Don’t miss this special event with one of the spiritual lights of our time. Join renowned spiritual teacher and author of The Direct Way, Adyashanti, as he explains the mystery of being, the true nature of the light and life within us. The mystery is not apart from life but the heart of existence. We will learn how to perceive the completeness in all things to see the reality of life here and now. There is sacredness in a blade of grass, in a teacup, in the fall breeze, in each moment of living and dying. Adyashanti has developed The Way of Liberation, a practical and useful guide to awaken you on your spiritual path and learn to live and express this realization each day.
Adyashanti is one of the most noted spiritual teachers in the world today. He is author of True Meditation, The Way of Liberation, The End of Your World, and his latest book, The Direct Way. He urges listeners to stop, inquire, and recognize what is true and liberating at the core of existence. Asked to teach in 1996 by his Zen teacher, Adyashanti teaches of direct realization, prior to tradition or ideology. Learn more.
Unless otherwise noted, all events will be recorded and the link will be emailed to all registrants within the following 48 hours. The recording will be available for a seven-day viewing period.

About Adyashanti’s latest book:
The Direct Way offers a sequence of 30 practices intended to connect with and cultivate ever-greater awareness of the unseen dimensions of your being. From the simple expression of “I am,” to an exploration of the Spiritual Heart, and all the way into the fundamental ground of being, these exercises emphasize that the process of awakening takes “many small glimpses, experienced many times.” Adya concludes with practical pointers on how to integrate transcendent experiences into the everyday fabric of life—including your career, personal goals, and intimate relationships.
Here you will discover:
How to dis-identify from conceptual, ego-based thinking
Perceiving the ego as a tool to navigate consciousness rather than an obstacle
The “knowing yet empty” quality of foundational awareness
The surprising route to realizing awareness of the Spiritual Heart
Feeling through the Spiritual Heart as a way to experience true interconnection
The meaning of the Zen teaching phrase, “This very body is the Buddha”
Exploring the exhilarating paradox of Being and Becoming
How to establish anchor points to stabilize your journey into the Ground of Being
What it means to live each day with “enlightened relativity”
How awakening puts control of your experience in your hands—but also the responsibility for it
No one experiences awakening quite the same. With The Direct Way, join Adyashanti to discover pathways toward an awareness as wide as the sky and as personal as your innermost heart.
