Homecoming
12-week live online meditation program
Intention
‘It is not the pursuit of greater and greater states of happiness and bliss
that leads to enlightenment but the yearning for Reality
and the dissatisfaction with living anything less than a fully authentic life.’
Adyashanti
Often people find themselves on a spiritual path looking for healing or happinness, to bypass their humanness or because they search for exciting spiritual experiences.
This program is different. It aims at taking you right to the essence of what is.
Awaken to the reality of what you are and engage with life through that understanding.
Embrace both: the divinity and humanness of your existence.
See that essentially there is no separation between them.
See the Reality for what it is; beyond the limiting physical, mental and emotional identifications.
The aim is not to master techniques, philosophies or become better in any way.
Expect simplification, surrender and resting in meditation. It's about finding love and devotion in your heart for yourself, for meditation and all of life.
The aim is for you to know yourself. To experience yourself - Your True Self.
To come home to yourself.
There is no healing component to this program but there are beautiful byproducts of such intimate encounter with existence: more peace, love, joy, compassion, trust, beauty, gratitude, seeing extraordinary in the ordinary…
The depth of intimacy with all of life that arises from here is simply beyond the words.
I hope to see you soon!

Embodiment
If spiritual insights or philosophies are not translating into more awakened presence and engagement in daily life, they only feed into spiritual ego creating more suffering than liberation.

You feel drawn to it for no apparent reason!
-
You want to experientially understand what is commonly referred to in ‘spirituality’ as emptiness, void, flow state, dropping ego, timelessness, open heart, unity, surrender, compassion, unconditional love…
-
You want to understand or explore the nature of reality. What am I? What is life? What is god? How is this all actually manifesting?
-
You are ready to live authentically, honestly, courageously and joyfully.
-
You are ready to invite magic, unknown, spontaneity into your ordinary life.
-
You want to be free to be fully present, intimately connected and engaged in your day to day life.

You are tired of forever improving yourself and working on yourself. You are tired of looking at yourself (and others) as faulty project that needs fixing.

You are tired of philosophizing, and countless new spiritual experiences (spiritual consumerism) that bring no changes to how you actually experience life.
-
You want freedom but you keep circling back to the same limiting themes.
