I became a teacher to heal myself and guide others on this journey of healing.
The philosophy of Non-duality has been a major part of my recovery and is the basis of my thinking and embodied awareness practices I use for Pain and Trauma Recovery. I want to share it with you in love, peace, and joy.
Here is where we unveil and experience consciousness itself. This class invites you into a gentle inner journey, where Non-duality becomes something you explore from the inside out.
The teachings are rooted in the wisdom of Indian Sage Ramana Maharshi, whose Self-Inquiry (“Who am I?”) points you back to their your inner knowing.
I will be reading from the books of Non-duality teachers, such as Rupert Spira and others, who offer their guidance for recognizing the awareness we already are.
This class supports you in discovering truth through direct personal insight, individual and group reflection.
I will read out loud to you so that you can hear, feel, and experience the words of Non-duality teachers. We listen to the poetry of Rumi and other mystical voices, using their words as inspiration rather than instruction.
Each session offers a supportive space where you follow your own inner lead, uncovering stillness, clarity, and a deeper sense of unity at your own pace.

“The real Self is not the body or the mind. The mind, distracted by countless thoughts, creates the illusion of separation. Turn within, and the mind becomes still. When the mind is still, the Self shines forth. This is the true path to peace.”
NOTE: This incomplete list comprises both teachers I have studied and others I have identified to help you get a general understanding of Non-duality. There are many other teachers in different contemplative traditions. Including more women. This particular Non-dual tradition is derived from the ancient Indian philosophy of Advaita Vedanta which goes back to 3000 B.C.
Indian Sage Nisargadatta Maharaj was one of the first teachers to bring the teachings of Non-duality to the West. Here his words describe Non-dual awareness and the nature of the mind and how to use it:
