John David

John David is a Spiritual Teacher, Author, Filmmaker, Painter, Architect, and World Traveller who has spent over 25 years guiding people towards Inner Freedom and Self-realisation. His whole life has been a journey of Awakening, a rich unfolding that he now shares to inspire others to reconnect with their True Nature.

Originally trained as a Civil Engineer and later as an Architect, John David left behind a successful career in London to follow a deep inner calling.

His search took him to Japan, where a spiritual awakening began to stir, and then to India, where he spent 15 years with his first master Osho, and later 5 years with Papaji, a direct disciple of Sri Ramana Maharshi. His interviews with Indian Masters brought him eminent friends. These profound encounters deeply shaped his understanding.

Today, John David shares his wisdom through Satsang, Books, Films, Paintings, and his thriving International Centres for Inner Transformation, Open Sky. These communities in Spain and Germany offer a powerful and supportive environment for deep Inner work, Creative expression, and Silence.

John David’s multi-facetted teaching approach is simple, direct and free of religious or ideological frameworks.

His heartfelt presence, down-to-earth nature, and humor make his teachings accessible to people from all walks of life and whatever their level of knowledge.
