Welcome everyone to the Heart of Awakening website. There’s a lot here for you to explore. You’ll get a sense of the intentions that I hold for the Heart of Awakening; what happens during a Heart of Awakening gathering; and lots of practical details about how you can participate most easily, if and when they occur.
You’ll see registration information for a new course of study starting in January 2024 on the Bhagavad Gita. You'll also see information about a previous ongoing study group for the a classic Tantric text, the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra.
Finally, you'll find a bit about my spiritual background and information about my recent book (published by Columbia University Press) Liquid Light: Ayahuasca Spirituality and the Santo Daime Religious Tradition. Enjoy!
