EXPERIENCE THE EXPERIENCE
READ THESE DESCRIPTIONS FOR A VERY REAL SENSE OF THE EXPERIENCE – YOU CAN SWIPE THROUGH THE SLIDESHOW
For close to two decades I’ve sat utterly still with countless people in front of my camera, and over time it became increasingly clear that there’s another way. A way to tear down the walls that exist between people and in doing so, expose us to the human soul and a common humanity, and an awareness that we belong to each other. It also became clear that this very same way exposes us to a conscious flow of insight that causes us to act differently, and to speak with an entirely courageous voice. It’s this voice that I’ve made my films from.
Let me take you on a journey and show you the very real consequence on the experience of a life.
This Immersion is the profound and direct experience of Seeing and Being Seen, and a demonstrable experience of the Art of Witnessing. It is also the opportunity to have your Interior world (you behind the mask) committed to film using the Inner View (Soul Biographies) Method. And to the visceral experience of being found by insight.

TO SEE, TO BE SEEN AND TO BECOME AWARE OF ONESELF
THIS INCLUDES THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOUR INTERIOR WORLD COMMITTED TO FILM BY NIC USING THE SOUL BIOGRAPHIES INNER VIEW CAMERA
“Within moments everything that is not important somehow falls away” | “The way I experience all of life has profoundly changed” | “It is like revelation and deja vu, both at the the same time” | “I’ve no idea how I would have come to this if I hadn’t participated” | “It resulted in an irrevocable shift. The veil lifted” | “Nothing has changed but everything is different” | “The most profound experience of my life to date” | “This leaves only belonging” | “This is utterly beautiful and something that can’t be undone” | “This was like a vast field with an open sky” | “Perhaps this was the dream seeking me out all along” | “This woke me up, I can’t go back to sleep” | “Thank you for taking me back home”

full WORDS
WORDS FROM THE EXPERIENCE
AN EXPERIENCE BEYOND UNDERSTANDING
A RARE GLIMPSE OF A WAY OF BEING
LIKE BEING IN NATURE BUT WITH PEOPLE
THE EXPERIENCE OF ONE FAR BEYOND MY CONCEPT OF IT
THERE IS NOW A LIGHT ON FROM SOMEWHERE DEEP INSIDE
I’M NOT AFRAID OF MY OWN POWER AND IT’S SET ME FREE
“If you let him, Nic will take you on a pilgrimage to yourself. There he dares you to fall in love with yourself. He gathers a small handful of travelers who want to tread the road. And then the road ahead changes, as he leads the way to stillness. The big sky. No one knows what lies at the centre, what has always lain. Ideas cross the big sky like birds in summer. Stiller and stiller you have both travelled together to the place you have never been before. And there he is, silently and slowly nodding because he knows – we both know, this is it. Time stops, the world stops. What did I find? Sunshine, seagulls, the richly golden light you get before dusk. I’m not ashamed to say I FELL IN LOVE WITH MYSELF. Today I am changed because I sat with Nic.”
LDG
“You go through life, every day, carrying this weight inside of you. Over the years and moving through life’s chaotic pace every day, you stop feeling it. And then, you sit down in front of Nic and his camera. In that stillness and allowance to be, I felt the weight in my stomach. I looked up and saw Nic in the eyes. There was just space and in that space, THE WEIGHT LIFTED itself up. There was a gift under it, a treasure never spoken of before. Words came out, tears, laughter. All proclaiming a gift I have for the world. And, the most beautiful thing, is that I offered that gift to myself first. Right there, on the spot. I came out of the experience, feeling I had gone through detox for my soul and heart. A new me that was always there.”
ANDREAS ANDREOU
“My experience of being with ‘this’ was so profound that I don’t believe words are sufficient. Sitting across from the Inner View Camera, from Nic, is a life-changing experience. Nic will say he does ‘nothing’. But that Nothing is filled with the mystic and magic of our deepest consciousness. Our deepest heart. It invites us into a silence so deep. Words are temporarily stilled. Repurposed. We stop listening to our mind’s chatter. And allow words, if any wish to emerge, to flow from another place. Our soul can speak clearly from here. Transformation is possible. Beyond its conceptual meaning. We look into Nic’s eyes. Right into this Nothing. It can be challenging. It can be daunting. It can be exciting. IT’S ALIVE WITH POSSIBILITY. Nic may indeed do ‘Nothing’. But he truly sees. And because he sees, we see.”
SHEILA GROSS
I DON’T NEED TO SEARCH ANYMORE. I’M FREE
THERE IS NOTHING BETWEEN US. THAT HOW ALL THIS IS
THE ART OF SLOWING DOWN AND A NEW WAY OF BEING PEOPLE
THE EXPERIENCE OF ALL BEING ONE
IMMERSION DIRECTIONS : NO MAP. NO USUAL WORKING COMPASS. NO-ONE WE MUST BECOME. NOWHERE WE MUST GET TO. NOTHING WE MUST ACHIEVE. FOR NOW. NOTHING. NO-THING. NO ACT ON YOUR PART. STILLNESS, AND THE SURRENDER OF A USUAL WAY. ALONGSIDE THE EXTRAORDINARY POSSIBILITY THAT WHAT YOU SEEK IS SEEKING YOU. THEN INWARDS. TRAVELING TO THE VERY EDGE OF AN INNER FRONTIER. AND THEN, A RESOLUTE JUMP. FROM WHICH THERE MAY BE NO RETURN.
THE IMMERSION RETREAT PDF GIVES A VERY REAL SENSE OF THE INEFFABLE NATURE OF THIS EXPERIENCE.
LIKE SEPARATING FROM GRAVITY
IT ALL JUST FALLS AWAY
WONDERFULLY ALIVE

