Live Awake Meeting
Boulder, CO, https://maps.app.goo.gl/BbnCTffweDTuZeoVA, Boulder County, CO, USAre you interested in awakening from your mind, knowing your true nature, and embodying more freedom and fulfillment in your daily life?
Join us as we come home to the simplicity of what's always here, beyond concepts and striving.
• Rest in presence in community with those who share your commitment to living in alignment with truth
• Receive support from a seasoned guide to help you attune to your own inner teacher and see through what gets in the way
• Fulfill your spiritual longing by recognizing that what you want most is already here, and inseparable from you
Together we’ll enter into a space where our knowing of what is true can ripen through mutual inquiry and witnessing. A space where the freedom you long for, or may have glimpsed alone, can awaken and deepen within community. A field that supports your insights to naturally integrate into your body, your daily life, your relationships, and the way you show up for what matters most.

Essence Relating Circle
Boulder, CO, https://maps.app.goo.gl/BbnCTffweDTuZeoVA, Boulder County, CO, USHave you been longing for more depth in your connections?
If you’re interested in awakening, living awake, or are highly sensitive—and want to enjoy being with people more—Essence Relating was created for you. We connect through embodied presence, silence, and the speaking that arises from this. Be aware: tears, laughter, and deep insights are common occurrences.
Join us and experience what it’s like to abide in the steady fulfillment of your own essence while connecting with others.
This is more than a sharing or authentic relating circle. It’s a deeply intentional space to:
- Embody present moment awareness in connection
- Transform your relational nervous system
- Relate from essence to essence rather than old limiting patterns
- Discover the nourishment that arises when truth is felt and expressed together—through speech and silence.
- Come away with a simple powerful tool to bring what you gain from the meeting into your daily life.
Join us in this safe space where we deepen awakening and hone the skills for transforming our relating experiences—within the circle, beyond the circle, and with each other.
“I don’t think I have ever felt this at peace in a circle of people.”
—Danae Yume Shanti

Awaken From Your Mind: Free Experiential Talk
Boulder Library Main Branch, 1001 Arapahoe Ave, Boulder, CO, USWould you like to live more awake? To experience the spiritual fulfillment and clarity in daily life you sense—or even hope—is possible?
Awakening from your mind is a powerful first step.
So many sincere seekers spend their time in spiritual practice trying to control, calm, accept, or watch their mind. Some of these practices can be very useful, but they're not the same as awakening from your mind. Intimately experiencing your essence—and gaining the clarity to live more freely as that... this often requires a more direct approach and skilled guidance.
Most people want a life filled with what matters most: Spiritual fulfillment, enriching relationships, enlivening soul expression, and meaningful contribution—with a felt sense of belonging.
Yet even after powerful breakthroughs, many get pulled back into overthinking, doubt, confusion, and old behaviors.
This free experiential talk will show you why awakening from the mind is the shift that can change everything. Instead of giving you a theory or more concepts, you’ll be guided through a simple, direct experience that helps you:
• Cut through mental noise
• Wake up to what’s true, beyond the limits of thinking
• Clarify what matters most
• Reconnect with the fulfillment that's already here
It’s not abstract. You’ll feel the shift for yourself.
If you’re sincere, curious, or quietly longing for something more real, join us and discover why I call awakening from your mind the first step to living what matters most.
