Tilicho ~ “On Truth”
What is Truth? What do we mean by "Awakening", "Enlightenment", "Self-realisation", "Samadhi", "The Natural State"? What are the spiritual traps? You are invited to explore what is it that you are really looking for.
About Tilicho:
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 the sacred mountain, Arunachala. 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.
“May all beings realize who they truly are! Om Sat Chit Ananda.”
If you wish to follow the initiation with the help of the book The Source, satsangs will also be the place to provide support, help, healing and clarity.

Although our true nature is untouched by anything we experience, our human body and mind are impacted by experiences that result in trauma. Any experience, especially early in life, that is outside our window of tolerance, can overwhelm our nervous system and create chronic stress patterns in the body/mind. These stuck patterns can affect our spiritual awakening process by making it more difficult to relax, trust, be in the present moment, and allow everything to be as it is—all of which are necessary for awakening.
This course will explore how to see healing from trauma and spiritual awakening as one process; each supporting the other. The more we awaken to our true nature, the more capacity we have to be present with traumatic stress; and the more we work with the trauma, the more capacity we have to be awake. Therefore, this course will point to both working with trauma using therapeutic methods and awakening to what is already free.
This four-week course will include the following topics:
- What is trauma? How it affects our neuro-physiology and creates fixed beliefs
- How trauma can be a path to awakening
- How trauma can be an obstacle to awakening
- How healing trauma and awakening are not separate paths
- How it’s not your fault—It’s your nervous system
- Skills for being present with and healing symptoms of trauma
- Guided meditations for awakening
