John David commenting on Excerpts from Aham Sphurana - A Selection of Teachings from Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi
Open Sky Press
For more than a year we have been intensely occupied with publishing and promoting the Aham Sphurana book with Sri Ramana Maharshi`s profound teachings and a new glimpse of his personal day-to-day life at fifty-six, in his middle age.
We were very happy and excited to bring this new jewel to Arunachala in January and from there we brought back a wide selection of books about Bhagavan, many of which are not available in the West. Have a closer look at these books at the Open Sky Press Website and pick your choice!

VERNISSAGE
26th March • 11 – 15h
Dear friends of Art,
We cherish Creativity and Artistic Expression from a Space of Silence which can touch you deeply. We cordially invite you this new fantastic exhibition. The Vernissage will be on Sunday, 26th March. At 12 noon the exhibition will be opened by galerist Sandra Wenderhold and curator John David. The artists will be present and look forward to meeting you and answering your questions.
Wonders of Planet Earth
Two of our new artists depict wonders of the earth in original ways you might never have seen before: unknown, majestic, raw and powerful landscape formations. The photographer Bernhard Edmaier travels to remote places where he captures stunning aerial photos from a helicopter. The painter Carsten Westphal journeys deeply into deserts where the all-pervading silence and vastness inspires his creations.
Both artists immerse themselves completely in nature. As a result its hard to even tell the difference between the photos and paintings. It opens up the feeling that these expressions do not come only from the personal, but from a deeper place which is intrinsically the same source as from which those landscapes themselves were created.

The New Open Sky Villa is a place for living together in a new conscious way, bringing more peace and harmony into our lives and the world. The Spring Season is starting, the sun is sneaking out and temperatures are rising. We are preparing for upcoming retreats and weekends with John David.
If you like to benefit from the silent and vibrant energy of this beautiful place, connect to a conscious community and explore another way of living – you are welcome to join as a volunteer. At the moment we are busy all around the property: in the garden, the kitchen, the guesthouse and on the construction site.
Joining in as a volunteer is a great opportunity to contribute with any skills and interests you have. This will give you a taste of a deeper connected way of living in a calm and beautiful atmosphere.
