Blisswork®
Art for Awakening

Welcome to Blisswork®

Deepen your inner journey with the eternal nondual wisdom of A Course in Miracles & Advaita through short contemplative films & deep meditative images.

Zoom Retreats | Resort Retreats | Mountain Retreats

Daily Forgiveness | Daily Guidance | Daily Bliss.
Three steps. One practice. A new way of living.

Blisswork®is a quiet experiment
using contemplative short films, deep meditative images, and inspired texts to teach our three-step practices of daily forgiveness, daily guidance, and daily bliss—the vibrant teachings of A Course in Miracles and Advaita are offered here
in a way rarely seen before.

A Quiet Revolution
of Visual Wisdom

At Blisswork® we create short contemplative wisdom films rooted in nondual wisdom and
A Course in Miracles.

How it Works
Upon invitation, a Blisswork® original film on a chosen theme is screened. The screening is followed by guided teaching and dialogue, where the principles embodied in the film are unpacked and practised with the participants. These sessions are available both online (via Zoom) and in residential retreat settings.

This visual-auditory experience as a 'felt' understanding lingers long even after the session.

Visual Wisdom
Teaching Retreats

In addition to film-based sessions,
seekers are invited to use their
smartphone cameras in a contemplative way:
to observe without judgement
to notice light, shadow, and silence
to train perception toward beauty

rather than grievance
This gentle practice turns everyday seeing

into a form of meditation, extending the lesson
beyond the retreat into daily life.

If you are feel drawn to host a session—for your company, retreat, institution, or community—we gladly welcome your invitation. Let's create, contemplate & commune for clarity.

"For the last seven years, this steady stream of bliss has stayed with me, more or less. Would you like to know how?"

Well, before 'The Blisswork' comes some real spadework. I was born in Kerala, India and I live in Kochi now. For 43 years, I was a ‘sleeper’. For half that time, I was a professional reporter, writer, and editor. I wrote for newspapers and magazines, authored books, wrote movies, and won awards. I had almost made it big in the world.

Then 'A Course in Miracles' found me.
But I threw it away right away. LOL. ACIM first came to me in 2007 for less than a dollar, at a Sunday book market in New Delhi. It read like ‘Mormon stuff’, so I hid it behind my Naipauls, Foucaults, and Adornos. Then I gave it away. Five more years of suffering, and I was ready for the Course in 2012 following my studies in Advaita Vedanta.

The Course helped me drop the meanings I had given to my dad, mom, partner, kids, job, money, social status, and God. This was because every damn thing I thought I knew began to look different. Truth is, the Course blew me away from the inside.

Mine is not a religious mind. I simply resort to the kernel of truth in ACIM to keep me going. As the book says: “To learn this course requires willingness to question every value that you hold.” ACIM is not a quick-fix job. The fact is, it takes a few years to clear away our mental trash and junk with its help. But the good news is that you will see the change unfolding in a few days after you begin the work. In some cases, the bliss is immediate. Yet we have to keep clearing the darkness in us.

For decades, I was a sad chap. But once I became willing to be trained by 'A Course in Miracles', I began to see the change in me. My family saw it. My friends noticed. And then a few of the curious students came asking me to teach the path of blissful living. Back in 2013, when I began sharing ACIM on socials, India had not heard of it. My longing for Course companions became intense but nothing happened. In 2023, ten years later, some pupils came around and we formed The Blisswork® Commune for A Course in Miracles.

There was a time when I literally hated the idea of 'service'. Today, I blissfully serve whoever is sent to me. Of course, 'A Course in Miracles' is a thoroughly advanced mind-correction programme. We all learn through trial and error. If you need my help, I'll gladly assist you on your way to your Inner Guide, who will offer you pure bliss. First, we 'work away' our mind's muck. Then, we recognise our nature itself is 'bliss'.

Welcome to The Blisswork®.

Founder, The Blisswork®

My guidance in A Course in Miracles is deeply nondual. Would you like to discover the nondual core of ACIM?

While going deep into Course, we could also have fun exploring amazing parallels in the teachings of Ramana Maharshi, The Bhagavad Gita, Vasishta Yoga, Avadhut Gita and Ashtavakra Gita. This way, we bridge East and West in our dream.

Welcome to a new, blissful way of learning Course!
