What we’re about

The Awakening to Spirit (ATS) Group is an online spiritual community of soul-connected people who desire to transcend their egos and wake up to their connection with Spirit.
The ATS Group met for 18 years, and will begin again in the late summer of 2025. People attracted to this group are drawn to mystics and spiritual teachers such as: Eckhart Tolle, Byron Katie, Pema Chodron, Thich Nhat Hanh, Deepak Chopra, Gangaji, Adyashanti, Jack Kornfield, Jon Kabat Zinn, and the Dalai Lama, among others.
The Awakening to Spirit (ATS) group originally met in Sacramento and Davis, California. It consists of one monthly, two-hour gathering. Group gatherings always begin with a group meditation. Thereafter, there may be discussion of a nondual spiritual book or teaching/teacher, a guest presentation, an experiential practice to more deeply help participants connect with the essence of who they are, an i-Rest practice (see www.irest.us), or a group discussion about what is currently feeding group participants' spiritual journeys and what is challenging their sense of meaning, greater life purpose, or sense of connection with Self, others and Spirit. The group supports participants’ spiritual practices.
The group has its own website, www.awakening2spirit.org
Facilitator, Deborah Cohen, LMFT, has been stuyding nondual spiritual teachings in depth for over 25 years. She is also trained in body-based psychotherapies and spiritual work.
