SUMMARY:Shakti Caterina Maggi ~ Embodied Consciousness
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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. \nShakti 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. \nShe was recently asked to contribute to the anthology <em>On the Mystery of Being: Contemporary Insights into the Convergence of Science and Spirituality</em> edited by Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo\, the founders of the Science and Non-Duality (SAND) Conference. She teaches in Europe\, Canada and the USA\, offering satsang\, seminars and retreats. \n“The true Heart is the space in which we can deeply meet ourselves and the entire world. The way to the Heart is an embodied Consciousness\, in which we are divinely human.”  \nWhere: Chochmat HaLev\, 2215 Prince St.\, Berkeley\, CA\nWhen: 11:00am – 5:00 pm\nSliding scale: $60 – $120\nNo pre-registration required.\nNo one turned away for lack of funds.\nNote: Per venue policy\, only vegetarian food is allowed on premises at Chochmat HaLev

SUMMARY:Tilicho ~ Be Yourself: Self-Enquiry and Self-Healing
DESCRIPTION:10 am to 12 noon (Pacific Time – San Francisco\, CA\, USA) Time Zone Converter \n“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.” \n“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.” \nTilicho 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. \nSatsang 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. \n“May all beings realize who they truly are! Om Sat Chit Ananda.” \nwww.tilicho.fr \nSuggested donation: $15 to $25\nPLEASE REGISTER EARLY if you can.
