Discovering our shared essence

This beautifully illustrated book shares a timeless truth: just as the blue sky remains ever-present behind passing clouds, so peace and happiness remain present behind the changing experiences of life. Thoughts and emotions may drift across our inner sky, appearing and disappearing, yet the sky itself – like our own awareness – is never altered. The Blue Sky of Happiness offers children and adults alike a simple and profound reminder of who they truly are.

Written by Rupert Spira, with artwork by award-winning illustrator Zuzanna Celej, whose acclaimed work has received the New York City Big Book Award, the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award and The Living Now Book Award, and has been exhibited at major international book fairs including Bologna and Shanghai. Due for release in 2026.

This feature-length film, expressing the essence of the non-dual teaching, will share the perennial understanding with people throughout the world. It is intended especially for those who may not previously have encountered this approach. The film will convey the central message of non-duality – that happiness is the very nature of our self and that we share our being with everyone and everything – in a visually poetic form. It will invite viewers to experience the understanding that gently draws each of us back to our own essential nature. This film will be offered online free of charge, with donations welcomed.

The Rupert Spira Foundation supports Marici through a grant dedicated to sharing the peace of our true nature with children rescued by Marici from child sex-trafficking networks. Marici also provides exceptional aftercare, offering survivors healing, education and long-term opportunities for a brighter future.

The Rupert Spira Foundation is launching a YouTube channel that will explore essential questions at the heart of the non-dual understanding through a series of carefully sequenced videos. In time, it will also feature recordings of Foundation-hosted meetings with Rupert Spira. We warmly invite you to subscribe when the channel launches.

The Rupert Spira Foundation is planning a series of free global retreats, offering people everywhere an opportunity to explore their essential nature. These gatherings will provide a setting in which to turn inward, to rest in the peace that lies at the heart of our being, and to share this understanding with others. The first retreat is planned for 2027.
