Coming in 2025
Please scroll through this page to see Bill’s various events coming this year. He Is also planning additional events and will continue to revise and update this page, so please return to it occasionally.
*** Free online contemplative gatherings ***
Bill continues to convene periodic, live-streamed, 50-minute online conversations he describes as “Hearing, Remembering, Coming Together” (Sanskrit: Śravana, Smaraṇa, Saṃsthāna).
He begins each session by sharing a teaching from yogic and other spiritual philosophies. He and the group then sit together with that teaching in a spirit of contemplation in a way that Bill hopes supports participants in applying it in their lives. Each session ends with a short period of meditation.
Participation is free of charge and participants do not need to commit to the on-going series. Anybody and everybody is welcome for any session.
The next gathering will be scheduled for the earlier part of the summer.
Please return to this page occasionally for further information.
I will also send out a notice to my mailing list. To place your name on that list please go the the “Join Bill’s Mailing List” tab on this Website.

*** Week-long Yoga and Contemplative Philosophy Retreat in Portugal ***
Theme: “Know Stillness within Activity and Activity within Stillness”
With Bridget Woods Kramer
November 14-20, 2025
Cocoon Portugal
Produced by Georgie Fearn Yoga
For full information from Georgie’s Website, press here.
As Georgie says there, “We loved this venue so much in 2024, it was one of the reasons that we knew that we had to come back! The venue is a 275 acre farm on the coast of Southern Portugal. The farm grows much of it’s on food (which is quite possibly the best retreat food I’ve ever had,) it has a beautiful freshwater lake and is only 10 minutes from beautiful stretches of untouched coastline.”
As one way to explore, ground, refine, and apply our understanding of our theme — “Know Stillness within Activity and Activity within Stillness” — we will turn to teachings in my translation from the Spanda Kārikās (“Verses on Vibration”), Pratyabhijñā-Hṛdaya (“The Heart of Recognition”), the Vijñāna Bhairava, and other texts from from the yogic philosophy of Nondual Tantra.
I will lead contemplative study and discussion of these teachings and Bridget will guide us in her most excellent manner in integrating them into our physical yoga practices. Each day will include ample time for the practice of meditation and to delight in the retreat site’s physical surroundings. And we will all enjoy each other’s company.
