"The Inward Journey"
AWAKE is a 6-month (January-June 2025), once a month 90 minutes (set aside 2 hours) online group Zoom immersion. (recorded)
This is a structured and supported study and self-inquiry, pranayama (breathwork) and Shatkriya (cleansing) practices, and meditation group, inclusive of Q & A time, and an ongoing Whatsapp exchange group.
The name "AWAKE" references the awakening evolutionary impulse that goes by many names in various world traditions. The name speaks to the moment when a person awakens to the deep desire to venture and look inward to undertake the journey into the Heart-Essence of Unity Consciousness.
Teachings are grounded in twelve years of study and practice of nondual Tantra Shaivism and Shakta teachings with the late meditation Master, Sally Kempton (Swami Durgananda), and rooted in the lineage of Siddha Gurus. Also, the teachings and practices are grounded in and align with the Sister sciences of Yoga and Ayurveda.
At some point in one's spiritual unfoldment Ayurveda wisdom and practices become key and help immensely everyday living, along with assisting with moving through healthily and safely the processing and dissolution of inner contractions, obstructions and limitations in multiple forms.
Each time we come together we'll cover a specific pillar of spiritual life and learn and practice a foundational meditation that you can continue to practice with each month to untangle, explore and restructure the inner world. Also, each month there is a recommended read to go deeper into our focus for that month.
The 6 pillars we'll explore in 2025:
1. Clearing & Creation of Sacred Space -- Sunday, January 12 at 8 am PST
2. Introduction to Dinacharya (Self-care) -- Saturday, February 8 at 8 am PST

This course of study is offered yearly. The Whatsapp group is ongoing. This offering is open to all people worldwide.
