“Do not seek truth; only cease to cherish opinions.” 

— Seng-ts'an

Welcome, Friend.

There is a different way of living life.

A way that is radically simple.

And radically free.

The discovery of this simple freedom has been called awakening.

This discovery is perhaps the most precious treasure in life…

For it reveals ever-present wholeness and rest.

It allows you to truly appreciate all the treasures of your life—and life itself—on whole new levels most are not aware of.

It unearths vital wellsprings of enjoyment, flow, aliveness, love, unity, grace, creativity, child-like wonder, and peace.

Awakening may well be the deepest medicine of human life.

It goes to the root.

The root of great quantities of our suffering is this:

We believe we already know what life is.

Because we believe we already know what it is, we overlook it.

We do not open to its ever-present radiance.

In believing our thought-based story of life, we become ensnared in a time-bound world of separation; we feel like a small ‘me’ who is cut off and must leap through endless hoops to perhaps one day reach ‘success’ and ‘happiness.’

Yet there is another way.

There is another ‘side of the coin’: A freedom that is here now.

In Simple Freedom, we explore many ways of opening to this ever-present liberation. We playfully explore what it's like to relinquish all opinions, beliefs, and identities. We notice that these constructs cannot contain infinite Life. 

By learning to drop our usual lens, we discover a possibility of letting the Light in: opening to the Luminous Wholeness of Now.

The more fully and deeply we do this, the more life can reveal an innate sense of Completion, Peace, and Freedom Now.

We have been born in a boundless treasure chest that is waiting to show itself to us. We simply need to release our preconceived ideas to be able to see it.

Through Simple Freedom, we learn to experience Now as pure freshness. Openness. Home. We drop all labels and feel the miraculous Fullness of Being.

This non-conceptual engagement with Now is cumulative over time: The more you do it, the more is revealed, gradually shifting your fundamental orientation to life in an immensely liberating way.

On this journey, we will explore the unbound vastness of the present moment.

We’ll engage in meditations and explorations to help you discover ever-present spaciousness and simple freedom.

The intention is for you to recognize this freedom for yourself during our journey.

The intention is for you to directly see what is being pointed at—and experience its liberating quality—so you can continue noticing and deepening in/as this ever-unfurling boundlessness after our journey.

If you have already experienced awakening, Simple Freedom can also be valuable for further opening, deepening, and embodiment.

I look forward to exploring unfettered wholeness with you.
