Open Circle Events:

Adam Chacksfield ~ Living In Your Desire ~ In-Person in Berkeley, CA

How do you act and make choices when you realize thereÕs nothing you need to be or become? How do you claim the gift of your unique embodied life when you see that all stories of life purpose are fictions?

When we are spacious enough we can zoom out and realize the absolute freedom of nonduality, and the open space of vast possibility in which our particular lives are unfolding.

From here, we can also zoom in and explore the inspiration of our deepest desires. LetÕs tune in to what lights us up and what shuts us down. LetÕs embrace the sensual juiciness of our journey, and honor the movement our hearts and the truth of our experience. Inspiration effortlessly brings us all the way here, move us, and creates our lives.

You donÕt need to believe the fear and shame conditioning that has you ignore your desire and instead do what youÕve been taught is ÒnormalÓ or what Òyou should do.Ó You get to live inside your desire, enjoy itÕs erotic vitality, and unfold freely without believing in any destination.

AdamÕs teaching is an expression of nondual wisdom that also passionately embraces the whole of our embodied aliveness. AdamÕs reliable open-hearted presence makes him adept at supporting people in moving through the fear and shame conditioning that so often shuts us down.

Adam facilitates retreats and workshops in North America and Europe. He coaches individuals and couples. Adam also created and teaches a four-month online course called ÒErotic Embodiment & Intimacy.Ó
