Amoda Maa invites an open-hearted honesty to the exploration of what it means to live as freedom in all circumstances. She offers profound pointers to how this freedom reveals itself if we are willing to surrender all resistance to "what is" and how the light of our essential nature shines through all experience when the"veil of self" comes undone. Through dialogue, inquiry, and guided meditation, she supports the recognition of that which is beyond the duality of perception, thought and feeling, and takes us to the experience of the ever-present and unchanging reality of awareness. This unbounded awareness is the eternal ground of Being... and this is the source of true peace and freedom.

Amoda Maa offers a profound invitation to all those who wish to embody the truth of awakened consciousness in the midst of everyday life. Amoda's teachings are free from any ideology and are not affiliated with any lineage or tradition, and yet the luminous truth is the same nondual understanding at the core of many spiritual traditions.

Born in Cyprus in 1962, educated in England, she went through a time of intense hardship, and a time of discovering inner riches. She was immersed in Buddhist and Zen meditation, tantric energy work, shamanic healing, breath work, and psychology. Her search for freedom led her to the Osho Ashram in Pune, India, in the 1990s. She experienced a profound awakening and liberation of self from the knot of ego in 2002. In 2012, she started sharing her experience of awakened consicousness in the UK. She moved to the US in 2016. She offers meetings and retreats in the US and Europe, is the author of several books, and is founder and spiritual director of the Amoda Maa Foundation.
