For New People without Experience of Self-enquiry Dyads

As a new person, you are warmly invited to attend all the presentations which occur at the beginning of each monthly event. To participate in dyads in breakout rooms (the second part of each event), it will be necessary for you to be introduced to the particular dyad technique we use. There is an opportunity for this during the first dyad period so that you may then, if you wish, join the second dyad practice with another participant. For more information and an explanation of terms used, see ‘New to Dyads?’

​

With special thanks to Osha Reader, Lawrence Noyes, and Grace Honore for their support and suggestions. Dedicated to Murray Kennedy and Edrid for their inspiration and personal guidance. Dedicated to Osho. 

If you have any queries, please email us at info@selfenquirydyads.org 

The Presentations

Each month an Awareness Intensive Leader from the Osho communities or an Enlightenment Intensive Master will present an informative and inspiring talk about various aspects of these intensives and of the dyad process.

“Awareness Intensive (AI)” is the name used in Osho communities; the process is the same as in other communities where they use the name “Enlightenment Intensive (EI)”.

Each monthly presentation will include the unique, and often inspiring, personal experiences of the presenter.

​

There are many benefits of these intensives, especially how they are an opportunity for you to discover and “directly experience” the truth of who and what you actually are, of what life is, of what love is, and of what others are.

This process is suitable for every sincere seeker of truth in their lives, regardless of religious or spiritual orientation. Care is taken so that no belief system is introduced or taught. Only a method is provided to facilitate effective and satisfying personal enquiry and experience.

Wednesday, August 6, 2025 - presented by panel of Masters

Panel Discussion: Enrollment approaches and sharing the work

​

This month we thought we'd do something a little different - thanks for the idea, Lawrence.

We've invited a panel of well-seasoned masters to share on the theme of enrollment approaches and sharing this work. 

On the panel will be:

Colleen Santini

Shivam O’Brien

Murray Kennedy 

Edrid

Forest Dalton

Russell Scott

Ganga

Cynthia Spillman

​

Here's some of what we'll be covering:

• Common objections and how to counter them e.g. ‘You can’t get enlightened in a weekend.’
• How best to relate with "ordinary" folks who have no particular interest in intensives or dyads.
• Why have Intensives not caught on like wild fire everywhere, in all these years? 
• One of the best enrollment tools – Giving a Presentation
• Strategies for being visible, building trust and credibility.
• Introducing dyad work to young people
• How can participants best share about their experience of EI’s without alienating friends and family.

There will also be space for participants to share their methods and reflections and to ask questions. If there's time left at the end, we'll also be inviting questions on other topics to be answered by the panel of masters. 

​

This is a bit experimental, so it may be that we have time afterwards for only one rather than the usual two dyad sessions.

Future Presentations

Wednesday, September 3, 2025 - presented by Colleen Santini

The Inner Path of Service: How Training Transforms the Seeker

What if the next step in your personal evolution wasn’t more seeking—but stepping into service? In this talk, we’ll explore the profound value of taking a Monitors, Masters, or Clearing Training Course—not just as a way to help others, but as a catalyst for deep inner transformation. Whether you're drawn to guide others or feel called to deepen your own awakening, these trainings offer structured, liberating environments where clarity, presence, and self-honesty are not just taught, but lived.

​

About Colleen

Colleen has been immersed in the world of inner work since 1971, beginning with yoga and deepening through decades of spiritual exploration. A profound awakening experience in 1983—what she calls her "kiss of enlightenment"—set the stage for an even greater turning point: discovering Dyad Meditation and the Enlightenment Intensive in 1987. That encounter changed everything. With a natural gift for blending depth with lightness, Colleen brings humor, heart, and grounded wisdom to every conversation. Whether she’s leading a training or simply sharing space, she loves creating safe environments where truth can reveal itself naturally.

​

Colleen will offer an In-person Enlightenment Intensive near Toronto Oct 10th, 2025

A Clearing Training in November 2025

An online Zoom Intensive at New Years

A Master's Training Course in May 2026

Some Appreciation

"Thank you so much for this!

I'm training to be a Master and all this early history helps me learn more about the nature of the intensive.
