The Course of Awakening - Spring 2011 Semester

With Loch Kelly

In this course, we will explore the direct experience of Awake Awareness, which is at the heart of the world’s mystical and non-dual teachings. Being Awake is our natural condition, not something that is created or earned. Most of us have not been aware of this overlooked dimension of consciousness because we have not known how to re-connect with it. We can rediscover the freedom that is already here as we learn how to look, where to look, what to look for and who is looking. Loch presents an easy to understand framework for the paradoxical journey of waking up from our mistaken identity, waking in to an embodied life and waking out to relationship and activity. Each class will include a talk, dialogue, meditation and inquiry aimed at helping us re-connect with Awake Awareness at any time. Each class builds upon the previous one, so that we can explore the process of awakening as it unfolds.

Registration for Home Study for the Course of Awakening for the Fall 2010 Semester is still available online. This year there is a discounted price for the Home Study option. Home Study course participants will receive an audio recording and a transcript of each class.

Previous Home Study students have said that the experience of the course is different than listening to individual dharma talks or a series of satsang CD's or watching a DVD of a teacher. The course is presented in an experiential adult-education style to encourage you to get in touch with and learn to rely on your inner teacher. The classes are designed as a series, to build on each other. The Course will offer non-dual meditations, exercises and pointing-out instructions, designed for different learning types, to help each student move from an initial glimpse of awakening toward abiding and living as this in daily life.
