The School is now full and will not be accepting new registrations.

Have you been looking for a total immersion in the nondual wisdom teachings? An opportunity to focus your attention week after week, with a seasoned teacher and an intimate group of kindred spirits, on your essential spiritual nature?

Next January I will once again be offering the School for Awakening, a six-month intensive program of teachings, self-inquiry, meditation, and in-depth exploration that enables you to work intimately with a teacher for an extended period of time.

The purpose of the School is to guide you to:

• Discover, recognize, and abide in your natural state of awakened awareness, the radiant source of all fulfillment, happiness, peace, and love

• Learn how to integrate, express, and embody this awakening in everyday life

If you've read the books, watched the YouTube videos, and attended an occasional satsang, class, or retreat but now want a "deep dive" into the nature of reality, the School for Awakening may be perfect for you.

The approach is based on more than 40 years of practice and realization in the nondual wisdom traditions of Zen, Advaita Vedanta, and Tibetan Dzogchen-Mahamudra. In 2001 I was invited to teach by Adyashanti, and I have been offering the School each year since 2007.

(Enroll in the School for Awakening by December 15 and receive the early-bird discount tuition of $1250 for the complete six-month program. Regular tuition is $1475.)

The program features:

• Eight biweekly online awakening classes

• Four biweekly embodiment group sessions

• Five individual mentoring sessions,

• Prerecorded teachings and meditations

• Dyadic and individual inquiry and contemplation

• Regular homework assignments

• Downloadable recordings of every class

• Two-day online retreat.

Each class session includes:

• Guided and silent meditations

• Profound nondual wisdom teachings

• Direct pointers to our essential spiritual nature

• Focused self-inquiry

• Ample time for sharing, questions, dialogue, and discussion

Limited to just 30 participants, the intimate group format enables class members to connect with one another, share their journey and the wisdom they've gathered, and create awakening community together.

In addition to classes, each participant has five individual mentoring sessions with me in which to explore and integrate the teachings in their own unique way.

In my experience, there are as many different forms and flavors of awakening as there are seekers, and retreats and classes that cater to hundreds of people fail to offer the customized, individual attention and guidance that I believe are most effective in actually facilitating the awakening and embodiment process.

Classes and group sessions are scheduled for 9 am PT/5 pm UK time on Wednesdays to welcome participants from North America, Europe, the UK, and Latin America. Each session is recorded and made available for download within a couple of days to make it easier to maintain continuity if you need to miss classes occasionally. Mentoring sessions are scheduled at times that are convenient for you.

Over the centuries, if you wanted to study Zen, Dzogchen, or Advaita Vedanta, you sought out a teacher and joined a small group of disciples or worked individually face to face to realize the truth under their guidance.

I had the immense good fortune to be able to study in this way with a number of extraordinary teachers, including Jean Klein and Adyashanti, and I'm pleased to be able to afford this opportunity to others.

Even though we have only one purpose in being together, the School will be divided into four modules with separate themes, which are just a way to reassure the mind that likes categories and boundaries.

In fact, each class will invite you to wake up right now, drop your habitual identities, and come to rest in awakened awareness.
