Come and explore what it is to be awake within our ever-changing present experience. We will be exploring our deep conditioning of being separated from the wholeness of who we are and how nondual teachings can be tools to create favorable conditions for “slipping into” a larger dimension of ourselves.

Yet teachings can also pose limitations.  Understanding has its place and value, but concepts and language are at best a pointer to the presence of who we are. Words like presence or effortless being are descriptions of this open, loving presence; but not to be mistaken for the actual experience of the vast fullness of one’s essential self.

We will see how observing and grappling with our ego and its structures can help us to let go and surrender. In doing so a larger dimension opens.  From a glimpse into our true nature we naturally want more of this…it’s human nature.  Wherever you are on your journey, come explore together the fertile ground of your true being.

“Real understanding is in not knowing. All knowing dissolves in not-knowing, and it is this not knowing state that there is transformation. Let go of all desire to know. But keep your terrible eagerness.” ~ Jean Klein
