Let the World Fall Away..
Step away from the noise. Come to our clean, green, silent mountain sanctuary to rest, reflect, and experience love's presence.

Where the meanings of world fall away—only peace remains.

Joshua Newton
Founder, Blisswork®
Joshua Newton
Teacher of Nondual Forgiveness
Joshua Newton is a mentor in the wisdom of nondual forgiveness, sharing contemplative writings, images, and video talks from his base in India with sincere students around the world.
Once a renowned journalist, author, and screenwriter, in 2012 he turned to a deeper vocation: the study and practice of Advaita and then A Course in Miracles. After a series of direct experiences of 'no self' in 2015 and 2017 while living alone in Bangalore, he started looking at the ACIM teachings through pure nonduality without the aid of its Christian/anthropomorphic terminology.
He founded Blisswork® as an open platform for exploring the advaita of Jesus as taught by ACIM and NTI. His teaching often draws on the raw material of his own life—failures, epiphanies, and transcendental breakthroughs—offered as parables of how the mind remembers its true identity.
