AWAKENING HEART SANGHA AND NONDUALITY

Awakening Heart Sangha is a unique nondual spiritual community focusing on Awakening to One True Self.   

Nonduality is a profound philosophy that asserts the existence of a singular Eternal Spirit, with everything in the Universe being an interconnected and inseparable part. It challenges the perception of duality and separation, suggesting that what we interpret with our senses and mind is an illusion. In essence, you are not your body or thoughts, nor are you separate from others or the creative force that birthed you.

Nondual spiritual practices such as meditation, contemplation, and self-inquiry are an essential part of our shared practice.  Contemplating universal principles, listening to inner wisdom, and prayer can all help remove the veil that the mind creates, allowing us to realize the Oneness of everything. 

In a nutshell, these are the principles we are devoted to following: 

  • We know it is essential to cultivate the awareness that we are the observers of our experience, not our personalities (We choose to rise above the battleground).

  • We take responsibility for our own thoughts, reactions, judgments, and projections.  We know that everything we see, we give all the meaning it has for us.

  • When we are upset and find ourselves blaming and judging others, we know that the upset is about some core belief that is trying to get our attention. And THAT is the work.  

 To live these principles, we express all grievances at our morning meetings—no people-pleasing or secret thoughts! We use the Origin of an Upset Process, a powerful tool that helps us identify the core beliefs behind our upsets. We join with others about our upset, only to process and heal, never to gossip!

The intention we bring to the morning circle is very specific and focused: we are healing the Mind. It is not an emotional support group. While emotions are always welcome to be expressed, they are expressed with the intention of discovering one's own beliefs behind the emotions.  

This is our path to awakening to the truth of nonduality.

Expression Sessions: 


  • Community gathering five mornings a week for heartfelt sharing in a loving and safe environment, encouraging genuine connections among residents.
  • Expression Sessions use the Clarity process to experience a shift in perception, from the egoic self to the awakened Being.
  • Emphasis is on seeing that an issue is in our separate body-mind and shifting to a realization that we are a perfect child of God - our true nature.
  • At the end of our sharing, we may ask to see our egoic thoughts differently, or leave it on the altar with the group's support to experience joy, peace, love, and wholeness.
