About the teacher
Jim Eaton
Jim Eaton studied mathematics at Oxford before working as a singer-songwriter, actor and inner-city London teacher. A period of spiritual searching led to what he describes as a direct realization of the wholeness of being. He subsequently trained in the relational practice of Circling and in Surrendered Leadership, which he now uses to help others integrate similar realizations into daily life.
Since 2011 he has run Authentic Living, offering Circling weekends and Awaken workshops across the UK and internationally, often combining meditative inquiry, relational practice and live music.
“To see the courageous letting go of everything we think we know and the revelation that what we long for is already here, waiting patiently to be acknowledged, is always an absolute privilege.”Jim Eaton
