About us
Welcome to the DMV Nonduality Community! This group is for individuals interested in exploring nonduality through meditation, discussions and watching videos or listening to audios of various nondual teachers such as Adyashanti, Eckhart Tolle, Gangaji, Eli Jaxon-Bear, Ram Dass and others. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious newcomer, our meetup provides a friendly, supportive space to delve deeper into the nature of reality and consciousness. Join us to connect with like-minded individuals no matter your race, gender or sexual orientation, expand your understanding of nonduality and maybe even experience profound moments of awakening together. Let's embark on this inner journey of self-discovery and interconnectedness in the DMV area!
We meet the first and third Sundays. Doors open at 10:30 AM for 30 minutes of unguided silent sitting together followed by a short audio or video, personal sharing of your issues and/or experiences of awakening, and a potluck lunch. If you plan to stay for lunch, please bring a healthy, vegetarian dish. We will finish up approximately 1:00-1:30 PM.
Your hosts are Jeff and Julie Maurer. Jeff has been on the spiritual path since he first met Ram Dass almost fifty years ago. His most influential teacher has been Gangaji, who he has been with for 30 years. He has also gone through extensive training with Eli-Jaxon Bear to help people move through their issues and find greater peace in their lives. He has also been teaching meditation for about 20 years. Julie's path began with shamansim about 30 years ago, but a profound experience convinced her that there was something beyond the world of the spirits, in which even the spirits appeared. She found nonduality shortly after that and realized it was what she had been searching for. She has been a certified facilitator of the Living Inquiries since 2013 and has written the booklet "A Simple 4-Step Guide to Finding Peace" which is available on Amazon. Julie and Jeff and have been married since 2019 and have been deepening in this Awareness together ever since.

Effortless Meditation & Beyond, sharing and potluck
Our Home, 3 Briardale Court, Rockville, MD, USJoin us for something a little different from our usual this Sunday morning as we collectively explore the pathless path to spiritual awakening and enlightenment. Jeff will be sharing his Effortless Meditation & Beyond or EM&B as he likes to call it.
EM&B is a unique, effortless, simple, direct, quick and effective tool:
- to experience MUCH less anxiety, frustration, depression, stress and suffering due just daily living and due to intensely life-long emotional issues
- to experience MORE and MORE inner Peace, Joy, Freedom, Love, Compassion, Appreciation, Gratitude
- to directly realize Spiritual Awakening ~ your True Self...
Jeff has taught EM&B to small and large groups for over 22 years and, as a volunteer, taught EM&B to inmates at a local jail for over 13 years. The results have been remarkable!
Generally, inmates experience enormous amount of frustration, anger, sadness, depression, anxiety and fear about things they have no control over on the outside, as well as concerns for themselves inside. Through EM&B, many have experienced deep Peace... In April 2019 Jeff received an Excellence award for "Outstanding Volunteer" from the jail.Come connect with like-minded individuals from the DMV area and embark on an experiential journey of discovery of who we really are. Doors open at 10:30 AM for the meditation, time to share afterwards, and a potluck lunch to connect even more. If you plan to stay for lunch please bring a healthy, vegetarian dish to share. We will finish at approximately 1:00-1:30 PM.
