Mukti ~ Discover Your True Self
What is the most essential you that is present regardless of thought or emotion? Who or what has been present for all of your life experience? How does this spirit of constancy touch your life? Mukti will offer a mediation and then speak on these compelling topics followed by the opportunity for questions and answers pointing directly to the true nature of Self.
Mukti, whose name is translated as "liberation," is a teacher in the lineage of Adyashanti, her husband. Prior to 1996, when she began studying the nondual, Zen-flavored teachings of Adyashanti, Mukti studied the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda for over 20 years. In her own teachings, Mukti points audiences back to their natural state of wholeness or undivided consciousness. Licensed in acupuncture and certified to teach hatha yoga, Mukti has a love of the whole, in form as well as the formless.

Join us for this special series of evening meetings and daylong gatherings with Isaac Shapiro in Berkeley.
Date & Time info is detailed below.
Isaac helps us inquire into how we live our lives moment by moment, and how to better align ourselves with the deepest spiritual truths. He works through pointed but good-humored questioning, reflecting back to us, and helping to unravel, the conditioning of the mind and the nervous system, allowing a deeper participation in the moment.
Isaac is an internationally known facilitator and non-dual teacher, fascinated with life lived in alignment with the world’s wisdom traditions. He enjoys exploring and assisting those who share this interest. A student of H.W.L. Poonja (Papaji), Isaac draws on a broad spectrum of understanding, from neurophysiology to some of the latest discoveries in quantum physics, which he applies in a light-hearted but direct way.
Through years of working with people, Isaac has cultivated and refined an ability to track what is happening in the nervous system of participants. Bringing this awareness to people’s attention, allows our natural, innate self-regulating mechanism to be re-established.
“My approach is to invite you to look for yourself at what is true in your own being. This points to what you already know, but which is obscured in the ways of the nervous system. The beauty of this invitation is that nothing needs to be changed, fixed or eliminated. It is a non-dualistic, non-judgmental enquiry into our present being.
“Everything happens through the agency of awareness. As we bring awareness to our unconscious habits, there is a shift that occurs. In the course of the investigation, people spontaneously recognize the true nature of themselves, which many report as the experience of peace, unconditional love, compassion, or simply of being home.”

A special message written from Matt to the Berkeley audience:
"What’s not to love about Berkeley? From the free-spirited nature of a passionate artist-driven community to farm-to-table ethics celebrated throughout so many restaurants and cafes alike, Berkeley is home to the progressive thinker. Balance all this with the energies of oneness that permeate the hearts of so many residents and you have a place where tech execs, die-hard foodies and spiritual warriors can call home.
"This is why I am always so privileged to make Berkeley a featured stop along my annual group-healing tour. My intuition tells me this year will be perhaps the most potent and miraculous Berkeley weekend of them all. I'd love to gather with you there on September 13 and 14!"
The Heart of Awakening
Fri. September 13, 7:00-9:00pm PDT
All seating is GENERAL ADMISSION and on a first-come, first-served basis.
What if there was an easier, more direct and loving way to experience the light of self-realization? What if it didn’t require effort, years of study, or endless hours of practice in order to be experienced? Are you ready to explore a brand-new way of waking up that allows the ego to let go and surrender with kindness, simplicity, and ease? If so, then please join best-selling author, YouTube sensation, and empathic healer Matt Kahn to enter a brand-new paradigm of revelation and self-discovery. Those who are unable to attend both weekend gatherings are able to purchase livestream passes for either event. If you are ready to explore a new reality of truth that is as equally loving and supportive as it is aligned and wise, then this event will be an exciting new way to dissolve the boundaries of perception.
Ultimate Liberation
Sat. September 14, 11:00am - 5:00pm PDT

This full-day immersion is your opportunity to experience the living presence of liberation or Samadhi that is transmitted on an energetic level as Matt speaks. The more often the energy of Samadhi is felt, the more it is received by the subconscious mind to be integrated and embodied throughout your life. If you are ready to end the seeking and suffering and step into the fullness of your radiant eternal being, then this one-day immersion is an incredibly healing way to open the door of liberation with compassion, peace and ease.

Don’t just hear about it online afterwards, but come be in the healing energy as the spontaneous transmission unfolds. Each gathering is a living, breathing, visceral experience of unconditional love to inspire your soul’s journey to be reawakened, and reimagined in the most heart-centered way.
Using his laser-like, highly-honed intuitive abilities of seeing, hearing, feeling, and direct knowing, Matt Kahn feels the emotions of others and is able to accurately pinpoint what blocks any heart from opening. As a result, he brings forth revolutionary teachings through the spoken word to assist energetically-sensitive beings in healing the body, awakening the soul, and transforming reality to its absolute potential. At each live event, Matt delivers channeled teachings that guide you into higher levels of consciousness with humor, gentleness, and ease.
If you’re ready to explore your life’s purpose on a deeper level, feel more aligned with Spirit, and contribute to the awakening of humanity by shining your light as never before; you are invited to receive the timeless insights, loving wisdom, and healing energy that are offered at each Soul Gathering, Weekend Immersion, and Retreat event.

Matt Kahn is a spiritual teacher and highly-attuned empathic healer. He is the author of the books, Whatever Arises, Love That and Everything Is Here To Help You. His spontaneous awakening arose out of an out-of-body experience at the age of 8, and through his direct experiences with ascended masters and archangels throughout his life. Using his intuitive abilities of seeing, hearing, feeling, and direct knowing, as an empath, Matt feels the emotions of others and is able to pinpoint what blocks any heart from opening. As a result, he brings forth revolutionary teachings through both the written and spoken word that assist energetically-sensitive beings in healing the body, awakening the soul, and transforming reality through the power of love.

"All we have is the sensory experience of this moment, NOW. This moment is only an experience to us. That’s all we have. The world, time, space, our own bodies and each other are all an experience to us. Through noticing how our cells respond in the experience of now, there is a noticing of the production of not only the sense of reality but also the sense of self that we believe we have."

Michael Damian ~ Embracing the Desire for Happiness
"Happiness is not in things. Happiness is in the wholeness of things."
Life is not a meaningless series of experiences happening to no one. For each of us, it feels vitally important that we find real love and happiness, by understanding who we are on both the spiritual and human levels. From the start, this requires that we fully embrace our desire for happiness.
It is inevitable that we will grasp at the wrong things, but as we become established in deep observing, our desires are purified and transformed. Instead of harboring an anxious desire to receive love from outside, we become that very love, in expression.
As we intelligently work with desire, we are also invited to abandon the mistaken quest to lose our sense of self. The real self is conscious presence, and we cannot lose what is infinitely ours. Observing takes us all the way from the most deluded sense of self, and its misguided desires, to the subtle wisdom of consciousness.
From inner listening, the real self arises as direct knowing, deep love and radiant energy. Live here long enough and you become a vital and empowered being, capable of enjoying life in all its forms and seasons.
Michael Damian shares a clear vision of awakening and psychological integration. Arising from a powerful spiritual awakening in 2006, and his practice as a depth psychologist, Michael’s teachings point to the simplicity of knowing our real nature while also mastering our psychology. Michael’s approach is based, in part, on work with A Course in Miracles and his main teacher Barry Long. He is the author of The Art of Freedom: A Guide to Awakening.
