Event Information

Awakening hinges on your genuine desire for the discovery of your true nature. If it is to flower in you, you must truly want liberation from everything that is false in you, you must want to give yourself totally to the inquiry into what is true beyond all inherited concepts, ideas and beliefs. And yet the living experience of this revelation is very ordinary: you have simply re-discovered the innocent wholeness of your essential nature. It’s the you that never was and never will be separate from anything at all. This discovery is the end of suffering.

But awakening is just the beginning. The adventure begins, not in the rarified atmosphere of transcendence, but in the midst of the chaos of life. And living the truth of awakening has perhaps never been more of an imperative than in today’s rapidly changing world. The invitation is for you to awaken to the pristine perfection of your inner light and then to fully embody and express this light amidst the mystery and mess of human existence.

This Open Meeting starts with Silent Sitting followed by a Discourse. The discourse is always spontaneous and speaks from the fullness of present-moment awareness whilst often pointing to the down-to-earth reality of how awakening is lived. Amoda Maa then invites you through Questions and Inquiry into a conversation that is fresh, intimate and authentic. Nothing is required of you, other than an open heart and mind, and you may simply sit in silence if you prefer.

Both newcomers and those familiar with Amoda's message are welcome.

"The purpose of my teaching is to ignite this wanting in you. When the flame of this desire becomes an untamable fire, it flips a switch inside of you and the direction of your destiny is irrevocably altered. It’s like turning on the light only to discover that you are this light. This in itself is extra-ordinary: even though you may have heard the words a thousand times, nothing can prepare you for the naked reality that is revealed."
