Private country home & LIVESTREAM

While the essence of the awakening process is a letting go, it cannot be willed. Rather, it arises from a spontaneous upwelling of our deepest desire to be completely emptied out, opened, and freed from any internal resistance to abiding in and as our true nature as loving awareness. Through guided and silent meditation, dyadic inquiry, a talk and experiential conversations, we will explore attuning with this deepest of desires and recognizing and welcoming the inevitable resistance that arises.