“As a reader who finds safety in books and learning I found out that something else was already there in search of me. In search of who I am, what I stand for, and what I’ve been pretending not to know. Instinctively, I ducked. I weaved. I recited poetry. But I discovered YOU CAN’T SPAR WITH SILENCE. And in the end, I realized the lens was nothing but my own eyes. Eyes I could not, and did not, want to avoid any more.”
ADRIAN JURIC
“When the words are not enough it usually means that I have no reference point for what I’ve experienced. But SOMETHING HAS CHANGED. A bold statement but how it feels to BE HERE has changed. And the piece that’s making me smile is that nothing has been created. I have ‘learned’ nothing new. And that is the most LIBERATING FEELING I may have ever experienced.”
CHRIS MCLEOD
“I’ve always been intrigued by the notion of ‘being in the here and now‘. Eckhart Tolle talks and writes about this, but I never fully understood let alone experienced it. Your use of the word ‘no-thing‘ has helped me immensely. It was as if SOMETHING JUST CLICKED AND IT HAPPENED. I ‘found myself‘ in the here and now in my experiences with Inner View. For years I have been knocking on the door, longing for the experience that Tolle and others describe, and it happened when I stopped knocking. Life is full of little jokes, isn’t it? Thank you so very, very much.”

NIC ON INNER VIEW AND THE EXPEDITIONS
“I was totally unaware of where I would go and especially where I would end up. There’s been only been one other person I’ve had a similar experience with, Byron Katie. I knew Nic saw me fully, and I saw myself. Really saw and felt myself for what seemed like the first time. I laughed at the image of me trying to control my life, actually thinking I was the one in control. Always running to fix myself, fix others or build more importance. In this moment I only know that I LOVE MYSELF AND I’M ENOUGH just as I am without doing anything at all.”
SUZY BATIZ
“So many of us have never felt truly seen, heard nor understood. Nic offers this through his very presence. The outer shell falls away until his eyes become yours, his face-yours, his questions, everyone’s. LEAVING ONLY BELONGING.”
DONNA LANCASTER
“I felt something shatter at the Inner View Expedition last year. It let the light in, and out. Since then it’s been a slow unravelling. And now the veil has broken. I got it. A knowing, and an embodiment. ”
PETER DONNELLY
“The sense of space, silence, stillness. Whispering ‘it’s time to surrender, to let go, to CALL OFF THE SEARCH’. I knew, deep in my bones, I’d never been more ready. It happened without effort. Effortless, really. This capacity to see and feel another. Beautiful human soul. I cried quiet tears. Of joy. What a gift. This seeing. Really seeing.”
