Shakti Caterina Maggi ~ Embodied Consciousness
From understanding to being, the passage of embodying awakening requires a deep integration into our everyday life of what has been revealed in our spiritual journey. Perception is the way through which we will directly connect to our non-dual nature, as all illusion of separation is purely conceptual.
This experiential intensive will lead to profound access to our true Consciousness, and will guide participants in the transformation of the way in which we see ourselves and the world, as well as the way in which we can deal with suffering in ourselves and others. The intensive will include meditations, open discussion, and special perception exercises to help us see and dissolve the patterns of holding and resistance that reinforce the sense of separation.
Shakti Caterina Maggi has been sharing a message of awakening to our true nature as One Consciousness since 2003. Her approach to Self-Realization is very contemporary and accessible, and is profoundly in tune with Advaita and the non-dual Tantric traditions. She reveals the real possibility of seeing what we truly are, and embodying it in our everyday lives with clarity, wisdom, and humor.

“Freedom is not a state of being. Freedom is Clarity. When you know who you truly are, you stop judging your thoughts and emotions. You stop identifying with them. Whether you feel sad, happy, emotional or peaceful does not matter anymore. Clarity allows the embrace of the present moment as it is. It brings healing. Eventually Love, Peace and Joy bloom from the seed of inner acceptance.”
“Do not look for anything, my friends, with the exception of Truth. Do not pretend anything. Do not wear the masks of love, peace or silence. Without pretense, Self-realisation is always Here and Now.”
Tilicho spontaneously realized the Self in 1998 without following any teaching or practice. The absence of spiritual conditioning allowed her to see through the veils of spiritual idealism and illusions. She ended up spending thirteen years in Tiruvannamalai in south India, the seat of Ramana Maharshi and his sacred mountain, Arunachela. While recognizing the beauty of the Advaita teachings, she also observed that they can easily be misunderstood and distorted. Although the Self is eternally free from the world, it is not separate from it. Clarity does not exclude openness. Her teaching stresses the need to combine Masculine and Feminine qualities and approaches. It is an invitation to find unity within and without, not only for the sake of oneself but for the sake of the world, as both are ultimately inseparable.
Satsang with Tilicho consists of 15 minutes of silence, followed by Q&A on any relevant topics of spirituality and personal development. It also involves healing practice.
“May all beings realize who they truly are! Om Sat Chit Ananda.”
