrust, and often even hostility. Our aim is to look beyond preconceptions and biases, and approach this mystery with fresh eyes: Who is the Guru?
The ocean does not complain about the dance of ten million waves,
so do not worry about the ups and downs of thoughts.

Bookstore
We are pleased to present and offer you the exceptional selection of wisdom texts from the advaitaMedia publishing house in our bookstore at the modern Monastery Saunstorf—a place of silence. Here, in the modern monastery, the collection is integrated into the vibrant teachings, thus finding its worthy place.
The heartfelt mission of the publishing house is to bring the publications of the awakened master OM C. Parkin into the world and to provide a forum for other older and contemporary authors connected to the publishing line. Additionally, we offer a rich, comprehensive, and exclusive selection of wisdom literature that opens pathways from the perspectives of spiritual masters and teachers from different times, cultures, and traditions, guiding you on your journey inward.
Temporarily, the bookstore is located in a room shared with the monastery shop due to space constraints. We appreciate your understanding in this matter.
We look forward to your visit and are happy to assist you!

Antiquarian bookstore
It is an old monastic tradition to collect and preserve knowledge in the form of books. Thus, an antiquarian bookstore is to be established at Monastery Gut Saunstorf, containing selected wisdom literature from all traditions and eras. These books are intended to serve interested individuals for study and, in part, will also be available for purchase. By donating well-preserved copies of spiritual masterpieces, you can help contribute to the creation of a unique treasure of wisdom at Monastery Gut Saunstorf.

The words of wisdom are not meant for the mind.
They come from silence, they are silent themselves, and they are meant for silence.
OM C. Parkin
