This isn't about managing your thoughts. It's about discovering what you are beyond them
Most of us live almost entirely in the mind — striving, fixing, endlessly seeking something better. And yet beneath all of that movement is an awareness that is already still, already whole, already at peace.
You have never been without it. You have simply never been shown how to look.
At the Centre for Beingness, the teaching doesn't come from books or technique. It comes from direct recognition — a teacher who has turned Awareness to Awareness itself, and can guide you to do the same.
This is the difference between learning about presence and actually coming home to it.

About Ben Warren — Teaching from realisation, not theory
Ben Warren's journey to becoming a meditation teacher was anything but ordinary.
At fifteen, he was involved in a near-fatal car accident. As he hung upside down in the wreckage, bleeding from a head wound, he left his body — and entered a place of pure white light. Completely peaceful. Completely whole. No fear, no pain, just an overwhelming sense that everything was deeply, absolutely OK.
He spent the next three decades trying to find his way back.
That search took him from England to South Carolina on a golf scholarship, to New Zealand where he founded BePure Health — one of New Zealand's largest clinical nutrition practices — and through every avenue of personal development imaginable: Tony Robbins, breathwork, fasting, yoga retreats, monastic immersions, kriya yoga, transcendental meditation, ayahuasca, kundalini awakening.
Everything pointed toward the same destination. And eventually, in his late forties, after selling his share of BePure and stepping off the treadmill of achievement, he arrived.
Not through effort. Not through technique. Through recognition.
Ben is now a Self-Realised teacher in the Non-dual and Tantric traditions — meaning he doesn't just teach about Awareness, he teaches from it. He has turned Awareness to Awareness itself, and his gift is helping others do the same.
He teaches every Sunday night, runs the Awaken to Awareness course, and is building the Centre for Beingness into a global home for genuine awakening.

You might be in the right place if…
- Â You've tried mindfulness apps and meditation techniques but feel like something deeper is missing
- Â You've had glimpses of profound peace or stillness and want to understand what they were
-  You're on a spiritual path — whether through yoga, Buddhism, Advaita, or your own inquiry — and feel ready to go further
- Â You're burned out from striving and suspect the answer isn't another goal to reach
- Â You just have a quiet feeling there is something more to life than what you've been told
You don't need to have any prior experience. You don't need to be a certain kind of person or hold certain beliefs. You only need a genuine curiosity about what you are, beneath everything you think you are.
If that's you — welcome. You're in the right place.

Cat Jones - Gisborne, NZ.
"If you are curious about meditation and wondering where to start  - look no further, joining the Sunday night meditations at the Centre for Beingness has been a deeply transformative experience – one that I highly recommend.
 Ben has a gift for guiding us beyond concepts, and out of the thinking mind - helping us reconnect with our true Self through simply practicing being aware of what we are aware of. His guidings aren’t about adding more but uncovering what’s already whole within us.
 Each session feels like coming home to my Self. What makes it even more valuable is that all the sessions are recorded and stored in a library, so it’s easy to dip back in whenever I need inspiration or support throughout the week.
 If you’re drawn to discovering genuine peace and happiness from within, joining the weekly sessions at the Centre for Beingness is a beautiful place to begin."
