Resting in the Radiance of Being

A direct path into luminous nonduality, rooted in the living heart

11 AM – 3.30 PM Pacific Time
Berkeley, CA

For More Info and Registration, please click HERE. 

Join Amoda Maa in the open and alive atmosphere of Berkeley, California, USA for an intimate daylong gathering. This meeting offers a welcoming space to slow down, listen deeply, and come into direct contact with what is most true.

Amoda Maa invites those gathered to rest as the awareness that is already here, prior to the movement of thought. With clarity and warmth, she points to the natural simplicity of being, revealing the freedom, presence, and aliveness that are always available—a living teaching explored in her new book, Unveiling the Light of Being.

The day will unfold in two sessions, with a lunch break in between. Each session will include a short period of silence, a discourse arising from the moment, and ample time for questions and open dialogue with Amoda Maa.

This event is hosted by the Amoda Maa Foundation in association with Open Circle Center.

Open Circle Teachers: Amoda Maa
TEACHER BIOGRAPHY

Amoda Maa

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.

She offers meetings and retreats in the USA and Europe, is the author of several books, and is founder and spiritual director of the Amoda Maa Foundation.

“Beyond the veils of ego-mind lies awareness itself—pure, luminous, and ever-present. It is not something to attain but something to remember, something so close it is often overlooked.”
