Amoda Maa ~ Falling into Openness

Amoda MaaÕs teachings offer a timeless truth that is relevant to our modern times, speaking to the contemporary seeker who wants to go to the raw edge where our spirituality meets our humanity. Through her intimate dialogues, she invites you to reject nothing, welcome everything, and surrender into the deepest falling of the open heart.

ÒWhat really matters is your willingness to turn towards tenderness in the midst of that which offends you, to stand as openness in the face of brokenness, and to bear the unbearable. This is the path of surrender .. and the only way I know to enter the slip-stream of unspeakable grace inside this human experience.Ó

Amoda Maa is a spiritual teacher, offering meetings and retreats to support and deepen the living of an awakened life. She has been sharing her teachings since 2012, initially at small gatherings in the UK. Today, she lives in the US and her teachings are followed by a growing number of seekers world-wide. She has been a speaker at several conferences, a guest on numerous radio shows, and a guest teacher at various centers of spirituality and philosophy. She brings to her teachings a depth and breadth of understanding of the human journey, born out of her own immersion in the furnace of personal transformation. Her teachings are free from any lineage or tradition.

Amoda Maa is also the author of several books. Her most recent Embodied En-lightenment (published in 2017) Ñ written 15 years after her awakening Ñ is based on the many conversations at the cutting edge of spiritual inquiry in her meetings with people from all around the world, and addresses many of the ques-tions relevant to todayÕs seeker. It has been acclaimed as Òa beautiful and pre-cious gift to an emerging new humanityÓ as well as Òthe best spiritual book since Eckhart TolleÕs A New Earth.Ó

Amoda currently lives with her husband and beloved, Kavi, in New Mexico.
