KECC's mandate is to offer a space and programs for inquiring minds to study the teaching of J.Krishnamurti on freedom, truth and the awakening of intelligence and provide opportunities for insight and the transformation of consciousness.
Its Swanwick Centre is located in Victoria on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The Centre sits on 32 acres of ocean-front property offering magnificent views of the Strait of Juan De Fuca and the snow-capped Olympic mountains of Washington State, as well as nature trails that wind their way through meadows, forest and along the scenic coastline.
The Centre opened in 1977 as "Wolf Lake School", based on the teaching of J. Krishnamurti who himself visited the school in 1978. After the closure of the school in 1981, the property was, with his approval, converted into the "Swanwick Study Centre", operated by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada.
Swanwick Centre today is a place for reflection and inquiry into the nature of truth and freedom that transcends the beliefs and assumptions of conditioned thinking. This inquiry within each one of us, that is not dependent on belief or spiritual authority, is at the core of Krishnamurti's teaching. Some contemporary approaches aligned with the essence of this teaching are also included in our scheduled programs.
The Centre is also available for individual retreats and group rentals.
